Food cooked in earthen pots contains all these 18micronutrients

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

vesselso 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%

Simple way to be in touch with the soil = use

earthen vessels in kitchen

Refrigerator

o CFCs helps to keep the temperature

below the room temperatures inside therefrigerator

o CFCs- 12 types of gases -Chlorine,

Fluorine, CO2 etc.,

o Chlorine in dictionary meaning = poison

o Fluorine in dictionary meaning = very

poisonouso 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

medicineo Used extensively for Army

o No need for households in India How to overcome the refrigerator?Sutra No 2

consumption

o Out of 360 days in a year only one day

bhasi is allowed to be consumed that ison Bhasi festival -That day the 3 gunas in

the body gets worse. Body needs proteinthat day- To give it , Vagbhat suggestBhasi 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

Global warming another reason for not use of

Refrigerator

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

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

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 wheatLecture No 3

Vagbhat Moksha concept The person who is

free of sorrow and try to remove others un-happiness gets moksha -3 types of unhappiness

How to remove body sorrow- the most important

aspect stomatch-90% problems (nearly 150 typesof diseases) stomach related-10% related to other

parts

How to safe guard from the stomach relatedproblems?

How you eat is more important-eat with

masticationSutra No 6-Drinking water after eating food is equal

to drinking poison

o Jatara in stomach (amashaya) Fire isproduced.

o Food eaten goes to Amashaya-

o If water consumed after eating food it

douses the jatara and the food getsdecomposed instead of digestion-Result?

Gas production- and nearly 103 types ofdiseases acidity, hyper acidity-ulcer,

peptic ulcer, cancer, Increase ofcholesterol/fat

o Proper digestion of food will not create

cholesterol

o Drink water after 1 hours of food-

region wise this differs Uttaranchal it

would be 2 hourso 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 drinkwater in between the two-How much ? 2to 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 isproduced only in the morning

o Butter milk only after afternoon food-

why the enzymes produced only in themorningo Milk after supper

o How to drink water after 1 hours food?

4/10

o 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 waterkept 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 theunwanted things is thrown out

o Water with high surface tension works

opposite and hold back unwantedthings.

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 thealkaline saliva and then mixes the acidic enzymes

and neutralizes both- pH level =7

In whose stomach the acid and alkaline is similarto water will live 100 years.

Obesity reduced only by changing the waterdrinking habits

Never drink cold water

Drink water temperature of which is equal to

body temperature- never above the bodytemperature.

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 energyand 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 createsconstipation

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 donot waste it-1 to 1 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 Eye problem fat specks by applying

morning saliva to eye like kajal

o Conjunctivitis- apply saliva

o Black eyes- black circles around the sun

apply saliva

o What is the content of Saliva same

chemicals as in the soil 18 micronutrients

o Eczema, Psoriases saliva can cure

o Eating pan with chuna (1 gram without

supari and tobacoo) is recommendedLecture No 4

Have a regular food timing

Take food when the jatara is extreme

Jatara time peaks till 2 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 heartattacks 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 wishthe 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 happySupper 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 outputo 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 itis 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

5/10

Pavanamuktasan or Kagasan suggested while

eating for those doing physical work

Dining table for western people because of coldweather 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 suryanadi which is associated with Vam kukshi

Vishnu sheh nag posture Jatara is intensified.

Short nap is also recommended

Do not forcibly prevent certain bodys natural

functions sleep is one suchAfter evening food do not sleep for next 2 hours

Reasons? No sun shine in the eveningIf unable to take nap sit in Vajrasana after first

and 2nd food

While eating chit and mind to be at peace

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 directionHead never towards North It is position of death

Reason ? East is neutral in gravitation force

Gravitation force work between body and earth

Earth North and South poles

Body Head is north pole and legs South pole

If slept with Head towards North and legs south-

Force of repulsion works - like poles repulses-Result? Blood pressure etc., increase, insomnia

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 in24 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 canequalize all three vat, pitt, khapha

Certain things available in the world that canequalize only one of the tridoshas

Vata can be equalized by only consuming non-

refined pure oil(straight from chakki/machine-non-refined)

Never consume refined/double refined.-saffola,

sunpure, surajmuhki

Chemicals used for refining/double refining oilsmade by man and all are in organic, which is

poisonous

Sign of pure oil Smell (Bhass- presence of protein,

and the slippery (fatty acid)

If they are removed oil has nothing.

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

HDL alone can control vata

Till 50 years back, ghee and oil consumedmaximum 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 seasonsequalized thru different types of dishes

Cold days = pitta less and Vata increases and

Kapha increased maximum

Kapha influences jatara and reduces it.

During that time food that digests slow only has tobe taken.

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

consumedPitta can equalized by consuming Native cows 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) anotherreason for Khapa

Gud contains Phosphorous maximum and Arsenic

in small quantity

Sugar juice also contains Phosphorous in smallquantity

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 hasmaximum Phosphorus

Avoid white gud

White gud made by use of Washing Powder-Nirma,

Ariel

5


6/10

Use Copper coloured Gud

Gud to be mixed with CurdGud 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

Gods 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 cows ghee

Masala items = Medicine

Masala an Arabic word

Moguls period brought masala word

No mention of Masala in ancient texts

Mention of oushadi word

Vata more in the morningPita-More in the AfternoonKapha More in the evening more

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

To equalize Pit = Jeera Black jeera the best

Hing also reduces Pit

Dhania = dry and raw = both can be consumed toreduce Pit

To reduce Kaph, Honey, Ginger (dried ginger

better quality) Pan green betel leaf,sofe, lavang,

In the Gods scheme, the darker the colour the

better

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) All three together is Triphala can equalize

Vagbhat write 120 sutras on triphala only

Ratio of Triphala= 1:2:3 ( Harde:Behela:Amla-100:200:300 grams

Triphala in the Morning and Night

Morning with Gud and Honey = It is Nutrient

(Poshak)

Night Milk or hot water= it cleans stomach

(Rechak)

Radiation problems cured with Triphalas

Obesity = 3 to 4 amlas or 1 TSP triphala taken in

the morning can bring it down

Amla can be consumed round the year

Triphala can be consumed 3 month at a stretch andgiven a break

Break is not to make it habitual

Obesity means lesser Vit c and Calcium

Amla has lot of Vit C and thus reduces ObesityLecture No 6

Triphala = Amruth tatva

Never consume it alone

Use it with gud or honey

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 morningchew it and eat

Any achar with Methi is medicine or Achar with

ajwain is also medicine it tones down the effectsfruits 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

Till 40 years old whatever we consume will

provide calcium

Once 40 years is crossed (menses cycle is over)

calcium absorption is reduced. Reason? thehormone that helps to digest Calcium is no more

produced

Hence after 40 years intake of calcium (chuna) isessential

Eating pan with chuna is good

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 can reduce Pita if used along with some

medicine

Cow urine chemical analysis by Central Drug

Research Institute Lucknow

6


7/10

Water maximum followed by Calcium, sulphur,

iron + 18 micro nutrients

Jersey cow urine has 3 nutrients

Skin problems due to reduction of sulphur

Fresh cow urine has sulphur in good quantity-

psoriasis, eczema, can be easily cured with it

TB can be cured- experiments in AIIMS withDOT treatment reduces the time for completecure to just 2 months

Cancer due to absence of cur cumin chemicals.

It is available in cow urine in abundance quantity

in digestible form.

48 diseases out of Vata,Pita and Kapha can be

cured out of cow urine

Take it early morning on empty stomach

100 grams for critical stage

50 ml litres for others or 1/3rd of a cup

Cow which walks, and not tied one shed.

Jersey cows tied

Cow is Mata -has 33 cr Gods iside

Meaning of Koti = Crore (Number)

Meaning of Koti = Prakar (types)

Gomutra resides Dhanwatari = in cow urine

(many diseases can be cured

Gomaye vasati Laxmi (in Gobar /Manure in the

field) and gas= more income

17 Cr cows in India

1 cow = 10 kg gobar

40 kg dung in 40 days yields 1 kg LPG

170 Cr kilo cow dung per day

With availability cow assets 50% of the crude oil

imports and LPG can be reduced

Indias Crude Oil imports Rs.2,80,000 Cr

Delhi IIT, cars run on compressed bio-gas

All eye related problems Sight problems,

glaucoma, cataract, retinal detachment, eardischarge, all are Kafa related.

One drop every day cow urine cleaned thru cloth

Nasal discharge cow ghee in nose

Insomnia one drop cow ghee in nose- soundsleep

Snoring one drop cow ghee in nose in 3 days
