JMA invites experts from top raking institutions which include Banasthali Vidyapith, BITS and Oxford University Press India to conduct various Teacher Quality Enhancement Workshops. To mark International Day of Yoga, JMA Pilani invited Prof BR Natarajan from Banasthali to conduct a session on Anger Management on 21 June 2022.

Prof Natarajan started his session with Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 63 which essentially says "Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined." Some form and level of Anger exists in all individuals, every household, every vehicle driver. Anger has been the focus of Bollywood films like Albert Pinto ko Gussa Kyon aata hai (1980) and Hollywood hits like Anger Management (2003) starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. Anger prevails at school level as well as at university level.

After defining anger, the discussion focused on how anger changes the way of thinking, positive side of anger, gender issues in anger, angry behavior by toddlers, mental health, school level anger involving students and teachers, anger management strategies for the class room, recommendations for teachers and parents. Prof Natarajan also administered a psychometric test for anger management and gave the scores of various teachers. Considering that 21 June is International Yoga day, the Banasthali professor highlighted that Balasana (Child's pose), Matsyasana (Fish pose), Sukhasana (Easy pose), Sarvangasana (Shoulder stand pose), and Savasana (corpse pose) are highly recommended yogic postures for effective anger management.

Since 21 June also coincided with World Music Day Fete de la Musique, Prof Natarajan pointed out that to control anger and bring down violence within oneself; music can play a significant role. In this context, Carnatic ragas like Punnagavarali, Sahana and so on, come handy. Raga Darbari (Darbari Kanada) composed by Tansen is considered very effective in easing tension. Raga Bhupali and Todi (Bhairavi) also give tremendous relief to patients of high blood pressure. English teacher Ms Sarita Bhatnagar shared her thoughts on anger management.

Chemistry teacher Ms Chitralekha sang the title song of Satyam Shivam Sundaram based on Darbari raga to entertain the audience. Ms Aruna Sharma also sang a song to mark music day. Commerce teacher Ms Kavita Tiwari proposed vote of thanks. Principal Mrs Booma Natarajan and Hindi teacher Ms Sushma Sharma presented a glittering memento to the Banasthali Professor as a token of honour for conducting the session. Teaching students how to deal with anger, and coping with their peers, isn't often in the typical curriculum, but it is one of the things that is essential to a positive classroom environment.
