The SOM research project aims to determine whether the subjectively experienced benefits can be objectively substantiated by measurable data points. This could help further disseminate the positive implications of the SOM program and make it accessible to a larger number of people with positive social impact.
Jnana Prabodhini's Institute of Psychology in Pune, India, in collaboration with the German Institute for Holistic Healing (Santulan Veda), has investigated the effects of the SOM program on various psychological aspects such as mental and emotional well-being, quality of life, and resilience. In addition, medical specialists will examine the effects on physiological parameters such as blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate, respiration, blood sugar, and others.
The SOM program was developed by renowned spiritual master and Ayurveda expert Dr. Balaji Tambe (Padmashree) as a series of daily practices. It aims to promote excellent physical health and reduce mental stress, as well as to facilitate spiritual progress through a process of "communication with the self." It includes mantras or positive self-affirmations, flame gazing, Santulan Kriya Yoga, mudras (specific hand and finger postures), relaxation with music, and yoga nidra (a specific deep sleep technique). The program was developed over a period of 40 years and has been practiced in its current form as the SOM program for 10 years.
The entire SOM program is described in detail in the book "Communication with the Self – The SOM Program" by Shreeguru Dr. Balaji Tambe. The book has also been translated into German under the title "OM – The Prime Language of the Soul," and has already sold over a thousand copies. The SOM program is practiced by a large number of people worldwide, many of whom have provided extremely positive and diverse feedback about the benefits they have experienced.
