| Abstract: | The purpose of the present research was to see the effect of yoga nidra on qualitative transformation in personality of youngsters. The study was conducted on two separate samples of 86 boys and 102 girls reading in Intermediate classes in the two constituent colleges of T. M. Bhagalpur University at Munger. The subjects belonged to the age range of 15-18 years. One hour of yoga nidra classes were given to the Experimental Groups continuously for a period of one month while no such practice was given to the Control Groups. The Tridimensional Inventory was administered in pre-post condition to measure the level of sattva, rajas and tamas gunas. Comparison of pre-post yoga nidra period on the selected test indicated that the practice of yoga nidra substantially increased the level of sattva guna and significantly decreased the level of rajas and tamas gunas in the practicing female subjects in comparison to their Control Group. Among the male subjects substantial increase in sattva guna has been found but the decrease in the level of rajas and tamas gunas has not been found significant. |
