Professor of Neurology Explains Brain Science, Consciousness, Mental Health & Yogic Principles

D.V. Pasupuleti, MD, FACP, FAANEM   Though I now lives in the United States, I had the good fortune to grow up in India. As a result, the positive values included in this website were deeply instilled in me. They’ve made me more mindful, compassionate, and centered. They’ve also contributed to my success as a neurologist, teacher, and professor of medicine at Michigan State University and Central Michigan University.   Humanity, philanthropy and teaching are my lifelong passions. I’ve authored neurological articles in medical journals and magazines. I’ve served as Director of Neurology and Director of Neurology Curriculum for an Internal Medicine Residency Program. And I’ve served as a neurology consultant for three hospitals.     I believe ignorance is the root cause of all the problems in the world. Divisions, differences and duality are due to ignorance only. And I have an unrelenting thirst for knowledge, and a burning desire to help bring spiritual awareness to people irrespective of their age, gender, race, creed, religion or socioeconomic background. I treat all my patients with same dignity and passion.     I hope you feel that way when you spend time on this website. And, in addition to you enjoying learning more about India, I hope this website brings you greater peace, happiness, and harmony.   Dr. P’s history in medicine in spirituality Bhagavad-Gita Upanishads Brain science Mindset and thoughts are the most important factor for brain health Ignorance is the biggest danger in the world Purity of the mind is your bliss Pineal Gland myth and the pituitary gland Neurological of fear The origins of pranayama practices Use breathing to overcome fear and anxiety Understanding change does not happen overnight Going to the root problem and removing pharmaceuticals Contemplating the fear of death Allowing thoughts but be an observer The billions of neuro cells of the brain How to optimize your brain health The importance of moderation Yogic systems – body, mind, emotions, energy You are what you eat Understanding higher consciousness, universal consciousness and will Why you already have the higher consciousness you just need to invoke it Why jesus and vedas use anologies The mind gives everything name and form The brain has plasticity until you die The story of a yogi who walks on water You have to use the mantra selflessness 108 energy centres in the body The difference between mantras and affirmations Mental Health has connection with the physical body The art of self inquiry, who are we, what are we?
