Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science
Writing is how I translate 30 years of clinical experience and 30 years of spiritual practice into something you can use. Each book serves a different reader, but all share the same commitment: rigorous science, honest language, and practical wisdom.
BOOK 1: The Principles and Practice of Yoga in Cardiovascular Medicine
Springer Nature | 2022 | Editor-in-Chief | The first medical reference textbook on the subject—a landmark volume with 75 contributors across four continents.
Who This Is For: Cardiologists, cardiac nurses, integrative medicine practitioners, and medical students seeking the clinical evidence behind yoga in cardiovascular care.
What’s Inside:
- Neurophysiology of meditation and cardiac autonomic function
- Clinical evidence in hypertension, arrhythmias, and post-MI recovery
- Specific yoga protocols for cardiac conditions
- Integration with pharmacological and device therapy
- Teaching frameworks for clinical settings
BOOK 2: Yoga for Cardiovascular Disease and Rehabilitation
Leading clinical text on integrating yoga into cardiology practice.
Who This Is For: Practicing cardiologists, cardiac rehabilitation specialists, and yoga instructors working with cardiac patients.
What’s Inside:
- Evidence-based yoga protocols for specific cardiac conditions
- How to screen patients and assess readiness

BOOK 3: Weight Loss for Seniors
The Science-Backed Framework for Reclaiming Your Health and Metabolism
Who This Is For: Anyone over 40 struggling with excess weight, high blood pressure, blood sugar swings, and the fear of heart disease.
Why This Book Matters: A slowing metabolism after 40 is not inevitable. Weight regain on restrictive diets is not a personal failure. And expensive weight-loss drugs are not your only option. This book offers a different framework—one that addresses root causes, respects how your body has changed, and gives you a system you can sustain for life.
What’s Inside:
- Why diets fail, and how metabolism actually works after 40
- The role of blood sugar, insulin resistance, and metabolic inflammation
- Practical eating strategies (without calorie counting or deprivation)
- Sleep, stress, and movement in sustainable weight loss
- How to prevent heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic complications
– Get the essentials in a 20-page summary.

The Science-Backed
Framework for Reclaiming Your Health and Metabolism
Struggling with EXCESS WEIGHT after 40 is about more than the numbers on the scale. It's the exhaustion of managing fluctuating blood sugar, high blood pressure, and the fear of heart attacks and strokes. Restrictive diets fail, and weight loss drugs offer only a temporary fix unless taken for life, a path with serious long-term consequences. Furthermore, a slowing metabolism is not an inevitable part of aging; it's a biological signal that your body needs a scientifically sound system to heal. Weight Loss for Seniors is your evidence-based guide to sustainable health and vitality. Written by Dr. Indranill Basu-Ray, a world-famous cardiologist and pioneering medical researcher, this book bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and rigorous clinical science.
