Development and Testing the Effectiveness of an Online Yoga Psychology–Based Mental Health Promotion Intervention for Adults
Patañjali’s Ashtanga Yoga encompasses more than physical postures (āsana), incorporating a robust psychological framework designed to enhance mental well-being.

Evaluation of a Positive Psychological Intervention to Reduce Work Stress among Rural Community Health Workers in India
Efforts to reduce work stress among frontline health workers in India, namely the rural Accredited Social Health Activists or ‘ASHAs’ (resident women, lay health workers) have predominantly emphasized on ‘extrinsic’ variables (e.g., financial incentives, or enhanced supervision), with little consideration of ‘intrinsic’ factors like the wellbeing of ASHAs themselves or building their abilities in managing work stress. ‘Character-strengths’ based …

Lay Meanings and Associated Experiences of Nonattachment (Anasakti)
Anasakti , translated as “nonattachment” in English, is one of the important philosophical concepts of Hinduism and Buddhism. It has also been studied in contemporary psychology using various measures of anasakti. However, there is a dearth of studies that have qualitatively investigated anasakti from the lay or “folk” perspective. This mixed-method study aimed to uncover subjective meanings and personal belief systems related to anasakti, as wel…
What Do Preschool Children in India Understand About Death
