The purpose of the random group experimental study was to find out the effect of Yogic Practices with mantra chanting on Cortisol and Study Skills among Urban School boys suffering with Dyslexia. For the purpose of the study, 30 Urban School boys suffering with Dyslexia were selected randomly using random sampling method from Chennai between the age group of 8 and 12 years and they were divided into two groups I, and II with 15 subjects each. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences among the Urban School boys suffering with Dyslexia on selected hormonal and psychological variables such as Cortisol and Study Skills than the control group. Preliminary test was conducted for two Groups on Cortisol and Study Skills before the start of the training program. Group I subjects were given Yogic practices with mantra chanting for 60 minutes, six days a week for a total period of eight weeks. Group II (Control Group) were in active rest. After the experimental period, the two groups were retested again on the same selected dependent variables. Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. The test of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study proved that the Experimental Group showed significant differences on selected hormonal and psychological variables such as Cortisol (decreased) and Study Skills (improved) than the Control Group due to Yogic practices among Urban School boys suffering with Dyslexia. The hypothesis was accepted at 0.05 level of confidence. Hence it is concluded that Yogic practices are beneficial to the Urban School boys suffering with Dyslexia to control Cortisol and to promote Study skills.
