The document summarizes a spiritual retreat attended by the author based on the Isha Upanishad verse "Purnamadah Purnamidam". The author experienced peace and happiness learning from Poojya Swamiji Dayananda Saraswathi's explanation of "PURNA", though it is difficult to fully explain. The author is grateful to have spent time in the land of sadhus in Rishikesh and learned there is much more to learn. The document also discusses electrolytes, crystal therapy salt caves that help restore electrolyte balance, and the benefits of PEMF therapy such as reducing pain and inflammation.

1. On invitation from Arsha Vidya
Peetha Rishikesh, I was fortunate
enough to attend a five-day
Spiritual Retreat by Poojya Swamiji
Dayananda Saraswathi on the
famous and insightful verse
(Shanthi Mantra) of Isha
Upanishadwhichisasfollows:
Om
Purnamadah Purnamidam
Purnat Purnamudachyate
Purnasya Purnamadaya
Purnameva Vashishyate
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi
Om
Completeness is that, completeness is this,
From completeness, completeness comes forth.
Completeness from completeness taken away,
Completeness to completeness added,
Completeness alone remains.
Om Peace! Peace! Peace!
This is an invocatory prayer from Ishavasya
Upanishad, which appears in Yajurveda. The
invocatory prayers are chanted before any scriptural
studies by the Master and the students together. In
some sense, a complete explanation of the nature of
Reality and the entire wisdom of the path of Self-
Realizationiscontainedinthisshortsummary.
From the Founder's Desk
H i s H o l i n e s s S w a m i
Dayananda Saraswathi
made us understand and
dwell on this “PURNA” . In
short, it is very difficult to
explain but I experienced
peace and happiness under
his feet. I have learnt from
the Retreat that there is
muchtolearn.
My deepest thanks to the Universe for making me a
part of the retreat and enabling me to spend time in
thelandofthesadhus, Rishikesh.
Let us all heartily welcome the NEW YEAR 2014. It is
time to enjoy and wish each other. Begin another new
chapterandrememberthatyouhave365daystomake
every page of the chapter worth remembering when
you finish the year. Wish you a very Happy, Healthy,
ProsperousandLoveableNewYear.
I also take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy
Sankranthi - a festival of thanksgiving to Mother
Nature for an abundance of crops, well being and
prosperity. Let us pray for the peace and prosperity of
oneandall.

2. Salts and Crystalotherapy
Electrolytes are important minerals stored in very small
amounts in the body. Common electrolytes include
sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are
called electrolytes because they carry a very small
electrical charge that performs important functions
throughout your body. These minerals regulate the
amount of water in your body, control muscle action,
regulate blood chemistry, and perform other important
functions. Electrolytes are found in your blood, cells,
tissue,urine,andbodyfluids.
When the amount of electrolytes in your body is too high
or too low, you can develop dizziness, cramps, and
problems with an irregular heart beat (heart rhythm) or
symptoms of mental confusion. An electrolyte
disturbance can be caused by severe fluid loss
(dehydration) through sweating (without replacing fluids)
and by certain health conditions, such as kidney
problems, diabetes, malnutrition, hormone disorders,
and heart disease. It might also occur as a result of
treatmentforanothercondition,suchascancer.
Sodium is the major electrolyte found in body fluid.
Sodium regulates the amount of water in the blood and
tissues it acts like a sponge to attract and hold fluids in
body tissues. Sodium is important for conducting nerve
impulses, muscle contraction and is especially important
for growth. Sodium (Na) together with Potassium (K),
regulates the osmotic pressure in the cells and keeps the
balanceoftheionsintheblood.
Potassium (K) controls the content of water of the cells. It
regulates the functioning of the nerve system, the
muscular contractions and keeps the correct number of
ions in the human body. It protects the heart against
arrhythmias and, together with sodium, keeps the
balance of water in the organism. Moreover, it is also
necessary for the emission of insulin, the metabolism of
thecarbohydratesandthecompositionofproteins.
Magnesium (Mg) is a main ingredient of the bones and
teeth, which helps in the proper functioning of
metabolism and activates many enzymes. It restores
calmness in the nerve and muscle fiber and reduces
pressure. It fights significantly psychic diseases, such as
depression,aswellasthebreakingofkidneystones.

The unique healing attributes of this microclimate are
due to the enriched air that circulates inside the
Crystalotherapy Salt Cave. This air is rich in salt ions and
trace elements. Its cleanliness and purity, which
excludes and in the same time destroys bacteria and
other microorganisms, is taken care to be preserved
through the exclusive use of natural materials and the
very large quantities of salt used at the cave. The walls,
floor and ceiling of Crystalotherapy Salt Cave are
completely covered with tons of 4 different types of
carefully selected mineral salt and Dead Sea salt which
contains 84 trace elements. Its high crystalline structure
allows the cellular absorption of nutrients and restores

The salt rock proved to be particularly effective in
protecting against electromagnetic radiation, with
84.11% absorption rate of the electromagnetic
radiationinacontrolledexperimentconducted.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that
compared to sea air, the air inside the
Crystalotherapy Salt Caves is 76 times richer in
sodium and salt and also contains potassium and
magnesium (that sea air does not contain).
Additionally, the studies prove that Crystalotherapy

International Conference on Srividya
Trayinyas Srividya Foundation organized an
International Conference on Srividya (Knowledge-
Science-Philosophy) recently at the University Senate
Bhavan. The conference was dedicated to the late Sri
Balagangadharanatha Swamiji of Adichunchanagiri
Mutt and the late Srikantadatta Narasimharaja
Wodeyar of Mysore. The conference was inaugurated
by Junior Pontiff Avadhuta Datta Peetham of Sri
GanapathiSachchidanandaAshram.
The conference discussed the mystical, esoteric and
ancient system of mantra, yantra and tantra in
god(dess) worship, and the role of Srividya in different
fields. Traditional Srividya Upasana is almost 5,000
years old and is an ancient Indian Vidya of the
Adidevathas. Many of these age-old concepts have
beenunderlinedinmodernscienceand technologylike
when recently it was proved that the whole universe
was formed with a god
particle (Higgs Boson) with
reference to macrons and
microns (anu and paramanu
inbinduroopam).
Dr.B.R.Paialsospokeonone
of the sessions. He said that
Divinity is everywhere in the
form of Energy and Energy is
the key component in
achieving optimum health
i.e. Swasthya or Wellness.
Wellness is a balanced
channeling of energy - energy received from the
environment,transformedwithinoneselfand returned
toinfluencetheworldaround.

PEMF - the fifth element of health
Food, water,sunlight,and oxygenarerequiredfor
life, but there is a fifth element of health that is
equally vital and often overlooked: the Earth's
magnetic field and its corresponding PEMFs
(pulsed electromagnetic fields). Earth's PEMFs
are so essential that NASA and the Russian space
programequiptheirspacecraftswithdevicesthat
replicatethesefrequencies.
These frequencies are absolutely necessary for
the human body's circadian rhythms, energy
production, and keeping the body free from pain.
We are no longer getting these life-nurturing
energies of the earth, thanks to “electro-smog”
harmful high-frequency fields produced by our
electrical wiring, communications devices and
appliances which stress our bodies, interfere
with cell communication and metabolism, and
drainourenergies.
The new science of PEMF therapy (a branch of
energy medicine), based on modern quantum
field theory, is the solution to this problem, with
themanybenefitslistedbelow:
v
eliminatepainandinflammationnaturally
v
get deep, rejuvenating sleep
v
increase your energy and vitality
v
feel younger, stronger, and more flexible
v
keep your bones strong and healthy
v
helpyourbodywithhealingandregeneration
v
improvecirculationandhearthealth,etc
Healthy magnetic fields, such as those produced
by PEMF devices, mimic the natural frequencies
of the Earth and its atmosphere. There are now over
1,000 PEMF clinical studies indicating its
effectiveness.FollowingisonesuchPEMFdevice.
The iMRS System uses carrier frequencies in a range
of just 0.5 and 15 Hz, which is totally within the
natural biological window of the Earth's field. These
fields help to put the body back into a state of
balance, energy and wellness. Bathed in a PEMF
field, the cell membranes become more energized,
with a better balance between positive and negative
ions. Greater cell membrane potential means better
absorption of nutrients and oxygen, and better
elimination of wastes. Blood circulation increases as
the vessels dilate and as red blood cells repel each
other more strongly, so the oxygen content of the
blood increases. Many of these effects continue for
several hours after treatment, which is especially
important during sleep, when cellular repairs are at
theirpeak.
