IMPORTANCE OF YOGA

- Compiled By

Sri R. VENKATA CHARI, Sr. Lecturer (C&W)/STC/SC

What is Yoga?

Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline

based on an extremely subtle science which focuses on bringing harmony

between mind and body. It is an art and

science for healthy living. The word

"Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root

meaning "to join", "to yoke" or "to unite". According to Yogic scriptures, the practice

of Yoga leads to the union of individual

consciousness with universal

consciousness. According to modern

scientists, everything in the universe is just a manifestation of the same quantum

firmament. One who experiences this

oneness of existence is said to be "in

Yoga" and is termed as a yogi who has

attained a state of freedom, referred to as mukti, nirvāna, kaivalya moksha.

"Yoga" also refers to an inner science

comprising of a variety of methods

through which human beings can achieve

union between the body and mind to attain self-realisation. The aim of Yoga practice

(sādhana) is to overcome all kinds of sufferings that lead to a sense of freedom

in every walk of life with holistic health,

happiness and harmony.

The Fundamentals of Yoga

Yoga works on the level of one's body,

mind, emotion and energy. This has given

rise to four broad classifications of Yoga:

where Karma Yoga we utilise the body; where we utilise the mind; Jnāna Yoga, Bhakti Yoga where we utilise the emotion

and Kriya Yoga where we utilise the

energy. Each system of Yoga we practice

falls within the gamut of one or more of these categories.

Every individual is a unique combination

of these four factors. Only a guru (teacher)

can advocate the appropriate combination

of the four fundamental paths as is

necessary for each seeker. "All ancient commentaries on Yoga have stressed that

it is essential to work under the direction

of a guru."

Yogic practices for health and wellness

The widely practiced Yoga are: sadhanas Yama, Niyama, Āsana, Prānāyāma, Pratyāhara, Dhārana, Dhyāna, Samādhi, Bandhas and Mudras, Shatkarmas,

Yuktāhāra, Mantra-japa, Yukta-karmaetc.

Yamas Niyamas are restraints and are observances. These are considered to be

pre-requisites for further Yogic practices.

Āsanas, capable of bringing about stability of body and mind, "kuryat-tadasanam-

sthairyam", involve adopting various psycho-physical body patterns and giving

one an ability to maintain a body position

(a stable awareness of one's structural

existence) for a considerable length of

time. Prānāyāma consists of developing awareness of one's breathing followed by

willful regulation of respiration as the

functional or vital basis of one's existence.

It helps in developing awareness of one's

mind and helps to establish control over the mind. In the initial stages, this is done

by developing awareness of the "flow of

in-breath and out-breath" (svāsa-prasvāsa ) through nostrils, mouth and other body

openings, its internal and external pathways and destinations.

Pratyāhara indicates dissociation of one's consciousness (withdrawal) from the sense

organs which connect with the external

objects. indicates broad based field of attention (inside the Dhārana body and mind) which is usually understood as

concentration. Dhyāna (meditation) is contemplation (focussed attention inside

the body and mind) and (integration).

Samādhi Bandhas Mudras Prānāyāma and are practices associated with . They are

viewed as the higher yogic practices that

mainly adopt certain physical gestures

along with control over respiration. This


further facilitates control over mind and

paves way for higher Yogic attainment.

However, practice of which moves one towards dhyāna, self-realisation and leads one to transcendence, is cons idered the

essence of Yoga Sādhana Śa karmas ṭ are detoxification procedures that are clinical

in nature and help to remove the toxins accumulated in the body. Yuktāhāra advocates appropriate food and food habits

for healthy living.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR YOGA PRACTICE

A Yoga practitioner should follow the

guiding principles given below while

performing Yogic practices:

Before The Practice

Śauca means cleanliness - an important prerequisite for Yogic

practice.

It includes cleanliness of surroundings, body and mind.

Yogic practice should be performed in a calm and quiet atmosphere with a

relaxed body and mind.

Yogic practice should be done on an empty stomach or light stomach.

Consume small amount of honey in

lukewarm water if you feel weak.

Bladder and bowels should be empty before starting Yogic practices. A mattress, Yoga mat or folded blanket

should be, durrie used for the practice.

Light and comfortable cotton clothes are preferred to facilitate easy

movement of the body. Yoga should not be performed in state

of exhaustion, illness, in a hurry or in

acute stress conditions.

In case of chronic disease/ pain/ cardiac problems, a physician or a Yoga therapist should be consulted

prior to performing Yogic practices.

Yoga experts should be consulted before doing Yogic practices during

pregnancy and menstruation.

During The Practice

Practice sessions should start with a prayer or invocation as it creates a

conducive environment to relax the mind.

Yogic practices shall be performed slowly, in a relaxed manner, with

awareness of the body and breath.

Do not hold the breath unless it is specially mentioned to do so during

the practice.

Breathing should be always through the nostrils unless instructed

otherwise. Do not hold body tightly, or jerk the

body at any point of time.

Perform the practices according to your own capacity.

It takes some time to get good results, so persistent and regular practice is

very essential.

There are contra-indications/ limitations for each Yoga practice and

such contra-indications should always be kept in mind.

Yoga session should end with meditation/ deep silence / Śhantipatha.

After Practice

Bath may be taken only after 20-30 minutes of practice.

Food may be consumed only after 20-30 minutes of practice.

Food For Thought

A few dietary guidelines can ensure that the body and mind are flexible and well-

prepared for practice. A vegetarian diet is

usually recommended, and for a person

over 30 years, two meals a day should

suffice, except in cases of illness or very high physical activity or labour.


How Yoga Can Help?

Yoga is essentially a path to liberation

from all bondage. However, medical research in recent years has uncovered

many physical and mental benefits that

Yoga offers, corroborating the experiences

of millions of practitioners. A small

sampling of research shows that:

Yoga is beneficial for physical fitness, musculoskeletal functioning and

cardio-vascular health.

It is beneficial in the management of diabetes, respiratory disorders, hypertension, hypotension and many

lifestyle related disorders.

Yoga helps to reduce depression, fatigue, anxiety disorders and stress.

Yoga regulates menopausal symptoms. In essence,

Yoga is a process of creating a body and mind that are stepping-stones, not

hurdles, to an exuberant and fulfilling

life.

SANKALPA

End the Yoga Practice Session with a

Sankalpa:

(This article is published on the

occasion of First International Yoga Day

celebrated on 21st June 2015)

**

“I commit, to make myself into a healthy, peaceful, joyful and loving human being. Through every action of mine, I will strive to create a peaceful and loving atmosphere around me. I strive to break the limitations of who I am right now and include the entire world as my own. I recognize the kinship of my own life with every other life. I

recognize the unity of all there is. May All become Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is

Auspicious, May no one Suffer. Om Peace, Peace, Peace”.Peace”.Peace”.Peace”.

VIGILANCE CONTROL DEVICE - Compiled by

Sri M.V SRINIVASA RAO

Sr. Lecturer (Dsl/Elec)/STC/SC

The vigilance control device (VCD) is for

monitoring alertness of the engine crew

through a multi-resetting system which

gets reset by specified normal operational activities of the crew. In the E-type

locomotives VCD feature is obtained by a

distinct micro controller unit and in MEP-

660 fitted locomotives this activity is

programmed as a part of MEP-660’s functioning. Here the functionalities of

vigilance control device in MEP-660 fitted

locomotives are detailed.

VCD Comprises of:

• One VCD alerting lamp provided on each control desk near LED

indication panel.

MVC681 and its accessories

• One VCD reset push button is

provided on the control desk near

master handle.

• VCD disable unit is provided in the

control panel.

• Penalty brake application valve is provided in nose compartment.

Working of VCD: Soon after circuit breakers MB1, MB2,

MPCB, and MCB1 & MCB2 are switched

ON and BCP is less than 2.1Kg/Sq.cm,

VCD alerts the driver once in every 60

seconds through a Blinking LED, if none of the following activities are performed

with in 60 sec.

• Increase/Decrease notch

• Application/Release of A9

• Application/Release of DB

• Change of DB level

• Operation of GF switches

• Change of RH position

• Operation of Horn buttons

• Operation of sander buttons

• Pressing of VCD reset button

Driver has to perform any of the above

loco operations, if driver perform any of

the above activates VCD is reset automatically and it starts checking for any

operations for 60 seconds, if driver does


not perform any of the above, VCD

initiates a warning lamp after 60 seconds.

A message ‘VCD time out press VCD reset is displayed on the MEP-660 display

unit. This indication need to be

acknowledged by the crew by pressing

VCD RESET button provided as shown

above to suppress warning lamp. If the driver does not respond to warning

lamp blinking for a period of 8 seconds in

addition to the vigilance cycle of 60

seconds, the VCD initiates a buzzer along

with warning lamp for a period of 8 seconds, further to these warnings if the

driver fails to respond by pressing VCD

RESET button, the VCD after (60+8+8) 76

seconds applies Penalty brake. VCD stops

the train and a message ‘VCD applied penalty brakes’ is displayed on the screen.

After application of penalty brakes VCD

counter on the MEP-660 display is

increased by one. Buzzer is switched off

with warning lamp continue to blink for further 35sec. Due to penalty application

BP is reduced to 2.8 Kg/Sq.cm resulting in

loco/formation brake application. This

drop in BP further results in engine speed

dropping to idle due to the function of PCS-DMR combination. GF contactor and

power contactors drop out after master

wait till blinking warning lamp is put OFF

and Loco speed reduced to zero, then press

VCD RESET button. handle is brought to idle. To release

penalty brakes bring the throttle to IDLE,

Vigilance activity of the VCD is not

functional in the following cases.

• Loco speed is less than 2Kmph.

• Loco in slave mode.

• SA9- Brake applied.

• If BCP is more than 2.1 Kg./Sq.cm and the loco speed is zero.

VCD functioning in multiple units:

The functioning of VCD in rear

locomotives can be muted by switching OFF MCB1 & MCB2 on both control

stands. In this case the display will come

as ‘VCD in MU’ in the bottom line of the

screen. If not rear locomotive will not

respond to the leading locomotive signals. Handling of VCD malfunctioning:

In case of VCD malfunctioning the driver

is advised to break the ‘VCD ’glass on the

memory freeze cum VCD disable unit and switch ON the VCD disable switch

operator disable VCD ’message is

displayed on the display unit.

BP dropping continuously:

In case of BP leakage at the solenoid valve close the cut out cock of the ‘VCD’

magnet valve. This disables the feature of

applying penalty brakes by VCD in the

train.

INNOVATIONS(LGDS)INNOVATIONS(LGDS)INNOVATIONS(LGDS)INNOVATIONS(LGDS) � Name of Innovation : Pneumatic Balancer for handling roller bearings.

� Name of unit : Carriage Workshop, Lallaguda, Secunderabad. � Date of commissioning : 05.06.15

� Cost of innovation : Rs.4.5 Lakhs � Improvement effected : Mechanized handling of direct mounted roller bearing

during process of assembly on the journal of wheel set.

� Brief description :

While mounting bearings to induction heater and then on to the journal, staff

used to lift these 30/40 kg bearings by bending back which used to cause back

problem as a result of which few were willing to carry out this work. To

reduce the load on the staff a pneumatic balancer was installed with suitable

gripping mechanism to handle the bearings in bearing shop. With this staff will

have to apply negligible effort to lift and handle bearings inside bearing shop.

� Savings effected per month/earnings increased Rs: NIL

� Effectiveness of innovation : User friendly and reduction of fatigue.

MECHATRONICS

- Compiled by Sri K.NAGARATHNAM,

Sr.Lecturer (Dsl.Mech)/STC

The integration of electronic, electrical,

computer with mechanical engineering is

increasing day by day and forming a

crucial part in maintenance, manufacture and design. A consequence of this, is the

need for engineers and technicians to

adopt an inter disciplinary and integrated

approach to engineering .The term

Mechatronics is used to describe this integrated approach.

Mechatronics is a term coined by the

Japanese to describe the integration of

mechanical and electronic engineering. More specifically, it refers to a multi

disciplinary approach to product and

manufacturing system design. It represents

the next generation machines, robots and

smart mechanism, for carrying out work in a variety of environments, predominantly

factory automation, office automation and

home automation.

Consider an automated production line. It

involves a number of production processes

which are all automatically carried out in

the correct way by using electronic control

system. Such control system generally use microprocessors as controllers and have

electrical sensors extracting information

from the mechanical inputs and outputs via

electrical actuators to mechanical system.

Mechatronics brings together areas of technology involving sensors and

measurement system, drive and actuation

system, analysis of the behavior of system,

control system which are responsible for transforming the output of microprocessor

or control system into a controlling action

on a machine or a device .Actuation

systems are pneumatic actuation system

and hydraulic actuation system . .

An electrical output from the controller is

transformed into a linear motion or rotary

motion to move a load. It will be controlled by the amount of liquid or

compressed air passing along a pipe line In

a pneumatic system compressed air is used

which is available freely. Compressed air

is supplied by a compressor driven by an electric motor. Where as in hydraulic

system oil is used which is supplied by

pump, driven by electric motor.

The concept of Mechatronics and the scope of its application in Indian railways

has become more relevant in the present

juncture particularly for increasing

productivity and reliability in view of the

synthesis technological applications used not only conventional mechanical

technology but also the existing

engineering freely for the required

purposes by integrating the available

system concept and interface concepts that are required to merge the varies

technologies for certain desired functions .

Some Railway applications employing Mechatronics are listed below.


Applications in DIESEL locomotives.

1. Working of CCB(Computer Control Brake System).

2. EP Brake system(Electro- Pneumatic Brake system).

3. Microprocessor diesel loco excitation control, transition control.

4. MCBG Governor. 5. Diesel loco air brake system- EPG

Governor, Run & Release Magnet

valve, Air dryers.

6. Radiator fan and Engine ventilation fan in DHMU and DEMU.

Applications in C & W.

1. LHB coaches-CDTS and Brake system.

2. Working of 140 Ton Crane. 3. Working of MFD,LUCAS.

Applications in WORK SHOP

1. Wheel Lathes. 2. Copying Lathes. 3. Hydraulic Presses. 4. Pneumatic Presses. 5. CNC Machines.

Pneumatic SystemPneumatic SystemPneumatic SystemPneumatic System

Compressed air is one of old form of

energy known to man and applied to enhance his physical ability.The term

‘PNEUMA’ is a Greek word which means

Wind or Breath.The pneumatics is the

study of air movement and its application.

The main objective of the pneumatics

application in industries is the conversion

of the physical productive of a process into

Mechanical and Automation operation.

The advantages are Higher Productivity,

Increased rate of production, Better

working environment.

Characteristics of Compressed Air

Amount � Unlimited quantities.

Transport� Pipe lines, over a large distance.

Storable � Reservoir.

Temperature � Insensitive to

temperature.

Cleanness � Does not cause contamination to food.

Explosion proof � No risk of explosion of fire.

Speed � Very fast i.e. 0.1 to 2.0 m/sec.

Speed regulation� Flow control valves.

Speed regulation � Pressure control

valves.

Limitations of compressed air.

Preparation� Dirt, Humidity to be

removed.

Compressible� Not possible to achieve

uniform and constant speed.

Force requirement � At 7 kg/cm2 45000

N force

Exhaust air� Is loud, requires sound absorption material.
