AYURVEDA TIPS

6 types of Health -- Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Financial, Social, Friendship

Disease manifests after 1.     Chaya (sanchaya – accumulation), 2.     Prakopa (aggravation), 3.     Prasara, (spreading- entering into blood)4.     Sthana samsraya (to get some place to manifest itself) and 5.     Vyakta avastha (janma janmanthar krte pape they get full disease)

A disease is a state when symptoms are completely expressed; before that it has to go through the previous four steps.Weakness or viral fever etc is a prior state of disease; they are not disease.

Three doshas in the body (cannot be seen like electricity in wire) are entities.Vata – kinetic energy, (nervous system)pitta – metabolic energy, (harmonal secretion)kapha – potential energy in the body

SB 10.63 Krishna to Siva jvara : ‘I am happy with you and I bless you…’Mind is called Sattva and has only 2 doshas, not 3 – Raja and TamasThe state of sattva is natural for the mind and when the mind is in a diseased state, then the trishira becomes disturbed.(eg) even a soft rope can make impression on a rockA Vaishnava should be coolheaded in fighting against lower natures.

Vraddhi svadhamnaiva sarvesham vipareetaih viparyayah‘if accumulation is going on, do opposite of that’for eg in the evening if you have a heavy stomach, drop one evening meal.Don’t allow Chaya to become Prakopa.

In Prakopa it becomes intense and you get strange feelings, not able to work.The moment you feel uneasy, ‘langhanam parama aushadham’Withdraw everything - food and other things also. Just chant 64 rounds that day.Do 100% langanam - stop management, preachingIt is only due to Raja and Tama it has come to Prakopa. Don’t increase it.Raja, Tama -> Prakopa -> increases Raja and TamaThis war will continue till the last day of our life.

When it enters into Prasara avasthaIf Krishna is always in your heart then Raja Tama who are waiting outside cannot get in; but as soon as you forget Krishna, they’ll enter inside.If the food that you ate got support of Raja and Tama -> sthana samsrayaThe best vaishnava is one who has complete control over senses

Sometimes by birth one may have weakness or disease.A doctor will at least not allow the disease to arise from one level to above level.Make your eating, behaviour, sleeping etc conducive and sattvic to keep peacefulAti Snigdhani, teekshnani, cintyanam ati cintanaat On Ekadashi day, eat ‘akela kelaa’ ‘eat only banana’ it has iron; will bring out stool.Vyayama ardha shaktena – whatever total power or energy you have, use half of your energy for doing exercise – jogging. Use only half your energy for doing WORK.

Yada tu manasi klaante (tired) tadaa svapati maanavahSleep is never for the body; it is only for the mind.

When you get severe pain at a point and you tell the doctor, “here I feel pain”, it comes to Vyakta avastha (possibly Cancer). When you come to that stage, immediately calm down your mind and focus on the Lord.

Be like sun; no ifs and buts. Work like the sun.Morning motion is v.important. Kapha kaal starts at 10 pm at night. Before that retire to bed. 9:45 pm latest be at bed. Sleep blissfully, peacefully; don’t take any tension while retiring to bed. Never wait to be knocked by tiredness.

Vaishnava nidra is very deep and he will be fresh in 3 to 4 hours of sleep.Otherwise, if eyeballs are wavering that means he is dreaming.

2 hrs REM (Rotory Eyeball Movement) – 4 hrs NREM – 2 hrs REMFirst and last 2 hrs are practically useless.

We have to be qualified and peaceful in Mind. First keep sattva. Don’t allow sanchaya, prasara, sthana samsraya.Don’t expect too much; don’t exhaust yourself; don’t work too much.

1 time eat – yogi, 2 times eat – bhogi, 3 times eat – Rogi, 4 times eat – finished.

Best time to eat is 10:00 am in morning, and second meal at 7:30 pm .

From brahma muhurta to 9:30 is kapha kal - don’t eat anything in this period. Eating in kapha kal makes one feel heavy stomach.
