Have you heard about “Thoppu karanam” in tamil nadu and “Kaan Dhand” in hindi. This is the 60 second program to balance the energies. Here one is asked to hold the ear lobes with alternate hands (right hand should hold left ear lobe and vice versa) and then do squats. (sit down and get up). This is a very simple and effective technique to clean the chakras and balance the energies. If it is done properly as per procedure (see links for the correct procedure to do this) then the energies in the lower chakras move up and vice versa, balancing the chakral system.
Have you heard about “Thoppu karanam” in tamil nadu and “Kaan Dhand” in hindi. This is the 60 second program to balance the energies.

This is a very simple and effective technique to clean the chakras and balance the energies. If it is done properly as per procedure (see links for the correct procedure to do this) then the energies in the lower chakras move up and vice versa, balancing the chakral system.
Now let’s understand the history of this Kaan Dhand as per Hindu scriptures. It is said that Lord Vishnu once was visiting Kailash, the adobe of Lord Shiva and on the way he sees Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha, who is a kid then, takes Vishnu’s chakra (one of the weapons of Lord Vishnu) and swallows it. Lord Vishnu requests Lord Ganesha to return the Chakra but Lord Ganesha refuses to do so.
Lord Vishnu tries every trick in the book and finally performs the first “Thoppu karanam” or “Kaan Dhand” in front of Ganesha. Lord Ganesha who is a kid then laughs uncontrollably on seeing this funny squatting by Lord Vishnu. When he laughs uncontrollably the chakra which is swallowed by Ganesha comes out of his mouth and falls out. Lord Vishnu takes it and walks away. It’s a Sanskrit term called “Dhorbihi Karanha”. Karan – means ears.
Now look at some of the parallels to this story and the actual science. Lord Ganesha is always represented as the Lord in Muladhara Chakra…. Auviyaar’s Vinayagar Agaval in Tamil says ”Mooladharathu moondezhu Kanalai Kaalaal Ezhuppum Karuthu arivithu”… When the ‘Thoppu Karanam” is done properly it activates muladhara chakra and this energy from basic chakra has one way to move and that is upwards.
What is ever astonishing is the fact that most of the Hindu rituals are a sublimed and well blended action of spiritual development and yogic science with a practical application for common man. The sad part of this is that most of us don’t understand the reason behind the rituals and most of them are labeled as superstitious
How has this ritual / funny practice come back to light and is a topic of discussion now? A noble soul, Maste Choa Kuk Sui, a Chinese Philippino understood the secrets of Yogic science and tried to explain the benefits to the larger public. As you can imagine this was ignored since it was given free of cost. Then he branded this as “Super Brain Yoga” and charged about $12-15 per session to teach this and Yo!, there are many takers.

Google about Super brain Yoga and you will get some You tube videos also where they have discovered that this simple exercise / ritual also mitigates issues of Autism, memory loss etc.
