doesn't meet WP:BIO, books appear to be self-published (e.g. "Publish America"), and user Drdln (talk · contribs) appears to have been spamming article reference sections as well. A Ramachandran 01:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The above remarks about "self-publishing and non-notable unverified" are unfair and false. The publishing houses can be verified that these pay royalities and the books are not self-published. Google search on "sukhraj dhillon" will bring over 600 references many of them showing various publications. The modified text below may clear some misunderstanding. Thanks.

For many of us yoga, prana, Sudarshan Kriya, meditation is something for which we go to some remote corner in Himalayas or some ashram in India and expect miracles. These ancient techniques are finally explained by someone who has studied science in the West at Yale University, and his books on Eastern and Western Approach has been accepted by major publishing houses. Dr. Sukhraj S. Dhillon is the author, for example, of practical guide that combines various stress treatment approaches that has been recognized for centuries by faith healers and meditators, and are now accepted by modern medical practitioners. The first Indian-American non-fiction author known to combine Ancient Eastern Wisdom and modern Western Scientific knowledge. What is called “Sudarshan Kriya” by new age gurus is a cycle of breaths—long, medium and short. Not only breathing patterns influence our emotions, the breath is in the present and is used to "rope in the wandering mind" that oscillates wildly between the past and the future. Like Zen masters who teach that the present moment is a chink opening into eternity.
