Exploring the Vital Energies of Ojas, Tejas, and Prana: Keys to Holistic Wellbeing

In the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the concept of ojas, tejas, and prana represents the vital energies that govern our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. These subtle energies are believed to be the foundation of health and vitality, and understanding how to cultivate and balance them is essential for achieving holistic wellbeing.

Ojas tejas prana are often referred to as the three pillars of life, each serving a unique function in supporting our overall health and vitality. Together, they form the basis of Ayurvedic medicine and provide a framework for understanding the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

Ojas, the first of the three vital energies, is often described as the essence of vitality and immunity. It is the subtle substance that nourishes and sustains the body, mind, and spirit, providing the foundation for health and wellbeing. Ojas is responsible for promoting strength, resilience, and longevity, and its presence in the body is believed to be essential for maintaining optimal health.

Tejas, the second vital energy, is often described as the inner radiance or glow that emanates from within. It is the subtle energy that governs metabolism, digestion, and transformation in the body. Tejas is responsible for promoting clarity, intelligence, and creativity, and its balanced expression is believed to be essential for mental and emotional wellbeing.

Prana, the third vital energy, is often described as the life force or vital energy that animates all living beings. It is the subtle energy that governs respiration, circulation, and movement in the body. Prana is responsible for promoting vitality, enthusiasm, and vitality, and its balanced expression is believed to be essential for spiritual wellbeing.

In Ayurvedic medicine, the balance and harmonious expression of ojas, tejas, and prana are considered essential for maintaining health and vitality. When these vital energies are in balance, we experience a sense of health, happiness, and wellbeing. However, imbalances in ojas, tejas, and prana can lead to a variety of physical, mental, and emotional disturbances, ranging from fatigue and lethargy to anxiety and depression.

Cultivating and balancing ojas, tejas, and prana is a multifaceted process that involves nurturing the body, mind, and spirit on multiple levels. Ayurvedic medicine offers a variety of tools and techniques for promoting the healthy expression of these vital energies, including dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and spiritual practices.

Diet plays a crucial role in nourishing and sustaining ojas, tejas, and prana in the body. Ayurvedic medicine emphasizes the importance of eating fresh, whole foods that are rich in prana, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Additionally, incorporating herbs and spices with rejuvenating properties, such as ashwagandha, ghee, and tulsi, can help to nourish and strengthen ojas, tejas, and prana.

Lifestyle modifications are also key to promoting the healthy expression of ojas, tejas, and prana. Ayurvedic medicine recommends cultivating daily routines and practices that support balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. This may include practices such as meditation, yoga, pranayama, and self-care rituals that help to calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Herbal remedies are often used in Ayurvedic medicine to support the healthy expression of ojas, tejas, and prana in the body. Adaptogenic herbs, such as ashwagandha, holy basil, and shatavari, are particularly beneficial for nourishing and strengthening these vital energies, helping to promote resilience, vitality, and wellbeing.

Spiritual practices are also an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine, as they help to cultivate a deeper connection with the divine and promote spiritual growth and evolution. Practices such as prayer, meditation, chanting, and ritual are believed to help balance and harmonize ojas, tejas, and prana, fostering a sense of inner peace, contentment, and fulfillment.

In conclusion, ojas, tejas, and prana are the vital energies that govern our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing according to Ayurvedic medicine. Cultivating and balancing these energies is essential for achieving holistic health and vitality. By incorporating dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and spiritual practices into our daily lives, we can support the healthy expression of ojas, tejas, and prana, and experience greater levels of health, happiness, and wellbeing.

The Five Elements of Ayurveda - Ether, Air, Fire, Water & Earth

The Five Elements

Aurveda's core view is the connection between the macrocosm and the microcosm, from the universal to the individual, meaning what cxists outside also exists within us. The five great elements (pancha mahabhuta) that compose the world around us also make up our inner world. These elements-space, air, fire, water, earth-form the building blocks of life and mirror the basic principles in physics of space, energy, transformation, liquid, and matter. Each element is connected to a subtle energy, a tanmatra, that is associated with our senses--sound, touch, vision, taste, and smell.

Let's explore how the elements form our physical body.

Ether/Space (Akasha)

Ether or space, akasha, is the first and subtlest of all the elements. Ether is the space in which everything exists. It is universal, nonmoving, and formless. Its qualities are clear, light, subtle, soft, and immeasurable. This clement is related to the actions of expansion and vibration. The tanmatra of space is sound (shabda), and the ear is the Sensory organ that perceives sound.

Air (Vayu)

The air element, vayu, is the energy of movement. It initiates and directs motion. Its qualities are mobile, dry, light, cold, rough, and subtle. The tanmatra of air is touch (sparsha), and the sensory organ is skin, which helps detect movement. In the body, air expresses itself in the movement of the muscles, lungs, heart, and impulses of the nervous system. Its responsible for breathing, ingestion and elimination, and the flow of thought. Prana is the basic principle of the air element, the vital life force that is primarily taken in through breath and which life cannot exist without.

Fire (Agni)

The fire element, agni, is the energy of transformation. The qualities of fire are hot, sharp, light, dry, and subtle. The tanmatra of fire is vision (rupa), and the eyes are the sensory organ responsible for sight. The fire element governs all metabolic processes, aiding in the digestion of food, transformation of thoughts, and perception of light. Tejas is the subtle essence of fire, the burning flame of pure intelligence that pro-cesses all perception into knowledge.

Water (Apas)

From subtle to gross, the next element is water, called apas. Its main actions are cohesion and adhesion. Its qualities are cool, liquid, dull, soft, oily, and slimy. The tanmatra of water is taste (rasa). The tongue is the sensory organ that plays a large role in our experience of eating and our sense of satisfaction. Water lives in the body as plasma, saliva, mucous, cerebrospinal fuid, urine, and sweat. Ojas is the subtle essence of water, giving vitality and immunity to the bodily tissues.

Earth (Prithvi)

The earth element, prithvi, is the densest of all. It creates shape and structure. It is heavy, dull, dense, hard, and gross. The tanmatra of earth is smell (gandba), and the sensory organ is the nose. The earth element shapes all the body's solid structures and tissues, including the bones, cartilage, nails, teeth, hair, and skin.

Incorporating Ayurvedic principles into massage therapy goes beyond mere relaxation; it offers a holistic approach to harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit, promoting overall well-being. By addressing the elemental balance specific to an individual's constitution, we can tailor massages to effectively target stress and tension, ultimately leading to a more relaxed and grounded nervous system.

Ojas, Tejas and Prana: Diagnosis with Nadi

The body, mind and spirit exist together in daily life as a single unit just as all things in the universe exist together, in harmony. There are primal, magical, and subtle forces of energy within our bodies that are fluid and dynamic, called Ojas, Tejas and Prana. In reality we are consciousness, pure awareness, and our body is an expression of that consciousness. One way of achieving that pure awareness is to pay attention both to the outer object and the inner movement of sensation simultaneously in which the tan matras are revealed. There are five elements—Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth—and they each have respective tanmatras. Sound is the subtle tan matra of Space Touch is the tan matra of Air Vision or sight is Fire Taste is Water, and Smell, the olfactory sense, is the subtle tanmatra of Earth.

So, these five elements are merged into five subtle tanmatras. An object stimulates the inner senses, through which the mind touches the outer object via the inner tanmatra. Through this bridge, we experience perception.

The Subtle Refined Essences of the Tissues 

Our mind consists of five tanmatric substances. The external sound stimulates the inner tanmatra of the mind which enables the inner tanmatra to perceive the outer sound. There is also touch in our mind. We are constantly touching the outer environment through the sensation of touch - the air and objects. This outer touch through the skin stimulates the inner touch of the mental faculties. The examination of pulse is to be in contact with sparsha tan matra, which is nothing but the tactile sense of touch. In a way, tan matra is a vehicle. Our consciousness goes out with the tanmatra and touches the outer object of perception. So, the five tan matras of sound, sight, smell, touch and taste are used by Ayurvedic physicians, or vaidyas, in order to diagnose many problems. These five tan matras are our doors of perception, our innermost instruments of experience.

When we feel the radial artery, the pulsation corresponds to the heart-beat which is the center of the five tanmatras. The word “heart,” is not just the physical heart but also the center of the innermost being from which we perceive. In the cranial cavity there is the brain—the meninges, dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater, the grey matter and the white matter. Inside the core of this white matter there is space and there are small spaces between neurons called synaptic spaces. This synaptic space in between the neurons is functionally connected to the space within the brain called chidakash. Within that space is a pulsation of prana and a flow of ojas and tejas. Prana carries a sensation through the vagus nerve and the phrenic nerve into the cardiac plexus. In Sanskrit this pulsation is called prana spanda. Spanda, which is the pranic current from the hypothalamus to the heart, moves at intervals of .08 seconds and stimulates the pacemaker sinoatrial node, the SA node, which is present in the right atrium. From there the pranic stimulation is carried down to the AV node, the atrioventricular node. Thus, prana regulates the movements of the heart.

The heart is a type of battery. In its rhythmic movement the heart generates electricity that is carried through the blood vessels and even to the skin. This movement of cardiac activity can be traced with a sensitive galvanometer. So, pulse not only represents the heart pumping, but also represents the flow of prana and the flow of vyana. All the subtypes of doshas are moving in the subtle form of tanmatras. Let us focus on the fourth level of the pulse, which is the level of ojas, tejas and prana.

Ojas is the pure essence of all dhatus (tissues) and is produced during the process of nutrition. It can be compared to the modern concept of albumin. Ojas includes albumin but albumin alone is not ojas. Ojas also includes protein and globulin, which are necessary to maintain immunity. But to say that globulin is ojas doesn’t convey the-entire meaning. Ojas is an actual substance. Ayurveda has described ojas as two types. Inferior ojas is half anjali, which moves throughout the body, and superior ojas is eight drops, which is present in the heart. This ojas has the smell of ghee and rice. It is a little yellowish-white in color, cool in attribute and tastes like honey. Ojas moves through the plasma and is represented at the fourth level by the pulsation under the ring finger, the kapha finger. Tejas can be compared to hormones and amino acids. There are 21 important amino acids that regulate cellular metabolism. Tejas is necessary for pilu paka and pithar paka, the agnis of cellular and nuclear metabolism. Tejas is also responsible for intelligence, understanding and comprehension at the cellular level. It is felt under the middle finger at the fourth level. Every cell is a center of awareness, every cell has a consciousness, and every cell is a unit of life. At one time each of us was an atomic cell. From that one atomic cell, the sperm, or the ovum, which is also unicellular, a complex multi-cellular mammal developed. There is a continuous flow of communication between any two cells of the body and that flow of communication is called prana, the flow of intelligence. The prana spike is found under the index finger at the fourth level. When feeling one’s own pulse, the right-hand pulse in the male and the left in the female, gently touch the superficial skin and feel the throbbing at the first level. Go down slightly and feel the spike change at the second level. Then at the third level the spike changes again. With a delicate pressure go into the fourth level where the spike once again changes. At that level feel the strength and quality of the spike. A spike under the kapha finger denotes the strength of ojas. The middle finger gives the power of tejas and the index finger gives the strength of prana. When the spike is weak, prana is weak; when the spike is strong, prana is strong. In the same way, if the spike under the middle finger is feeble, tejas is low; if the spike is strong, tejas is strong. Detecting these differences varies from person to person. Three plus (+++) is good ojas. Two plus (++) is moderate ojas. One plus (+) is very low ojas. One plus is 25 percent, two plus 50 percent, three plus 100 percent. One hundred percent, the superfine quality of ojas, is present in a perfectly healthy individual. Now feel the pulse, bringing all tanmatras to the tip of the finger. Ideally, ojas, tejas and prana should be equal—three plus—and that is good health. However, we work hard, we have. troubling emotions, we have responsibilities, and all these stresses decrease a person's ojas. In certain AIDS patients a very feeble ojas pulse is present, because their ojas is depleted. If tejas is four plus, that is too much and high tejas bums ojas. For example, in a person suffering from multiple sclerosis, high tejas burns the myelin sheath, which is composed of ojas.

There is condition known as demyelination which leads to multiple sclerosis. This is the reason why patients of multiple sclerosis get exhausted when exposed to too much cold or hot weather. Both heat and cold bother them. So, four plus tejas is abnormal. Four plus ojas is too much ojas and too much ojas is raw ojas, which creates diabetes and may lead to high cholesterol and high triglycerides. High prana makes a person disorganized and anxious. Ojas is the pure essence of kapha, tejas is the essence of pitta, and prana is the essence of vata.

Treatment of Depleted Ojas, Tejas and Prana

Depleted ojas can be treated with almond milk- Soak 10 almonds in a cup of water overnight. In the morning peel off the skins and put the almonds in a blender. Add one cup of hot milk. If the person is allergic to milk, use soy or rice milk. Add one teaspoon of date sugar, a pinch of cardamom, a pinch of ginger powder and one teaspoon of ghee and blend together. Regular brown sugar or turbinado may be used instead of date sugar. Saffron along with a few drops of rose essence may also be added. This is a wonderful, rich drink to take in the morning to build up ojas. This drink is also good for building shukra after having sex. If cholesterol is a concern, use skim milk. Ghee increases the good cholesterol, called HDL, but if one’s total cholesterol is high, avoid taking ghee. By using certain Ayurvedic herbal formulas, one can improve ojas- Pippali (Piper longum) with honey and ghee is a specific rasayana for prana. Taking one-fourth teaspoon of triphala with one teaspoon of honey and ghee will help to create balance of ojas, tejas and prana. Early morning is the best time to try this formula. Further, one should not fear that this will lead to increased cholesterol levels, because honey aids the regulation of cholesterol. Additionaly, shambhavi mudra helps to balance ojas, tejas and prana. (70) Yoga For Inner Exploration: Shambhavi Mudra - 5 mins #MeditateWithSadhguru - YouTube For depleted tejas- - Use one pinch of trikatu (ginger, black pepper, Piper longum) and one teaspoon of honey. - Take this combination about 15 minutes before lunch and dinner. These herbs taken before food kindle agni and act as an appetizer along with heling in improved digestion as well. Chewing a small piece of ginger with a pinch of salt and a few drops of fresh lime juice before eating will also kindle jathar agni thereby building tejas. Castor oil is beneficial for vata and, therefore, good for prana. But to build up tejas, castor oil would not be a good idea. Bitter ghee, tikta ghrita, is good for tejas. Tikta ghrita enhances tejas but doesn’t increase pitta. Take one teaspoon on an empty stomach twice a day, morning and evening, followed by half a cup of warm water. In order to improve prana, do pranayama- Sit comfortably on the floor in a cross-legged posture. If you are not comfortable in this position, then sit upright on the front edge of a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Close the right nostril with the right thumb and inhale gradually through the left nostril into the belly, not into the chest. During inhalation, count 1-2-3-4. After a full inhalation, close both the nostrils and do a gentle chin lock as you hold the breath in the belly and count 1-2-3-4, up to 16. Use a counting pattern of 4 to inhale and 16 to retain. Then open the right nostril while holding the left nostril closed with the ring and little fingers and exhale through the right nostril while counting till 8. This exhalation should be slow and steady as you count 1-2-3-4- 5-6-7-8. The speed of counting should be constant, viz a count of 4 for inhalation, 16 for retention, and 8 for exhalation. If this approach is too complicated or difficult at first, then inhale only for 2, retain up to 8, and exhale for 4 counts. After exhalation from the right nostril, hold the breath outside for a while then inhale through the right nostril, hold the breath into the belly by closing both nostrils, hold, and then exhale through the left nostril. Repeat, alternating the nostrils through which you inhale. If the mind is, too busy with the counting, just inhale slowly into the belly through the left nostril by closing the right nostril. Try to focus your attention behind your belly button. When oxygen is depleted in the lungs, one gets a swallowing reflex, which is a sign to exhale. Then slowly exhale through the opposite nostril. During exhalation there should be a continuous slow flow. Let the air dissolve into the outer space. Stay outside for a moment, then again inhale. Inhale through the right nostril, retain, and exhale through the left. Inhale through the left, retain, then exhale through the right. During breath retention do a chin lock and during exhalation release that lock. You use a chin lock to avoid direct pressure in the brain through the carotid artery. Do five pranayama, rest for one minute, then again do five pranayamas. In this way the vital capacity of the lungs can be increased. Another pranayama is bhastrika, breath of fire. Inhalation is passive, but exhalation is active with a little force- - Start slowly, then increase the speed. - Imagine a steam engine moving slowly and then have the train start moving faster. This action is thoraco-abdominal hyperventilation. - Do one round of 30 strokes or exhalations, then rest for one minute. This pranayama will also increase the vital capacity of the lungs. - Practice five rounds of bhastrika in the morning and five rounds in the evening. It will help to relieve allergy, asthma and will help make the lungs strong and healthy. Don’t do bhastrika during menstruation or pregnancy. If your pitta is high, substitute shitali, a cooling pranayama that involves breathing through a curled tongue. Another pranayama is called bhramari (humming). On inhalation, constrict the epiglottis and create a humming sound. On exhalation the sound is long and low. The inhalation is a female bee and the exhalation is a male bee. If it is difficult to create a humming noise during inhalation, just inhale naturally, take a deep breath into the belly, do a chin lock and then do bhramari on the exhale. Bhramari improves the melody of the voice. In addition, the humming vibrates the nervous system and is a form of sound therapy for the brain. Bhramari is also good for the thyroid, thymus and parathyroid glands. When doing bhramari, touch the tip of the tongue to the edge of the soft palate near the back of the roof of the mouth and be sure the teeth are not clenched. Bhairavi mudra is also called shambhavi mudra. Shambu is another name of Lord Shiva. In this state prana is enhanced. One can strengthen prana with pranayama through bhramari and bhastrika but intense prana unfolds in the lungs and body through bhairavi or shambhavl. One who practices shambhavi will be in a state of living samadhi. When practicing the bhairavi mudra, one looks at any object, say a wall. When looking at an object, let the eyes look and do not blink the eyelids. The eyes are looking and the eyes are not looking, which means there is no judgment,' no recognition, no identification. In Hindu art, philosophy and music everything is a way to God-realization. Hindu philosophy includes the Vedas, Ayurveda, music, art and even dance. Everything is a movement of life. Therefore, the Hindu concept of God is satyam shivam sundaram. Satyam is the truth, shiva the holy and divine and sundar is beauty. Bhairavi manifests as satyam shivam sundaram. As one looks outside, suddenly the attention goes inside. At that moment expansion of consciousness takes place. One is looking outside but the entire attention is inside, into the center of existence. In that state one finds union with expansive consciousness. One looks around, but there is no choice in the looking, no judgment, just choiceless observation. In this sense the choosers are the losers. The confused mind chooses. The mind that is insecure, agitated and unsatisfied chooses. Please don’t misunderstand me. I am talking about a different level of consciousness. In this art of meditation choice has no place. Choice only has a place in that one has chosen this way of meditation, that’s all. Look at anything, but in that looking there is emptiness. Thinking stops, breathing becomes quiet and one simply exists as pure awareness. In that state there is great joy, beauty and love. Sit absolutely relaxed, with no tension, and just look at the wall. Slightly open the mouth with no expression on the face. The hands are like an empty bowl facing the sky. Simply look and allow the breathing to become quiet. Enlightenment can come in a fraction of a second. Wherever the eyes and mind go, there is samadhi. Samadhi means equilibrium. In that state, individual consciousness merges with cosmic consciousness and one goes beyond time and thought. In that state, whether the eyes are open or closed doesn’t matter. It comes like a breeze without invitation, because this state is your true nature—love, become spontaneous and natural and will balance ojas, tejas and prana. We all need healing. We, as individuals, must bring awareness to our feelings and emotions. Otherwise, we never take responsibility for our healing. We always hold another person responsible for our suffering—Either mother, father or some planets in the sky. We need to accept the responsibility that “I am the pain and the pain is I. My pain is my creation; it is my reflection; it is I.” We must understand our relationship with our suffering and, in that understanding, we maintain our ojas. In that ojas there is the beautiful light of tejas, which is the perception. And in the flame of attention, grief and sadness burn and we become totally free. We have to protect our ojas, tejas and prana through awareness, because awareness is the flame of attention and the flame of attention is the luminosity of tejas. Prana directs attention to something, creating perception. Attention plus prana is perception. There are many things waiting for our perception, but we cannot perceive everything at one time. Perception is a product of time and our perception is a learned phenomenon, which is directed by knowledge and experience. In the perception of observer, object and observation, this trinity becomes one when ojas, tejas and prana are balanced. This balanced state is perfect health. When we are honest with our feelings and emotions, ojas is building, tejas is glowing, and prana is flowing. That is a state of good health, existing at every moment, in every event of life. Ayurveda says every breath, every moment, every event should be lived with total awareness. When listening to someone, at the same time listen to the listener. When looking at an object, at the same moment look at the looker. When you look at me, my body is an object and you are the observer. When I am looking at you, your body is the object and I am the observer. When you look outside, something goes out, one arrow goes out. At the same time, a second arrow goes into the heart to look at the looker. This is called double-arrowed attention. Read the full article

The balanced functions of three cryptic energies: Prana (energy or force oversee human beings), Tejas (inner light), and Ojas (strength) is called the immune system. Strong immunity is an outcome of proper digestion. In this article, we will explore how people with epilepsy disease can increase immunity with the use of Ayurveda. Agni, the universally accepted principle of renewal that manifests as the digestive fire, transform’s food into energy-giving elements for body tissues and waste. The Agni of the body needs to be kindled through Ayurveda to digest Ama (toxins), which have manifested due to internal or external factors like stress. Good immunity decreases the risk of diseases for individuals and helps in living a healthy life. Whereas Ama, known as the digestive impurities generated by eating difficult to subsume foods or by following unhealthy eating habits, depletes the immunity and health of people.

Ojas is the ultimate resort of strength, patience and endurance for body and mind. Ojas is cultivated in Ayurveda for disease prevention, deep healing, rejuvenation and longevity. It is cultivated in Yoga for inner strength, determination and vitality, steadiness and focus of mind and prana.

Ojas is the essence of all seven bodily tissues of plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, nerve and reproductive. As such, Ojas is the ultimate product of the long term nutritional process and holds the seed energy of the entire body. It is most connected to the subtle tissues of nerve and reproductive, indicating its influence on the mind and its creative force and its ability to hold Prana. Yet is gives muscular strength and physical stamina overall.

Ojas is the higher essence of Kapha dosha, the biological water humor, which is the main nutritional support of the tissues, most of which are Kapha (watery) in nature. Ojas protects all the seven tissues from within as their essence. In addition, we posses a certain inborn Ojas, our congenital strength and vitality. This varies at an individual basis and gets reduced through the aging process. We have eight drops of the higher Ojas in the heart behind all the tissues, but it has the power to pervade the entire body, just as a single drop of sandalwood can pervade the entire body with its fragrance.

The state of our Ojas is indicated by our long term stability and continuity for positive energies and actions of body and mind. It provides the inner power to take us through challenges, difficulties and dangers, particularly those that are unexpected or prolonged, without wavering or losing our strength and composure.

This deep seated energy of Ojas can be depleted, which can lead to the breakdown of physical or psychological immunity, loss of resistance to disease, vulnerability to toxins, and hastening the aging process. Ojas can be weakened by serious or long term diseases and injuries, but stress, overwork and malnutrition over a period of time undermine it.

Signs of low Ojas include chronic fatigue, nervous debility, depression, anxiety, insomnia, weakness of the muscles and bones, tremors and loss of body weight. Examining the condition and strength of our Ojas is a key factor of Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment, as proper Ojas is necessary to keep the doshas in balance, along with holding our organic equilibrium overall.

Building Ojas

Ojas is increased mainly by nutritional factors of nourishing foods and tonic herbs. Ojas-increasing herbs include famous Ayurvedic tonic and rejuvenative agents like ashwagandha, bala, shatavari, amalaki, shilajit , guduchi, and preparations like Chyavan Prash, Brahma Rasayana, Agastya Rasayana and Ashwagandha Lehyam, including certain special guggul preparations. Ayurvedic massage oils like Mahanarayan, Dhanvantaram, Balashwagandha or Kshirabala strengthen it. Relative to supporting Ojas as psychological immunity important herbs are brahmi, manduka parni , tulsi and shankha pushpi, notably Brahmi ghee. Massage oils to the head like Chandanadi aid in psychological immunity, as well as aromas like sandalwood.

While spices in themselves do not increase Ojas, they can help extract Ojas from the food, notably turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and cloves. Garlic and onions help build Ojas, though their nature is not sattvic.

Foods for Ojas include milk, ghee, almonds, cashews, sesame (tahini), as well as root vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams), whole grains (wheat and oats) and dals (like mung) and special foods like lotus root or seeds. or makkhana. Coconut water helps protect Ojas at times of stress and depletion.

Prana, Tejas and Ojas

Ojas  is part of a triad of subtle energies as Prana, Tejas and Ojas. Tejas, our inner vital warmth and radiance, arises out of Ojas as its fuel, like that of a ghee lamp. Ojas is the fuel for our higher Agnis, the powers of Tejas and Tapas in Yoga, including the Yogagni.

Good Prana, the higher Vata component, is necessary to activate Ojas, which as a watery factor requires to be circulated properly. Similarly, good Ojas is necessary to sustain Prana, as Ojas can hold a deeper level of vital force, our second wind as it were. Ojas supporting the lungs and heart helps us with deeper pranayama practices and kumbhaka. Without proper Ojas to hold it, strong pranayama practices can disturb the nervous system.

Ojas and Immunity today

Disturbed electrical energies from the environment overall deplete Ojas, just as they deplete immunity and increase stress. This means that most of us, particularly with high tech urban lifestyles, are living in a condition in which our Ojas is low or irregular. Many of us are ungrounded, alienated from nature, lacking in composure, and easily disturbed or irritated. Yet Ojas requires upon a sattvic and disciplined lifestyle (yoga sadhana), with regular meals, exercise and meditation. We cannot simply imbibe from the outside, though it can be renewed through retreats in nature and rejuvenation practices.

The current pandemic reflects low or disrupted Ojas at individual and collective levels, weak immunity and greater vulnerability. If we work at strengthening our Ojas, we can protect and strengthen our immune system for future challenges, such as this high tech era makes us more vulnerable to and increase with age. Strengthening Ojas remains a primary therapy for immunity, harmony and wellbeing overall. It should be considered as part of all Ayurvedic treatment.

Ojas and Yoga

Ojas is strongly connected to the mind and nervous system and gives steadiness, attention and focus, grounding our higher awareness. Without Ojas we lack the stamina for the yogic disciplines and the flow of higher yogic energies like Kundalini Shakti. That is why great Yogis put an emphasis on Ojas. Bhakti Yoga is said to increase it by helping us to surrender our ego, which is the basis of weak psychological immunity. Ojas in the brain and mind sustains deep meditation. Ojas is strongly connected to the root or Muladhara or root chakra as it holds the Earth element in the body and mind. Without its grounding power the volatile energies of body and mind cannot be held or concentrated.

If Ojas is strong at a psychological level, we will not suffer from depression, anxiety, fear, anger or emotional ups and downs. We will be resistant to flattery and insult, and all the myriad attractions and repulsions of the external world, possessing our own inner contentment. Our mental energy will follow a steady calm flow like a wide river, not a quickly dispersed agitated current.

Ojas is symbolized by the bull, including Lord Shiva’s bull Nandi and Indra’s bull that holds the supreme strength in the Vedas. OM represents the power of Ojas at the level of primal sound. Many are the secret powers of Ojas that we can begin to explore through Yoga and Ayurveda.

Ayurveda aspect of immunity Ayurveda has discussed epidemics in Janapadodhamsaneeya adhyaaya in Charaka samhita. The spread of epidemics is majorly attributed to vitiated air, water, land and season. Abnormality in seasons might lead to decreased potency in herbs and so it is clearly mentioned to collect herbs before the onset of diseases and administer medicines to people before the epidemics spread, as a preventive measure. It is astonishing that long before the discovery of the immune system, the ancient medical science of Ayurveda has detailed discussions about immunity and epidemics. Discussed in various contexts by different synonyms like vyadhi kshamtvam, ojas, tejas, prana and bala, which is a by-product of a string agni and good digestion, Ojas or vigour is the subtle essence of all the bodily tissues (sapta dhathus), which is considered the seat of prana or the vital force. Being the ultrafine essence of bodily tissues, the first step towards building a healthy immune system is consuming a healthy, wholesome diet which is based on one’s prakriti and seasonal changes as prescribed according to the Ayurvedic regimen. A daily routine based on the principles of Ayurveda will help you to calm your senses and relieving stress, which can be an important step towards building a strong immune system. Traditional herbal blend of certain Ayurvedic medicines helps in detoxifying the blood and improving the immunity of the body and is naturally rejuvenating. Yoga, pranayama and other procedures mentioned in daily regimens in Ayurveda and practised by our ancestors needs to be re-introduced into our lives to help fight stress and bringing in inner peace which will foster a better and stronger body with an improved immune system.

Mastery of Senses

       Imagine you had multiple food entries in different parts of your body--bear with me!! Not only mouth which is for your daily food, but your eyes had a mouth and would eat and absorb whatever you show it, same as your ears would eat and absorb whatever you listened to, your nose similarly to the mouth, would absorb whatever you smell, so as the pores of your body would absorb and eat the emotional vibration of people who you’ve been surrounded with, and last one at least your mind which would constantly eat junk thoughts and boring patters.  

    Now I really hope that your imagination is willing to imagine the next  perception as I’m about to present. Imagine that each of these senses are like little children asking for different stimulants, waiting for your respond. Sadly, like an immature ignorant parent we’ll respond: “aww you craved that? here you go, and you accomplish whatever they want you to do.”, and that’s not the end of the story as far as there are plenty of stimulants every micro second.(either of your children-like senses desire them or not.) WE HAVE BECOME SLAVES TO STUMILANTS AS WELL AS OUR CHILDREN-LIKE SENSES WHICH CRAVE MORE OF THOSE STIMULANTS

 The question is what are these stimulants?

  Stimulants are as simple as your everyday coffee, chocolate, alcohol, fast-food, processed food, scrolling Instagram posts, smoking, non-stop news/podcasts/music available, google on how to do anything, porn websites, books and basically overburden of knowledge, science and technology.

Now here are my top favorite ways to patiently decrease responding to the whining child:

Sit up straight in a comfortable position, then only put you focus on normal breath. the breath as it comes in as it goes on, if any thoughts arises (like how children interrupt you); put your focus back on the breath.

Be accountable for the choices you make every moment,. Ask yourself; am I responding to a stimulant? or, is it a choice based on my healthy ideal life?

Acknowledge the power within you. You are the one who creates your own reality, nothing else have more power over you than yourself.

Don’t Suppress the senses. Sometimes all you have to do is to observe you’re fulfilling what your senses are crying for, and you’re the slave. 

Consider Fasting. Not only your gut benefits from a healthy intermediate fasting, but also your eyes, ears, nose, and mind from taking some time off from constant bond with phone, TV, all medias, news, books, music. ( I promise your mind and body have more to offer to you than everything outside of yourself.) Also fast from those who you might have toxic relationship with. 

Practice Bhramari Pranayama. Take a look at this video: https://youtu.be/eZYOOCpMGk0

Conclusions:

Pratyahara is 1 out of 8 limbs of Patanjali’s Ashtanga yoga, which yogis practice it through withdrawal of their senses, meditation, pranayama, and directing their prana, ojas and tejas in a way that most benefits their mind and body state of being. 

We can also choose this conscious decision to live beyond what has been always offered to us, which is nothing but distraction from the true essence of our being which is purity and goodness. 

Which one do you think can practice in your daily life?

The Five Elements of Ayurveda - Ether, Air, Fire, Water & Earth

The Five Elements

Aurveda's core view is the connection between the macrocosm and the microcosm, from the universal to the individual, meaning what cxists outside also exists within us. The five great elements (pancha mahabhuta) that compose the world around us also make up our inner world. These elements-space, air, fire, water, earth-form the building blocks of life and mirror the basic principles in physics of space, energy, transformation, liquid, and matter. Each element is connected to a subtle energy, a tanmatra, that is associated with our senses--sound, touch, vision, taste, and smell.

Let's explore how the elements form our physical body.

Ether/Space (Akasha)

Ether or space, akasha, is the first and subtlest of all the elements. Ether is the space in which everything exists. It is universal, nonmoving, and formless. Its qualities are clear, light, subtle, soft, and immeasurable. This clement is related to the actions of expansion and vibration. The tanmatra of space is sound (shabda), and the ear is the Sensory organ that perceives sound.

Air (Vayu)

The air element, vayu, is the energy of movement. It initiates and directs motion. Its qualities are mobile, dry, light, cold, rough, and subtle. The tanmatra of air is touch (sparsha), and the sensory organ is skin, which helps detect movement. In the body, air expresses itself in the movement of the muscles, lungs, heart, and impulses of the nervous system. Its responsible for breathing, ingestion and elimination, and the flow of thought. Prana is the basic principle of the air element, the vital life force that is primarily taken in through breath and which life cannot exist without.

Fire (Agni)

The fire element, agni, is the energy of transformation. The qualities of fire are hot, sharp, light, dry, and subtle. The tanmatra of fire is vision (rupa), and the eyes are the sensory organ responsible for sight. The fire element governs all metabolic processes, aiding in the digestion of food, transformation of thoughts, and perception of light. Tejas is the subtle essence of fire, the burning flame of pure intelligence that pro-cesses all perception into knowledge.

Water (Apas)

From subtle to gross, the next element is water, called apas. Its main actions are cohesion and adhesion. Its qualities are cool, liquid, dull, soft, oily, and slimy. The tanmatra of water is taste (rasa). The tongue is the sensory organ that plays a large role in our experience of eating and our sense of satisfaction. Water lives in the body as plasma, saliva, mucous, cerebrospinal fuid, urine, and sweat. Ojas is the subtle essence of water, giving vitality and immunity to the bodily tissues.

Earth (Prithvi)

The earth element, prithvi, is the densest of all. It creates shape and structure. It is heavy, dull, dense, hard, and gross. The tanmatra of earth is smell (gandba), and the sensory organ is the nose. The earth element shapes all the body's solid structures and tissues, including the bones, cartilage, nails, teeth, hair, and skin.

Incorporating Ayurvedic principles into massage therapy goes beyond mere relaxation; it offers a holistic approach to harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit, promoting overall well-being. By addressing the elemental balance specific to an individual's constitution, we can tailor massages to effectively target stress and tension, ultimately leading to a more relaxed and grounded nervous system.

Analysing Prakruti and Vikruti with Nadi

Manas means mind. The mental and physical bodies are bridged together by prana, the life force. Consciousness is the spirit, the soul, about which modem medical science speaks very little. Since modern medical science places more emphasis on objective proof, it often overlooks subjectivity. The Sanskrit word pratyaksham means what one observes or perceives. Personal perception is limited and to prove everything objectively is difficult. Subjectivity and objectivity must be bridged'. Objectivity is limited, but subjective experiences are vast. All subjective experiences belong to the mind and all objective barometers are connected to the body. It is important to note that manas prakruti and vikruti, form a bridge between objectivity and subjectivity.

The Mental Constitution and the Present Flow of Consciousness  Ayurveda is a science (objective truth), a philosophy (subjective truth) and an art of medicine all in one. It assays the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual components of life—encompassing the complete definition of life. What emerges from this definition is the understanding that life expresses in numerous modes—mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Influences upon us affect one or several of these aspects of life. For example, According to Ayurveda a mental trauma, will have emotional, physical and spiritual implications on the human mind,body and soul. Thus, each aspect of life both affects and reflects changes in the other modes of existence as well. Hence, manas prakruti is important to assess. The seventh, the deepest level of the pulse, reveals the physical constitution of the human body. The sixth level is the mental constitution. According to Charaka, mind is the faculty which directs the senses toward an object of perception to create contact and then carries the sensation to the intellect to produce knowledge. Charaka also speaks about the pervasiveness of mind. Perceiving is a function of the mind and all tanmatras are present both within and outside the mind. The mind communicates with the subtle forces of the tanmatras and, therefore, mind also pervades. Every object in this world is waiting for our perception, but unless we pay attention to these objects, they do not exist for us. Unless the mind directs the senses to a particular object, we cannot perceive that object. Thus mind plays a very important role. Touch is everywhere, but touch belongs to the inner mind. The moment an outer object touches the mind, it carries that touch sensation to the inner faculty for interpretation. When looking at a star, one is touching that star. It is the touch of perception. Touch is of three types—sattvic, rajasic and tamasic. Sattvic, pure perception, gives us knowledge which nourishes consciousness. Cell is the center of consciousness and cellular consciousness is nourished by pure knowledge given by the mind. This process is due to sattva. But if the mind has more rajasic and tamasic qualities, perception is distorted and distorted perception leads to wrong conclusions, wrong judgments, wrong knowledge and a wrong image. These distortions build up ama and affect the individual psychosomatically. Let us try to understand manas prakruti at the sixth level of the pulse, which denotes the flow of consciousness.

An important aspect of Indian philosophy is the theory of the five elements. When checking for manas prakruti, the person should be facing the east direction. This position will help to clarify the reading represented in the diagram. The index finger of the examiner is Air, which is vata, and is pictured as a wave. The middle finger has a spike like pitta and is represented by a triangle. Kapha is composed of the Earth and Water elements, so the ring finger is represented by a square. The lotus at the bottom of the illustration represents the finger resting on the radial artery. Under each finger checking the pulse, one can imagine that there is an eight-petaled lotus. When feeling someone’s pulse, use the diagram of this lotus to find the location of the spike. Each petal of the lotus can be numbered for convenience of understanding and the number of the direction should be noted under each finger. For example, under the index finger one might note the direction as V5. The middle finger might indicate P7. The ring finger may reveal a reading of K. If the spike is in the east, Petal Number 1, that indicates an Indra personality, which is royal and religious. If the spike is at the position of the second petal, the southeast direction, that shows an Agni personality, which means knowledge. That person is a worshiper of knowledge. The third petal is a Yama personality, impartial. Yama is the God of Death, who loves everyone equally. He takes away the soul and puts an end to the individual’s life. These people with Yama personalities are quite impartial. They love no one, which means they love everyone, and they are also withdrawn and introspective. A spike in the fourth petal indicates a Nairutya personality. These people love to sleep and are tamasic. Indra is sattvic, Agni is rajasic, Yama is tamasic and the direction of Nairutya is also tamasic. A spike in the west, Petal Number 5, is Varuna, which is sattvic. People with a Varuna personality are loving and compassionate. Petal Number 6, which is northwest, is Vayavya, which is rajasic. The Vayavya personality is emotional with mood swings. A spike at the seventh petal indicates Kubera, which is sattvic. People with this personality are rich in mind and blessed with long life. Petal Number 8 is Ishanya, which is also sattvic. These people are fortunate and spiritual. This classification is explained in ancient nadi texts, which we are now learning in the twentieth century. These ancient texts tried to bridge subjectivity and objectivity. Now to learn the technique, go to the deepest pulse at the seventh level. Then gently release the pressure and come to the sixth level, where the spike changes. At the seventh level the spike will be felt at the center of the lotus. With a slight release of pressure to the sixth level, the change of direction will be felt toward one of the petals of the lotus. Try to focus your attention on each finger separately. Under the vata finger find out whether the spike is at Indra, Agni, Yama, or one of the others. Take a note of the reading. Turn your attention to the pitta finger and find the direction of the spike. Then feel the kapha finger. With this information manas prakruti can be understood as a mixed prakruti of vata, pitta and kapha. The spike under each finger might be at a different petal of the lotus, helping to clarify the understanding of the individual’s personality. Don’t compare the reading with the prakruti of the subject, just feel the direction of the spike while visualizing the lotus. To simplify, pay attention to which finger has a more prominent throbbing. Suppose the prominent throbbing is under the index finger. Then read manas prakruti under the finger with the most prominent throb, because the mind and consciousness are expressing, through that throb. Suppose the prominent throbbing is best felt under the index and middle fingers, compare which is more prominent. Under that prominent finger, meditate and visualize this eight-petaled lotus. This is a subtle perception. There is an eight-petaled lotus under each of the fingers of the examiner and one can read all three fingers, but that is too complicated initially. For beginners it is better to practice on the finger with the prominent spike, one finger at a time. Once you read your own manas prakruti, turn to a friend and try to feel his or her manas prakruti. Ideally the subject should be facing east and the reader should be facing the west direction, which will simplify the reading. The tips of the fingers, of the person being examined are always visualized as facing the east direction. However, any direction can be faced as long as the anterior aspect is seen as east and the posterior aspect as west. Keep the finger reading the pulse stationary. Don’t move it in all eight directions. This is imagination, but the greatest scientist is gifted with a positive power of imagination. Try to be a scientist and be imaginative. Use the right hand of the person for a man and the left hand for a woman. The lotus is in the same position on both hands. Don’t become confused by the position of the subject’s thumb on the right and left hands. The orientation of the lotus is the same on both hands and does not change in its relationship to the position of the thumb. Just keep the orientation of the fingertips of the subject facing east.

Planetary Principles in the Nadi

The sixth level of the pulse can also denote planetary principles acting in the nadi. These readings may not correspond to one’s Jyotish astrological birth chart. The sixth level of the pulse indicates the status of the mental body. The modern term astral body is composed of the ancient Upanishad descriptions of the prana body and the manas body. The movement of prana becomes disturbed by the vibrations of thoughts, feelings and emotions coming from the manas body. So, the mental body can disturb the astral body and the astral body can disturb the mental body. Before pathological changes happen in the physical body, subtle changes take place in the mental and astral bodies. In other words, the mental and astral bodies play an indirect role in the immune system, affecting Agni, tejas and ojas.

Many times, people ask what stone they should wear, on which day they should fast or which deity they should worship. The sixth level of the pulse reveals this information. Read each finger in the same way as for manas prakruti. For example, if the reading of the petal numbers denotes V2 P3 K5, V2 represents Ketu and the person should wear a cat’s eye or a pearl. Petal Number 3 on the pitta finger is Mars, so the person should wear a red coral necklace. With this combination of vata and pitta the person should wear a red coral necklace with a pearl in the center. Petal Number 5 on the kapha finger represents Jupiter and the stone to be used is a yellow sapphire. Using the correct gems facilitates healing. Life without a personal deity is without direction, leading us to a feeling of un-groundedness. When anchored with a deity, one will never feel lonely or ungrounded. One’s connection with a personal deity brings stability, direction and perfume to life. Then the whole life becomes a celebration, not a meaningless futile game. It is difficult to have a direct relationship with Almighty God, but worship of a personal deity such as Ganesha, Vishnu, Rama, Krishna, Christ or Buddha brings communion with higher consciousness. Almighty God is experienced through the personal deity and this deity becomes a bridge to salvation and enlightenment. The choice is also guided by which doshas are active in the manas prakruti and vikruti. If vata is active, the person should wear a cat’s eye, which will calm vata. There is a bridge between dosha, planets and gemstones in manas prakruti. When one fasts on a specified day, the blessing of that particular planet is received. In Ayurveda there is a branch of astrology called astrotherapy (graha chikitsa) which addresses the influences of the planets upon the person. For example, a person has a pitta problem and under the pitta finger the spike is in the Mars position (Petal Number 3).This high pitta is due to the affliction of Mars in the mind. Wearing a red coral necklace will absorb the Mars energy and fasting on Tuesday will calm down pitta and the Mars provoking influence. Fasting according to these principles will eliminate mental impurities or ama. Enlightenment has many doors and there ‘are many paths to realization. God never asks through which door you come, in which car you arrive or on which flight. He is just happy to see you and bless you. There are many ways to become enlightened—mantra yoga, jhana yoga, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, chanting the holy name of God, fasting, doing puja, doing worship—all these ways lead to God.  The Ayurvedic culture makes life a splendid ceremony. Even death becomes a ceremony. People take the body, carry it to the cremation yard, chant mantra, burn the body to ashes and carry the ashes to the sacred river. The deceased person’s soul is happy and that soul has equal energy to that of God.

Therefore, never speak bad things about a deceased person. This is very important. A person makes his life miserable if he carries unresolved emotions about a deceased father or mother. Never ever carry unresolved anger about a deceased person. When a person has ceased to exist physically, that anger should be resolved and released. The deities related to the Sun are Rama, Gayatri Devi and Christ. Shiva is related to the Moon and Monday is a good day to worship Shiva. Mars is connected to Lord Ganesh and, when Mars is activated, Ganesh will cool down Mars energy. Mercury is related to Lord Vithala, Krishna and Vishnu, Jupiter to Lord Dattatraya, Lakshmi and also Lord Balaji. Buddhists worship Buddha. Venus, Friday, is Lakshmi, Sarasvatl, Durga and Allah. Saturday is Lord Shani and Hanuman. Hanuman is also worshipped to calm down Mars. According to Vedic philosophy, Hanuman is a living entity who is the son of Wind God and travels with the speed of the wind. He is the dedicated servant of Rama. Hanuman is full of love. He stands for bhakti and service. He protects us from evil energy, such as ghosts and spirits. Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa on Saturday and Tuesday will activate this protective energy. Rahu and Ketu are pleased by worshipping them on Saturday and Tuesday respectively. Fasting from sunrise to sunset is a good discipline, cleansing the body, mind and consciousness. For fasting take fruits or fruit juice, which are sattvic, and don’t eat any cooked grains. In Hinduism there are 36,000 deities. The Hindus worship everything as a manifestation of God—trees, flowers, and there is even a special day for cows. They also worship the bull, which is a vehicle of Lord Shiva. They are innocent like a child and innocence is the perfume of life. Knowledge is beautiful but knowledge makes the person rigid, it makes the person logical. Logic is based upon knowledge and reasoning. On the other hand, intelligence is creative. Hence, logic has no intelligence.

Chakras in the Nadi

The word chakra means wheel and chakras are centres of energy in the body related to physical, mental and spiritual energies. If the flow of energy in any of these centres becomes blocked, stress is reflected in the physiology. The sixth level of the pulse also reveals how well each of these chakras is functioning. If a spike is present, that chakra is working under stress. A healthy chakra has no spike. Return to the same sixth level pulse to find which chakra is stressed. Reading this information is slightly different. Gently move the finger and find the location of the spike. The ring finger at the proximal curvature denotes the activity of muladhara, the first chakra, and at the distal curvature the activity of svadhisthana, the second chakra, is felt. On the middle finger one can detect manipura and anahata respectively. On the index finger one will feel visuddha and the sixth chakra, which is ajna. The central part of each finger denotes the activity of sahasrara. When a spike is present, that chakra is working under stress and the kundalini shakti is blocked there. That chakra needs cleansing work. A healthy chakra has no spike because the kundalini energy moves smoothly. A dynamo that works perfectly creates no noise. However, the dynamo that is cracked creates a loud noise. Hence, the chakra that is working under stress creates a spike. We are ordinary people who are involved in worldly affairs and our chakras may not be open. What is the spike of an enlightened person? An enlightened person will have a gentle balanced spike at the site of sahasrara under all three fingers. The bija mantra for each chakra is given in the illustration of Chakras in the Pulse. Lam is for muladhara, vam for svadhisthana, ram for manipura, yam for anahata, ham for visuddha, sham-ksham for ajna, so-hum for sahasrara, and aum for bliss, located about the width of 10 fingers above the physical brain. This point is the junction between the auric field and cosmic consciousness and is called anuchara, the unspoken soundless sound, the sound of one hand clapping, sound without duality.

If the person mentally recites the appropriate mantra 108 times, it helps to release the blockage and open any chakra. The chakra system and chromo-therapy go together. The seven rainbow colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and indigo, and they are also the colours of the chakras, from muladhara to sahasrara respectively. A spike at muladhara on the proximal curvature of the ring finger may be connected to the reproductive organs— testicles, ovaries, cervix and prostate. The person may have sexual debility or low libido. If the spike is on the distal curvature of the ring finger, it is connected to the second chakra, svadhisthana—kidney, urethra, bladder and adrenals. The second chakra is also connected to the spleen and governs the water element. The third chakra is functionally connected to the stomach, pancreas, small intestine, liver and gallbladder. The fourth chakra relates to the heart and lungs and the fifth to the vocal cords, thyroid and parathyroid. The sixth is related to the third eye and the pituitary gland and the seventh to the pineal. With this understanding, now try to read your own chakra pulse and then read the condition of your friend’s chakra pulse. The right hand in the man and the left hand in the woman should be used to understand the chakras. To find this pulse at the sixth level, gently tune your finger to locate the presence of the spike. Try to contact the throb. This information is at the same sixth level as manas prakruti and the planetary influences, but fine tuning is different. A spike at sahasrara on the kapha finger means the crown chakra has a tarpaka kapha disorder. A spike at sahasrara under the pitta finger indicates sadhaka pitta is involved. If the spike is under the index finger, prana vata is involved. An uneven spike at the sahasrara site under all three fingers means the person is mentally disturbed. But if the spikes are equally balanced at this position under all three fingers, the person is enlightened.

The Present Flow of Consciousness

Now let us shift our attention to the second level. Just a bit below the superficial pulse on the first level, the spike changes. The second level represents the present flow of consciousness. Although we refer to this present flow of consciousness as manas vikruti, it is more appropriately called the present status of the mind. Under each finger visualize the eight-petaled lotus representing the eight directions in the same manner as at the sixth level. This pulse changes approximately every 90 minutes, due to changing thought waves and feelings. It is not permanent, because it is a flow of consciousness connected to the thought wave.

At one moment there may be a wave of sadness and depression. In the second moment one may feel happy and cheerful. A spike in the east direction (Petal Number 1) represents creative, positive thoughts. A spike in the southeast (Petal Number 2) represents judgmental thoughts, sometimes self-criticism or perfectionism which is judgmental. Pitta people are often, perfectionist kind of people which creates a lot of stress in them. A spike in the south (Petal Number 3) indicates depression and low self-esteem. The fourth direction is southwest (Petal Number 4), representing pessimistic thinking. The west direction (Petal Number 5) is attachment and emotional thinking. People are attached to status, relationships and objects. Attachment can be to anything. The northwest direction (Petal Number 6) represents a chattering mind and north (Petal Number 7) indicates thinking of money and success. Northeast (Petal Number 8) is spiritual thought. The mind is calm, quiet and serene. This level may or may not be the same as the manas prakruti at the sixth level. For example, a person may be born with a sattvic manas prakruti but may become predominantly rajasic manas vikruti as he or she reaches adulthood. Perhaps the vata finger may indicate depression but the pitta finger may show judgmental thinking and the kapha finger vikruti but may become predominantly rajasic manas vikruti as he or she reaches adulthood. Now we will try to read the second level of the pulse. First read your own and then your friend’s pulse. Keep the fingers still. For comparison, use each finger separately. Perhaps the vata finger may indicate depression but the pitta finger may show judgmental thinking and the kapha finger into your prana with your inhalation. However, you should exercise caution with this practice because you may receive the energies of the subject and pick up the person’s feelings and emotions. To feel someone’s pulse is an energy exchange. There are certain methods to protect oneself. Practice So-Hum meditation and watch the breath. In addition, wearing gemstones and crystals such as amethyst, rose quartz and a rudraksha mala will add protection. One can also practice the meditation of passive awareness during which there is doing without the sense of the doer. Emotions can enter through the breath. When one unconsciously breathes in, one can take in another person’s energy. Even when walking by someone on the street who is throwing out thoughts of anger and fear, these molecules, these atoms of thoughts are inhaled.

When arriving home, if the feelings of sadness come without any apparent reason, we have picked up that person’s energy. Conscious breathing and the So-Hum mantra are very important. When practicing So-Hum meditation, one does not incorporate other people’s energy. One remains alert and tranquil. There are many ways to improve the sensitivity in the fingers. Rub the fingers with certain medicated oils containing brahmi and vacha, which bring more alertness and sensitive observation. I always do So-Hum meditation when I. feel the pulse. With So-Hum, the mind is not interfering, the thoughts and feelings are not interfering and the perception of the pulse becomes clear. You can also use any guru-given authentic mantra. A mantra can neutralize the blockage and interference created by one’s own thoughts and pulsations. Examining an individual’s pulse is meditation. Meditate, feel the pulse, focus attention on the mantra and you will feel pulse under your fingers. In this way the reading will be accurate. Practically, the sixth level of manas prakruti doesn’t change unless one becomes enlightened. When one transcends normal consciousness, that person is beyond manas prakruti, and to practice meditation is to go beyond manas prakruti. Up to this point, pulse reading has been more technical but to realize the subtleties of the pulse needs mere sensitive awareness. The concepts presented in this article are complicated and will bring up many questions in the mind of the reader. However, all these questions can be answered by the development of subjective perception. Read the full article

The balanced functions of three cryptic energies: Prana (energy or force oversee human beings), Tejas (inner light), and Ojas (strength) is called the immune system. Strong immunity is an outcome of proper digestion. In this article, we will explore how people with epilepsy disease can increase immunity with the use of Ayurveda. Agni, the universally accepted principle of renewal that manifests as the digestive fire, transform’s food into energy-giving elements for body tissues and waste. The Agni of the body needs to be kindled through Ayurveda to digest Ama (toxins), which have manifested due to internal or external factors like stress. Good immunity decreases the risk of diseases for individuals and helps in living a healthy life. Whereas Ama, known as the digestive impurities generated by eating difficult to subsume foods or by following unhealthy eating habits, depletes the immunity and health of people.

26 FEBRUARY 2021, FRIDAY (IST)8:08 AM - SPH APPEARANCE SHAKTI PADA AND SHAKTINI PADA WITH THE LIVE DARSHAN OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), JAGATGURU MAHASANNIDHANAM (JGM), HIS DIVINE HOLINESS (HDH) BHAGAVAN NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. TODAY IS THE NINTH DAY OF THE RAJARAJESHWARI BRAHMOTSAVAM. DEVI RAJARAJESHWARI IS GRACING US IN SARVA ALANKARA.THE UTSAVA VIGRAHA (DEITY) OF THE SPH JGM HDH BHAGAVAN NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM IS GRACING IN SARASWATI ALANKARAM. *08:21 AM TO 09:29 AM IST - NITHYANANDA SATSANG*PARAMASHIVA’S MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM KAILASA:*WHEN A BODY IS USED ACTIVELY, INTENSELY, IT IS HEALTHY.*WHEN THE INTERNAL ORGANS ARE KEPT INTENSELY ACTIVE, IT HAS LONG LIFE.*THE MIND THAT IS SINCERE, IS KEPT FOCUSED AND ALIGNED TO THE PURPOSE OF LIFE.•CONSCIOUSNESS, SPONTANEOUSLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY MANIFESTS ITSELF THROUGH THE ABOVE THREE LAYERS.•FOR EXAMPLE: WHEN YOU USE THE BODY INTENSELY AND ACTIVELY, YOU'LL BECOME ENERGETIC.•THE MORE YOU USE THE BODY, THE MORE YOU BECOME HEALTHY.•THE MORE YOU USE YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE FASTING, EVERY ORGAN BECOMES MORE ACTIVE AND MORE USABLE.•EVERY TIME YOU FAST FOR CONTINUOUS 24 HOURS, THE WHOLE SYSTEM BECOMES ACTIVE AND ALIVE.•THAT IS WHY I INSIST ALWAYS, TWO TIMES IN A WEEK, DO FASTING, DO GOOD TO YOURSELF. THAT IS THE BEST WAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY PAMPER YOURSELF. WHOEVER WANTS TO LIVE A ROYAL LIFE, FAST TWO DAYS.*EATING LIKE A PIG WHENEVER YOU CAN, WITH WHATEVER YOU GET IS THE CHEAPEST WAY OF TREATING YOURSELF.*IT IS LIKE TREATING YOURSELF LIKE A GARBAGE CAN / DUSTBIN.*ONCE IN A WEEK, TREAT YOURSELF GOOD. *I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU ARE AN INITIAL LEVEL SEEKER, ONCE A WEEK, TREAT YOURSELF ROYALLY, MEANS STOP EATING; 24 HOURS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD. *IF YOU ARE VERY SINCERE ABOUT ENLIGHTENMENT, THEN TWICE A WEEK, TREAT YOURSELF ROYALLY, MEANS STOP EATING; 24 HOURS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD. THAT'S THE BEST PAMPERING YOU CAN DO TO YOU.*ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LIVE A ROYAL LIFE SHOULD DO THIS.*IF YOU CAN, DO DRY FASTING. IF NOT, JUST WATER IS OK - WATER FASTING.*ALL YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS WILL BECOME ALIVE!*THE BEST FOOD FOR YOUR BODY IS WHAT IS ALREADY GATHERED AND STORED.*ALLOW THE BODY TO EAT ITSELF WITHOUT GIVING FOOD FROM OUTSIDE.*I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO IN EXTREME POVERTY DON’T EAT AND VERY POWERFUL ROYAL PEOPLE WHO DON'T EAT, NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HIGHER PURPOSE TO STOP EATING.*SO I WILL USE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS - PEOPLE WHO DON'T EAT BECAUSE OF POVERTY AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T EAT BECAUSE ‘POWER-TY’ - A NEW WORD! USE THIS WORD! *FOR EXAMPLE, THIS GREAT MOUNA SWAMI WHO LIVED IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, I HAVE SEEN HIM FOR YEARS -  NEVER ATE OR DRANK ANYTHING. HE USED TO SIT IN THE SOUTHERN TOWER OF THE TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE. EVEN NOW THERE IS A SMALL MEMORIAL IN THE PLACE HE USED TO SIT IN SAMADHI. *IT IS NOT THAT HE DID NOT HAVE FOOD. PEOPLE WILL BRING SO MANY THINGS FOR HIM. BUT HE WILL NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. HE WILL GIVE IT TO THE DEVOTEES WHO COME TO HIM.*HE WILL HAVE A STICK AND PUSH IT OUT TO THE DEVOTEES WHO COME, AS PRASADAM.*PEOPLE WHO DON'T EAT BECAUSE OF POVERTY, THEIR SKIN DOESN'T SHINE.*PEOPLE WHO DON’T EAT BECAUSE OF ‘POWER-TY’, THEIR SKIN WILL SHINE LIKE ANYTHING! *WHOLE SKIN SHINES BECAUSE COGNITION AND PURPOSE ADDS SINCERITY (SHRADDHA). SHRADDHA HAS THE CAPACITY TO GENERATE OJAS AND TEJAS.*OJAS MEANS ‘PURE ENERGY’. TEJAS MEANS ‘SHINING POWER’.*I AM ACTUALLY GIVING YOU THE SECRET SCIENCE OF KAYAKALPA.*MOUNA SWAMI USED TO BE IN SILENCE. RARELY HE WILL WRITE AND SHOW THE REPLIES HE WANTS TO GIVE TO OUR QUESTIONS. *I ASKED HIM ONCE, ‘SWAMIJI, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PLACE?’*THE SOUTH TOWER OF THE TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE IS CALLED TIRUMANJANA GOPURAM WHERE MY PRE MONASTIC HOUSE WAS. SO I WILL ENTER THE TEMPLE THROUGH THAT ONLY EVERY MORNING. *INSIDE THE TEMPLE THERE IS A TOWER CALLED THERKU KATTAI GOPURAM WHERE HE WOULD SIT IN SAMADHI; NO FOOD, NO 1, 2, 3, NO DRINKING WATER, NOTHING. WE KNOW HE IS ALIVE, THAT'S ALL.*HE SHOWED ME THROUGH HIS HANDS THE ‘BREATHING PRANAYAMA’ GESTURE. I ASKED, ‘BREATHING, PRANAYAMA, YOU CAN DO ANYWHERE, WHY HERE?’*HE WROTE AND SHOWED THAT NEXT TO THE TOWER THERE IS A ILUPPAI TREE (THE MAHUA TREE /INDIAN BUTTER TREE) *THERE IS A PROVERB IN TAMIL: இல்லாத காட்டுக்கு இலுப்பை பூ சக்கரை (ILLAATHA KAATTUKKU ILAPPA POO CHAKKARAI), MEANS, WHERE THERE IS NO SUGAR MILL, THE ILUPPAI FLOWERS ARE USED AS A SWEETENER!*THE GOSHALA ALSO USED TO BE THERE IN THOSE DAYS IN THE TEMPLE. I DON’T KNOW IF IT IS STILL THERE. THAT ILUPPAI TREE WILL GIVE SUCH AN INTENSE SMELL. HE SAID, THAT AIR OF THE ILUPPAI TREE SUPPLIES ENOUGH ORGANIC SUGAR ENERGY NEEDED FOR HIS INTERNAL ORGANS.*I WANT ALL OF YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS PRINCIPLE OF KAYAKALPA.*WHEN YOUR INTAKE BECOMES SUBTLER AND SUBTLER, THE AVAILABILITY BECOMES ETERNAL.*WHEN YOUR FOOD IS SOLID, IT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME AND DIGESTION / EXCRETION IS A BIG JOB; TOO MUCH WORK, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS AND AFTER EFFECTS.*IF YOUR INTAKE BECOMES PURE ENERGY, THEN THE INTERNAL ORGANS ARE KEPT ALIVE /  ACTIVE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FILTERING THE ENERGY. *MODERN DAY HUMAN BEINGS LOST THE ABILITY TO ATTEND TO SOMETHING SINCERELY; TOO MUCH OF DISTRACTION.*ONE OF MY DISCIPLES WHO IS IN THE FIELD OF ADVERTISING & COMMERCIALS FOR VARIOUS COMPANIES / BRANDS TOLD ME, ‘SWAMIJI, NO HUMAN BEING HAS ATTENTION SPAN OF MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. SO WITHIN 30 SECONDS YOU HAVE TO CONVEY WHAT YOU WANT TO CONVEY. AFTER THAT WHATEVER YOU TELL IS A WASTE. AFTER 30 SECONDS IF YOU WANT TO CONVEY SOMETHING SERIOUS, YOU HAVE TO USE SOMETHING SEXUALLY TRIGGERING TO GET HIS ATTENTION AGAIN AND THEN YOU HAVE ONLY 30 SECONDS AGAIN TO CONVEY WHAT YOU WANT TO CONVEY TO HIM.’*IN MODERN DAY, THE HUMAN BEINGS LOST THE ATTENTION SPAN - ABILITY TO BE INTENSE.*SECOND: I AM CONSTANTLY IN THE SPACE BEYOND WORDS AND MIND, MEANS - THE ACTIVE CHITTA, IN ABSOLUTELY THE ‘NOT THIS, NOT THIS’ ZONE. *SO FOR ME ALSO IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO VERBALISE WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO CONVEY TO ALL OF YOU.*WHEN YOUR FOOD IS PHYSICAL, YOUR LONGEVITY AND HEALTH REDUCE. *WHEN IT BECOMES LIQUID, YOUR LONGEVITY AND HEALTH INCREASE. *WHEN IT BECOMES PURE PRANA, YOUR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY INCREASE MUCH MORE.*THIS MOUNA SWAMI USED TO SIT IN THE ILUPPAI TREE BREATHING SPACE. *IT USED TO BE A TALL TREE. ALL TREES HAVE THEIR OWN BREATHING SPACE. UPTO THE CIRCUMFERENCE THEY SPREAD THEIR FLOWER / FRUITS / SMELL, IS THEIR BREATHING SPACE.*SO THIS TEMPLE TOWER IN WHICH MOUNA SWAMI WAS SITTING COMES WITHIN THE BREATHING SPACE OF THE ILUPPAI TREE.*SO WHEN HE SITS THERE AND DOES PRANAYAMA, THE ILUPPAI TREE BREATHING SPACE GOES INTO HIS BODY AND HIS INTERNAL ORGANS RECEIVE GLUCOSE  / SUGAR DIRECTLY FROM THAT PRANA WITHOUT TAKING ANY WHITE / BROWN SUGAR FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE.*THIS IS THE SAME PRINCIPLE OF HAVIS. YOU OFFER EVERYTHING IN THE HOMA  / AGNI; THOSE GODS AND GODDESSES COME DOWN AND TAKE IT INTO THEIR BREATHING SPACE AND IT BECOMES PRANA  / FOOD FOR THEM AND THEY BLESS YOU.*SAME PRINCIPLE HERE ALSO. THE ILUPPAI TREE WAS KEEPING ITS BREATHING SPACE INTENSELY SUGAR-FILLED. *ANYONE SITTING UNDER THE ILUPPAI TREE INTENSELY SMELLS OR DOES PRANAYAMA OF THAT ILUPPAI TREE’S BREATHING SPACE, CAN LIVE WITHOUT THE NEED OF AN EXTERNAL SOURCE OF GLUCOSE, WITHOUT TAKING WHITE / BROWN SUGAR, ANY SOURCE FOR GLUCOSE.*YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS WILL BE SO ACTIVE, THEY CAN DIRECTLY TAKE THE GLUCOSE ENERGY BY THE PRANAYAMA UNDER THE ILUPPAI TREE.*I HAVE SEEN IT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.*WHEN HE GAVE THAT EXPLANATION, I FELT, ‘O GOD! WHAT A POWERFUL METHOD OF EXISTING!’*I RAN TO RAGHUPATI YOGI. HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL YOGI. I AM NOT COMPARING MOUNA SWAMI AND RAGUPATHI YOGI. THEY ARE EACH IN THEIR OWN WAY.*RAGHUPATHI YOGI SAID, ‘I WILL PROVE IT’. *HE ASKED ME TO GET RICE COOKED WITHOUT ADDING SWEETENER AND HE KEPT IT NEAR THE ILUPPAI TREE. HE KEPT HIS HAND ON THAT TREE, DID PRANAYAMA, AND I SAW THAT THE RICE BECAME CHAKKARAI PONGAL! VENN PONGAL (UNSWEETENED RICE) BECOMES SUGAR RICE! COLOUR DID NOT CHANGE. WHEN I ATE IT, IT WAS LITERALLY SWEETENED RICE!*HE TOOK THAT ENERGY AND FILLED HIS INTERNAL ORGANS, CONVERTED THE GLUCOSE, PASSED IT THROUGH HIS HAND / SYSTEM INTO THE RICE AND SHOWED HOW THE PRANA / BREATHING SPACE OF THIS TREE CAN INFUSE GLUCOSE FOR YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS AND HOW THAT CAN BE CONVERTED AND PASSED THROUGH YOUR HANDS INTO THE FOOD.*OUR BACKBONE NEEDS TO BE VERY POWERFUL FOR THE KUNDALINI TO RAISE. YOU CAN BE CHARGED WITH THE OJAS SHAKTI (ENERGY NEEDED BY THE BACKBONE) IF YOU SIT UNDER THE BANYAN TREE AND DO PRANAYAMA. (https://nithyananda.tv/kalpataru/ )  *OUR BIDADI BANYAN TREE - KALPAVRIKSHA, HAS THE UNIQUE POWER THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT THERE IN BIDADI ASHRAM PHYSICALLY, IF YOU SEE THE LIVE WEBCAM RELAY AND DO PRANAYAMA, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING!*EACH TREE’S BREATHING SPACE HAS CERTAIN ENERGY WHEN YOU DO PRANAYAMA UNDER THAT TREE. THAT ENERGY GETS FILLED INSIDE YOUR SYSTEM.*THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY: WITHOUT DUMPING THE FOOD, MAKING YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS VERY ACTIVE, ALIVE!*YOGA WILL MAKE YOUR PHYSICAL BODY ACTIVE. *REDUCE THE QUANTITY OF THE FOOD; INCREASE THE QUALITY ...MEANS, INSTEAD OF SOLID FOOD, MOVE TO MORE LIQUID AND MOVE FROM LIQUID TO AIR, PRANA-BASED FOOD.*THIS MOUNA SWAMI WAS TAKING THE AIR-BASED FOOD.*SAME WAY, IF YOU BURN PURE RICE, PURE COW GHEE WITH THE PROPER MANTRAS AND DO THE AGNIHOTRAM WITH THAT PURE ORGANIC DESI COW DUNG CAKE, THAT SMOKE, AIR, CAN KEEP YOU HUNGER-FREE, FULLY CHARGED. ALL YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS ACTIVE, AT LEAST FOR 8 HOURS.*ONE AGNIHOTRI YOU CAN BE FOOD-FREE FOR 8 HOURS AND ACTIVE. AGNIOTRIS ARE BOUND TO LIVE LONG, HEALTHY, BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY PURE, GREAT, POWERFUL.*IN TIRUVANNAMALAI IN OUR AADHEENAM, WE HAVE THE VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM. ALL THE TREES OF NAVAGRAHAS AND 12 RASIS, 27 NAKSHATRAS, ASHTA DIK BALAKAS, LIKE A LAYER BY LAYER, IT WAS PLANTED AND STILL MAINTAINED BEAUTIFULLY.*I AM SO HAPPY THAT GURUCHARANA IS REVIVING THE WHOLE ECOSYSTEM WITH THE GRACE OF ARUNACHALESHWARA HIMSELF.*IF YOU SIT IN THAT VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM AND DO PRANAYAMA, YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL GET REJUVENATED.*EVEN IF YOU DO THIS TWO TIMES A MONTH, THAT IS ENOUGH. SIMPLY KAYAKALPA WILL BE HAPPENING TO YOU. YOU WILL LIVE, LONG, HEALTHY.*I ALSO SINCERELY RECOMMEND ALL THE DEVOTEES / MY DISCIPLES: COME AND STUDY TIRUVANNAMALAI ASHRAM’S VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM AND REPLICATE IT IN YOUR ASHRAM - IN RAJAPALAYAM, MADURAI, EVERYWHERE.*IN MADURAI WE HAVE A VERY BIG PLACE IN TIRUPPARANKUNDRAM. WE CAN DO THE VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM THERE.*IN BIDADI, WE CAN DO IN THE WHOLE 100 ACRES.*IN ICHAPURAM PALACE WE HAVE MANY ACRES. THE WHOLE PLACE IS CALLED KAILASAGIRI.*HYDERABAD AADHEENAM IS MANY ACRES, WE CAN DO THERE.*SALEM AADHEENAM, ERODE AADHEENAM ARE BIG PLACES. YOU CAN REPLICATE THIS VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM AND DO PRANAYAMA EVERYDAY SITTING THERE.*ALL THE COSMIC ENERGIES NEEDED FOR KAYAKALPA IS IN THAT VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM.*YOU CAN EVEN PLANT IN BIG ANDAS (POTS) AND PLACE LIKE IN SHYAMALA PEETHA SARVAJNAPEETHAM AND KEEP THEM ON THE TERRACE. *THIS IS ONE OF THE POWERFUL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED FOR A SUCCESSFUL KAYAKALPA.*LONG BEFORE WE DID IT IN TIRUVANNAMALAI AND NOW IT HAS BECOME A HUGE BEAUTIFUL GARDEN, VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM IN TIRUVANNAMALAI.*WE CAN DO IN ALL OUR AADHEENAMS - RAJAPALAYAM, KASHI, MADURAI, SALEM, SEERAGAPADI, ARANI, NAVALUKUTTAPAATU, TIRUCHENGODE, ADI KAILASH - BIDADI, HYDERABAD, ICHAPURAM PALACE. WE CAN EASILY REPLICATE THIS VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM - KAYAKALPA INFRASTRUCTURE. IN KASHI WE HAVE A HUGE PROPERTY ON THE BANKS OF GANGA.*ANYONE DOES PRANAYAMA IN THIS VAIDYA SHAKTI STHALAM, YOUR WHOLE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, PRANA, BREATHING STRUCTURES, COGNITION / CONSCIOUS STRUCTURE, WILL ALL BE EMPOWERED TO LIVE HEALTHY LONG LIFE.*THE INTENSE ACTIVITY FOR BODY IS YOGA.*INTENSE ACTIVITY FOR INTERNAL ORGANS IS FASTING.*INTENSE, LIFE-INFUSING FOR YOUR MIND IS SINCERITY.*IN MY LIFE I HAVE SEEN ALL KINDS OF MINDS / MENTAL SETUPS.*I NEVER GET FRIGHTENED BY THE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO CHEAT ME, THE TRAITORS. I JUST KNOW HOW THEY WORK. BEFORE THEY BUG MY GADGETS, I CAN BUG THEIR MIND! I ACTUALLY PLAY WITH THEM. THAT'S MY TIMEPASS.*BUT THE PEOPLE WHO CHEAT THEMSELVES ARE THE WORST HUMAN BEINGS. THEY ARE LIKE DEMONS WHO FEEL - “I REALLY WANT TO BE SANYASI. I REALLY WANT TO BE INTEGRATED.” BUT THEY WILL NEVER SINCERELY DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THAT. THEY ARE ALWAYS CHEATING THEMSELVES, GASLIGHTING THEMSELVES. THEY DON'T NEED ANYONE FROM OUTSIDE, THEY WILL DO IT FOR THEMSELVES.*I CALL THEM AS ‘AAPAKKADAI AAYAAHS’. THEY WILL SEARCH FOR THE ‘AAPPU’ - WEDGE - AND EXACTLY GO AND SIT ON IT.*THEY ARE DANGEROUS.*WHY PEOPLE CHEAT THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW? THEY DON’T WORK ON REMOVING THE PARASITES FROM THE SYSTEM AND FALL FOR MOOD SWINGS. *WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BECOME SANYASI, EVERYDAY DRINKING NEEM JUICE IS COMPULSORY BECAUSE IT REMOVES ALL PARASITES FROM YOUR BIO MEMORY AND MUSCLE MEMORY WHICH TRIGGERS LUSTY, FANTASY VISUALIZATION.*IF YOU DRINK NEEM JUICE EVERYDAY, ALL THE PARASITES IN YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY AND BIO MEMORY WILL BE CLEANSED. EVEN WHEN THE SEX HORMONES ARE PUMPED INTO YOUR BODY, IT JUST MANIFESTS AN INTENSE DEVOTION, SWEETEST SECRET SACRED SENTIMENT. IT DOES NOT TRIGGER VIOLENT, LUSTY, UNCONTROLLABLE, AGITATING, LIFE-NEGATIVE, SUICIDAL, WILD, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE VISUALIZATION OR PATTERNS.*ANY POWERFUL COGNITION / CONCLUSION YOU EXPERIENCE, ARRIVE AT, YOU NEED TO PREPARE YOUR BODY ALSO SINCERELY FOR THAT. YOU NEED TO WORK FOR IT. YOU NEED TO HAVE SINCERITY IN YOUR MIND. *LIFE IS SINCERE WORK, NOT HARD WORK OR SERIOUS WORK.*BUT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE SINCERITY, YOU CHEAT YOURSELF AND FALL FOR YOUR MOOD SWINGS AND GASLIGHT YOURSELF.*EVEN YOU LOSE RESPECT FOR YOURSELF. TWO / THREE TIMES YOU GASLIGHT YOURSELF AND COLLAPSE AND AGAIN COME BACK TO YOUR POWERFUL COGNITIONS AND CONCLUSIONS, YOU YOURSELF LOSE RESPECT ON YOU.*THAT IS WHY I AM SAYING, YOU SHOULD START SINCERELY WORKING ON RELEASING THE POWERFUL COGNITIONS YOU HAVE AS YOUR REALITY.*IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO BE SANYASI / CELIBATE, EVERYDAY WITHOUT MISSING, HAVE NEEM JUICE 200 ML IF DILUTED AND IF CONCENTRATED, THEN 100 ML. YOU CAN TAKE HALF IN THE MORNING AND HALF IN THE EVENING ALSO.*IF YOU DECIDE YOU SHOULD BE WORKING AND ALIVE WHOLE DAY WITHOUT TIREDNESS OR BOREDOM, ALWAYS TAKE HANDFUL OF YELLU AND VELLAM (SESAME AND JAGGERY BALLS) EVERY MORNING.*IT WILL REMOVE ALL THE PARASITES / MICROBES THAT TRIGGERS TIREDNESS / BOREDOM / IRRITATION IN YOU. YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY AND BIO MEMORY WILL BE SO PURE / CLEAN. YOU WILL NOT FALL FOR YOUR TIREDNESS / BOREDOM / IRRITATING PARASITES THAT TRIGGER YOU.*I HAVE SEEN WHEN PEOPLE GET TRIGGERED THEY ACTUALLY BECOME A DIFFERENT PERSON! THEY TRY TO BECOME LIKE A CINEMA HEROINE!*ALL THEY NEED IS SESAME / JAGGERY BALL. TAKE 5-6 ALSO NOTHING WRONG. IT IS LIKE A SNACK, YOU CAN ENJOY IN THE MORNING. GOOD QUALITY ORGANIC SESAME  / JAGGERY. NO BAD SIDE EFFECT DUE TO TAKING EVEN 10 BALLS. IT WILL ONLY KEEP YOU ENERGETIC AND ALIVE.*THAT IS WHY WHENEVER SOMEONE LEAVES THE BODY AND BECOMES A GHOST, WE OFFER SESAME AND WATER TO THEM BECAUSE THE IRRITATION, STRESS, FRIGHTENED FEELING IN THE GHOST WILL SETTLE DOWN.*EVEN IF YOU ARE IN THE BODY AND YOU BECOME IRRITATED, YOU BEHAVE LIKE A GHOST ONLY, SCREAMING! ALL YOU NEED IS SESAME SEEDS / JAGGERY, YOU WILL BECOME LIKE A HUMAN BEING!*WHENEVER PEOPLE TELL ME JNANATMA IS SCREAMING LIKE A GHOST, I TELL THEM: “GIVE HER SOME SESAME / JAGGERY, SHE HERSELF WILL SETTLE AND APOLOGISE IN SOME TIME!”*THESE PARASITES IN THE STOMACH, WHEN IT GETS TRIGGERED, THE IRRITATION IS TRIGGERED, THE PEOPLE BECOME LIKE A BHOOTA / GHOST AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY BEHAVE AND WHY THEY ARE BEHAVING THE WAY THEY ARE BEHAVING. THEY JUST FEEL SUFFOCATED AND SCREAM!*IF YOU JUST DO THE DETOX PROPERLY, CLEANSE ALL THE PARASITES AND MICROBES, YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM WILL BECOME SO HEALTHY AND KAYAKALPA WILL SIMPLY HAPPEN.*YOU TAKING POWERFUL COGNITIONS AND HIGHER LIFESTYLE BUT NOT BEING SINCERE TO IT IS ‘GASLIGHTING YOURSELF’. *I AM ALWAYS AFRAID OF INSINCERE PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ENEMIES / TRAITORS. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I KNOW HOW THEIR MIND WORKS AND I CAN PLAY WITH THEM. IT IS LIKE A LEELA WITH THEM LIKE HOW KRISHNA DANCED ON KALINGA - THE SNAKE. I CAN DO IT! KALINGA CANNOT HARM KRISHNA AND KRISHNA ALWAYS WINS THE GAME.*THE INSINCERE PEOPLE ARE MORE DANGEROUS, WHO FALL FOR THEIR MOOD SWINGS WHEN THE PARASITES TRIGGER IN THEM.*I HANDLE THESE PEOPLE MORE CAREFULLY THAN THE ENEMIES AND TRAITORS. THEY ARE DEMONS. IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SINCERE TO THEM.*WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T COME FOR MORNING YOGA AND ROUTINE, I KNOW HE IS AN ENEMY OR TRAITOR SITTING HERE AND WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME. *I KNOW THESE CRIMINALS AND HANDLE THEM THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE HANDLED, PROPERLY.*ALL THE CRIMINALS / TRAITORS IN THE SANGHA WILL NEVER ATTEND SPIRITUAL ROUTINE. THIS IS A COMMON QUALITY OF ALL OF THEM.*ENEMIES AND TRAITORS, WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM AND THEY CAN’T HARM US. THEY ONLY HARM THEMSELVES. FORGET ABOUT THEM. *BUT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT, BE WITH PARAMASHIVA AND MANIFEST PARAMASHIVA, IF THEY DON'T BECOME SINCERE, WE NEED TO WORK WITH THOSE PEOPLE. THEY NEED SUPPORT, CARE, INSPIRATION, SINCERITY, ENERGY, EVERYTHING. THAT IS WHAT I DO AND I AM DOING EVEN NOW..*I CAN GIVE YOU THE LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE INTENTION BUT ARE NOT SINCERE IN THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE TO DETOX THEMSELVES, TO CLEANSE THE PARASITES / MICROBES.*IF THEY BECOME SINCERE, THEY WILL SIMPLY BECOME PARAMASHIVA.*ALMOST EVERYONE INSIDE OUR SANGHA WANT TO MANIFEST PARAMASHIVA BUT THEY ARE NOT SINCERE TO THEIR DECISION, SO THEY GASLIGHT THEMSELVES AND FALL FOR THEIR MOOD SWINGS WHEN THE PARASITES TRIGGER AND BECOME LIKE A DEMON AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!*I HAVE SEEN RAGUPATHI YOGI AND RAMSURATKUMAR (KNOWN ALSO AS VISIRI SWAMI) - THEY WILL USE THE NEEM FLOWER AND NICELY POWDER IT AND USE IT FOR SMOKING.*ONCE I ASKED WHY THEY DO IT. YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR SAID THAT THIS SMOKE OF THE NEEM FLOWER CLEANSES THE WHOLE INTERNAL ORGANS. VERY LESS QUANTITY HE WILL TAKE, ROLL IT ON THE BEEDI LEAF AND SMOKE. *I DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS AND WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE FOR NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF HEAVY SMOKE! DON'T TRY THIS!*I AM JUST TRYING TO RECOLLECT AS MANY THINGS I RECEIVED FROM MY GURU PARAMPARA, GURUS AND SPELL IT OUT.*MY WHOLE LIFE IS JUST KEEPING MY WHOLE GURU PARAMPARA ALIVE. KAILASA’S ONLY PURPOSE IS KEEPING THE WHOLE GURU PARAMPARA ALIVE... FROM ARUNAGIRI YOGISHWARA TO ALL THE GURUS...AND REVIVING IT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO USE / ENJOY / EXPERIENCE / CELEBRATE IT.*WITH THIS I BLESS YOU ALL
