SK & P : Effect : Immune system NK cells : 3 groups
• Those practising SK and P x at least 2 years
• Normal controls
• Cancer patients in remission Cancer patients in remission
• Controls Vs those practicing SK & P
NK cells : baseline, after 3 and 6 months. S.N. Das, Additional Prof., Biotechnology, AIIMS

Increase in NK cells and antioxidant defence
• May protect or delay the onset of several diseases
specifically age related diseases including cancer
• May slow down cancer progression

SK & P : tobacco Cessation : 82 subjects
Day 6 : 53 / 82 = 65%
Month 2 : 63 individuals FU
23 Tobacco free
23/82 = 28%
Month 6 : 34 individuals FU
17 Tobacco free
17 /82 = 21%

Tobacco cessation through SK & P
• Cost effective
• No side effects
• Durable
• Urge to smoke disappears
• No effort or supervision required

Health & Spirituality
• SK & P and meditation (spiritual practices):
– elimination of stress, anxiety
– allow free flow of neuropeptides and receptors:
molecules of emotions
• Better Immune status and antioxidant defense
• Freedom from addiction (tobacco & alcohol)
• Healthier body and healthier mind

SKY : Wellness effect 109 subjects 56 SKY vs 53 control (relaxed x 15 min) After 6 weeks of practice SKY gr • Lower anxiety, depression and stress • Higher degree of optimism • Perceived the practices as a positive event • Strong relaxation response – stress reduction Dr. Fahlri,
Prof. Molecular and Cell Biology, Univ. of Oslo, Norway
![Page 15: Sharma H, Sen S, Singh A, Bhardwaj NK, Kochupillai V and Singh N. Sudarshan Kriya practitioners exhibit better antioxidant status and lower blood lactate](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e2b5503460f94b1a137/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SK : Effect on gene expression
• SK affects stress related signaling/ metabolic pathways
• 3 fold higher levels of glutathione in SKY practitioners
• Also higher levels of Catalase, glutathione N transferase and
glutathione peroxidase in RNA in SKY practitioners as
observed by RT – PCR.
• Increase in HTERT in SK practitioners : indicates delayed
senescence – longer life span
• Decrease in beta 2, C Myc and C-fos –
Suggests better protection against cancer
