YOGAND SELF CONFIDENCEENABLED ME TO STAND ON MY

OWN LEGSRespected Swamiji MaharajHere I am, Dinesh Jagaanath

Vahar from Dhule, Maharashtra, towrite this letter to you. Swamiji, 3years ago, in a road accident, both of my legs had been crushed. Takingbones from my back, I was operatedup on my legs. Pieces of bones were

joined with the help of steel rods,plates, screws and wires. Hope of success was least. Doctors were of the opinion that I will be able to standwith the help of crutches but I hadvowed not to touch such gadgets andhad taken firm decision to walk onmy own legs. A lot of power came tome to stand against such odds justbecause of you.

Swamiji, in those days I used tosee you on the TV. I used to do someyoga exercises. But after accident, I

was in the bed and started doing someAnulome Vilome and Kapaal bharti.Everyday in the morning, I used todo some yoga pranayaam in yourpresence on the TV. It was a greatmiracle that I regained my brokenbones back. My lifeless legs had a stirof life and with in one year I was ableto stand on my own legs.

Swamiji it was a miracle and no-body believed that I will able to walk

with my own legs. I had faith on godand trust in you. In fact, I owe mysuccess to you and you are god forme.

I pay my highest regards to youDinesh Vahar

COMPLETE RIDDANCE FROMPROSTATE AND URINARY DIS-

EASES

Respected Swami Ramdev jiSwamiji, I myself belong to a fam-

ily of Vaidyas’ and I am myself anayurvedic practitioner. Still, I had toundergo an operation, but even afterthat weakness of urinary bladder per-sisted. However, as per your instruc-tions given in the Bhopal shivir and

their after, I used ayurvedic medicinesand practiced yog kriyas and now Iam completely healthy.

In Jain dharma, abhaydaan is thehighest sort of charity as regardsmyself, I got such abhaydaan fromyour good self and it has given me anew life.

Great benefactor saints of the na-tion like you may live long.

Lot of respects and benevolenceunto you

Yours sincerelyB K Jain Vaidya,

WARTS DISAPPEARED WITH THEPRACTICE OF PRANAYAAM

Respected SwamijiI had developed on my nose a wart

of about 1 inch size. I used to feelashamed on that account. Out of help-lessness, every 3rd or 4th day, I usedto cut it with the help of a blade andhad to bear a lot of pain. In fact, awart is a life like thing. Cutting of wart caused a lot of bleeding. Withthe help of cotton, I used to wipe theblood oozing out of it. However, thewart continued to grow rapidly. Later,I saw your programmes of yoga andpranayaam on the TV and startedpracticing yoga and pranayaam ev-eryday just for 30 minutes at homeitself. I also started joining your Yogashivirs. At that time, I used to prac-tice Kapaalbharti and Anuloom Vilomfor just half an hour everyday. I con-tinued this practice for a period of 2years regularly. Gradually the wartvanished.

This fact I concealed for severalyears. I remember the severity of painI had to face on cutting of the wartwhich was growing very rapidly andwas taking a strange shape on thenose. It so happened 3 years back,

now that wart has disappeared. Infact, it is the effect of the inspirationI received indirectly from you swamijithat I was relieved from the problemof wart. It has added to my faith inthe yoga.

Yours SincerelySatish Uppsdhyaya

These obstacles come in the way of yoga prac-titioner in the form of diseases, laziness, careless-ness and uncertainty. One can overcome these ob-stacles by the purity of mind and focused concen-tration. One has to continue his practice with strongdetermination and patience.

In order to overcome the obstacles likely to be facedby a yoga practitioner, Maharishi Patanjali has found

Vaidya Sushant Mishra, Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar

Over eating is like a frivolous act for health. Gen-erally, in order to satiate our hunger, we devour all suchfood we find. While doing so, we do not take care That

what we are eating is beneficial or harmful for ourhealth. We take tea, coffee, namkeen and other friedfood such as kachori etc. with fondness but that is not aright habit because in that case our body is likely to

contact several diseases including mainly the diseaseof high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease or pertain-ing to kidney. Almost every year, a large no of peoplefall prey to such ailments and die an untimely death.

In this article, we have made a mention of all thesethings because we should not take excessive food and

should eat only such things which are not harmful butbeneficial for our body. Along with this, we will like to

say certainly something about fast. Food in our life hasspecial significance. Similarly, fast also has a importantplace in our life. In a way, fast is a friend of our healthbecause fasting provides an opportunity to rest for the

digestive system of our body. It also gives a chance torest for all our body organs if you want to keep a friendlyrelation with your good health, make some space forfast in your life.

There are a number of ways of fasting in our coun-try. You would like to tell our readers that skipping break-

fast or under eating or taking food only once a day cannot be called fast. While fasting, people generally take

a larger quantity of Aloo chat, pakoras, porridge of kuttu, ground nuts and such other things. Some peoplebreak their fast with staple food like chappatis’, daaland rice or other sweets or halwa. These ways of break-

ing fast are all together wrong because by doing it weinvite several diseases in our body. It also creates adisorder in our blood system and activates the silentsymptoms of disease in our body. Some people keepfast without taking water. This system of keeping fastis harmful for the body.

Since ancient times, Indian people have a system of keeping fast on the occasion of traditional festivities butthey do not know that fasting has a special significance

in respect of health. Mostly, only ladies keep fast andaim of every lady keeping such fast are quite different.

Unmarried girl keep fast with a wish of finding a goodlife partner, while the married women observe fast forlong life of their partners or to have an issue or to attainthe objective of peace and happiness for their family.Since, all such fasts kept by the ladies do not have anyobjective pertaining to their health, they are not able tomaintain good health even after keeping fast. The rea-son is that while keeping fast, they are least aware of the scientific importance of the same.

According to one’s religion and work, almost all the

persons should keep one fast in a week. All the days of week are auspicious in themselves. On Monday, thepeople who have loose temperament with advancing

age should keep fast because Monday is the day of moon and on this day, Sun, Moon and the earth are insuch a position that they have a peaceful effect on ourbody. In order to get good results of all our deeds, weshould keep fast on Tuesday. The people with weak mind and willing to attain spiritual knowledge should

keep fast on Wednesday because Wednesday is theday of attaining enlightenment. The people with shal-low thinking and mentality should keep fast on Thurs-

day. The patients of premature ejaculation or those suf-fering from Prameh should keep fast on Friday becauseFriday promotes virility, prowess, Weller, beauty and

quantity of semen. In order to get rid of all sorts of troubles and difficulties, one should keep fast on Satur-day. Sunday is the day of Sun. In order to get goodhealth and virility, one should keep fast on Sunday. Itshould be seen that for one day fast, no prior prepara-tion of any sort is required. One day fast can be ob-

served any time. On the next day of fast, we should

Food in our life has special significance. Similarly, fast also has a important place in our

life. In a way, fast is a friend of our health because fasting provides an opportunity to rest

for the digestive system of our body. It also gives a chance to rest for all our body organs.If

you want to keep a friendly relation with your health, make some space for fast in your life.

items of food will provide sufficient quantity of proteinto the person observing fast.

For sufficient quantity of vitamins during the periodof fast, the person concern should take green vegetableslike parwal, gourd and tomato along with lemon waterwhich will provide him with Vitamin C. Even fruits may

give a number of vitamins to the person keeping fast.

Besides that, vegetables, fruits and dry fruits may pro-vide sufficient quantity of anti oxidants.

During the period of fasting, the person on fast takessuch food items which contains a very meager quantityof carbohydrates which are very difficult to digest.

Therefore, the flour of kuttu or singada (water chest-nut) or savan rice should be used only after proper cook-ing, the same may be used with messed boiled pota-toes. Instead of eating deep fried puris or pakoras of kuttu or singada, one should take singada or kuttu in theform of chilla, kheer, upma or kadhi etc. Dry fruits and

makhanas have lesser quantity of carbohydrates. There-

fore, stomach should not be filled with its preparationsduring fasting and vegetables, fruits, soups, juices orsalad of cucumber should be preferred. It will not in-crease the body weight. Moreover, it will add to theluster of the skin. That will give you strength and re-

duce the size of the tummy.Fried food contains transfats which increase the level

of cholesterol and acidity in the body. Acidity in thestomach may lead to other physical ailments like pepticulcer or angina. Intake of greater quantity of fat leadsto increases the size of tummy and level of blood pres-sure. During fasting a small quantity of desi ghee may

be used. While cooking food for fast, one should roastthe preparation, instead of deep frying.

During the days of fast, rock salt is used. However,one should know that it is not a refined product. A rock salt should always be used in the form of solution after

proper straining of the same. Several researches havepointed out that intake of non refined salts may lead toseveral complications in the body.

During the period of fast, one should always eat homepreparations. Only one type of food items should betaken and one should not depend only on sweet eat-

ables during the fast. One should never use greasy and

heavy food during this period. Nursing mothers, preg-nant ladies, children, heart and diabetes patients andother patient should not keep fast.

How to Break Fast At the time of breaking fast,a lot of additional precautions are necessary. Readersshould know that fasting for a longer period is no doubteasy but very difficult to break. In case, the fast is notbroken properly, a lot of deadly consequences might befaced by the person concerned. It may lead even to thedeath of the person. You should know that during the

period of fast the digestive system of the person be-comes weak. Therefore, while breaking the fast, theperson should use the mixture of water and fruit juiceto prepare the digestive system for accepting the foodonce again,

Orange juice gets digested within 1 and a half hour.

Therefore, one should take one cup of orange juice and

one cup of water in the first 2 – 3 hours. In case, onedoesn’t have orange juice, he should take 10 – 12 piecesof raisin or 20 – 30 pieces of Kishmis crushed in water.

For the next 2 – 3 days of breaking the fast, oneshould take the juice or soup of tinda, torai, parwal or

gourd. On the 4th day, use of vegetables, fruits andcoarse meal is a right thing. On the 5th day, boiled veg-etables with one or two chapaatis may be taken. Dalrice or curd may also be started. In this way, it is gradu-ally that one may come back to the normal diet. Whilebreaking fast, one should take sufficient quantity of water.

Uses of Fast

The latest researches have established that fastingadds to the years of life and slowing down of metabolicprocess leads to the lesser formation of free radicals inthe body which keeps one healthy. In case of gout, jointpains, disorders of the digestive system, asthma, piles,

psoriases, eczema, swelling, obesity, leanness and sev-eral other physical disorders, the process of fasting ishighly beneficial. Fasting wards off several disordersof the body, mind and soul. It also has its hygienic ad-vantages.

In the end, we would like to give you a piece of advice that if you are a patient of high blood pressure,

Every human being sweats. Sweating is a good signfor the skin but some people sweat, they smell bad.

Their sweat has a odour which compels people to run

away from them. Not that they are not aware about the

odour. Such people sometimes suffer from inferiority

complex. This article is specifically for people with body

odour.

It is seen that after doing a certain amount of physi-

cal work people sweat a lot. In fact their clothes get

drenched in the sweat and bad smell starts coming from

their body. Actually it’s a wrong belief that sweat smells.

The reality is that sweat does not have a pungent smell

but it does have some mild odour. After drying of sweat

the organic matter left is attacked by the bacteria and

they multiply in numbers. These bacteria live on the

skin and become active whenever given a chance.

This results in bad odour from the body. After tough

physical exercise, the acryin sweat glands found all over

our body become active. Any kind of physical exercise

makes these glands secrete a lot of water as compare

to organic matter. As a result bacteria in that lives on

the skin cannot become active most of the time and

there is no bad smell. But when a person is tensed,

nervous, angry or aggressive the body secretion of

epocrime sweat glands increases. Such glands are found

in a few areas of the body like underarms. Such glands

secrete cold water, this way the organic matter is left

back on the skin and the bacteria gets a chance to mul-

tiply and spread bad odour. People wearing tight fitted

or synthetic clothes smell the most as bacteria gets a

better opportunity to multiply. An important factor about

these glands is that they start multiplying when a per-

son enters teenage and follow them till they reach adult-

hood. Later these glands become inactive.

Normally it is said that men secrete sweat with bad

odour and women secrete sweet smelling sweat. It has

no basis. Both genders secrete similar sweat.

Some people use antiperspirants or deodorants to

get rid of the bad body odour. Antiperspirants are used

to stop the sweat from secreting and deodorants are

used to stop the bad smell in the sweat. Deodorants

normally help in increasing the bacteria present and an-

tiperspirants kill the bacteria but at times the skin gets

irritated by it and might face allergy.

Why does the sweat stink?

When sweat is secreted from the skin pores it is

odourless. Sweat secretes urea, salt, protein and fat

with it. If the sweat on the skin does not evaporate, the

bacteria, fat and protein present in the sweat get acti-

vated and turn the sweat into ammonia. This is the rea-

son that sweats starts stinking.

Why do we Sweat?

Human skin has at least 20 lakh sweat glands un-

derneath. These sweat glands help secrete sweat. Ev-

ery gland has small minute tubes. These tubes open up

on the surface of the skin. Through these glands the

Sweating is a good sign for the skin but some people sweat,

they smell bad. Their sweat has a bad smell which compels people

to run away from them. Not that they are not aware about the

odour. Such people sometimes suffer from inferiority complex.

To digest wholesome food bodyutilises its own energy, but with juicy

and liquid food not much body en-

ergy is needed for digestion. Juicy

and liquid food play a major role to

give us energy. In liquid form of

foods, fruit juice is the best and it

helps take out the toxins from the

body. Good sugar is produced in the

body which makes the body strong.

Why are fruit juices helpful

Orange, sweet lime, grapes and

pomegranate, juices are consid-

ered the best. Sometimes grape

fruit juice is considered benefi-

cial when reducing weight.

For putting on some kilos orange,

sweetlime, carrot, grapes and

pomegranate juices are the best.

Milk, curd, matha are also con-

sidered to be energetic liquids.

To gain weight take juices with

milk, curd and matha. This also

helps in detoxifying the body.

Juices should be taken in three

hours interval. First glass of juice

at 6 am it should be lemon, with

20 grams of honey and water.

From morning 8 am to evening 8

pm juices can be taken. The time

is divided somewhat like this 8

am, 11 am,2 pm, 5 pm and 8 pm.

Initially take 250 grams of juice

and gradually increase 50 grams

then the 2nd day increase 300

grams, 3rd day 350 grams, 4th day

400 grams.

Juices and liquids quantity canbe increased to 500 to 600

grams. It is advisable to take liq-

uid diet for 30-40 days. Always

rest after intake of juice or any

other liquid. Incase after 2 to 3

hours stomach feels heavr and

pain occurs then take it as an in-

dication of over drinking of juice.

Reduce the quantity next time.

Effect of Liquid diet on the body When liquid diet is started the

body can show various sighns

loke loose motion, weakness,

stomachache , headache, sour

taste in the mouth,lack of sleep,

fever, body pain etc. All these

symptoms are normal. Infact

these symptoms are a sign that

the body is getting detoxicated.

Dont go for symptomatic treat-ment it will subside on its own.

Liquid diet will help reduce some

weight but itsnothing to worry.

Grapes play a major role as most

of sugar comes from it. Sugar

from grapes goes directly inthe

veins and makes them strong.

When veins are strong the en-

ergy reaches the other body

parts and thus starts the cleans-

ing of the body. Body is detoxi-

fied.

After Liquid Diet

After 30 to 60 days of liquid diet

gradually start normal diet. Ini-

tially take only juice start with aschedule like 8. am, then 2.pm

and in the night at 8.pm. But in

between at 11 am and 5pm fruits,

curd, matha or milk can be taken.

In fruits banana, papaya, apple,

cheeku, sweet lime and khajur (

soaked in water) also anjeer can

be taken. After some days take

liquid diet twice in a day at 8 am

and 4 pm. Otherwise in the af-ternoon and evening take normal

balanced diet. This kind of diet

will detoxify the body and you

feel fresh.

Liquid diet will reduce the weight,

so don’t get upset in the further

step weight will be gained.

Vegetable and fruit juices have

different effect on the body.Fruit

juices act fast in the body. Fruit juice detoxify the body and then

energise it. That is why fruit

juices are better than the veg-

etable juices.

Diseases cured by liquid diet

it saves from heat stroke. Dur-

It’s called a mad-mad world. Everybodywants to do everything. There seems to be no full stop

for anyone. Here we can blame no one. In this com-

petitive world everyone has to perform and prove one-

self every second. So where is the time for our self. If

we take out sometime for ourselves and exercise regu-

larly it will keep our body fit and healthy, it will not only

make us feel good and energetic but it will help us look

better, attractive and our day will begin and end

smoothly. Very few people actually understand theimportance of keeping fit and follow it religiously. Such

people exercise regularly and keep their body healthy,

flexible and strong.

As we all know any kind of ailment, illness or dis-

ease is not good for the body. We need to think how to

feel happy, be healthy and strong, strong enough to fight

out any foreign body. Obesity is a disease which invites

many other problems with it. Obesity makes the body

look obscene though obesity can be controlled by regu-

lar exercising.

Why Do We Gain Weight ?

Human skin is made of many layers. Lack of exer-

cise makes the skin thick which is not healthy for the

skin and of course for the body too. Gradually the body

starts gaining weight because of the accumulation of

skin. Finally it leads to obesity. Obesity anyways is an

invitation to diseases. Here comes the role of regular

exercising. Exercising means sweating and sweating

means that the pores in the skin open up and get space

to breath. In this process the skin layers do not accu-

mulate and we maintain a balanced weight. Right food

habits with regular exercise helps the body to keep fit

and healthy. Another very important point about exer-

cising is that it keeps you fresh, boosts your confidence

and you become a positive thinker.

Six Pack Abs

Six pack and eight pack abs has become a fashion,

a status symbol for youngster. This shows that the young-

sters are becoming more and more aware about the

benefits of exercise. Exercise is no doubt the best pos-

sible thing for a body but simply starting exercise with-out proper knowledge could be harmful. For a beginner

it is a must to know research about a decent gymna-

sium witha have a proper trained instructor. Instructor

will first examin your body to know various details like

a) The fat portion,

b) Flexibility in the body

c) The muscle strength

d) Weight of the bones

e) Blood pressure check up

He will also check the respiratory and the conditionof the heart. All the check ups are important as it will

help the trainer to set an exercising regime for you.

Stomach should be empty before starting any exercise.

O0ne hour exercising schedule should be enough to

regulate the body system. Exercising has a basic rule

which should be always followed and that is to begin

with a ten minute warm up exercises and end up with a

ten minute cool down exercises. Rest of the 40 minutes

our body and energises it too. In

stiffness in the body and the back-

bone specifically yoga under a

trained instructor can be a good op-

tion. With exercise one must eat a

good nutritious diet. Never over eat.

Drink lots of water. Keep a gap be-

tween breakfast and lunch. Avoid junk food. Coming back to exercis-

ing, keep changing the exercises as

the body gets used to it and gives

lesser results also there should be

newness as it gets boring after a

while. Avoid indoor games. Indul-

gence in games is a must as it helps

release stress and tension.

Yoga and pranayam also help in

relieving mental tension. They alsohelp strengthen the internal body

organs. It is observed that after

working for long hours on the com-

puter the fingers and the wrist pain

a lot. To get rid of this problem one

should move the wrist in clockwise

utes before starting workout. This

keeps the body energetic and ready

to exercise. Empty stomach can

damage the muscles. Eat fruits

which have water base like water

melon, orange, musk melon, straw

berry, apple and sweet lime.

A first timer should assess his/

her capacity to do exercise.

should feel comfortable. The mo-

ment you feel the exercise move-ments are making you feel giddy

or uncomfortable immediately

stop exercising.

With kids it’s a common prob-lem but when it is seen in old

and adult it becomes a cause of

concern. We start thinking it

might be an indication to some

disease. In some people nose

bleeding becomes like a habit.

But when suddenly nose starts

bleeding then of course it could

be alarming. Nose bleeding is common in summer season.

Sometimes people get worried

seeing so much of blood com-

ing out of the nose and they

start figuring out the solutions.

Medically it is known as

Epistaxis.

Bleeding nose is a common problem seen in almost everyneighbourhood. It’s common specially in kids. With kids it’s a com-

mon problem but when it is seen in old and adult it becomes a cause

of concern. We start thinking it might be an indication to some dis-

ease. In some people nose bleeding becomes like a habit. But when

suddenly nose starts bleeding then of course it could be alarming.

Nose bleeding is common in summer season. Sometimes people get

worried seeing so much of blood coming out of the nose and they

start figuring out the solutions. Medically it is known as Epistaxis.

On the inner surface of the nose are numerous thin blood capillar-

ies. They are very near to the skin. In a hilly during summers dryness

increases and due to the increase in the atmospheric air pressure the

nose can start bleeding. Nose bleeding can happen because of vari-

ous reasons for e.g in high blood pressure. Normally people advice to

lift the chin up while bleeding, it is said that bleeding immediately

stops. But this is not at all advisable as it does not stop bleeding but

some blood reaches the mouth. In fact one should press the front

portion of the nose with fingers and the head should be in a normal

sitting position. This will stop bleeding.

Symptoms

Sitting under the sun for long period can cause high blood pressure

and nose can bleed. Nose bleeding can also start without any prior

sign or symptom.

Before the bleeding starts head starts aching, some sounds start

coming in the ear, itching in the nose and the head starts spinning.

Heatstroke can also cause bleeding.

Blood flow from nose can increase and decrease.

If bleeding is in excesss then blood can go in the stomach through

throat which can cause swelling on the stomach wall and vomits

High Blood Pressure is one of the commonest and serious diseasesof today. It is a dangerous disease as it sleeps in the body quietly for

years. It keeps damaging the body parts secretly. HBP is a cause of

great concern as by the time we get to know about it, the damage is

already done to the various body parts like the heart, kidneys, eyes and

the brain. HBP is a disease of the modern era. Initially this disease was

said to be rich people's disease but now it’s not so.Mostly people above

fourty years are suffering from it. The reason is that in this modern era

still this disease is not curable as it resides in the body without showing

any symptoms. HBP and heart disease go hand in hand. An adult whose

blood pressure is abnormal due to some internal reasons gradually reaches

to or some times crosses the normal blood pressure measure which is

140/90.

According to various researches high bp patients are found the most

in Finland. European countries are also not left behind in this race. Morethan 10% people are suffering from hbp in these countries. Japan too is

not spared. Brazil has left all the countries behind if the check the per-

centage of hbp sufferers. Its has one crore thirty lacs hbp patients. Why

to leave India. India is catching up with this disease. Here adults are

facing a combination of diseases — high bp and diabetes. This combina-

tion could be deadly. India has left even Brazil in numbers as India has

approx. thirty crore people suffering from coronary artery disease and

every year approx. 20 % more CAD patients are added. If this disease

is not taken care of at time then in the coming years hbp will be included

as one of the deadliest diseases of the period. And surely India will be the

first in the list.

We have already mentioned that this disease comes up only after the

age of fourty. In the first four months of the year blood pressure in-

creases in the patients. August, september and october are the months

when this disease troubles less. In the months of may, june , july the blood

gets purified as people sweat a lot. That is why the blood pressure in the

ON THE OCCASION OF JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY OF BISMIL

body always?The sword cannot take the life, till the time it is destined to take

someone’s life”.One cannot tend to forget the names of those who sacrificed their

entire lives for their country. One such name is that of Ram PrasadBismil, whose name is marked with the golden letters, for his sacri-fices during the freedom movement of motherland India. One of hisquotes-’I have desire to secrifice my life, how I have to see the en-emies’ strength”. It is a known fact that people of all ages- wereinspired to sacrifice their own lives for their motherland during thefreedom movement. In the current day also, we do hear such poeticlines from which we get the inspiration to protect the dignity andpride of our great motherland. The stories of such freedom fightersand martyrs of the indomitable courage and sacrifice should be com-municated to all members of young generation so that they mightunderstand the importance of those who had sacrificed their ownlives for us. In order to get the freedom for their country, many of them intentionall accepted to be hanged till death without any com-plaints in the death gallows. Most of the mothers granted their pam-pered sons to become martyrs and were separated forever from them.Many sisters did not enjoy the bliss of their marriage and willingly

joined the pyres of their husbands in the cremation grounds evenbefore they could introduce to their married lives. The great martyrsof India laid the foundation stone to achieve freedom for their coun-try at any cost and this is marked permanently in the history of time.Thus, the conditional question for us-If there had been no such sac-rifices, and then what could have been the hue of our golden indepen-dence?

When the British had complete control in their firm hands over usand were achieving their targets at a fast pace, every single individualwas emerging from every corner of India to join to fight and getfreedom from them. The revolution began in the youth to be freefrom slavery.

Though there was diversity among people, yet there was a com-mon determination and motive lighted among each one of them. Among

the diversified groups, there was a class of individuals who weredriving on the path of non-cooperation and non-violence in order toget freedom from the foreign rulers, at the same time; we mightwitness another class of enthusiastic heroes who adopted revolution-ary mode without any fears to taste the freedom of the country.

On the occasion of centenary celebrations of Ram Prasad Bismil,I am going to present a narrative episode from his life wherein hisown revolutionary and unfaithful friends attacked him and tried totake his life.

motherland India. One of his

quotes- ‘I have desire to secrifice

my life, how I have to see the

enemies’ strength”. It is a known

fact that people of all ages- were

inspired to sacrifice their own lives

for their motherland during the freedom movement. In the current

day also, we do hear such poetic

lines from which we get the inspira-

tion to protect the dignity and pride

of our great motherland.

According to the yoga Guru Baba Ram Dev, weshould bring back all the hoarded money deposited in allinternational banks and he would try his best to mobilisethe consent of people as much as possible. He said, “Thismight be a political issue for anyone but it is an issue of national property for me. Thus, we are concerned aboutit. Therefore, there would be a voice raised against itfrom my side and people who support me on this matter.We would try our best to bring it back. We might compelour government to help us on this issue”. He added thatthe political and national leaders of our country are faraway from their duties, not focused and possess dualcharacter. Changes are not possible due to abuses or badlanguage and throwing of shoes. However, it is possibleonly through the votes. Looking at the current politicalscenarios and to get the good parties which are cleansedthoroughly for the changes, Baba Ramdev says that he isnot at all interested to gain a political seat in thecountry.However; he would not keep quiet and witnessthe wrong things happening around him. He would notremain silent on this matter at all.

Q) Why are you trying to parity the political par-ties along with the practice of yoga? Are you tryingto introduce yourself to the domain of politics or plan-ning to form a political party?

A) I was never a part of a political party in the past, Iwill not in current scenarios and do not intend to join it in near future also.However,in order to main-tain democracy and to purify the nature of our po-

litical conditions prevailing in our

country, I would like to start off amovement. I am practicing yogaand delivering lectures on spiritual-

ism in order to make the politi-cal leaders strong so that theymight lead the country in aperfect and pious

manner.Thus, I am only en-lightening people aroundme.All those individuals wholove their country and are con-cerned about her, would surely join me and result would bevictorious for all of us. I can-

not keep silence and sit with-out taking any initiative. Iwould openly revolt and fightagainst the corrupted politicalscenarios and positions in thecountry .Therefore, one shouldnot view it from a political angle.

Q) Are you trying tobuild an army of peopleagainst the political situa-

tion in the country? What is

your primary goal?

A) I do not have any motive to occupy a political seat.My main goal is to build a strong country with the help of Yoga Dharma. I would like to enlighten individuals to opentheir eyes and wake up from the deep sleep for the pre-vailing corruptions around them. I would like to see acountry which is very healthy, free from all kinds of cor-ruptions and frauds, wealthy and pious by nature. I wouldlike to encourage people to practice yoga, build a strongcharacter for themselves so that they, in turn, construct

a healthy country which is totally free from frauds, cor-

ruptions, dishonesty and criminals. This should comefrom the side of all those who love their country morethan anything else. It should be a movement from theentire country. They should fight against those politicalleaders who are ethically not strong and should not allowthem to rule the country. I would perform only thoseactions which are quite similar to that of Chanakya orMaharshi Vasistha or Dadichi.It is the question of anation.Therefore, there should not be any question formy motives or goals. The entire nation is my family and Irequest each and everyone, whether the person is a po-litical leader or a journalist or a young man or a man, to

THE DIRECTION AND CONDITION OF THECOUNTRY WOULD CHANGE WITH THE

BLACK MONEY DEPOSITED IN THE SWISSBANK

The case is clearly being presented and openlyin front of the central government. There are manyfingers raised against the central government abouttheir lenient behaviors also.However, they claimthat the Government is looking into the case veryseriously.However; the truth is that the governmentcannot comment anything at the moment becausethe case is being examined properly from all angles.

Ram Jethmalani and five other well-known per-sonalities filed a case against the black money de-posited in the foreign banks and against the cor-rupted people. They wanted him case to be exam-ined thoroughly. Germany and America had exam-ined the cases for the wealth that has been depos-

ited in other countries. India has not yet done any-thing on this. We all know the truth that there is atotal amount of 70 lakh crores of money is presentin the banks. America and France had pressurizedother banks to return their country’s wealth. Themoney present in the Swiss bank would be usefulto bring back our country back on its track of de-velopment and progress. One can really change theentire situation of the country with the moneypresent in other countries.

Union of the individual soul with the supreme and bring-ing them closer to each other is called Yoga and devotion orworship is one of its medium. Not only the common man buteven the enlightened and well read people of India and coun-tries of the North cherish this notion that Rishi Dayanand, theforerunner of India Renaissance was no doubt a great theologist,

propagator of Vedas, social reformer and harbinger of nationalawareness in India but they doubt that he was also a greatdevotee and a dedicated, humble worshiper like a beetle at thelotus feet of divine who was treading the path of boundlessdevotion to god. It is for this reason that a number of bookshave been written to highlight the programs of Swami Dayanand,particularly those pertaining to his nationalism, social reforms,Vedic interpretation and negation of religious hypocrisy etc. butonly a few books are their to enunciate his role of a dedicateddevotee who was treading the path of devotion. I could findonly one such book titled ‘Prabhu Bhakt Dayanand Aur UnkeAdhyatamik Updesh’ written by Acharya Bhadrasen of Ajmer.People do have a doubt that the element of devotion finds aplace in the programs of Rishi Dayanand and that of the Arya

Samaj which was created by him. Late Surindra Nath(the sonof the great martyr Shri Raj Pal ji), the former governor of Punjab, also had expressed such a doubt, many years ago at theend of meeting organized to celebrate the birth anniversary of Rishi Dayanand in DAV College, Chandigarh when he has askedme a question of that sort. My reply to the question was that if Dayanand did not have absolute dedication and devotion to god,he would have never been successful in accomplishing the task of that magnitude as he did in the short span of his life. Tocollect such devotional references from his life requires a sepa-rate effort and time.

Before getting an introduction of Bhaktivad of RishiDayanand, it would be appropriate that we acquire a brief knowl-

edge of the history of bhaktitatva in India. In Vedic andupnishadic literature, we often find a word uppasana (worship)instead of bhakti (devotion). In Taitriya and ChhandogyoUpnishad detailed explanations of several uppasanas’ have beengiven.

of the meaning of Vedas, he also wrote a book calledSanskar vidhi. In which complete details of all the ritu-als to be performed by the house holders have beengiven. While on one hand he wrote the first part of hissatyarth prakash to serve as a guide of Arya Dharmaand Arya Jeevan, he wrote the 2nd part of the book inorder to delve deep into the intricacies of different sectsof the world. While for an entry into the field of wor-ship of god, he wrote a chapter on Sandhyopasana inhis panch maha yajna vidhi, he also wrote a separatebook titled Arya bhi Vinay to explain the element of bhakti, to which the attention is given only by a fewpeople.

In fact, through this book Rishi has clearly specifiedthe actual form of devotion of god as propounded in theVedas. He felt that from all the four Vedas, a compila-tion of such mantras amounting to 50 from each of themshould be prepared which may highlight the devotion of the supreme and the exposition of Pranav bhav towardsHim. As regards the mantras of the Rig-Veda and theYajurved, he could explain and give their meaning but

for paucity of time, he could not do that in respect of the mantras of the Sam Veda and the Uttharveda.

However, the height of devotion, faith, dedicationand submission of Dayanand towards his deity was para-mount which is reflected in Aryabhivinay. The people,who find dryness in the thought and use of Dayanandand lack of sentiments and excess of logic in him, shouldstudy Aryabhivinay. In the explanation of the first man-tra of the Rig-Veda that is Agni Mide Purohitam(Rig-Veda 1/1/1), as given in this book, Rishi has mentionedas many names and qualities of god, stay undiminishedas compared to the splendor of 1000 of Vishnu sahsranaam. Solicitation of Dayanand to god is also miracu-

lous. His feelings of public welfare and desire of wellbeing for the entire humanity doesn’t allow him to ask anything for himself. Moreover, in the explanation of the following month ‘Vayam Jaimay Twaya Pooja’, headdresses god as Maharajadiraaj (King of Kings). Hewants an indivisible, monarchial empire from him whichis not a dictatorial entity of some Hitler, Mussolini orChurchill. But the governance of noble persons whichmay be inspired by the feeling of welfare of all and theentire humanity. In this mantra, he wants liberty for hiscountry and praise to god in order to get rid of the sla-very. At every step in this book, we find a glimpse of the humbleness of a devotee and majesty of god.

It is one of the other salient features of the devotionof Rishi Dayanand that it wants a devotee to be ener-getic, vigorous, glorious and powerful. Contrary to it, inthe bhakti of middle ages, we find the tendency of hu-mility, inferiority, lassitude and self condemnation whichis responsible for his inertness, languor, worthlessness,inaction and parasitic attitude. In this conext, Dr.Sampoornanand has rightly written that while in theVedic thought, a man has been accepted as a pious,illustrious, enlightened, prosperous, non defined,unvanquished, even in the face of death and an ever

lasting individual soul, the Puranic bhakti in the wordsof poet Soordas has filled the devotee with inferiorityand asks him to consider himself as insignificant. Seethe following lines of this poet that is Prabhu Mein SubPatitan Ko Nayak aur Mein Sub Patitan ko Teeko etc.This feeling of cowardice to consider oneself as sinneror the top most of them emerged from such formula-

tions of Puranic bhakti. For example, there is one suchline which reads as follows – ‘ ikiks¿ge~ ikidekZ¿e~ ikikRek iki lEHko%A’. A Puranic bhakt speaks of himself as asinner, one who does the sinful karmas’, is full of sinfulthoughts and one who has emerge from the sin. Is it notso that speaking in those terms for himself, he is sayingin other words that his parents are depraved personsand he himself is an illegally born child. Vedic bhakti aspropounded by Dayanand is very distant from the feel-ings of the inferiority and self condemnation. It makesa devotee generous, illustrious and vigorous. Bhakti of non attributive and formless god is not deplorable.

Avatarvadi acharyas and devotees who believe in agod with specific attributes, considered ignored, ne-glected and at times even ridicule such devotees whoconsider god to be devoid of specific attributes andworship such a god. But remember it that the Nirgunsaints of the middle ages like Kabir, Nanak, Dadu,Raidass, Tukaram, Namdev etc considered him to bedevoid of any form, figure or gross body and for thatmatter, an eternal soul and an unborn entity without form,figure and attributes and fully surrendered themselves.They were not in any way inferior to those Sakaarvadidevotees. But see their impudence. Even Tulsidass, whowas considered to be a model of modesty and dignity,spoke the words of condemnation for the Nirgun devo-tees. Nathpanthi sadhus who call that unseen and invis-

ible god as Alakhniranjan, were called by them asneech(of low birth) in these lines ‘ rqylh vy[kfg dk y[kS jkeuke tiq uhpA’. Certainly, to call these Nirgun vadeseas neech is the high of their impudence. These devo-tees were not in any way superior to Meera, Sur, Tulsiand Narsi Mehta.

This matter of controversy raised by devotees andsaints of Middle Ages is an old thing. The devotion of Raja Ram Mohan Rai and his follower MaharishiDevendra Nath Tagore(father of Mahakavi RavindraNath Tagore) who were the leading figures of BrahmSamaj and contemporaries of Rishi Dayanand was notin any way inferior to those who worshipped a god with

specific attributes. While discharging his duties as ahouse holder and fulfilling all his worldly obligations,Devendra Nath used to go to Shimla every year to leada life of solitude and devotion to god in the loneliness of the mountains. Is it not the devotion of his sakaarvadi(anidol worshipper) Ram Krishan Paramhans towardsDevendra Nath who was an honest and simple personand without any effect of worldly ways of fraud, dis-simulations and cravings and who was called a Maharishiby Rishi Dayanand himself, something objectionable anddeplorable? There is one incident of his life and it is as

Gopal Kannojiya, Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar

You take bath everyday but there are also some

methods of taking bath that, you can take it's benefitsand can fill your body and mind with freshness and agil-

ity. Now let us tell you about those new beneficial ways

of taking bath.

Waist Bath

Waist bath is used in stomach related diseases. Most

of the diseases arise from the stomach. If you check

them in the very beginning, you can protect yourself

from several diseases. For Kati Snan, fill a big tub with

water. The level of water should be such that the hips

may dip in it and water may cover stomach above the

naval. The tub should be such that one may sit in itcomfortably. Keep fresh or Luke warm water in the

tub according to the weather. In the beginning, you can

sit in it for 5 – 10 minutes. Gradually you can increase

the time up to half and hour. Rap a towel with rugged

surface around your waist and rub the body below the

naval from right to left and then from left to right so that

the food has accumulated there is gradually slackened

and comes out with the rest of residue and stool so that

the stomach becomes light and normal. Remember, that

only that part of the body gets which is in the tub and

rest of the body should not get wet otherwise it willloose its significance.

If some patient is getting the benefit of this bath, let

him lie after the bath and cover his body with a blanket

or a coarse sheet of cloth to keep his body warm. A

healthy person should take some exercise or brisk walk

after the bath so as to warm up the body. Kati Snan

(Waist bath) reduces obesity, removes constipation and

several stomach disorders get destroyed. It removes in

digestion and improves the capacity of the digestive sys-

tem and cleanses the intestines.

Leg bathLeg bath is highly beneficial for legs and calves. For

this bath, take tolerably hot water in a bucket and take

another bucket of water with normal temperature. Mix

some salt and lemon juice in the hot water bucket. Now

in this bucket, put your legs below the knees and sit on

a chair with a towel rapped around your body. When

the temperature of the water starts becoming normal,

dip your legs in the normal water. In this way, take this

leg bath for a total of 20 – 30 minutes. This bath isespecially beneficial in the stiffness of legs, pain in the

calves, cough, chronic catarrh and heaviness of head.

Bath of the genitals

Mehan Snan is more beneficial particularly for la-

dies but even gents can take the benefit of this bath. In

this bath, the genitals are kept in the water and washed

with that water. For this bath, fill a half of the tub with

water. Keep a high wooden plank on it with a dry sur-

face and sitting in the tub keep your legs out in the style

of Kati Snan. Now, dip soft and clean pieces of cloth in

water and clean very slowly the genitals or the external

part of the penis. Keep it in mind that, don’t rub these

organs with the cloth. This bath cures the menstrual

problems, Leucorrhoea and other stomach disorders in

the ladies.

Steam Bath

For Steam bath, there should be a wooden box. In

big cities, steam bath is taken in gyms and beauty par-

lors also. You can take a steam bath even at your home.

In the gyms, there is a separate room for steam bath

and a proper place is also to sit their. For this purpose,

steam is released in the room with a pipe. Gym gives

full benefit to the body. While taking steam bath one

should not put on clothes. A very weak person or a

patient should not take steam bath. Just after the steam

bath, one should bath in fresh water. Steam bath is very

beneficial in gout. It reduces obesity, removes blood

defects. The pores of the body become clean and open.

In case of any complaint of eczema, itching etc., you

should certainly take the benefit of this Snan. Besides

that Sun bath, Sona bath etc are also popular.

Hot bath is harmful for gentsTaking bath in the hot water for a longer period ag-

gravates the problems of the gents. Continuous bath in

the hot water may develop the symptoms of impotency

and deformity of the sperm. A bath in the ordinary wa-

ter does not bring down the virility of the gents. There-

fore, even in the winter season, the gents should not

stay in hot tubs for a longer period. It proves to be very

dangerous for their virility.
