Laugh and let the world laugh with you
Laugh and let the world laugh with you. “These days, people worry a lot and completely forgot about laughing. Laughing daily for a while helps in better mental stability,” he said.

“These days, people worry a lot and completely forgot about laughing. Laughing daily for a while helps in better mental stability,” he said. ‘Laughter Guru’ Dr Madan shared some exercises with the public of which the foremost was ‘Laughing without a reason’. It is a simple exercise where a person needs to chant ‘HO, HA, HO, HA’ in a group by stretching their hands up and looking at each other.
“The sounds 'HO-HO’ and ‘HA-HA’ are important in a yogic exercise called ‘Kapalbhati’,” Dr Madan explained. He also taught people different types of exercises like Silent Laughter with the mouth wide open; Lion Laugh with the tongue out; Hanuman Laugh-- killing Ravan with a laughter bullet; Talking to God; Ego Blast; Drinking Hot Coffee, etc.
Madan started his first Laughter Yoga club in Mumbai in 1995, with five people in a local public park. Later he spread this concept worldwide which now has more than 5,000 branches in 60 countries. In this, each club has one laughter captain who operates independently.
He had also written a book in 2002 which was titled ‘Laugh for No Reason’. “We are planning to include Laughter Yoga lessons under the CBSE syllabus. In some schools in Bengaluru, we have started special Laughter Yoga classes for children,” concluded Dr Madan.
