Furthermore, in the year 2000, three Indian beauties won three of the most important beautiful contest titles in the world. They were Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutt and Diya Mirza who won the Miss World, Miss Universe and Miss Asia Pacific beauty pageant, consecutively. These three beauties attributed their success to breathing exercises which allowed them to remain calm, clear, focus and stay at ease. They also mentioned that there was a feeling for peace from within by doing this practice.

In areas of research studies, very recently, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences of India (NIMHANS) has shown that by doing Sudarshan kriya, there were beneficial biological effects on the brain and hormone function, in the 1st session itself and patients who had suffered from depression and sleep disorder were normalised in less than 30 days (The Art of Living, 1996).

NIMHANS also found that by doing pranayama and Sudarshan kriya there was a statistically significant decrease in blood there was an increase in a hormone called prolactin which is known for producing feelings of well-being.

Dr N Janakiraamiah, Medical Director of Nimhans remarked that Sudarshan kriya is capable of giving remarkable therapeutic effects. It has the advantage of restoring health along with increasing a person's personal autonomy. Therefore, the current study confirms that there is overt evidence that breathing exercises can improve the physical, emotional and mental aspect of life.
NIMHANS in India.
National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences is a multidisciplinary Institute for patient care and academic pursuit in the frontier area of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences. The Lunatic Asylum which came into being in the latter part of the 19th Century was renamed as Mental Hospital in 1925 by the erstwhile Government of Mysore. This hospital and All India Institute of Mental Health established in 1954 by Government of India were amalgamated on 27th December 1974, and thus was formed the autonomous National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS). The priority gradient adopted at the Institute is service, manpower development and research. A multidisciplinary integrated approach is the mainstay of this institute, paving the way to translate the results from the bench to the bedside. On November 14, 1994, NIMHANS has been declared a Deemed University by the University Grants Commission, with academic autonomy. The Institute functions under the direction of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka. Several National and International funding organisations provide resources for research.
