      abstract = {This paper explores the intricate relationship between cosmic frequencies, traditional Indian astrology (Panchangam), and human physiological patterns, specifically through Swara Yoga and the Tamil yogic text, Thirumandhiram. Indian spiritual traditions define the human being holistically, viewing physical, mental, and spiritual health as an inseparable continuum rather than isolated symptomatic phenomena. By examining the five elements of time calculation (Tithi, Vaara, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana) alongside specific auspicious and inauspicious yogas (Siddha, Amrita, and Marana), this study highlights how macrocosmic planetary dominance directly influences microcosmic human biology, notably daily breathing patterns (Swara) at dawn. Furthermore, it integrates Sage Thirumoolar’s principles on vitality (Veeriyam) and disease etiology. The findings suggest that aligning daily actions with these cosmic rhythms, as echoed in the Bhagavad Gita and modern educational frameworks like NEP 2020, provides a comprehensive method for achieving holistic health, spiritual liberation (Moksha), and universal well-being.},
