‘’Role of Omkara Chanting in Cardiovascular Diseases with Special Emphasis on Hridroga: A Review‘’

Abstract

India bears one of the highest global burdens of Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVDs), with annual deaths projected to rise from 2.26 million in 1990 to 4.77 million by 2020. Cardiac diseases are correlated with "Hridroga" in Ayurveda, where Hridaya (heart) is revered as one of the sthana (primary abodes) of prana (life force). This ancient wisdom underscores the heart's profound role not only as a physical organ but as the seat of vitality and life essence.
