Abstract

A nation's development and prosperity goes hand in hand with its capacity to generate renewable sources of energy through power generation, which is crucial to balance the depleting natural resources. However, regions with Nuclear Atomic Power Station (NAPS) are often perceived to be infiltrated with toxic emissions percolating in their water reservoirs and atmosphere, which may be detrimental for all life forms in the vicinity. A botanical trip was conducted to NAPS at Narora (Figure 1) while carrying out survey and plant collection of the Upper Ganga Ramsar Site in Uttar Pradesh, India. This riverine Ramsar Site extends along 85 km stretch of the River Ganga beginning at Brij Ghat in Ghaziabad district and ending at Narora in Bulandshahr district, passing through the Budaun and Moradabad districts.

Abstract

Meditation is an act of relaxation, where an individual focuses on one's mind while sitting silently for a brief period of time. It involves giving full attention to a particular object at a time. Rajyoga is a form of meditation, which is used for holistic healing. The aim of the present paper was to examine well-being among Rajyoga meditators and non-meditators. The data was collected from 60 (30 Raj Yoga meditators & 30 Non-meditators) from Jammu region in the age group of 30-60yrs. PGI General Well-being Scale (Verma & Verma, 1989) was used for data collection. The results showed significant difference between the well-being of Rajyoga meditators and non-meditators. The wellbeing of Rajyoga meditators is better than that of non-meditators. The results further reported higher well-being levels among female Rajyoga meditators than male meditators.
