•
Eli Lilly(US) – 35,000% profit in India selling the allopathic drugs o Most of the allopathic doctors are Drug manufactures commission agents o They prescribe medicines more than vegetables o IMC and Indian govt failed to put brakes o Oath taken by Doctors thrown to wind
•
Here, out of 6000 sutras shortlisted 50 sutras as the most essential
•
Sutra No 1-Food cooked and eaten while there is sunshine and touch of air is amruth and not mere food. o If food is cooked without this it is slow poison o Avoid use of pressure cooker as it prevents both the above o Micro oven and Refrigerator = No sun shine or touch of Air Findings of Centre for Drug Research Institute, Lucknow o Aluminum vessels the most ill suited for cooking or keeping the food o Pressure cooker 99% of aluminum
Govt spent so far10 lakhs cr for doctor’s education
VAGABHAT, 135 years, sanyasi- disciple of Charak but who worked more than Charak o Vagbhat simplified Charak sutras into common man’s language o 2 books by Vagbhat =Astanga hrydayam, Astanga samgrahamtogether 6000 sutras If you want to be healthy o know your body(physiology and anatomy) & your food o The second more important o The one who knows/understand the food requires no doctor o Know food = know your kitchen

• •
18 years of research : aluminum vessels cause Diabetes, bronchitis, arthritis, TB 48 diseases purely out of pressure cooker Immunity comes down-Research in Jails
125 years back aluminum vessels introduced by EIC for Jail inmates o All freedom fighters in Jails during those days o Intention was to kill them by slow poison o Now the poor are using it more o And rich are using Pressure cookers made out of it o logic used it saves times Question? What you do with saved time If falls sick the time spent in hospital squares the saved time
•
How Pressure cooker cooks fast? o Extra pressure on food with water
•
Ayurveda principle -the food item that require more time to mature in the field need to be given more time to cook o Pressure cooker does just opposite to it
1
o o o o
•
Arhar dhal- matures in the field in 6 to 8 months. Hence it need to be cooked more time to be absorbed into the body. Pressure cooker soaks or breaks dhal (mistaken as cooking) in 5 to 6 minutes Cooking and soaking is 2 different things
Puri Jagananth Temple Prasad cooked in earthen vessels o Earth is a bad conductor o Hence it takes more time to cook o It gives more time for dhal to be cooked in an earthen vessel. o Earth contains micro nutrients o Body has the element of earth o Jaganath Puri Prasad does not get spoilt even after 36 hours o CSIR,Delhi research shows micronutrient remain intact in the Prasad even after 36 hours o Pressure cooker cooked dhal – only 13% micronutrient remains o If you want to make use of the micronutrient of dhal, it need to be cooked and not soaked or broken! o Potters the greatest scientists
CFCs helps to keep the temperature below the room temperatures inside the refrigerator o CFCs- 12 types of gases -Chlorine, Fluorine, CO2 etc., o Chlorine in dictionary meaning = poison o Fluorine in dictionary meaning = very poisonous o CO2 is also poisonous o Body mechanism takes out CO2 o If kept inside death is certain o Thing kept inside refrigerator affected by gases even when kept closed-Gas can penetrate any thing o Reason for Refrigerator invention=to counter wide variation in temperature in European temperature o 2nd reason = to preserve allopathic medicine o Used extensively for Army o No need for households in India • How to overcome the refrigerator? Sutra No 2 o
•
o o
o
They are the greatest doctors by supplying the earthen vessels that help you preserve micronutrients of food o Earth contains – 18 micronutrients – calcium, silicon, iron, sulphur, etc., which are essentials for body. • Body need all these 18 micro nutrients for well balanced growth. • Food cooked in earthen pots contains all these 18 micronutrients • Alternative vessels made of metals o Khasa (Copper) – 97 % micro nutrient remains o Peetal – 93% micro nutrient remains Lecture No 2
•
TVS group family members cook food in earthen vessels o Dirubhai Ambani – Kokila Bhen – roti in earthen thava
•
If 20 cr families (112 cr population) start using earthen vessels it gives employment to 18% Potter population in the country, who are now un-employed
• •
Brahmin population is also 18%
•
Refrigerator
Simple way to be in touch with the soil = use earthen vessels in kitchen
Make use of food within 50 pals (in Sanskrit) or in 48 minutes of cooking o Why 48 minutes?
•
Vagbhat a great mathematician also
Any food beyond that is(known as Bhasi in Hindi) not even fit for animal consumption o Out of 360 days in a year only one day bhasi is allowed to be consumed that is on Bhasi festival -That day the 3 gunas in the body gets worse. Body needs protein that day- To give it , Vagbhat suggest Bhasi food usage. o Jain equal the not usage of food after 48 minutes to Ahimsa Western and Eastern people DNA is different
• •
Indians take values associated with religious belief
•
Micro Wave Oven-Only part of the food is heated Making of hot rotti known only in India. Western people do not know how to make it
• •
Global warming another reason for not use of Refrigerator
•
They eat bread made 3 months back Sutra 3 • Raw materials of food not to be of 7 days old • Powdered wheat to be consumed within 15 days o Other cereals powder within 7 days o Rural chakki running ladies in villages healthy – no cesarean or arthritis o Reason? pressure on the stomach-Uterus

o o
More the elasticity for uterus and the muscles around the better for the health of the women No cesarean in olden days Ayurveda- till 7th month of pregnancy mother can exert (running the chakki) When Menopause stops (45+ age) many problems -sudden changes in the body– shiver, hot, flashes, depression, etc., Allopathy suggests hormone replacement Weight increases is the output No permanent cure for problems out of menopause. But it can be controlled with kitchen equipments-One is Chakki and other Masala powdering equipment Gym can not reduce the stomach
Vata more in Hot climate people. To reduce it slow exercises, slow dancesbharatnatyam etc., o In western countries vata is low to increase it fast exercises, dances etc.,ballet, disco etc., o Technology in the kitchen has brought control on diseases o In the name of development we have brought diseases inside the houses o Machines have turned body into machines. o All these have reduced the work of the body. Sutra 4 -Do not reduce the physical work till 60 years • 18 to 60 body need to work • Children physical work in the form of games • Now all have been mechanized • It has made the life mechanized • It removed the joy of life
• •
• •
In olden days there was joy in work and life It was expressed thru songs In olden days people used to work with songs – different occasions songs varies - wedding, sowing, harvesting, festival, Now no body knows the songs
•
Now boredom has come Sutra No 5
• • • • • •
Live along with the geographical conditions India a place of hot climate- more vata problems 70 to 85 % problems out of this 10 % - 15% Pitta related diseases 5% Kapha related diseases Do not do anything that increases Vata eg running -Running in India is wrong
•
Food habits-People from Rajasthan living in Chennai to consume rice and not wheat Lecture No 3
• • •
• •
Vagbhat – Moksha concept –The person who is free of sorrow and try to remove others unhappiness gets moksha -3 types of unhappiness One who has removed his sorrow but do not try to remove others sorrow, is not entitled to moksha Sadus try to remove only their own sorrow Householders alone try to remove others sorrow
How to remove body sorrow- the most important aspect stomatch-90% problems (nearly 150 types of diseases) stomach related-10% related to other parts • How to safe guard from the stomach related problems? • How you eat is more important-eat with mastication Sutra No 6-Drinking water after eating food is equal to drinking poison o Jatara in stomach (amashaya) –Fire is produced. o Food eaten goes to Amashayao If water consumed after eating food it douses the jatara and the food gets decomposed instead of digestion-Result? Gas production- and nearly 103 types of diseases – acidity, hyper acidity-ulcer, peptic ulcer, cancer, Increase of cholesterol/fat o Proper digestion of food will not create cholesterol o Drink water after 1 ½ hours of foodregion wise this differs – Uttaranchal it would be 2 ½ hours o Drinking water before eating food can be 40 to 50 minutes before eating food o Drinking water in between food – if 2 types of food – rice and rotti – drink water in between the two-How much ? 2 to 3 mouthful only. o After food drink Butter milk or milk or seasonal fruit juice o Fruit juice after break fast- why the enzymes needed to digest that is produced only in the morning o Butter milk only after afternoon foodwhy the enzymes produced only in the morning o Milk after supper o How to drink water after 1 ½ hours food? o Water does not have any qualities – it acquire quality into which it is mixed. Therefore even though butter milk/fruit juice etc., major portion is water, it acquires the quality of butter or juice when gets mixed.

Drink water with lota not glass keeping very near to body o Why? Surface tension issues. It creates stress on water o Lota is round- has minimum surface area- minimum surface tension o Glass has more surface hence the water kept in it has surface tension o Well is round and has minimum surface tension o Water quality is cleaning. It reduces the surface tension of the intestine and the unwanted things is thrown out o Water with high surface tension works opposite and hold back unwanted things. o Cold water surface is high and it will hold back the items Drink water by sipping Mouth produces saliva (alkaline) and jatara produces acids. Both mixed together neutralizes When water is drunk by sipping, it takes the alkaline saliva and then mixes the acidic enzymes and neutralizes both- pH level =7 In whose stomach the acid and alkaline is similar to water will live 100 years. Obesity reduced only by changing the water drinking habits Never drink cold water Drink water temperature of which is equal to body temperature- never above the body temperature.
•
Cold water goes into stomach and cools the stomach-body gets cold-all organs also get cold.
•
If the stomach is functional, it tries to convert the cold water into body temperature- more energy and blood needed for it which is taken from other parts- first from head- slowly it creates a problem for that organs – brain hemorrhage
•
Western countries –people drink chilled water – constipation – 2 hours in toilets Do not take ice cream, cold drinks etc., it creates constipation
•
•
Saliva produced in the mouth very potent and should not be wasted. Animals lick the wounds to heal
•
Sutra-Drink water as soon as you wake up (before brushing)
•
Why? Saliva production active even during the sleep time. Brahmamurt saliva very potent – do not waste it-1 to 1 ¼ liter for grown up(3 glasses) 750 grams for below that (2 glass) o Diabetes patients – wounds – healed out of saliva. Gangrene patients also cured
o o o
o o o
Eye problem – fat specks – by applying morning saliva to eye like kajal Conjunctivitis- apply saliva Black eyes- black circles around the sun – apply saliva What is the content of Saliva – same chemicals as in the soil – 18 micro nutrients Eczema, Psoriases – saliva can cure Eating pan with chuna (1 gram without supari and tobacoo) is recommended
Lecture No 4 Have a regular food timing
• • • • • • • •
Take food when the jatara is extreme Jatara time peaks till 2 ½ hours from the sun rise. Animals follows this rule Each body organs have its own times for peak work Eg heart – during brahmamurt- most of the heart attacks during that time Take the maximum food during that time. Anything that you like most take in the first food Take lunch before 9.30 am and not break-fast
•
Break-fast is western concept- they take little break-fast and lunch more and supper maximum.
•
Reason? No sun shine in western countries in the morning. Good morning concept – because of that- they wish the sun shine in the morning Keep reducing the food intake subsequent to that
• •
•
Eg. 6 rottis in the first food, make it 4 at afternoon and 2 at night
•
Food to fill the stomach and mind also. • Take food that you make you happy Supper to be taken 40 minutes before sun set Do not take in-compatable items together -103 items • Eg o Onion and milk – if taken together psoriasis, eczema will be output o Milk and Jack fruit o Milk and Citric items fruits (orange,lemon etc.,) o Amla alone can be taken along with Milk o Ghee and Honey o Urad dhal and Curd – blood pressure increases (dhahi vada taboo) Eat food squatting on floor
•
Jatara intensity maintained in sitting posture, standing position it is reduced, sitting on the chair it is moderately reduced.
•
Why? The shad chakra behind the hip joints – it has influence on the jatara . In sitting posture its intensity on jatara is increased Plate can be slightly higher than the floor
•
4
•
Pavanamuktasan or Kagasan suggested while eating for those doing physical work • Dining table for western people because of cold weather the joints are inflexible. After the first food-(breakfast or afternoon food) No work- take rest for 20 minutes
•
Lie down with left side down it opens the surya nadi which is associated with Vam kukshi – Vishnu sheh nag posture –Jatara is intensified.
•
Short nap is also recommended Do not forcibly prevent certain body’s natural functions – sleep is one such After evening food do not sleep for next 2 hours • Reasons? No sun shine in the evening If unable to take nap sit in Vajrasana after first and 2nd food While eating chit and mind to be at peace •
• •
•
Maximum diseases in the world only out of Vata – heart, bone problems, joint problems only.
•
Refined oil introduced in India only a few years back
•
Companies used Doctors to canvass for Refined oil Oil provides =HDL high density lipo protein It is produced in Liver out of the oil consumed
• •
• • • • •
•
How to do it? With Prayer, bajans etc., While sleeping keep in mind the directions Head in the direction of East and legs towards West. If unable head in south direction Head never towards North – It is position of death
•
Sign of pure oil Smell (Bhass- presence of protein, and the slippery (fatty acid) If they are removed oil has nothing.
• •
HDL alone can control vata Till 50 years back, ghee and oil consumed maximum in our country Heart attacks only 15 to 20 years old. All these out of refined/double refined oil Oil that contains maximum bhass and slippery is the best Indian festival different types of oil for different sweets, dishes Three doshas in-equality during different seasons equalized thru different types of dishes
Reason ? East is neutral in gravitation force Gravitation force work between body and earth
•
Cold days = pitta less and Vata increases and Kapha increased maximum
• • •
Earth – North and South poles
•
Body – Head is north pole and legs South pole
•
If slept with Head towards North and legs southForce of repulsion works - like poles repulsesResult? Blood pressure etc., increase, insomnia
Kapha influences jatara and reduces it. During that time food that digests slow only has to be taken.
•
•
If the head towards South and leg towards North – un like poles attract – body stretches – brings relaxation.
•
• •
Antidote for all mental problems
Who can sleep which side? Brahmacharis /Sadus to sleep with head towards East Grahastis = head towards South • Water intake as per body weight • If 60 kg divide it by10 minus 2 = 4 litre water in 24 hours. Lecture No 5 • 15% diseases that need specialist care like cancer, diabetes etc., • Each one can be one specialist, who minutely observe his body • Certain things available in the world that can equalize all three vat, pitt, khapha
•
Certain things available in the world that can equalize only one of the tridoshas Vata can be equalized by only consuming nonrefined pure oil(straight from chakki/machine-nonrefined)
• •
Never consume refined/double refined.-saffola, sunpure, surajmuhki Chemicals used for refining/double refining oils made by man and all are in organic, which is poisonous
•
•
Cold days consume ground nut, chana, jaggery, til, ghee that digest slow. All these items produced maximum during that time. Summer days = Jatara increased- eat things that digest fast
•
Rainy days = Jatara is equal – light food only consumed Pitta can equalized by consuming Native cow’s Ghee Kapha can be equalized by consuming Gud/Honey
• • •
• •
• • •
• • •
•
How Gud helps to equalize Kaph Decrease of Phosphorous reason for Kapha Decrease of Arsenic(in small quantity) another reason for Khapa Gud contains Phosphorous maximum and Arsenic in small quantity Sugar juice also contains Phosphorous in small quantity Sugar has no phosphorous and finally digested is turned into acid Gud finally digested is turned alkaline Heating of sugar juice increased phosphorous Gud can be given to one day old child also Taral Gud = before gud is produced. It has maximum Phosphorus Avoid white gud White gud made by use of Washing Powder-Nirma, Ariel
5
•
Use Copper coloured Gud Gud to be mixed with Curd Gud can not be mixed with milk. It can be eaten separately before milk. • Fruits can also be consumed in good
•
•
Diabetes patients can also consume good quantity Gud with Amla or triphala Sugar contains glucose
•
•
3 types of sugar = Glucose, Suruclose, Fructose
Triphala can be consumed 3 month at a stretch and given a break
• •
Break is not to make it habitual
• • •
Use it with gud or honey
•
• • • • • •
God’s glucose in fruits (Fructose) quantity Til (both while and black) and gud both alkaline to be consumed to balance kapaha Consume both during Winter time Obesity out come of Kapaha
•
PITA increases during summer and rainy consume cow’s ghee
•
Masala items = Medicine Masala an Arabic word Moguls period brought masala word
• •
• •
No mention of Masala in ancient texts
•
Based on this masala items added in food preparations in India to control them
•
Ajwain added to food preparations during after noon food to reduce Pit/acidity Black salt also reduces Pit
Mention of oushadi word Vata – more in the morning Pita-More in the Afternoon Kapha – More in the evening more
•
• • •
• •
To equalize Pit = Jeera – Black jeera the best Hing also reduces Pit Dhania = dry and raw = both can be consumed to reduce Pit To reduce Kaph, Honey, Ginger (dried ginger better quality) Pan –green betel leaf, sofe, lavang, In the God’s scheme, the darker the colour the better
•
•
• •
All three together is Triphala can equalize
Vagbhat write 120 sutras on triphala only Ratio of Triphala= 1:2:3 ( Harde:Behela:Amla100:200:300 grams • Triphala in the Morning and Night
•
Morning with Gud and Honey = It is Nutrient (Poshak)
Obesity = 3 to 4 amlas or 1 TSP triphala taken in the morning can bring it down Amla can be consumed round the year
Obesity means lesser Vit c and Calcium • Amla has lot of Vit C and thus reduces Obesity Lecture No 6 • Triphala = Amruth tatva • Never consume it alone
• •
Methi equalizes Vat and Kapha Methi increases Pitt – acidity, hyper acidity, belching, more saliva in the mouth, taste of food in the mouth hours after eating the food Methi how to use Warm water soak methi overnight and morning chew it and eat
•
Any achar with Methi is medicine or Achar with ajwain is also medicine it tones down the effects fruits in the achar People who eat Pan with chuna after food will never have vat problem
•
Reduction in Calcium in the body bring many diseases- muscle pains, joints pain, bone pains, blood related disease, cough related problems
•
Calcium essential to make use of other micro nutrients in the body. Eg Vit C to work in the body Calcium essential
• •
Milk and its fruits has the maximum calcium
•
Once 40 years is crossed (menses cycle is over) calcium absorption is reduced. Reason? the hormone that helps to digest Calcium is no more produced Hence after 40 years intake of calcium (chuna) is essential Eating pan with chuna is good
•
VAT = Unrefined oil, anything that contains water more is good to equalize vat – eg milk, curd, butter milk, all juices One item that can equalize all the 3 doshas -Amla, Harde, Behela (Emblica Officanallis (amla) Terminalla Chebulla (Haritaki) Terminalla Bellirica (Vibhitaki)
Night Milk or hot water= it cleans stomach (Rechak) Radiation problems cured with Triphalas
• •
• • •
Till 40 years old whatever we consume will provide calcium
Dhal Chini in the powdered form mix it with gud or honey is Good for Vat and Kapha It can remove 50 diseases Cow one of the miracle animals
• •
Cow urine = to equalize Vat, Kapha,
•
Cow urine chemical analysis by Central Drug Research Institute Lucknow
Cow urine can reduce Pita if used along with some medicine

• • •
Water maximum followed by Calcium, sulphur, iron + 18 micro nutrients Jersey cow urine has 3 nutrients Skin problems due to reduction of sulphur
•
Youth starts from 13 or 14 years (not 18 years) =1st stage (0 to 14 years = Kaph more prominent
• • •
15 to 60 age =2nd stage = Pitt more prominent Above 60 = 3rd stage= Vata prominent
•
Fresh cow urine has sulphur in good quantitypsoriasis, eczema, can be easily cured with it
•
TB can be cured- experiments in AIIMS with DOT treatment reduces the time for complete cure to just 2 months
• •
Cancer due to absence of cur cumin chemicals.
