Brief about Yoga - Special Edition

Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,

Yoga having two steps. The first stage called “Hatayoga” and the higher stages known as “Rajayoga”.

The ‘Hatayoga’ very well explained in the text called ‘Hatayoga pradeepika’ written by Swami Swathmarama. 

This text narrated in simple words which can easily grasp to anyone and accepted by all the ancient sages of India.

The stages of hatayoga like ‘yoga asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ etc. are getting universally accepted by this period.

Yoga explained by Swami Kuvalayananda as follows..

“Yoga has a complete message for the humanity,

It has a message for the human body,

It has a message for the human mind,

It has a message for the human soul".

Yoga is the Science of Man; a philosophy of Life; a code of Conduct; and an Art of Living.

 It represents a total approach to life and the entire range of its problems,physical,mental,moral,and spiritual.

 It is for this reason that Yoga is capable of bringing about a complete transformation of man and sublimate him from the animal existence to the sublime heights of divinity. 

May be, some day Yoga would succeed in making the world a better place to live in where a number of other methods failed.  (Justice H.L.Anand)

The  text Hatayoga pradeepika may be written between AD 1350 – 1550.

 In ancient India yoga were in practice even decades before. 

According to Max Muller,Yoga was practicing in India about 6000 years ago.

The yoga science first taught to Parvathi Devi by Lord Paramasiva.

 Hatayoga is the way to Raja yoga,says Swami Swatmarama.

 The other ancient practitioners were ‘Matsyendra,Gorakshan etc who all blessed swami swatmarama to learn this science and wrote ‘hatayogapradeepika’.

The sorrows affecting the humanity is generally due to three reasons like Physical and Mental; External factors and animals; and the third category spiritual.

For the complete fulfillment of yoga one should practice with complete dedication and sincerity. 

Then only we can attain the benefits of Yoga.

Hatayogi should not affected by any kind of physical and mental stress from the surroundings.

The yogi should live in a place where calm and quit,without any windows,the entry door should be very small,the floor should be pasted with cow dung,the floor should be leveled and equal,should be protected from insects and reptiles. 

And should have a hall and a well near by.

When some one learn yoga,he should know only about yoga he should don't even think about any other matters. 

It is said for the complete involvement in the science and hence achieve the ‘Liberation’.

The Yoga fails when over eating,Hard and stressful work,excess talk,unsafe contacts,wavering mind etc will lead to the failure of Yoga.

To the achievement of Yoga; one should have Enthusiasm,Courage,Adventurous,knowledge about the principles and philosophy,complete dedication and should stay away from the contact from the surroundings.

Acidity - Tips to Control

Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,

Here is a list of simple Health Tips which help to control the Acidity.

Acidity has got a well defined link with the mind.

When the mind is calm,the digestive secretions will be in a very balanced state.

 So the mind power exercises will be definitely helpful. 

Yoga and meditation will do wonders.

 Can try out the "Pranayama" sessions.

Practice timely food in take.

 Stomach should not leave empty during the regular diet schedule.

 The digestive enzymes and acids will work on a timely rhythm.

 If there is nothing to digest then it will work on the intestinal mucous lining.

 After a prolonged period it will lead to the ulceration of the stomach wall.

 As the acid secretions continues it is very difficult to heal the intestinal ulcer it can even lead to the cancerous conditions.

This condition should be treated at the earliest.

In Ayurveda texts explained many combinations which works as the alkali.

 Hence it balances the acid reflex.

Thin butter milk boiled with turmeric powder,curry leaves and garlic will help,we can add the external sheath of the pomegranate fruit also. It is very good effective.

Ayurveda physicians usually prescribes the 
"Dadimashtaka choornam" + Honey to be taken twice daily before food. (Consult your Physician for further advise)

 The main ingredient is the shell cover of the  pomegranate fruit.

Hope these simple write up give you a brief about the condition.
