BLANCED DIET ...IN.. CHIT... SHUDDHI SADHANA

BALANCED DIET......What ever we eat to keep our body fit is called food, but what a pity that we know so little about our food that we take every day to keep fit from our birth to death.Simply filling the stomach ,or taking what so ever come our way that fill our stomach ,is not food.FOODS which promote longevity, truthfullness, intelligence, vigour, health. happiness, cheerfulness, and which are juciy,easily digestable,easily available,and naturally agreeable to dear to sadhak. Acording to viriti (sabbhav or nature) as said in HOLY GEETA....There are three types of in the world, accordingly there are three types of food....
TAMSIC.....A quality that produce inertia, laziness, and infatuation.
RAJASIC....A quality of Prakriti that produces passion and motion.

In bhagvat Gita Lord Krishna has described the kind of food is satvic food, which produce satvik nature in a person.For developing Satvic vriti, food that should be taken can only be a VEGETARIAN FOOD AND THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND ALSO IN MEASURED QUANTITY,AND OF RIGHT QUALITY. THIS IS CALLED BALANCED DIET.

6....Take salaad before taking meals ...like cucumber, cabbage, tomato, raddish, carrot, spinach etc. By taking salaad one can minimise the intake of water in between the meals.
7....Donot take too hot and too cold food.
8.... Too much of spicy and fried foods are harm full.
9....The food we take should be the outcome of our hard labour and honest earning. It is saying...THE MIND REFLECTS WHAT WE EAT.
10....The main purpose of a sadhak life is to live and to relish delicious food. Delicious dishes prompt us to over eating and overeating is vary harmfull for health . Bear in mind EAT LESS AND LIVE LONGER, EAT MORE AND LIVE LESS. .

CHIT--SHUDI SADHANA........... TRATAK (STEADY GAZING )

TRATAK OR STEADY GAZING............. It is important kirya in chit shudi sadhana.It is a steady gazing at a point or object without winking. when the eyes are open, there should be no winking at all, and when they are closed the pupil of the eye should be steady. In reality it is simple method by which a person can increase his or her concentration of mind, and mental stability.By gazing constantly at one object a person become stable in thoughts and actions. Tratak becomes SHAMBHAVI MUDRA, when the sadhak is supposed to fix his gaze at the space between the two eye-brows. There can be any object.... it may be flame of candle (JYOTI), AN IDOL OF A DIETY, face in the mirror, a flower, sunrise, moon rise, a star, a natural scene, etc... which you feel good.
TECHNIQUE OF TRATAK......Sit in any pose which you feel better, keep the neck and spine erect , rest the hands on the knees. keep the object on reasonable height in front of eyes at distance of about 3 ft.

2nd stage....Gaze at the flame without winking as long as the eyes are not filled with water, close the eyes gently, open the eyes gaze at the flame again as before, Do this for a week for 15 to 20 minutes.
3rd stage.....Gazing at the flame continuously in the same way and visualising the flame mentally with closed eyes, maintained the stability of mind. Concentrate it with the mind eyes open. Close the eyes and stay in this position as long as you can.After some time the external form of flame will disappear and the flame will glow from insight. NOW DO PRACTISE THIS DAILY FOR FEW MINUTES, VISUALISE THE FLAME MENTALLY AND DO NOT LEAVE THE PRACTICE TILL PERFECTION. At the end end open the eyes and wash the eyes with cold water.

LAUGHTER.....AND ITS EFFECT ON THE BODY

LAUGHTER.......It is old saying, that if you weep you will weep alone, if you laugh the whole world will laugh with you.Man to day is so occupied with worldy activities and so much involved with stress and strain of day today  life that he had hardly any time to laugh. at every point he is involved with accumulating earthy material,his life is filled with more expectations,sadness,disappointments and desondency.Indeed,Man has become today a abject character of pathos.
LAUGHTER IS A NATURAL ACTIVITY,an activitythat in no time reduces all the dreadfull circumstances of life to dust.Laughterexcercises a miraculous effect on all systems of our body  namely Digestive system, the Respiratory system, Circulatory system and the glandular system.Old saying, that the wealthiest man is he who  knows the secret of happiness. PRACTISING DAILY LAUGHER reveals that physical laughter is slowly converted to inner happiness. When we laugh from our inner core of heart our face shine with the luster of laughter, we become the center of attraction but no one stand with us when we weep.It is but natural that a businessman who sell his articles to his customers with a smile on his face will attract more and more of customers towards him self. In the same way , an employee who caries all his duties with smile on his face gains confidence and admiration of his BOSS.
Let us include practise of laughing in our daily SADHANA ONLY FOR FEW MINUTES,and make our life free of stress ,depression ,and tension.Let us make our face more lustrous and activate each and every cell of our body.
TYPES OF LAUGHTER..........There are four type of laughter....
(A)....Smiling.....feeling a waves of inner happiness on your face.
(B).....Laughing with mouth shut......Keeping the mouth closed, laugh from inner side so that your whole body shake with laughter.
(C)....Slient Laughing......Keep the mouth open and laugh from inner heart without producing any sound.
(D)Loud laughing.......Laugh freely , loudly, without any hitch, keeping the mouth open , like ha  ha ha  ha ha ha  ha  ho ho ho  ho continuously for few minutes, it may that tears come in to your eyes.

BEAR IN MIND DO NOT LAUGH ON OTHERS BUT LAUGH WITH OTHERS, SHARE THEIR LAUGHTRS  LAUGH WITH FULLEST  HO  HA  HA HO HO .

PRAYER.....IN CHIT SHUDHI SADHANA...GAYTRI MANTRA

PRAYER......
The prayer is made to one who is far more sublime and power full and more superior to those human beings who prays. Never does a truthfully,and humble prayer go unanswered.

By virtue of this a person become fearless, a weak person become power full and a sinner become pure.When a person prays by closing his or her eyes deep from his or heart their prayer do not go waste.All aspirations are full filled. We get every thing what we wish. PRAYER brings face to face with God.All our sins are pardon.
Prayer involves two phases --one who offers the prayer and the another to whom it is offered .The best form of prayer is impersonal, for the good of others and not for our selfishness.MAY ALL THE WORLDS BE HAPPY. MAY ALL PEOPLE BE HAPPY. MAY ALL BE FREE FROM DISEASE. MAY ALL SEE GOOD THINGS. NONE MAY SUFFER FROM ANY DISEASE..... LET TO DAY WE DO GAYTRI MANTAR......

SWADHYAY

To know one's ownself is Swadhyay. Acording to Shri Vinoba Bhave,Swadhyay is the study of one subject, which is the basis or roots of all other subjects or actions upon which other rest, but which itself doesnot rest upon any thing. in other words,Swadhyay is the study of the subject and not the object. Study of self or self analysis, what is this... how can we know it...Such questioning if sincerely pursued can lead us to self realisation.

swadhyay implies both studying scriptures and studying your own experiences leading to self realization. by constantly being aware and observing our thoughts ,actions and reactions, we can begin to understand what is that makes us act and react negitively or egoistically in any given situations, and then try to correct the old, unwanted conditions which are blurring our vision.through the practise of SWADHYAY, we can see where we are making mistakes in our life and rectify things by adjusting and adapting our behaviour and thinking. How can we act in the right time ,say right things and think the right thought without rocking the boat of life-THIS IS THE RESULT OF SWADHYAY OR SELF REALIZATION. Once we master it we will be able to glide our life smoothly and coolly and cheerfully.The person who practise Swadhyay thinks all people are the creation of GOD .THE BHAGWAT GITA STATES THAT ONE WHO SEES GOD IN EVERY BODY AND EVERY BODY IN GOD IS TRULY A REALISED SOUL. SUCH A RADICAL UNIVERSALITY SEEMS TO BE IN FOUNDATION AND IDEAL OF SWADHYAY.

Through the practise of swadhyay we can understand our ownself in a better way .By the process of self-analysis, we not only come to know and accept our limitations, habits,potential,etc, but also come to know how to act appropriately in any situation according to our abilities and needs.SATSANGS is the best way to know about Swadhyay.COMPANY OF THOSE MASTERS WHO HAVE ATTAINED SELF REALIZATION.There is no better way than Satsang for the refine ment of SELF.

yoga and hypertension

Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by the blood vessel against any unit area of vessel wall and it is always measured in mmHg. if we say that a pressure in the vessel is 100mm Hg it means that the force exerted is sufficient to push the column of mercury up to 100 mm. hypertension should not be considered as a disease it is a state in which blood pressure is maintain at 140 mmHg SYSTOLIC or more and 90 mmHg DIASTOLIC or more.It is hypertension.

The quantity of blood that passes a given point in the circulation in a given period of time is termed as blood flow.Maintenance of normal blood pressure depends upon balance between cardiac out put and peripheral vascular resistance, determined by how much smooth muscles of arteries contract. there must be a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous control.

main causes of hypertension are stress,lack of physical exercise,overeating,over weight, faulty foods habits, smoking,make the arteries harder and by this the peripheral blood vessel become narrow and giving rise to increased peripheral vascular resistance thus increasing systolic and diastolic blood pressure. as the blood pressure rises the person become restless and feel heaviness in head. continuously rise in BP brings about paralytic attack ,impairment to renal function by which kidney fail.Daily yoga practise and having simple diet, doing assans of Yoga one can control hypertension.
