Objectives: The aim of the present study was to understand the agronomic impact of pranic agriculture on tomato. Methods: Assessment of pranic treated tomatoes against the control group were done for their quality and quantity by measuring the overall yield, plant height, diameter of the stem, flowers, flowers per truss and also shelf life of tomatoes. Findings: Increase in height of 18.5% was noticed in pranic group plants as compared to control group. Also, pranic group plants had 12% more stem diameter than control group. Additionally, pranic group plants had 31.7% more flowers per plant when compared to control. When group-wise yield was verified, Pranic group yielded significantly with 31% more than control group. In addition, pranic treatment played a very useful role in controlling the fruit weight loss, shrinkage, titrable acidity and total soluble solids content of tomatoes during storage at room and refrigerated temperatures. Applications: Pranic agriculture impacted the quality, quantity and shelf life aspects of tomatoes, when compared to control.Keywords

Setting and Design: The study involves 1,945 school students from Mysore district, India. SBY was practiced by the students for a period of three months thought by their teachers. Method: Responses with a questionnaire from the students and their teacher were collected and examined. The questionnaire was on health, relationship with their family and friends, time consciousness, communication skills and activeness of students.
Statistical Analysis: The data collected were analyzed with Chi-square test and contingency coefficient analysis.
Results: Responses of the students were analyzed and they reported that their health has often improved by 78%, sometimes improved (16.3%) and rarely improved (5.6%). Similarly, responses in the relationship with family and friends were found to be drastically improved (81.3%), moderately improved (14.6%) and hardly improved (4.1%).

The subtle energy or Prana is essential for keeping our body healthy and alive. This article aims at analyzing the existence of subtle energy and the development of people’s perception of this concept across different cultures. The review is made on understanding the influence of this vital energy on people’s lives, health, spirituality, customs, and traditions. This article has reviewed, how the eastern and western cultures seemed to differ and are also alike in interpreting and utilizing the benefit of vital force. It also has addressed the need for perceiving vital force to get the desired outcome in one’s wellbeing. It can be summarised that the concepts of subtle energy may be innate, widespread, and in general, proved to be a pathway for reaching into the spiritual realm. Despite varying in the schematic illustration of the subtle energy from distinct cultures, however, the different perceptions and understandings have a common rationale on its application. Further theoretical and experimental research is essential for the scientific establishment of this area of implication.Keywords
