Aghora the benevolent is predominantly of sattva nature with minimal of rajas and tamas. Sri Dakshinamurthy who corresponds to Aghora the south aspect of Shiva is therefore represented facing south. 3.1. Since Sri Dakshinamurthy the Adi-Guru teaches knowledge ( jnana-karaka ) that liberates ( mokshadam ) it seems appropriate he faces south, according to Padma samhita.

Grohol, Psy.D. on May 4, 2013 A new study reveals that practitioners of meditation experience changes in gene expression that are the exact opposite of what occurs during the “flight or fight” stress response. Specifically, genes associated with energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, insulin secretion, and telomere maintenance are turned on, while those involved in inflammation are turned off. These effects are more significant and consistent for long-term practitioners. People who practice simple meditation aren’t “just relaxing,” explained the study’s senior author, Dr. It’s been shown that repeating a yoga pose, prayer, or mantra while disregarding other thoughts protects against anxiety and depression as well as physical conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and types of cancer that are exacerbated by stress. All of the subjects’ blood samples revealed changes in gene expression following meditation.
