In the southern part of India, people pay their obeisance to Lord Ganesha, by performing “Thoppukarnam” (a Tamil Word). Unfortunately, no extensive scientific research is being carried out to find out the purpose of many of our Hindu rituals. Grand Master Choha kok kui, the founder of the concept of Pranic Healing did repackage the ritual of “Thoppukarnam” in to “Super Brain Yoga”. Today the western world has adopted the super brain yoga as a technique for energizing the brain. Now it has the endorsement of a school of Medicine of Yale University, USA> This article brings out how that a number of our Hindu religious practices have a scientific background and extensive research will rediscover out traditions.
