(Note: Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and Dharma Jagruti Foundation are conducting Santana Dharma classes to the youth for 12 weeks starting from May 25 in Frisco Texas. On June 8, 2025, we talked about the importance of Pradakshina, Super brain Yoga and God eating Naivedyam. Discussed about the benefits one accrues by application Bindi on the forehead.)
Super Brain Yoga
Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi explains the origins of Super Brain Yoga, the puranic stories related to this yoga, how is practiced, the health and physical benefits and voluminous research conducted across USA and India. Super brain yoga is performed by holding the left ear with right hand fingers and the right by left hand fingers and simultaneously sitting and standing in front of Lord Ganesha and seeking his blessings. 
    Two stories are narrated in our Puranas with the practice of Super brain Yoga. Many Hindus do this Super brain yoga in front of Lord Ganesha, who is known for intelligence and knowledge. Proper holding of the earlobes, the major acupuncture point,  stimulates the mouth, eyes, temples, testes, ovaries, forehead, and brain.  The research conducted to find out the benefits revealed that the students who practiced this technique have fewer symptoms of autism, dyslexia, ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Down syndrome and show fewer emotional disturbance. Other benefits include improved sex drive, lower psychological stress, promotes mental clarity and focus, increases creativity and intelligence, and an increase in calmness and inner peace which can further aid in appetite control and overall health management. 
    Many Universities in India and USA are conducting research on high school students who have found out that they experienced less frustration, improved class participation, lowered anxiety and fear, improved standardized test scores, and increased peer association. They also showed more compassion, kindness, and generosity.
Pradakshina
Pradakshina is going around or circumambulating the deity in Garbhagudi with devotion, with folded hands. The circumference of a circle is equidistant from the center. This means that wherever we may be or whoever we may be, we are equally close to the Lord. His grace flows towards us without partiality. Pra means toward, onward, forward;  Dakshina means south. 
The Pradakshina is always done in a clockwise direction, but do we know the reason behind it? This is because we always believe that God exists in the center of the universe. He is the center of our very existence. He is Omnipresent. So, when we do pradakshina in a clockwise direction, we believe that all our actions and thoughts are centered on God, the universal power of the world. The center point remains fixed at all times no matter what distance we perform the pradakshina
Naivedyam/Prasdam
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad-Gita (9.26), “If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.” If there is no love and devotion behind the offering, the magnitude of the offering is not important to Him.
Types of Naivedyam: Naivedyam can be of different types depending on the occasion, deity and region. Some of the common types of Naivedyam are fruits, eatables and food items such as curd rice, Pongal, lemon rice, milk rice, sweet Pongal, payasam and ghee rice.
"Does God eat the food that offer? If He does, why has the vessel not been emptied?" A child may ask a teacher, "Does God eat the offering we made, why didn't he finish the food? “
Teacher aske the children to read s simple mantra written in the book: “Om Ganeshyana Maha.” and learn it by heart. Then the teacher asked them to chat, which they did. The teacher said, the Mantra is still in the book. How can you say you got it. Then he started talking about the difference between gross and subtle state.
