Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine and philosophy that originated over 5,000 years ago. It is based on concepts from the Vedas and Upanishads and incorporates teachings from practices like yoga and Buddhism. The philosophy sees the human being as an integration of body, mind, and spirit and aims to achieve balance through practices like herbal remedies, massage, meditation and a balanced lifestyle. It views illness as an imbalance that can be corrected by making adjustments in diet, behavior and other daily habits according to individual constitution and seasonal changes.

Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj is truly one of the most astounding human beings to have graced this planet in the last century. His contribution to the growth and development of Yoga in modern times is significant and it reenergised the true spirit of Yoga worldwide.
This book lovingly compiled by one of his dear students, Yogacharya Dr. Alan Davis of the UK, enables the reader to understand the grand unified perspective, the “Yoga Dristhi” of the Yoga Maharishi that may be best defined in Pujya Swamiji’s own words thus :
“Yoga Dristhi implies a Unified Perception which encompasses all aspects of evolutionary life on this planet, and not just perceptions based on information fed to us through our sensual organs… Perception also involves right knowledge, intuitive insight and proper judgement to qualify under Yoga Dristhi.”
May this book stimulate us all to delve deeper in to our Yoga Sadhana thus enabling us to grow and glow with the true eternal spirit of Yoga, the Mother of all Sciences.
The document discusses the Shat-karmas, which are six cleansing practices that are part of Hatha yoga. The Shat-karmas help balance the Ida and Pingala energy currents and achieve physical and mental purity. They also help regulate the three doshas (humors) in the body - Kapha, Pitta, and Vata. These practices should be done before more advanced yoga techniques and require guidance from a qualified instructor to do safely and effectively. The document emphasizes that the Shat-karmas aim to enhance yoga practitioners' strength and direct energies in the body, mind and deeper mind.
Agni refers to the digestive fire or enzymes in Ayurveda that is responsible for transforming food and drink into nutrients. Pitta dosha is considered to be Agni. There are different types of Agni located throughout the body that perform various digestive functions. When Agni is vitiated or impaired, it can lead to disease by causing undigested waste (ama) to accumulate. Ayurvedic treatments aim to regulate Agni through digestion-enhancing herbs, foods, and therapies in order to support health and treat illness.
1. Abhyanga, or oil massage therapy, is a central part of Ayurvedic treatment involving the systematic rubbing and manipulation of the body with medicated oils.
2. The benefits of Abhyanga include preventing stiffness, promoting circulation, and accomplishing positive health outcomes when combined with other Ayurvedic treatments.
3. The document provides details on the different types of Abhyanga based on materials used, body regions, pressure applied, and properties of the oils. Proper timing, techniques, and precautions are also outlined.
Prakruty is a Sansakrit language word and means for Constitution of human body charesteristics and their recognition through sign and symptoms. This is very necessary when Ayurveda treatment is given. This is one of the basic fundamentals of Ayurvedic Medical science. How a physician will be able to detect the Prakruty, is dependent upon the signs of the body. In this slide show the reader will find the glimps of the different functions and signs to recognise the prakruty.
Kayakalpa is a Siddha medicine practice aimed at rejuvenation, preventing disease, and increasing longevity. It involves consuming herbal preparations at specific times and with compatible diets. Kayakalpa is divided into general wellness formulations (Pothu karpam) and illness-treating formulations (Sirappu karpam) containing herbs like ginger, neem, and aloe. Proper preparation, compatible diet, and avoiding certain foods are emphasized. While Kayakalpa can benefit those under 50, its effects are reduced after the fifth decade. Scientific studies are still needed to validate many of the claims in Siddha literature regarding these herbal preparations.
Abhyanga, or oil massage, is an important part of daily health routines according to Ayurveda. It helps strengthen the body, pacify vata dosha, and promote longevity when performed regularly. Specific benefits include nourishment of tissues, relaxation, improved sleep and strength. The head, ears and feet are particularly important areas to massage daily with oil. Contraindications include certain diseases with ama or indigestion. Proper abhyanga involves warm oil and gentle stroking in the direction of hair growth on the body.

the missing parts of ayurveda by Dr panchajanya kumar .deeviPanchajanya Kumar
- Ayurveda originated from ancient texts containing 1000 chapters and 100,000 verses authored by Lord Brahma. It was later divided into two traditions focused on medicine and surgery.
- Much of the original Ayurvedic knowledge is missing today, as the early texts likely contained more detailed information on concepts like doshas.
- For Ayurveda to be strengthened and modernized, new departments need to be developed focusing on basic principles, pharmacology, clinical research, and technology. New areas like pharmacy, food science, and cosmetics can also help Ayurveda's future growth.
- Ayurvedic scholars must work hard through challenges and see failures as opportunities to improve,

Yoga and Ayurveda have long been linked together as two complimentary systems of human development. They grew up organically intertwined through their common ancient Vedic roots – the legacy of the legendary Himalayan rishis who understood the laws of the universe and the inner process of cosmogenesis that holds the keys to all transformations. The two systems have maintained a long and intimate history, interacting upon and enhancing one another up to the present day. Ayurveda is the “second phase” of interest in Yoga, which builds upon the first phase of interest in Yoga as an exercise system.
UNDERSTANDING THE YOGA DARSHAN (An exploration of the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi...Yogacharya AB Bhavanani
UNDERSTANDING THE YOGA DARSHAN
(An exploration of the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patanjali)
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani
The yoga tradition is pan-universal and para-universal in its perspective. In this ancient art and science of right living, reverence is one of the most important qualities required in any sincere aspirant. Without reverence it is difficult to value “that” which we have and “that” which we have been given. It is difficult to understand how blessed we are if we choose not to realize it. The shat darshan are not just mere, philosophical perspectives of the dynamic universe but are a reverential witnessing of the Divine Universal Nature. All aspects of yoga are sacred, not in a limited religious sense but in an unlimited spiritual one. All aspects of yoga need to be respected. It is only when we have such an attitude of respectful love, profound interest, that we can become a yoga bhakta. Then, and then only, will we be fit for these teachings of the highest nature. Any attempt to explore the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patañjali must spring from an attitude of respect, reverence and love for these teachings. If that is absent, then one may as well as be reading any common magazine or newspaper instead. The place, the time and the frame of mind will enable us to develop the right attitude, the universal beatitude towards these elevating teachings. This reverence would be completely lost if we choose to treat them like other mundane information or data. What attitude will you choose? The choice you make determines whether or not the treasure house of the Yoga Sutra opens its doors to you or not!

The Science of Daiva Varnasrama - Understanding - 01SriSurabhi
This document summarizes key points from part 1 of the book "The Science of Daiva Varnasrama" by HH RP Bhakti Raghava Swami. It discusses that varnasrama dharma is the most ideal and scientific system created by God to help people rise from lower to higher modes of nature. There are two levels of dharma - bhagavata dharma regarding the soul and varnasrama dharma regarding material life. Varnasrama dharma is based on agrarian life as shown by Krishna and Balarama and follows four pillars - truth, compassion, austerity and cleanliness. While ideally followed in villages, some principles
This document discusses reincarnation and karma. It provides examples of famous individuals who believed in reincarnation. It explains that due to political reasons, early Christian texts about reincarnation were removed from the Bible.

YASHODAPUR ECO VILLAGE Creating Vedic Village Models in the Kingdom of CambodiaSriSurabhi
Yasodapura Eco Village is a rural community project in Cambodia established by Bhakti Raghava Swami Maharaja in 2006. The project aims to create self-sufficient villages based on organic farming, cow protection, and traditional lifestyles. It seeks to preserve forests and water resources while providing education, healthcare, skills training, and spiritual practices to improve lives. The village has acquired 11 hectares of land and is developing in phases, with the goal of serving as a prototype for sustainable living. Support is requested through donations, skills, materials or adopting a family to help realize the vision.
This document outlines the Om Sri Surabhi Campaign initiated by the ISKCON Daiva Varnasrama Ministry of India from 2015 to 2027. The campaign aims to promote cow protection globally through various short-term and long-term objectives. Short-term goals include individuals and families adopting practices that honor cows, while long-term goals involve working with governments and the UN to recognize cows. Funds raised will support rural community projects, education, and cow protection initiatives worldwide. The campaign is coordinated globally with representatives from different continents.
This document summarizes an article by HG Tejiyas Dasa about becoming aware of and applying the Varnasrama system. It notes that while Srila Prabhupada's teachings centered on Krishna, 90% of his words discussed Varnasrama as the proper setting for devotional service. It argues that Varnasrama should be used as an institution to help people progress in Krishna consciousness in a sane way. Some benefits of traditional Varnasrama life discussed include a meaningful childhood and protection in old age. The document contrasts asuric and daivic conceptions of Varnasrama and economics.
This document describes Gaura Hari Village, an eco-village community in Bali, Indonesia established in 2002 according to varnashrama dharma principles. The village is home to 102 devotees living in 25 families and growing their own food through farming and home industries. It has facilities like a temple, housing for different devotees, and a goshala with 3 cows. The village aims to help devotees live a natural lifestyle according to Vedic principles through community living and self-sufficiency.
This document provides an introduction and first chapter of the Sri Chanakya Niti text. It begins with introductory prayers and outlines the benefits of studying niti-shastra scriptures for understanding dharma. The chapter then provides several maxims, including that maintaining a wicked wife or associating with the wretched can harm even learned people. It advises saving money for hard times, protecting one's wife and wealth, but saving one's soul above all. Friends and relatives should be tested in times of difficulty or misfortune to determine who is truly loyal. Marriage, trust, and where one lives are also discussed. The chapter ends by stating women have twice the hunger and lust of men.

DM is now a world threat and the perspective to visualize its management has shifted from holistic to drug oriented with the advent of time from ancient to modern.

Ayurveda has great potential in preventing life style disorders. According to Ayurveda a healthy person is one who remains established in self along with equilibrium of Tridosha (three functional units in body i.e. Vata,Pitta,Kapha ).Dietetic factors, lifestyle as well as environmental factors affect the Tridosha. Disease is the result of disturbance in homeostasis of Tridosha.

Amsu began in 2016 with 2 farmers, 5 cows, and 6 acres of land in India. They cultivate non-GMO cotton using cow-based agriculture and employ local women to hand spin the cotton into yarn using traditional tools.

The document discusses the importance of establishing a varnashrama system with guru-kulas and varnashrama colleges according to Srila Prabhupada. It provides quotes emphasizing that guru-kulas, where young boys are trained from ages 5-10, and varnashrama colleges are essential for a society to properly function. However, attempts to establish these in ISKCON did not succeed due to lack of funding, qualified teachers, and commitment from members. Modern education is criticized as producing "dogs" and "fools" instead of independently minded brahmanas, ksatriyas, and vaishyas.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
