This journey of happiness passes through mind, body and soul. There happens to be a momentary pleasure in the stuffs of this world but the moment you become free from desire, you start to attain the state of selflessness and with your focus on almighty you begin to feel the absolute bliss. Majority of people in this world believe that fulfillment of their desire is the ultimate success of life. They consider it as final destination of life. They spend their whole life in chasing small desires, while life is much precious than it. Focus on almighty means getting rid of small desire and this happens to be the biggest success of life or the biggest pleasure of life. We have to be aptakaam from inside but from inside, we are required to be full of absolute purity, purity in intentions, which will be the biggest achievement of life. One who happens to be Atmakaama, he does not have any personal desire and whatever is the message of almighty happens to be his biggest bliss of life. And the role of mentor, guide or teachings of Vedas begin here only. Salvation of life or divine life is to listen your inner-self and act selflessly according to the message of god. I lead my life like this and those who love me are required to live like this. Lets come together and lead such a happy and divine life. This is in fact is the true way of salvation as when there will not be any discrimination on the basis of birth and age then there will not by any scope for pains and the life will become free of Apvarga. Dukhjanmapravrittidoshmithyagyananam uttarotaraapaaye tadantarapayadapavargah I (Nyaydarshan 1/2) The absolute truth invented with great efforts by our ancestors and our great ancient sages and the truth which we attained with great efforts and experiences of 30 years, our Guru passed on to us such a short span of time by displaying great love, affection and compassion. This has to be accepted with absolute honesty like Atmavetta, Brahmavetta sages. Our biggest and basic identity is that we happen to be the descendants of almighty and great ancient sages. We must have influence of almighty and the sages in our life. This will be our greatest pride and the biggest duty. It is like the way parents in this world hand over all their earnings of whole life in a day to their children, the same way the divine souls want to make you rich and see you as an absolute sage and this spiritual asset is selflessness, and have respect for the pure enlightenment which pours into our soul from almighty or Parmatma, and make efforts with purity of knowledge, enlightenment, sensitivity. When almighty is absolutely pure, then his inspiration, the enlightenment which he gives us, pour into us. This is my experience and also of all other sages. Those who are living like this, you must understand that your penance has paid off. Almighty has adopted you and Bhagwat Shakti (the power of almighty) has got activated through you. You will become divine means of almighty. You will be full of absolute enlightenment, absolute love, absolute capabilities, and will be able to execute you divine duties. You will be Atmakama and hence will rise to become divine soul. You will yourself become divine. Oim purnamadah purnamidam purnatmapurnamudachyate I Purnasya purnamadaya purnamevavashishyate II (Upnishad) YOG SANDESH April 2015U 03 Guest editor A call to youth for building a spiritual India and spiritual world n This Brahmachari Bharadwaj, BCA, MCA, software engineer time we have invited Vedic Gurukulam's very talented, wise, sharp minded, labourious and able Brahmachari Bharadwaj, we are sure that you will like his piece. - Editor. I n numerous preachings, we have heard that human life is rarely accessible even to deities. It is true because human life is not confined only to consumption of things available on this earth but it is also meant for hard work, creation, efforts to end pains of life and attainment of bliss in life. We are capable for it since our childhood and its attainment is our final goal. A human cannot have any goal of life other than this. Living life for small goals is in a way insult of our life. Job, wealth, prosperity, own house, good friends, etc are need of our present, they are not goal of life in themselves and considering as the goal of life is a mistake because this way all our efforts will go waste and we lose our health, time and efforts in their pursuit but our desire to get them is never fulfilled. Such a long time of life has been spent in pursuit to fulfill desire for them but no desire could be fulfilled and full satisfaction continued to be a mirage. I contemplated a lot that my life can be wasted in this pursuit and realised that I will have to do something to make my life divine, and to get rid of all these pains of life. I was of the view that I might not get bliss but at least no pain I should incur. I had a crave to make my country, society and myself rid of pains and fortunately, with the grace of almighty, Swami ji made a call to all youth of the country, saying that all those who want to serve the nation by maintaining celibacy, who has a quest to study at Gurukul to make his life divine like a sage, they all are welcome. Listening this, I could not stay at home any longer. Someone has rightly said that if you will move one step towards divinity, almighty will move 10 steps towards you. The only thing which is required is to move at least one step, take an initiative. I had a wish to remain pure, divine and sacred even in penury. When I arrived at Patanjali Ashram, I found its ambience no less than a paradise. All facilities were available there. Since that day, I got engaged in Kriyoga, meditation and started 4 YOG SANDESH April 2015U listening preachings of scholars and in the company of teachers I realised that my heart and mind was becoming pure. I can realise a big change in me in the last one year. My feet are moving towards divinity and now I cannot be misguided. I have found solution to my life's problems. Now I will stop after getting my destination. Here there is a lot of opportunity for Sadhana and serving others. Serving your nation is not a sacrifice but a golden opportunity. Once an elderly person was planting a mango tree. Someone asked him - will be alive to eat the fruit of the tree. Why are you planting this tree? The elderly person replied- all the tree you can see around us was not planted by me but by our forefathers and today we are getting fruits, fresh air from them. It means, character building does not only start with the birth of a child. In fact it begins many years ago. The kind of society we are living in today, it seems quite impossible that any of our kids will be healthy mentally or physically. Once someone asked from British writer and thinker Helan Kelar that what is worst than not being able to see. She replied- overlooking things even after seeing them is worst than not being able to see. This mistake is being committed all around us. We are able to see the flaws in the society but are ignorant to it. Its ill effect will have to be incurred by our next generation. If a child will fall prey to cancer like deadly disease, how will he be able to see his adulthood. If once the problems begin to strike, you don't thing it is the problem of initial stage but in fact it is the beginning of bigger problems. According to Government's statistics, 1/3 population of India is below poverty line. 70 per cent population of India is devoid of the resources for their subsistence. If you search information on African countries, you will be at awe to know that the region has become a huge market of spurious drugs worth rupees thousands of crores. You will find no instruction written on the bottles or packets of these medicines how to use and who to use them. Society is drastically hit by evils like crime, corruption, pornography, inflation, pollution, bad customs, etc. Country's economy, social, political life and decline in people's character have become too fast. It is not a negative thinking and you are well aware of the condition of the society. You know it much better than me. Our insensitivity and cowardness will ruin the country. The society is made of you and me. We will have to change ourselves. Mere launching movements and your participation will do nothing. These activities will bring slight change in the society. Full transformation will be possible only through character building and the country will be great when its citizens do great things, this country is identified by us only. We are required to move on the path of truth because the society which values amenities more than the principles, its decline becomes very fast. Today, this society does not need your cooperation but it needs your direct participation. Improving oneself or improving the condition of the society is not a part time job like you gave just 1-2 hours and your duty is over. You will have to dedicate all your life for this purpose and we have the opportunity, nothing can be greatest fortune for us in the life than this. You do not need to have a desire for changing yourself but you will have to have a resolve for this. Desires can be sold out, they can be weak but resolve is always strong. It is wrong to thing that only change in you will make no difference. Had Swami thought like this, who would have spread yoga and Ayurveda in the world? Had the dream of vedic education and change of power at the Centre been realised? Had this been the thinking of our revolutionaries, freedom of the country would not have been possible. There are numerous such examples. In fact, with change in an individual, a bigger change in the society begins. We are required to change ourselves first, for a bigger change in the society. The society is looking at us with a great hope and expects us to do something. A person who relies on fortune, gets nothing in life, they do not go out of the world after doing something but they leave the world while waiting to do something in their lifetime. On the contrary, who are honest to do something, they leave the world after executing their duties. Separatists too cannot do anything. We can see ourselves believing that we are isolated from rest of the society but it is a wrong perception. We all have our own social and personal problems. Today, spiritualism is being viewed as an separatist idea and it has now become a way to keep oneself aloof from the society. But this perception is also wrong. A spiritual person cannot be aloof from the society. A spiritual person dedicates himself for the sake of the society but he is not dedicated to the world but to the almighty. He is the biggest patriot. A youth is said to be the biggest force of the nation, however, he is becoming the biggest problem for the nation. Today's youth is fast being prey to bad habits like addiction, crime, luxury of life, pornography, unemployment and valentine day. They sometime tend to commit suicide. On the other hand those who are talented and brilliant are joining bureaucracy and becoming subservient to politicians. Many others of them are YOG SANDESH April 2015U 5 Guest editor joining BPOs, Call centres, MNCs and migrating abroad. All this is the result of today's modern education system, which was propagated by Macaulay. It is responsible for degradation of the character of our youth. Their slave mindset served the purpose of our colonial rulers. Most of educated young boys and girls are found to be involved in criminal activities. We are educated but fast losing our character. Why have we lost the purity of our heart. Why are today's young men and women not respectful towards their parents, teachers, country, Vedas, our great ancient scriptures and our great ancient culture, it is a matter of serious concern. Our fundamental educational system is Vedic educational system, which is imparted at Gurukuls and it is based on sacrifice, penance, good conduct, dedication, universalisation, authenticity and secularism. It runs according to the tradition of sages, but is it fast becoming extinct. Here a Brahmachari (the scholar who maintains celibacy) is taught his all round development like physical, mental, intellectual and his mind is filled with truth, love, affection, compassion. No one would have heard that a Brahmachari or a scholar of Gurukul ever commented suicide. His way of life is high and different from all others. He learns the teachings of Vedas, scriptures, and he develop the capability to discriminate between right and wrong. The Vedas and scriptures have praised the high character related values of a student of Gurukul. Even deities and sages too have praised them. For them life become very easy, he becomes full of confidence and has capability to take care of lakhs of other people. His heart is full of piece and stable and he is able to take right decisions and can deliver good results, he can balance himself even in adverse circumstances. He gets everything and gets blessings of deities. All divine forces are with him and there is no degradation in his character. This has been the declaration of Atharva Veda's Brahmacharya sutraBrahmacharishnamshcharati rodasi ubhe tasmindevah samanso bhavanti I Sa dadhar prithivim divam cha sa acharyam tapasa piparti II Friends time for contemplation is over, if your soul is inspired and aroused, then take advantage of the great opportunity provided by almighty. Nothing great can be achieved in life without sacrifice, without big decisions. If you will be able to do something big, 6 YOG SANDESH April 2015U your family, your parents, your society and the nation will feel proud on you. Now you become serious, you have to come here anyhow here, it will be better as much early as you come here. The far you will go the much long journey you will have to travel to come here. If not now, then when will you come? If you will keep yourself away from spiritualism, you will not get salvation. This best institute like Vedic Kulam, Guru and me too are here only but nothing will happen until you move forward. If you want solution then you will have to do efforts and without efforts, it will be like death. Keeping comforts of life away, is like death. Forget comforts of life or pains of life and dedicate yourself selflessly and life for infinity, you will realise the bliss, the independence. We will ourselves be responsible for our pathetic condition. One has to pay for getting ability to stand on his feet, similarly you will have to pay for moving on your knees. What will you do is your decision. The fields we are unaware of, we cannot decide about it ourselves. Yes we can decide about what can we eat, what can we wear, what can we drink. But the path of perseverance, gurukul, etc are the fields we are less aware about them. Therefore we should decide on the basis of teachings of Vedas, teachers, so that your decision could ensure welfare of yourself and all others.

Actually the body is directly connected to our body therefore a disease is born when there is an imbalance in the nature around us. In such a condition, a medicine has to be found out from the nature itself. On the contrary, if we use unnatural chemicals as medicine, then it may not show its adverse impact immediately but in long future, its wrong impact is bound to appear. For eternal wellness, it is necessary that medicines for physical and mental diseases should be found from natural sources. To stop atrocities being committed on our body, the greatest blessing of almighty, in the name of treatment of diseases, Patanjali has conducted an intense research on herbs for treatment of diseases and has also suggested medicines and their quantities for various diseases. On the basis of the conclusion of these researches we present this series of articles under headline- health in herbal medicines. Readers can find detailed information about the findings of these researches in the book- Ayurved Jadi Booti Rahasya, which will help to keep us always healthy. Here we present in this issue, the herb Ivy gourd. According 8 YOG SANDESH April 2015U External form: Its plant has many branches and it is a creeper or climber.

In general our body's normal temperature is 98.4 degree Fahrenheit. According to Ayurveda, disturbance in sweating, rising temperature, pain in joints, etc are symptom of fever. If sweating is low means body temperature will rise, secretion from the glands of liver is if disturbed, the digestive juices become weak, due to blockage in adrenal gland, the person will feel anxiety, which is a symptom of fever. These days, we are witnessing spread of Swine flue across the country. Everyone is in fear. A bit of sneeze makes people afraid of Swine flue. However, instead of being afraid, it is required to understand the nature of the problem, and take proper treatment. For example, a person's normal pulse rate is 72 per minutes while breathe is 18 per minute. If the body temperature goes one degree high, then pulse rate increases by 10 more count per minute. This way, if fever is 100 degree, the pulse rate will be 90 and at 101 degree the pulse rate will be 100. As far as Swine flue is concerned:- According W hen cold monsoon air goes into our nostril, we can be caught by cold or cough problems. But this is not the symptom of Swine flue. Of course, with increase in the proportion of pulse rate, the burden on heart will increase and it will have to do more work. In this common fever, keep the patient in a separate room. Take proper care of sanitation, the patient should be given light meal, which is easy to digest, keep him away from oily, spicy meal. In medicines, take Jwarnashak Vati, Giloy ghan vati.

Initial Ayurvedic treatment: n Giloy and Tulsi leaves, should be taken in equal quantity and make their powder. This powder should be taken by adding two spoon of it in a glass of These days, we are witnessing spread of Swine flue across the country. Everyone is in fear. A bit of sneeze makes people afraid of Swine flue. However, instead of being afraid, it is required to understand the nature of the problem, and take proper treatment. For example, a person's normal pulse rate is 72 per minutes while breathe is 18 per minute. If the body temperature goes one degree higher, then pulse rate increases by 10 more count per minute.

Take 100 gm Neem bark, 100 gm giloy, 50 gm Tulsi, 50 gm Dalchini, 25 gm laung or clove, and make their powder and store it separately. Now boil 5 gm of the powder in 400 ml water and when the water is 100 ml left, administer it to the patient after filtering. Do this 2-3 times a day.

YOG SANDESH April 2015U 19 Special on World Health Day must be aware of the adage of healthy diet healthy life. World Health Day is observed on April 7 every year. This year's World Health Day is very special in itself. Concerns related to food safety will be the prime focus of it. World Health Organisation (WHO) has included the governments, government agencies, private sector and all citizens under its purview. The main goal is to protect people across the world from hazards of the diseases caused due to harmful food. Such diseases include diarrhoea, viral diseases, etc which badly affect the human life and deformities related to fertility is also affected. People are also caught by the diseases like cancer, ebola, dengue, swine flue and many more diseases. It is a target to spread awareness in this regard. You A big initiative to keep the world healthy n Dr Vijay Kumar Mishra Concerns of World Health Organisation: Continuous changes in food production process, anomalies in distribution and consumption system, globalisation of the trade of food stuffs, birth of new viruses due to climatic changes, growing problem of pollution, food adulteration, etc are some of the problems which have put the world in peril. To address these problems, WHO has taken an affirmative initiative by announcing to observe World Health Day across the world. 20 YOG SANDESH April 2015U The organisation is of the view that Food Sector should be given international standard code and should also be given health related proper guideline to life the world out of this problem. But most important thing is to ensure people's participation in this drive so that the guidelines could be followed properly. After all, when the issue is concerned to common people, then success cannot be ensured by mere enacting laws. For good health and protecting people from poisonous food, it is necessary to spread educational awareness, and establish the importance of this issue in the minds of the people. Retailers too are also required to take care of people's health besides focusing on their own profits. In this context, it is also important to take care of cleanliness of the plates in which food is served at pubic places. According to reports, unsafe meal causes over 200 diseases which badly hit the health of new born babies, youth, elderly men and women. Food containing chemicals can cause deadly diseases while at the same time pollution related food contamination results into permanent physical disabilities in the society. Such a big danger has be posed to humans by themselves. According to a WHO report, such dangers are not confined to a reason in this era of globalisation but the whole part of the world comes equally under its threat. For this reason, WHO has issued standard guidelines for both the manufacturers or producers and the consumers which are required serious attention of all. They are- 1. Sanitation, 2. Proper division of cooked and raw food, 3. Safe temperature for cooking food, 4. Availability of clean water and nutritious food has to be ensured. Food safety standard announced by WHO: WHO has issued guidelines for good health of every individual in the world with a view to bring all in the category of healthy citizen. It is expected from the citizens A. To raise question without hesitation on the food served to them B. Be aware about production or manufacturing of food stuffs like keeping them free from toxication due to excrements of animals, use of toxicants free water for irrigation, storage of food stuffs according to standard guidelines. People in the world are required to have a trust that meal served to me is safe. * At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure safety of expecting mothers. It is true that WHO's this initiative to ensure safe food for all is a good step but its success is possible only through participation of all. Every producer, consumer and social organisations should keep making efforts in this direction. Every individual will have to understand the reality that a small flaw with regard to food can make the whole world impaired. Views of modern experts of anatomy: Scientists believe that cells of our body continuously divide and new cells are formed and this way human life moves ahead. If this trend goes on naturally without any hurdle then our heart can be kept healthy for 300 years, kidney for 290 years, skins and bone can be kept healthy for 1000, 1500 and 4000 years respectively. Moreover, they can also be used for their transplantation. This proves that the human health which has got confined to just 60 years can be extended through proper formation of new cells. Our ancient saints had learnt this technique years back. Sage Chyan by Ashwani Kumars and YOG SANDESH April 2015U 21 Special on World Health Day King Yayati regained their young age, which is still a mystery for modern science. This also proves that our body also tries always to grow but our bad food habits and our own bad behaviour help our early death. According to rule, experts of medical science are of the view that when in any living being, toxicants level rises in the body's chemical process, the the process of the death of different body organs becomes very fast. If this process is stopped, then one can become young again even in old age. Dr Walter Cannon says that humans are very closely associated with nature which is why it is necessary to keep them free from toxic ambience. Among these toxic substances in the nature areenvironmental pollution, activeness of radioactive substances, poisonous food stuffs, unhygienic and dirty ambience around us. Dr Edward Board of US Medical Association is of the view that breaching food related norms, excesses, lack of physical labour, irregular life style, addiction of alcohol and narcotics, depression, sensual orientation, lack of sanitation are the causes of short human life which can be extended up to thousands of years. Theory of Ayurveda: Ayurveda is also of similar views that diseases are caused due to our thinking, respiration, food, drinks, wearing, sensual orientation, lack of labour etc. Centres of cells get nutrition from inside the body and it also releases unnecessary and harmful fluids out of the body on its own but when we ourselves start polluting these 22 YOG SANDESH April 2015U centres then toxicants are not released easily out of the body and we fall ill. The whole nervous system of the body is badly disturbed. Experts are of the opinion that the toxicants which should normally be produced in the body in the old age are produced in young age or some times in childhood due to toxic food stuffs and body cells are harmed. Obesity in childhood is the example of the problem caused due to unhealthy and toxic diet in the food. Food related views of Indian sages: Our sages have categorised food in three groups. First is Satwik which purifies the blood, second is Rajsik food and third is Tamsik food. Tamsik food makes the food poisonous, excess of carbonisation in the blood leads to deformities in the cells. It also affects state of mind and we are always in the grip of anger, fear, sorrow, depression and frustration and hence the whole nervous system is affected. Finally the whole body is filled with toxic substances and the body becomes infirm. But only good food in not enough for good health. It will be also required to keep body away from toxic effect of environment around us. For this, Yoga and Ayurveda are the best. Respected Swami Ramdev ji and Acharya ji have been working for the last two decades to associate people with yoga and Ayurveda. Solution of health problems through Pranayam and Yoga: WHO's concerns are quite genuine but only declaration of food standard will not do. Problems are not confined to laws only. They have extended to human intentions. When intentions are not pure then how can you keep the food free from pollution or toxication. The nation and the world need such a citizens who have good character, purity of thinking and have capacity to make big efforts for the success of their goal. This can be possible by raising the standards of human life. It is great to note that Swami ji and Acharya ji have launched initiatives in this regard and their efforts are paying off good results. Kapalbhati, Anulom-Vilom and various Yogasanas are able to make our body free from toxic substances. They are making our body according to the law of nature. This kind of purification from both inside and outside will help us to maintain the purity of our food. This way WHO's standards can be easily fulfilled because, to change any tradition, it is required to display a strong will power. In fact, today's world lacks this factor only. This will be complete only through great Indian traditions of yoga and Ayurveda, which are parts of pure Indian trations. Your experience I survived from cancer at Yog-gram My name is Jeevanmala (45) and I was suffering from breast cancer since 2009. I am a resident of Flat-11, Karol Bagh, Jalandhar. My problem was in the first stage and I was under treatment at PGI Chandigarh. I was physically very weak and mentally depressed. Later I came to yog-gram. I was unable to walk. I was miffed at my sister for advising me to come here. Here, they did not give me anything special to eat. I was feeling that I am unnecessarily being advised here to do Neti Kriya, which I considered useless. I was afraid that this way I will become more weak. But the reality was very different. In fact I was getting strength from inside but would feel that I am being made weak from outside. I realised the change in me on one evening when my youngest son came running to me and said that he saw Swami ji on the road. My son was 8 years old. I had a great desire to see Swami ji once. This is the story of June 6, 2011. I came out running to take a view of Swami ji. I was hardly ready to believe that Swami ji was present in Yog Gram. I came out of my room to see him. Both of my sons took me towards the road and said he passed from this place. I would ask that they how did they recognise him from such a long distance. I ran a bit fast on the road and Swami ji appeared me from a distance. I touched his feet. I was surprised to see that some days back I was not able to bow down to lift a toy from the ground and now I was able to run on the road and I thought that it was no less than a miracle. I was regaining my good health at Patanjali Yog Gram. After me, I also got both of my children treated at Yog Gram. Ambiance of that place filled me such a great confidence and started getting back to good health. Since then I decided to join the activities of Patanjali because it had given me a new lease of life. I also wanted to get my children admitted at Acharyakulam but no body new me there. One day I suddenly met Acharya Pradyumna ji. He on his own requested me to admit one of my children at Patanjali. He said- O mother! Will you agree to give one of your sons for the mission of Swami ji. It was a great surprise for me and I thought that it was grace of almighty to get such an opportunity. Today, both of my sons are at Acharyakulam for the last two years. I felt myself blessed to get such a nice place. I got rid of my gastric problems: Baba ji, I was unable to walk as I had pain in by feet due to gastric. I also had pain in my back bone. I got relief from the medicines of Patanjali. The Asanas and Pranayams like Bhastrika, Kapalbhati, Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari, etc proved to be very useful for me. Since I started practising them, I found that I was able to do my daily works like doing comb in my hair, washing clothes, other domestic activities on my own. Baba ji, I am grateful to you for showing me the path of Yoga and Pranayama which helped me to regain good health. I am also grateful to Kiran Sinha who always inspired me to practice yoga and Pranayam. FromMrs. Yogshri Chandel, Jaithari Road, Opposite to Civil Court, Anuppur, M.P. My husband became free from addiction: Respected Baba ji, I want to thank you for helping my husband to get rid of his addiction for alcohol. Due to his addiction, the whole family was in stress and distress. Now he regularly watches your programmes on Astha channel without any gap and he is also a regular reader of Yog Sandesh magazine. He had started with taking five spoons of Amla juice added with similar quantity of lukewarm water in empty stomach. He would also take five spoons of Godhan Arka in the night after taking meal. Moreover, he would also take 2 gram mixture of Ashwagandha, Shatawar, White Musli which helped him to get physical strength he also stopped his addiction for the last one year. Though, he had gastric problem some times back but that problem too was over when he started taking Divya Gashar churna in the evening. Now he has completely got rid of addiction. Though his treatment is still continue. Today, lakhs of families in the country are being ruined due to addiction of narcotics and alcohol. I am sure that those families can also get over this problem by following your advice.

Geeta saar G eeta is the voice of almighty. As long as the common people, the society, the nation continue to function according to the rules of discipline of almighty, the Geeta flows with peace. When the discipline is infringed, its smooth flow gets blocked. Then voice of Geeta becomes loud. One who understands this voice, gets a high place in the society. He gets recognition as a legend, a hero, a revolutionary, a path changer. One who is capable in understanding the voice of nature in the era of darkness. In the Pandav era, Yogeshwar Krishna was such a person, similarly, Adi Shankar was also like the same. During freedom struggle, it were Lokmanya Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi who worked the same way to build a new era for the betterment of the society. When Geeta speaks, the world witnesses the phenomenon like Mahabharat in which enormous symbols of atrocities and exploitation had got destroyed. In this situation it becomes impossible for even almighty to stop this change. The gesture of present is the same. Today, Swami Ramdev ji, the greatest saint of present era, has adopted the same message of Geeta for building a new era which we are presenting here... editor.

Therefore, the Government should set up a Scientific Religious Commission and promote ancient source of scientific knowledge. I t is also a scientific view that the Dwadash Jyotirling area is not a normal area and it is related to higher Cosmo-physics. All these areas have abundance of gravitational force which turns it into an luminous object which releases light in adverse time. These Jyotirling areas, due to maximum gravitational stress, the minute light of here becomes highly dense and can be recognised as block transformed areas. This can also be called an enormous and intense pond, or high energy .zone. We often call Lord Shiva as Bhola and his Jalabhishek is performed all across the country. This symbolism is very mystique, sacred and full of special believes. The famous seismic scientist who to know the seismic intensity, use richter scale, had invented this scale. He had invented it. He was also a professor at California Institute of Technology. He had visited India to study on 1934 devastating earth quake in Bihar Nepal region. His book Elementary Seismology is deemed as Bible of geology. He in his book has written that fortunately we have a huge survey related experience but at the same time we also have two contradictory high intensity zones which have left us bewildered. The first is that Munger was worst hit than any other part of Bihar. Almost entire Munger area has turned into heaps of rubbles. No structure in the city was not devastated. This happened due to high intensity shock while there was no ravine in the city barring the one which 28 YOG SANDESH April 2015U n Prabhu Narayan (Environmentalist) is suddenly found in the northern part. Here highest number of casualty was reported which is one sixth of the total casualty of Bihar. After Munger, Kathmandu witnnessed second highest casualty. For knowledge, those days Dwadash Jyotirling Vaidyanath Dham was those days located in Munger district. Now it is under new district of Devghar. According to Charls Richter the epicentre of this devastation was located much away from Munger. Now you will be able to understand why Vaidyanath Dham was called Chita Bhumi in the ancient times. Scientist Albert Einstein's theory of relativity also makes it clear that energy and mass can transform into eachother. In this particular context, you can take the situation of Somnath, Nageshwar and 26 January, 2001 Gujarat quake. It seems that we are required to understand our geographical condition ourselves. We are required to also think on Einstein's famous statement that science is useless without religion and vice versa. As Charls Richter wrote that Kathmandu was the second worst hit place after Munger, we need to take it into our account that one of the famous Jyotirling - Pashupatinath is located in the town. Nepal is one of the oldest hub of Hindu civilisation. In ancient Indian traditions, Rudra and Pashu are the names of highest source of electro-magnetic energy. In these ancient scriptures like Rigveda, Jaimini Brahman, Tandya Brahman, Varhaspatya Sanhita, etc, we can find a rich stream of vast scientific knowledge. Another highly famous Jyotirling is Kedarnath which is located in Uttarakhand's Rudra Prayag district. It is Ishan, which means earth's Northeast Direction's rectangular point, where highly intense electro-magnetic waves which due to its high intensity is called Rudraprayag or the convergence point of Rudra. If we think on it in detail, we will know that Pashu, Rudra or Marud are highly intense energy waves. Similar things have been described in "Rudro wa Agnih pahvoanshvah" I 40/04, Kapishthal Sanhita I and Agneyashcha Marutashcha Pashu I Jaimini Brahman 2/23. According to India's ancient scriptures like Rigveda, the word Jyotirling is made of two terms- Jyotir means light and ling means symbol. Which means- Symbol of light. US' famous theoretical physics scholar who was funded by the country's intelligence agency CIA to conduct research on telepathy and quantum talirpotation. His famous bookSpace Time and Beyond, destiny matrices and Super Cosmos which had rocked the world of science. It is in fact a support to ancient Indian concept of science. According to Dr Jack, a matter is transformation of light through gravitational pull. At Primordial level, there is no difference between light and the wider sky. In this series, Latur-Usmanabad area of Maharashtra which were earlier considered as a safe zone from seismic point of view, but on December 30, 1993, the area was hit by a devastating earth quake. Now it is counted among ZONE III of most dangerous area prone to earth quake. Here it is important to note that Latur and Usmanabad are located at the trangular point of JyotirlingsBhimshankar and Trayambakeshwar. This fact is also not exaggerated because India's all Jyotirling areas have become transformed into an object of light and have acquired the form of a mountain area. Actually a matter's excess dense form and their position between sun and earth results into a high gravitational pull and this way the parts of earth are pulled towards earth's centre which is a cause of excess release of energy which sometimes cause severe earthquake. This is in fact the Tandava of Natraj Shiva. For example, according to ancient scriptures, Pashu is the term used for highly energetic electro-magnetic light waves from where light or energy is released. Pashupatinath is its best example. Famous scientist Dr Jack Sarphety's statement proves the idea that - "From my point of view, quantum physics and mind or conscious state are closely related to each other. Mind is the main creator of a matter." According to Indian Tatva Darshan or philosophy of material scienceboth Shiva and Shakti are closely related to each other. Both of them are same. Where dwait is Aekatva or unity, where power or light or energy are the ocean of energy, there Shiva symbolises energy or light. Due to intense gravitational effect is the light or energy's central power which is the area of dynamic consciousness. First is full of light and the second is human which in the condition of creation and destruction undergoes internal transformation. This is the form of Shiva dancing to the tune of universal wave. We can say that in the ancient time, Jyotirlings were selected according to full scientific methods. YOG SANDESH April 2015U 29 Spiritualism Sevak who has sacrificing character like a mother n Acharya Pradyumna ji Maharaj encourages sacrifice and consumption increases consumption. Enlightenment increases enlightenment and foolishness increases foolishness, spiritualism will encourage spiritualism and sin will promote sin. Peace brings peace and stability brings stability. This list can be increased as much as you wish to do. This formula is also applicable on serving others. Therefore, a person who is ready to serve others must have one thing very clear in his mind that he is being graced by serving others and the others are not by getting his services. Since through this circle of seva or the service, the person who takes this service is getting favour but this thing should not come into the mind of Sevak. It is unnecessary to say that if the person who is serving has any expectation from the one who is receiving his service, like financial or economic, political, social, national or mental, then this can definitely be said that the person who is serving failed to understand the importance of serving others. He will never be able to get the utmost due in leu of his services because he was running a business in the name of service. Sacrifice S ervice is not a business. Service means giving others only without any expectation from the person who is receiving the services. The people who are motivated by the aforementioned expectations like economic, social, etc while doing their service, their expectation may be fulfilled to a certain extent but they never get the true result of their service. In fact, there is no material return possible in leu of your service. It will be better to 30 YOG SANDESH April 2015U say that the true result of your service you can get when you work selflessly. This definition of service is a right kind of definition. It means the utmost state of shunning selfishness. You can imagine that when and how this stage can be attained. Why all your desire is over, only then this stage is possible. Even you don't have any lust in salvation. Only that person can be defined as a human who is selfless. Desire is one of the biggest thing which is most dangerous for once character. It is biggest character spoiler. Maharaj often tells us one thing - in the path of service, this feeling is also an obstacle that more and more people should get my services. This is also a way of expressing desire. A servent or Sevak is always ready for serving others. But he removes one or more from his mind. He is a devotee of type and not of the shape. "How much" becomes obsolete from his dictionary. In other words, after starting his service, he does not turn back. There is a beginning of a service and not its end. This is the biggest meaning of Maharaj's words. It is the functional arrogance in us which seeks to count and as soon as the counting increases, his arrogance too increases. When counting declines, he begins to become anxious. Service is the magnificent religion of being selfless. It is like Pacific ocean, which neither rises nor declines. Like Mahabharat's most magnificent character Krishna, he feels proud in cleaning one's dirty utensils after a feast is over and this feeling is no less than that of being worshiped by others. One who is dedicated to his duty, he will never be concerned about his achievements. He will be calm and composed. In this context Maharaj ji quotes Acharya Shankar- Chitasya Shuddhya Karma. This is the reason, the servant never gets tired, never loses patience, because peace is always there. A Sevak has to execute his duties while sitting on the stage of peace, since he never gets romantic charm or lust for big achievements, he never tries to run behind it. Therefore there is no place for boredom in his heart and mind. In stead of service, Maharaj sri sits with reformers and explains interesting things. He says that though a Sevak's duty is to serve others and a reformer has a duty to reform others. This way, both appear to be same from outside. But on A Sevak considers the person whom he serves as Narayan or God. His heart and mind resonates with the adage like Janata Janardan- people are true form of god. He is able to maintain his composure. This feeling of completeness is not born out of people's support or monitory return of his work but it is that internal completeness which is selfless and seeks nothing from anyone in the world. analysing their shape and functions seriously, both's central state is clearly known. Maharaj says that even reformer word is also having a special meaning. It means, spreading life but today, any eloquent speaker is recognised as this. He also begins to understand himself like this. A sevak is stimulated by love, affection, compassion, cooperation, and on this basis both has different streams. A reformer requires to have a already prepared platform where people could throng to listen his speech. He also requires to have a crowd with him which would raise slogans to praise him. He also requires people to read letters or papers explaining his great works or praising his works. He also wishes to have people putting garlands in his neck to honour him. He is also likes to keep people in his company who would keep informing him about the impact of his works. His supporters weigh him against money. A reformer has such a fundamental needs which help him to propel his works. Where a sevak has inclination towards type, a YOG SANDESH April 2015U 31 Spiritualism reformer has inclination towards size or number. When he is told that at a particular place his movement is making a big impact, his face lights up with happiness. On the contrary, when such things are not told him he feels dejected. At times, his such dejection turns out to be depression, and he begins to tell people that such a dirty time has come. People have become so greedy that they are not ready to listen to others. Many a time, he is seen saying that I have seen this world, it does not deserve good behaviour. You see, I have put all my energy for the welfare of this world but these people are so fool that they are they are not ready to understand. This way, our this reformer has become hopeless and having dull face. He sees this world as a very cruel place and becomes reactionary. If this reality is seen objectively, the reason will be clear why a reformer has such a negative thinking while a Sevak is miles away from such things, it will be known clearly that a reformer is self-centred while a Sevak is completely different from that. Therefore, a reformer, despite putting huge efforts for the welfare of the world, does not have control on his ego. This is the reason why his main focus happens to be on people's response with regard to his works. The sequence of his depression, dejection, feeling of dreadfulness, etc continues to exist. On the other hand, when a Sevak does not have such a things, he is always satisfied. 32 YOG SANDESH April 2015U A Sevak considers the person whom he serves as Narayan or God. His heart and mind resonates with the adage like Janata Janardan- people are true form of god. He is able to maintain his composure. This feeling of completeness is not born out of people's support or monitory return of his work but it is that internal completeness which is selfless and seeks nothing from anyone in the world. All names in this world begin to be seen uniform, it is like unitary almighty who is always calm, composed, and this is the foundation of a Sevak. His lone mantra is - if someone is thirsty, he needs to drink water. An old person must get help while crossing the road. The teacher askstomorrow I will ask you who one of you did what ? The next day, Ma'am begins to ask- Ram, you first tell us, what a service ever you have done in your life. Ram replied- Ma'am an elderly lady was trying to cross the road and I helped her to do so. Ma'am said- well done Ram. Next turn was of Shyam to answer and he too said that he held an old lady to cross the road. Ma'am congratulated him too. Next turn was of Mohan and he too gave the same reply that he helped an old lady to cross the road. On this Ma'am got angry and she askedwhere did you get so many old ladies. On this all the boys said that the old lady was one and she was reluctant to cross the road but they forcefully took her to other side of the road. In fact, a Sevak does not do this kind of thing. He never forces others in the name of serving others because he is not required to present an account of his services which he has rendered. He is able to keep himself contented in even small things. He is not hollow as a reformer happens to be. He has not to look at others for fulfilling his needs. It is like a mother's service to her child, she does not have to tell others that hey, I have this much or that much to done for other. It is equivalent to the duty of a mother for her kid. Let us too follow the path of a Sevak. Use and get best results To get rid of heat spots: B Apply paste of Neem leaves added with Aloe vera gel on heat spots, it will remove them completely. For concretion problem: B Sip water everyday in large quantity, also include horsegram or Kulthi in your meal occasionally and practise Kapalbhati Pranayam regularly, you will get best results in a few days in concretion problem.

In research, it has been found that it will be best for your health if you avoid taking salt in meal. Excess use of salt is harmful as chlorine present in it will increase the formation of Hydrochloric acid in the stomach which may result into hyperacidity that can cause ulcer like problems. It is interesting to note that the natural diet which we take already contains ample quantity of salt present in it. This natural salt present in the natural diet is enough to keep us healthy. Taking D r Henry C Sherman says that due to influence of salt, our digestive system gets disturbed and affects digestion and absorption of food which ruins the osmotic pressure in the system. 50 YOG SANDESH April 2015U According to Dr Ullaman, excess absorption of salt by tissues in the body disturbs the functioning of calcium and hence process like formation of bones, functioning of heart, etc are badly disturbed, and bones become weak, and the body becomes affected by many diseases. One gram salt absorbs 70 gm water in it and if this anomaly is allowed to continue for a long time, kidney, heart, blood vessels, liver become weak and their functioning is badly disturbed. Former Member of US Association of Cancer Research Dr L Halfman, M.D., reached to a conclusion that salt increases the problem of cancer tumour which is the reason why cancer patients are advised not to take salt. Salt increases cancer tumour: According to a study, salt contains 8300 germs and 400 spores. Doctors like Gems Brethwide (England), Frederick T Marwood (Denmark), L Dumpkan Wulclay (Mexico) have concluded that salt is directly concerned to cancer. Their findings said that due to salt intake, cancerous tumour increases very fast. Salt is non-organic substance and it has very adverse impact on tissues. It increases blood pressure. It also causes an imbalance in the electrolyte mineral salts in the blood and prevents release of toxicants out of the the body during metabolic process. It's effect on the cell formation and through malignant process and turn them into cancerous tumour. In the research it has been seen that tumour cells have high salt content than normal cells. Role of salt in high blood pressure, kidney and heart diseases After many years of his research on relation between salt and high blood pressure, Dr Levis K Dall of New York reached to the conclusion that sodium present in the salt is responsible for high blood pressure. Those who have history of high blood pressure in their family, they should not take salt more than 1/2-1 gm salt in a day. Our body needs only 100-500 mg salt a day for necessary body functions and this much of salt is already present in our natural food like cereals and vegetables. Dr Frederick Allen in his research proved that a person's blood pressure level comes down by 30-70 mm within four weeks if he stops taking salt. According to new theory, in dropsy it is sodium which is responsible for the problem and not the water. It is also observed that to nullify the ill-effects of sodium in the body, water is collected in the tissues. This disease is concerned to kidney and heart related problems. Dr Fredilin Replay stopped salt intake of dropsy patients and observed that toxic substances collected in the tissues come out of the body through urine and the patient began to recuperate. Obesity and salt: Excess intake of salt increases obesity. If there will be high quantity of salt in the food, enzyme saliva is secreted in high quantity and a person feels more hunger and he starts taking more food and collection of water in the tissues also increases and this way he becomes victim of obesity and kidney related diseases. At Patanjali Yoggram, many of the patients of obesity and kidney related diseases got good health by stopping their salt intake. According to US magazine Good Health, tension, sleeplessness, epilepsy, swelling and hives are the diseases caused due to excess use of salt in the meal. It has also been observed that stopping salt intake of expecting mothers, the problems among them like high blood pressure, swelling in the body and anaemia do not crop up. Many experts including Dr Hains Countiz and CJ Lehmen are of the view that taking less than two gram sodium a day is sufficient for our body. Each of 2.5 gm salt contains one gram sodium, therefore, a person should not take more than 5 gm salt a day. When you have desire to take more salt in food US' Lova University experts consider salt as an antidepression medicine. They believe that taking salt makes us feel happy therefore in the state of tension and anxiety, people naturally begin to take more salt. In an experiment, it was found that when salt intake was stopped in rats, they were found to be in anxiety, tension and depression and they grew to be lazy. Similarly, in case of human, low salt intake reduces their Salt's most dangerous impact happens on kidney and the poison from it has to be removed frequently and finally it becomes very weak and leads to the stage of kidney failure. work efficiency. In a research published in physiology and behavioural journal it was said that taking salt keeps us happy. The Science Daily writes that taking anti-depression medicines or salt in low quantity give similar results. Are you not addicted to salt: In research it was proved that we take more of salt not because of our body's requirement but it is due to addiction. It has impact on our brain like narcotics and we become addicted to it. According to a report on food habit based on a research of 11 years, we take 10-15 gm salt in a day through food or fast food that we take. Due to this, chances of cancer and heart diseases increases by three times. These scientists have also said that the people who take more and more salty diet, probability of stomach cancer in them rises. According to The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, Food Standard Agency and UK Health Department, only 3-5 gm salt is enough for all body YOG SANDESH April 2015U 51 Special functions in a day. For children of age group between 1-6 years, only 2 gm salt is enough, for 7-14 years of age group 5 gm salt is enough. One pinch of salt is 0.25 gm while one tea spoon salt is 5-7 gm. Research scholar Sinawali Beshier is of the view that desire of salt is not the demand of our body but it is just part of our habit according to our upbringing. Its roots run very deep but there are also certain tribal communities which do not use salt in their food and none of their members have the problems like high blood pressure, kidney related diseases etc. Dr Ugine Folds in his experiments has proved it that high salt intake increases your impulse and also causes hair fall. Excess of salt intake is also responsible for sleeplessness and skin diseases. According to research scholars of Duke University Medical Centre, excess of salt intake is responsible for improper absorption of calcium which causes diseases. According to study of the scientists of Italy, excess of protein and salt intake is responsible for kidney stone. Salt in Ayurveda In our ancient scriptures, it has been described that salt is harmful for heath. It has been said in Charak Sanhita that salt disturbs balance of Pitta. It is also responsible for excess of thirst, high blood circulation and hence high blood pressure. Lust and faint are the results of high salt intake. Salt has bad impact on your flesh and it also causes leprosy, increases the level of toxic substances in the body, makes teeth weak, ruins your potency, makes body organs weak and is also responsible for wrinkles. It is also responsible for graying hari, baldness, Raktapitta, Amlapitta, Vaatrakta, lust, sensuality, old age, etc. Salt is also responsible for bad health of both the animals and plants. When it is necessary to take salt: Despite have ill effect on our health, it also works like medicines in certain cases. When elders and children have shock, low blood pressure, dehydration, etc, then take mixture of salt, sugar, water and lemon. It will give you a new leases of life. In malaria: According to Dr Brook, take a handful of salt and roast it 52 YOG SANDESH April 2015U in a pot on low flame till it turns brown and take 10 gm of it with lukewarm water while empty stomach. If you feel thirst, take some water. Even in case of hunger, do take food for four hours. Later take light meal. It is a very effective medicine of malaria. Applying this treatment for 1-2 times will cure the problem. Patients of high blood pressure and kidney are advised not to apply this therapy. Additional: Tiredness in feet, pain in the feet, swelling, sleeplessness, keep your feet for 10-15 minutes in the lukewarm water mixed with salt. Use salt hypo tonic solution to wash sore and other skin problems. In it, WBC level rises and the problem is cured. In tonsil, throat swelling, teeth pain, tonsil related cough, wound, arthritis, joint swelling, pain is cured when you put towel soaked in hot salty water on affected parts. Cough, arthritis, flue, headache, etc are cured when you take salt steam. Take bath by adding salt in warm water, it will cure your body pain. If you have white spots on the face, apply salt solution. In case of bite of poisonous animals, apply salt solution on affected parts and drink a bit of the water. In case of cold, cough related problems, make paste of salt and berry leaves and lick it with honey. It will be very effective. In the salt added hot water, mix a bit of garlic juice and drink in the problem of stomach pain. The problem will be cured. When salty solution is poured in the nostrils, unconscious person will return to consciousness. In condition of burn, apply a layer of oil on the affected part and pour fine powder of salt on it. It will be very useful. If you have swallowed poisonous insects, acid or other harmful chemicals, administer 50 gm salt solution, those toxic substances will come out of the body through vomiting. Weakness of muscles, etc full tub salty water bath is very useful. For beautiful foot skin our also to enhance its beauty, wash your feet in salt water for 5-10 minutes. Licking 10 gm salt and 20 gm honey will cure the problem of migraine. This way, salt is somewhere used as medicine while at times it is also like poison. It is most necessary to use it with prudence for good health and cheerful mind.

This grass destroys the crops. Now it is being used as bio-fertiliser to help farmers to resolve their problems. An effective drive in this regard is soon to be launched. In this series, ginger, cauliflower, little finger, bitter gourd, tomato, green chilly, potato, etc crops are to be grown cycle wise and it is being suggested that how can a farmer earn Rs 11 lakh in one acre of land. Bio-fertilisers are being prepared with the help of earthworms, salt spray being used on Gajar Ghas to make biofertiliser. It is also being studied on how to use the liquid released from the body of earthworms to make crops healthy. In fact, to enhance confidence among farmers with regard to agriculture, it is necessary to make them aware of bio-agriculture. After T ake example of earthworms. It makes bio-fertiliser which contains 16 nutritious elements of which 22 are enzymes. Farmers must be informed about it. They should be informed to make bio-fertiliser by making a pit of size 10*5 feet, filling it with cow dung, rotten dirty straw fodder and closing its mouth which is a simplest way to prepare bio-fertiliser. By making farmers understand the importance of bio-agriculture, farmers are required to understand the harms of chemical fertiliser. It is the biggest need of hour. If we take the Shloka - Jeevasya Jeevamma Bhakshati- into account, we will know that 98 per cent worms are carnivorous and only two percent of them are herbivorous. Our farmers use a lot of chemicals to kill these only 2 percent worms only. 54 YOG SANDESH April 2015U This destroys earth's fertility. According to a report, 36 lakh metric tonn fertiliser Indian farmers use in a year but only 14 lakh metric tonn could be available to them. Rest of fertiliser is imported from other countries. However, with use of bio fertiliser, our country will become more independent in terms of its agricultural needs and the farmers too will be encouraged to use bio fertiliser. Our land will be protected from the hazards of chemicals. Bio fertilisers have more of organic substances, and carbon is good for vitality of our plants. Therefore its use is very necessary. Organic substances balances PH value of the soil and if a farmer will use indigenous technique of agriculture, it will also be good for the breeding of the animals of cow family because only two cows can provide bio fertiliser for 10 acres of land. It is most required on parts of farmers to manage their time. Stress on natural agriculture: Farmers are required to know how the farming is possible in jungle. White Musli, tomato, Amla, etc can be grown through bio agriculture. It will also help farmers to increase their income. This agriculture too demands bio agriculture. In India, 1 crore 90 lakh tonn chemical fertilisers is used which necessaries people of our country to take 100-200 ml medicines everyday to cope up with the health hazards caused by chemicals. This is giving birth to many diseases. It is a part of agriculture science that 16 nutrients are required for agriculture. They include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen are the four elements which constitute air taken by plants. 12 other constituents are taken from earth. In other words, a plant take 950 gm its food from air, 50 gm from earth. Earth is directly connected to nature which automatically prove that use of chemicals makes food harmful for us. This is the basic thinking behind Patanjali's slogan- Turn to bio-herbal food, save your earth. It is an old believe that for nutrition, one should use 15-20 kg soil from roots of Peepal and banyan trees in one acre area of land. You can use soil from river bank too. A worm take four months to grow fully but if it is given right kind of food, it can grow in just one month time. Therefore adding jiaggry, honey, ghee, flour in the soil will make it In India, 1 crore 90 lakh tonn chemical fertilisers is used which necessaries people of our country to take 100-200 ml medicines everyday to cope up with the health hazards caused by chemicals. This is giving birth to many diseases. It is a part of agriculture science that 16 nutrients are required for agriculture. They include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen are the four elements which constitute air taken by plants. 12 other constituents are taken from earth. more fertile. Similarly we can use Neem fruit powder for medicine. Farmers work like god as he feeds the world. The farmers who make the people in towns millionaire are in acute poverty. They are being forced to commit suicide. Our ancestors under the guidance of sages would perform Puja or worship of plough and seeds were also properly treated before use. However, today the crops are harvested and we don't care to visit to the fields. How can our soil produce healthy and good food? In one gm soil, there are crores of germs which are important for nutrition of crops. They provide food to the plants. Today in the era of monetary prosperity, we hardly care for soil. Similarly, what is the need of our farmers? They need resources to make their two ends meet besides some money for family functions like marriages, etc. But even such minimum requirements of him are not being fulfilled. This is the misfortune of the country. In today's modern era, they have been forced to be dependent on chemicals. When our farmers' mother earth is losing her fertility, how can they be prosperous. Moreover, the farmers also need to be aware of weather and seasonal changes because only such information decide their destiny. We also observe that the grains grown by using bio fertilisers fetch 1.5 times more income than the grains grown by using chemical fertilisers. The bio fertilisers can be prepared by using grass and cow dung. There are many facilities available in natural farming to increase agricultural income. If our farmers could associate himself through these facilities, the agricultural activities will get a new and prosperous direction. People of the country will get healthy and nutritious food, and farmers will be prosperous. This is the main goal of Patanjali Yogpeeth. YOG SANDESH April 2015U 55 Write up Water: Most effective medicine for summer n Dr Preeti Joshi I n their scientific expeditions on any planet, the scientists search for water first. If the signs of water are found on a planet, then possibility of presence of life becomes higher. Water strengthens the foundation of our health, and other nutrients taken by use reach to all parts of body and give us vitality. This planet is made of three parts of water, 70 per cent parts of our body too is made of water. 95 per cent brain, 82 per cent blood, 90 per cent lungs are water. The the balance among the elements which constitute our body is disturbed, we fall ill. But water is very important for our health. of cancer becomes minimum. Water intake in sufficient quantity ensures proper cleanliness of internal body organs and hence cancerous elements don't get stored in the body. Taking sufficient water will keep your skin glowing and you remain healthy. Though taking less water may cause diseases, excess intake of water will have very adverse impact on your health especially on your kidney. Taking less water will have adverse impact on your digestive system and will also decrease the number of electrolytes in the body besides other problems like kidney related diseases, early old age, skin problems, etc. Standard of need for water in our body: Works of water: According to naturopathy, one should take as much water a day as you release. Normally we release 2 litre of water from our body everyday. This means, you should take 10-12 glass water everyday. Need for water in our body keeps changing according to external temperature, mental condition and diseases that we suffer from. For example, we need to drink more water in summer while we take less water in winter. Similarly, those who have higher proportion of Pitta in the body, they require to take more water because Pitta is of the nature of fire. People of gastric or Vatta nature are also required to drink more water. It is necessary as water is required to protect internal body organs from dryness. But everyone is required to drink at least 8-10 glass water a day. Lesser use of water may cause problems like constipation, acidity, high blood pressure, heart diseases, skin diseases, arthritis, joint pains, etc. If one takes sufficient quantity of water and that too in proper way, then body parts like breast, intestine, penis remain healthy and possibility 56 YOG SANDESH April 2015U To maintain your body temperature we need to take sufficient quantity of water. The blood ducts on our skin keep blood circulation proper. This blood reaches to the internal parts of the body. Water from inside the body gets evaporated from our skin and hence they maintains body temperature. Blood plasma contains 90 per cent water and this plasma also maintains PH level of the blood. The anti-bodies prepared by our immune system also requires water to be spread in all parts of the body. Water also plays key role in spreading oxygen to all body cells. It helps in digestion of food, keeping body organs clean, removing harmless substances out of the body, metabolism process. It also maintains moisture in noses, ears, throat, etc. The water present in our saliva helps in digestion of food like chewing and swallowing of food. Water has zero calorie: When we have scarcity of water in the body, we feel thirst and for this drinking water is the best idea. Water has zero calorie while other drinks like carbonated or other soft drinks have many chemicals besides a lot of calorie which may give use immediate joy but they don't provide us proper quantity of water. This way acidity in the body increase and this could cause many diseases in the body. If we include sufficient quantity of fruit and green vegetables in our meal including butter milk and kerry or panna, then availability of water is maintained in the body besides availability of nutrition and fibre in the body. These stuffs also keep our blood in basic form which is good for health. Right ways to use water: In our country, sages have suggested to take sufficient water since ancient time. In this context, Swami ji has described the ways to use water saying that if a person has to keep healthy, he will have to take care of three things in life. Maintain a balance among body's Vaat, Pitta and cough, which are our body's Tridosh. Experts are of the view that cold, cough, and other problems besides cancer are caused due to imbalance among them. If this balance is maintained, we can protect ourselves from falling ill. Don't take water immediately after taking meal: Taking water immediately after meal is poisonous. The food which is collected in the stomach's special area which is called epistrium. After the taking meal, a heat is created in the area but drinking water will quench the heat which completely disturbs the digestive system. Undigested food begins to rot and hence it causes problems like gastric, indigestion, burning sensation, etc. basic saliva when goes inside, it reduces acidity and balance among Vaat, Pitta and cough is maintained. This is the reason it is advised to sip water. Avoid taking very cold water: As the internal body temperature is higher, if we drink very cold water it will have an adverse impact on internal body parts. l After leaving bed in the morning, take 2-3 glass water: Drinking water after leaving bed is very useful. The reason behind it is that in empty stomach, the water is properly absorbed by the body and it helps in cleaning of body organs. Intestines become active with drinking water early in the morning. Waste material too easily come out of the body and blood circulation also become good. l This way, we should follow four rules in life regarding water, besides other cautions. l If the food remains undigested in the stomach, it will be useful to drink lemon juice added in lukewarm water. l Both the very cold or very hot water is harmful. l Whenever you feel thirsty, you must take water. Overlooking this need of yours is harmful. l There are certain circumstances in which one should avoid taking water. For example when you are breathing fast, immediately after clearing your stomach from the waste material. Water should not be taken when you are standing. Avoid taking water after hard physical work or physical exercise, soon after traveling in severe sunlight, immediately after sex, immediately after eating peanuts, banana, guava, pumpkin, watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, immediately after meal, or soon before taking meal, etc. l This is the reason it is advised to take water at least one hour after taking meal. If you want to drink something immediately after taking meal, take at least lassi, butter milk, fruit juice or lemon juice. You can drink water 40 minutes before taking meal. Taking a few sips of water will make the food taken soft and this way it will be helpful in digestion of it. Whenever you drink water drink it by sipping: The saliva present in the mouth gets mixed with water and goes in the stomach. This saliva happens to be basic in nature while a lot of acid is found in the stomach. This l Since the water is life on this planet, hence use water properly to keep healthy in upcoming summer.

Modernity's most adverse impact is evident on our food and it is getting to be polluted and unhealthy. Under food, we are talking about junk food, fast food or street food which are very popular these days. These unhealthy eatables have penetrated deep into our rural areas. Among people's bad food habit, junk food is most dangerous for health. J unk happens to be an English term which means, useless. Which means, junk food is prepared by such unhealthy raw stuffs which have high calorie and fats and it provides no nutrition to your body. Fast food, street food, packaged soft drinks, etc come under the category of junk food. 60 YOG SANDESH April 2015U Today, so many varieties of fast food are available in the market like pizza, burger, chocolate, noodles, momos, Samosa, bread, biscuits, hot dog, patties, pastries, ice cream, chips, candy, toffee, carbonated soda water, cold drinks, readymade butter, pasta, French fry, maggy, pani puri, bhel puri and frequently processed food. These food stuffs are catered in such a nice way that whether people of all age groups whether they are children, young boys and girls or elderly people, all have a crave to eat these stuffs. Addiction of fast food enslaves a person who tastes it once in life. They may look very delicious and attractive but they are very dangerous for our health. Unfortunately, our young generation seems to be crazy for it. At all the fast food shops and street stalls, you can see the long queues of young boys and girls, who eat these unhealthy stuffs with such a great joy, being unaware of the harm by eating them. The result is very unfortunate that junk food has changed their lives. Not only their physical health but their complete health is at peril. If the people become aware of the health hazard of junk food, then they will keep themselves away from it. According to modern science, wrong food habits pollute our body's micro biological environment which lead to many diseases. It results into problems like tension, anxiety, depression, and the person becomes violent and behaves this way with all others. If the people get aware of the harms of such food stuffs, it could be possible that they will keep themselves away from them. According to the theory of modern medical science, our body's micro biological ambience is badly disturbed due to bad food habits which give birth to various diseases. Another research also tells that excess eating of fast food or junk food leads to less secretion of vital bio-chemical material serotonine, which is a monoamine neurotransmitter. It results into mental stress, inferiority, lack of confidence and other such problems. This also makes a person aggressive and he develops a tendency to turn violent on small issues. Such problems are a barrier in the person's personal and social growth. All the fast foods contain all the five slow poisons like- all purpose flour or Maida, salt, sugar, rice and vegetable oil in abundance. On using these chemicals on rats, scientists of Washington university found that they developed cancerous cells in them. This is the reason they are banned in many developed countries. Similarly sweet and tasty chocolates and toffees are found to have a chemical named tyrosine which is responsible for headache. Regular use of junk food leads to deficiency of vitamins, minerals, calcium etc in our body. These food stuffs have no fibre content but they have abundance of calorie which may cause problems like pain, irritation, anxiety, insanity, etc. If you want to keep yourself healthy, want to see your family happy and healthy and want to see reign of peace in the society, avoid and boycott fast food and turn to natural food. They way you can help in a great way to change your life, the life your family also the life of people in the society. YOG SANDESH April 2015U 61 Patanjali's poison-free agriculture-14 Watermelon's natural cultivation according to Patanjali's method n Rajesh Jain is world's rarest of rare country which has such a vast and ancient knowledge of agricultural science. There is a famous adage - agriculture is the best, business is the middle level work and service is the lowest level work, but unfortunately, today's situation has drastically changed - farmers are losing interest in farming as is this profession seems not to be very profitable. This is the reason why many of the farmers are selling their land and turning to other professions. The important fact is that this situation has not appeared in one day.
