1 Delicious Probiotics: an ancient SVA recipe for our modern daily
1 Delicious Probiotics: an ancient SVA recipe for our modern daily needs The importance of yogurt as a primary source of probiotic support is an ancient fact, as ancient as the science of ayurveda. Modern findings about friendly bacteria coincide with the time‐old ayurvedic explanations and recommendations. Both agree about the necessity of consuming yogurt in your daily diet for overall balance and health: friendly bacteria populate our intestines playing a key role in the absorption of nutrition and minerals, yogurt ensures that the intestinal environment benefits the growth and multiplication of friendly bacteria. Contemporary science now confirms that the overall health and longevity of the body depends on the health and intelligence of the intestinal tract. In Vaidya Mishra’s Shakavansiya lineage, his father Vaidya Kameshwar Mishra referred to these friendly bacteria as “yogini”‐s, feminine micro‐organisms that help “bind” the nutrients, they process them by ingesting them and pass them onto the body to be absorbed. What is the role of these yoginis according to the SVA lineage? 1. They absorb the vibrational material of foods and drinks (soma agni and marut), giving it their own pranic energy to so the minerals and nutrients can be delivered to the body. 2. These yoginis are skilled a recognizing whether or not the nutrients have “pranic intelligence” (how lively they are) or not. That is how they move to accept or reject their nutrients. That’s why minerals coming from dead rocks do not get absorbed or used up totally and are discarded through the urinary tract or other pathways. 3. Scientific research now indicates that minerals that come from vegetables have more bio‐ availability than those that issue from rocks. Here is a delicious recipe, in three distinct variations adapted to your particular body’s tendencies. Choose the one that suits you best for best results. Three general body type categories based on kostha (bowel tendency) 1) Mridu kostha: soft bowel tendency 2) Madhyam kostha: medium bowel (neither constipated nor loose bowel) 3) Kroor kostha: hard bowel tendency ‐ constipated The information found herein is only for educational purposes.

So this recipe will help to enhance absorption and generate a better environment to help the friendly bacteria thrive. Ingredients: 2 oz fresh preferably home‐made (not sour) yogurt. Best if you can make your own yogurt with organic milk with culture from Pavel yogurt or any other balanced culture. Cumin seeds: 1 tsp (toasted and crushed) Soma salt: ¼ tsp Mum’s masala: ¼ tsp Water: 8oz Ghee *Papadam: 1 papad waifer broken roughly into 8 pieces Melt the ghee and add cumin seeds with the soma salt and papad pieces. Toast altogether for 5 minutes on medium heat then add Mum’s Masala and toast for 5 more minutes. Then add cool (room temperature) water and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. After it cools down to room temperature add yogurt and mix it in. Your tasty and healthy probiotic is ready! NOTE : In general we advise not to eat yogurt at night but this recipe can be consumed with your dinner in the evenings. Recipe for Madhya kostha: People with this tendency have bowels almost in balance but if they carry an accumulation of toxins in the liver or their colon pH is low, their friendly bacteria gets in trouble too. So this recipe can help. Yogurt: same as previous Mum’s masala ¼ tsp Curry leaf: 4 leaves Fresh ginger: 2 thin slices Green thai chilies (optional) – 1 piece Plain papadam (made with mung flour) 1piece broken into 8 pieces or so Soma salt ¼ tsp Ghee ½ tsp Water 6oz Method: Melt the ghee and toast the fresh ginger and the thai green chili, add the soma salt and curry leaf in medium heat for 5 minutes.

Cool the mixture down to room temperature then add yogurt, mix in, and serve. Recipe for Kroor koshta pro‐biotic Yogurt – 4oz Papadam – 1 mung +1 with blackpepper broken into 8 pieces each Curry leaves – 8 Soma salt ½ tsp Mum’s masala ½ tsp Fresh ginger 2 thin slices Ghee 1 tsp Water 6oz Method: Toast the curry leaves, soma salt, ginger, in ghee for 5 minutes on medium heat then add the papadams and Mum’s Masala. Toast for 5 more minutes. Then add the water and cook for 5 more minutes. Cool down to room temperature, add yogurt, mix in and serve. *What is a papadam? Papadam wafers are made of a mix of different lentils (primarily mung) and are generally called “papad” in hindi. The brand Vaidya Mishra prefers is called LIJJAT available from Indian grocery stores. It is a traditional “crunchy” digestive accompaniment to meals. Indians traditionally eat it toasted over a flame or fried in ghee. Adding papadams to yogurt balances the clogging quality of yogurt and makes it a healthy treat that can be consumed any time of the day or even during colder weather: • The papads take away the clogging quality of the yogurt (even though a healthy food, yogurt has a heavy moist clogging quality that is not always desirable for all body types and is therefore not recommended to be consumed at all times of the day in all seasons). The papad balances that quality out bringing in some agni and marut to the mix – so it can be consumed at lunch in cold weather as well as dinner • Papads make the yogurt mix tastier • The papad‐yogurt mix enhances the effect of the live bacteria with the support of the channel‐opening and agni‐enhancing spice mix, giving an excellent environment for the friendly bacteria to thrive in the colon.
