Addiction to drugs, alcohol, smoking, mobile phones and video games has become a matter of serious concern among youth in India and across the world. “In astrology the position of the planets Rahu and Shani play an important role in giving a person addiction and meditation has been found very useful in reducing the intensity of addiction through breathing techniques, among other measures. It calms the mind, so a particular addiction gradually fades away based on meditative breathing techniques, says Dr. Rahul Singh, founder of Your Astro Speak.

Therefore, it means that meditation will train your brain to be happy and feel naturally beautiful. In a study of prisoners, Bowen et al (2006), found a significant decline in the drinking habits of prison inmates after practicing meditation for a specific period of time. There are many studies which establish a strong basis for adopting meditation as one of our value systems for cultivating a peaceful, happy and prosperous family, society and nation.
