INTRODUCTION

It is a matter of common observation that while the world is progressing so fast in the domain of science and technology that man has been able to land on the moon, his character and his ways of life are going lower and lower every day. The atmosphere has undergone a change so much so that at present, nowhere in the world is left any substance of happiness or any essence of peace. Human life has now become worth a kawdi or worth of penny as they say. It has become very object and worth straw because he possesses neither any divine qualities nor real peace nor happiness.

Asana is that in which one is able to contemplate on Absolute Being continuously over a longer time. Otherwise it is no asana which leads to discomfort.

Yoga has become popular throughout the world and people are taking interest in practising various kind of yogic techniques.

Asanas have become favourite yogic techniques with almost all yoga practitioners. However, there is no other technique so grossly misunderstood as that of asana.

Asanas are looked upon as yogic exercises with out precisely understanding the meaning and the scope of the term exercise. The word exercise is very loosely used by the common man. This is the cause of confusion and has given rise to the controversy about the static and dynamic nature of the asanas. Some call asanas static and others practice them in a dynamic way without the precise understanding of the words static and dynamic. (more…)

Get Lighter – Turn to Nature.

Proper balance in five great elements in the body is necessary to maintain good health.

Naturopathy attributes Obesity to the imbalance of five principal Elements of Life. It is due to the increase in Earth, retention of Water, reduction in Air, latency of Sun & loss of Space. Rebalancing of the five changes your shape & protects you from diseases.

The imbalance is created by the modern chemically treated tasty foods, cold drinks, lethargic & comfortable living, excessively disturbing the room temperature for comfort & so on. This God-made adaptogenic machine gets accustomed to all this & keeps on storing even the unwanted things; causing obesity in the form of concentrated residual deposits till a limit & then it starts raising alarms for medical aids. The process takes years & can’t be reversed in days. (more…)

Excessive consumption of salt causes excessive thirst, anemia, acidity, reduces absorption of calcium from food causing osteoporosis and affects eye sight. It also raises bile secretion level, raises density of blood and decreases our vitality. It causes increase in blood pressure which in turn leads to heart diseases, paralysis and strokes.

It has been genetically established that Indians are more prone to obesity, heart diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes, when compared to other nationalities. And all this is usually attributed to our habit of taking more sweets and salty foods. Sweets are almost a necessary part of our diet, and no meal is complete without a sweet added to it. But few people are aware that excessive salt consumption is equally, if not more, dangerous for our health. Here too, Indians score heavily over others, because our food usually contains such high salt products such as pickles (Achar), Pappads, Chutneys, etc. In between our main meals, many people consume lot of salty snacks like samosa, kachori, dal bhujia, namkeens, golgappas (Pam puree), dahi wada and what not? We all know, of course, that people suffering from high blood pressure should avoid salt, but beyond that we are very little aware of how much salt we should consume and that high salt diet can lead to serious health consequences.
