Americans call "Thoppukkaranam" - Super Brain Yoga!

http://hemanththiru.blogspot.com We've historically been bad at branding, and always looked down at our own traditions and jaw-dropped at foreigners'. Now, thoppukkaranam is called "Superbrain Yoga", and soon they may claim it their own. Soon our successive generations might buy books on this "American Superbrain exercise" at a premium.
Time to wake up. At least now.

In India that's how we are (were) punished in the school..also this is done as a ritual in front of the Hindu God Ganesha (God of knowledge). Sadly. these things are fading away....

Our punishments are Yoga therapy!!! WOW,. now i want to go back to school.

I wonder why don't teachers tell them. for me when i was studying punishment was a bad thing. but if i had know that its a therapy i would have followed by myself everyday.

Awesome INDIA, what we have told to do always has a perfect reason.

I Love my country and its culture.

GREAT ideas born in India' are REJECTED out-right. i know i 2 will have to prove mine in the GREAT US 1st; it takes Visionaries to See the Worth in things but Greater Visionaries in LARGE Numbers to have a HEART LARGE enough to feel & see the worth in what the SINGLE MAN tried to Show; DON’T Blame them for scientifically proving the worth of our Practise, LEARN to SEE the WORTH at an EARLY stage. If monkeys don’t like DIAMONDS & a MAN takes credit for polishing DON’T BLAME the MAN.

I guess the next things that would be copied is 'angapradakshanam' which we do at Tirupati by rolling over the temple floor in circumambulation. The point to note is, whereas we Indians just claim the benefit of ancient practices , the Americans score by 'proving' it. The same was true of 'Pranayam' which we Indians were actually ashamed of doing in public, till the Americans proved its benefits. Same goes with yoga. I think it is time Indians begin to prove what we claim - Ramaswamy

Dear American friends, In India we are practising the same system in front of our Lord Ganesha daily. This is from thousands of years we are following. and dont try to give another name super brain yoga and to take as your new discovery. Any thing in the world including Aeroplane, Atomatic power, every thing found from Vedas in which it is clearly specified with full details.

[balabujji]

Stop copying India, u losers! just another method to commercialize what we do in India and make millions of dollars.

@kpkm85 lol, true

[balabujji]

@rravi89 They just want to patent everything that we do in India for thousands of years, just like British sold clothes made in india to indians from the cotton produced in india and there were idiots who would even buy it.

[rravi89]

Now Americans will take credit for what has been practised for centuries in India. We need to educate the Americans first.

Is it what we do at vinayaka chaviti?...Lord Ganesha knew at already!...he alreday patented it
