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
Prathibha- April -June 2015 Page 8888 of 24
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.
Prathibha- April -June 2015 Page 9999 of 24
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
Prathibha- April -June 2015 Page 11111111 of 24
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.

Environmental Aspects
The organization shall establish and
maintain (a) procedure(s) to identify the
environmental aspects of its activities, products or services that it can control and
over which it can be expected to have
influence, in order to determine those
which have or can have significant impacts
on the environment. The organization shall insure that the aspects related to these
significant impacts are considered in
setting its environmental objectives.
Process for Identifying/Evaluating Environmental Aspects
ISO 14001: Implementation
• Develop organizational capabilities and support mechanisms that provide:
o personnel, technology, and financial resources
o training on EMS policy, aspects and impacts, etc..
o procedures for external and internal communication
o document control o operational controls o emergency preparedness and
response
ISO 14001 Monitoring and
Measurement
• Develop and maintain procedures to regularly monitor and measure
performance against objectives and
targets
• Maintain and document program for calibrating monitoring equipment
Prathibha- April -June 2015 Page 14141414 of 24
• Identify and investigate non-conformance and implement
corrective and preventative action • Establish and maintain program to
conduct periodic internal audits
Corrective and Preventative Action
• Environmental Incident Corrective
and Preventative Action
Environmental incidents includes
emission exceedances, chemical
spills, any audit findings. All
environmental incidents require full
evaluation of root cause, initial
response, and identification and
implementation of corrective and/or
preventative action.
Potential Benefits of ISO 14001
• Provide a Framework for Management of Environmental Affairs
• Demonstrate Commitment to Environmental Protection (to Public,
Regulatory Agencies, Etc.)
• Help Ensure Continuous Improvement • As a Condition of Some
Customer/supplier Transactions
• As a Factor in Alternative Regulatory Programs
• As a Condition of Business Loans • Lower Insurance Premiums

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.

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.
