In Charaka Sharira it is mentioned that the elaboration of Sharira (body) and its parts are studied properly to know more about human anatomy. Each individual has a different body type as compared to other individuals. As we know how Prakriti describes special characteristic of an individual like Vataja Prakriti- dry body, Pitaja Prakriti – oily body and Raktvardhaka Tvaka, Kaphja Prakriti – full of strength and soft and smooth body. The structure of body reveals much about the diagnosis in case of a disease and patient’s history as said in Samhita about Dashvidha Pariksha. It accomplishes structural view as Darshana Pariksha. In the same manner if physical health shows health status, then mental health and mind level are also revealed by Akriti or physical appearance of an individual. Through this article, I have made an attempt to evaluate any connection that links Agarkhumbha / frontal eminence with individual’s IQ level. As an old famous proverb says “You don’t see the brain on one’s forehead’ (Chinese proverb). But we can judge the intelligence the individual possesses by seeing his frontal eminence.

A sport is an emotional experience. Studies have shown that high emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with better sports performance, though different aspects of sports experience and their relationship with EI are still unclear. This study examined the possible relationships between sports experience and EI dimensions of athletes. Comparisons between groups were performed using Mann–Whitney-U and H-Kruskal–Wallis tests and correlations between variables were analyzed using Spearman correlation. We found that the number of different sports practiced and the number of years practicing sports were positively associated with emotional intelligence (EI).Our study suggested that athletes tend to attend to and value their feelings and use positive thinking to repair their negative moods.
