INTERVIEW – DHRUPAD IN MUSICTHERAPY
> DAYALBAH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE <
> I N T E R V I E W DHRUPAD IN MUSICTHERAPY <
> NADA YOGA IN THE CORE OF DHRUPAD <
Indian traditional systems of health and healing also include various musical treatment approaches. A few healing traditions are also integrated in modern music therapy practice in India. Vedic traditions dating back roughly 5000 years ago had a great intuition about the power of sound and intonation.
The Vedic chants and music which had more sound and rhythm, used as a source of healing and up liftment reflected the intuition that each intonation and inflection of voice could have beneficial or adverse effects. Music Raga Therapy a, an extinct sanskrit treatise, as its name implies dealt with curative ragas and suggested specific ragas with specific therapeutic and a prophylactic medium in clinical and educational settings.
The Vedic system of health care concerned with healthy living and not disease specific takes into account the patient’s entire personality, body, mind and the spirit and guides the participants for a healthy living along with the therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony.
Nada Yoga is the core of Dhrupad, the most ancient style of Hindustani Classical Music. Originally only sung by priests in the temples as an act of worship, it induces a deep meditative state in the singer as well as the listener.
Dr. Acharya Jaimini is taking much interest in preserving the Dhrupad Heritage, He has made Dhrupad performance possible on sitar with its effective presentation in music concerts.
Dr. Acharya Trigunateet Jaimini, apart from being visiting professor in Universities and various music institutions,has given memorable performances in various music concerts. Having got occasions to play duets with well known Indian and foreign artists, the Sitar recordings of Acharya Jaimini are preserved in the archives of the preservation libraries.
Q: How possible playing Dhrupad on Sitar ?
Dr Acharya Jaimini says that, Dhrupad playing on sitar, is not easy because bringing sitar to the depth of Dhrupad – „Beenkari & Alapchari“ techniques during sitar recital is an extra ordinary thing. This in itself is an effective tranquilizer. Sitar playing being under the „Da-Dir-Daara“ strokes, clarity of technical dimensions, deeply presentation of Dhrupad and binding of the flow of „Nom-tom“ on mizrab (striker) with „Laykari“ (appropriate divisions of speed ) is a practical demonstration of the Dhrupad technique.
Acharya Trigunateet Jaimini born, nourished and still living in the vicinity of Nidhiban, the place of swamy Haridas at Vrindavan (India ) has been upholding and propagating the same rich tradition on Sitar.

AYURVEDA, TRIPHALA, BITTERSTOFFE
(Iskcon Devotees at Pulsediagnosis)
> HILDEGARD MAITRUNK FRÜHLINGSKUR <
> AYURVEDISCHE REINIGUNGSMASSNAHMEN <
Triphala is an Ayurvedic herbal RASAYANA formula consisting of equal parts of three myrobalans, taken without seed: Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), with potential anti-cancer properties. The word triphala (better triphalÄ, from Hindi/Sanskrit: त्रिफला, pronounced [trɪˈpʰɐlɑ], widely mispronounced [triˈfɑːlə] or [triˈfæːlə] among English speakers) means literally “three fruits”.

Für eine optimale Gesundheit und eine optimale Ernährung sollten die sechs Geschmacksrichtungen in einem ausgewogenen Verhältnis in der Nahrung vorhanden sein.
Dieses ayurvedische Prinzip der sechs Geschmacksrichtungen nimmt auch eine Schlüsselstellung in der Wissenschaft der Zubereitung ayurvedischer Kräuterpräparate ein. Menschen, die Pitta und Kapha ausgleichen müssen, sollten allgemein mehr bittere und herbe Nahrungsmittel zu sich nehmen.
Die ayurvedischen Churnas bzw. Gewürzmischungen sind eine praktische und bequeme Art, diese Geschmacksrichtungen in die Ernährung zu integrieren. Die westliche Ernährungsweise neigt hauptsächlich zu süßen und saueren Geschmacksrichtungen. Zu den süßen Nahrungsmitteln rechnet man Weizenprodukte wie z.B. Brot, Zerealien (Haferflocken, Müsli) und Nudeln, außerdem Reis, Milch, Eis und andere Süßspeisen.
Zu den saueren Nahrungsmitteln gehören Nahrungsmittel, die aus Tomaten hergestellt wurden wie Ketchup und Nudelsaucen, außerdem Käse, Zitrusfrüche und sauere Fruchtsaftgetränke. Zu viel von diesen saueren Nahrungsmitteln erzeugen zu viel Hitze im Körper und Menschen mit Übersäuerung oder anderen Anzeichen eines Pitta-Ungleichgewichts sollten diese reduzieren oder möglichst vermeiden. Bitteres trägt dazu bei, Pitta und Kapha auszugleichen. Es reduziert die Wasserspeicherung und wird als Stärkungsmittel für eine blockierte Leber verwendet. Es reinigt und trägt dazu bei, Brennen und Jucken zu verringern. Im Übermaß angewendet, kann es Vata erhöhen und den Körper austrocknen. Herbe Nahrungsmittel reinigen das Blut und tragen ebenfalls zum Ausgleich von Pitta und Kapha bei, im Übermaß erzeugen sie Gase und Verstopfung.
Beispiele für Nahrungsmittel und Gewürze mit bitterem und herbem Geschmack:
-
Bitter: Bittermelone und Kürbis· Japanische Aubergine· Kurkuma (Gelbwurz)· Bockshornkleesamen· grünes Blattgemüse· Gerste· Basilikum· Brennessel· Kopfsalat· Aloe Vera
-
Herb: Apfel· Granatapfel (schmeckt sauer auf der Zunge, ist aber sowohl herb als auch bitter)· Birne· Quinoa· Hülsenfrüchte· Tofu· Sprossen· Bohnen
Versuchen Sie, einige dieser Nahrungsmittel in Ihren täglichen Speiseplan aufzunehmen. Eine einfache Art, den bitteren Geschmack zu integrieren, ist es, dem Essen beim Kochen Bockshornkleesamen zuzufügen. Ein Teelöffel Bockshornkleesamen pro Tag ist eine sehr gute Art, mehr von dem ausgleichenden bitteren Geschmack im Essen zu haben. Sie können sie in Ghee anbraten und dann Ihr Gemüse zufügen oder Sie geben sie einfach während des Kochens zu.
Kurkuma (Gelbwurz) ist sowohl bitter als auch herb. Es wird als blutreinigend und antioxidant angesehen. Ein Teelöffel davon pro Tag, den Sie in Ihrem Essen mitkochen, ist eine ausgezeichnete und billige Gesundheitsvorsorge und ist eine wunderbare Art, Ihre Aufnahme an Antioxidantien zu erhöhen.Granatapfelkerne schmecken sauer, sind aber sowohl herb als auch bitter und sind nicht pitta-erhöhend.
In den ayurvedischen Schriften werden Granatapfelkerne als pittaausgleichende Früchte und als wunderbares Herzstärkungsmittel bezeichnet. Aus Granatapfelkernen kann man leckere Tunke und Chutneys machen, die man täglich essen kann, besonders im Sommer, wenn das Pitta Dosha leicht aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät.
-
Triphala corrects constipation, cleanses and tonify the gastro intestinal tract.
-
Detoxifies the whole body and improves digestion and assimilation
-
Triphala reduces high blood pressure and hypertension and improves blood circulation.
-
Very effective in Irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis.
- Highly anti inflammatory, anti viral and also stimulates bile flow and peristalsis.
- Triphala is also helpful in liver disorders, acts as an expectorants and corrects diverticulitis. ( Diverticulosis )
-
Dose – 2-2 tablets after lunch and dinner ( before sleeping ) with luke warm water.
Many companies now a day making triphala but its my own believes Maharishi Triphala tablets are best. And have excellent result compare to other Companies and they are not expensive just 10$ cost for 100 tablets.
For any information, question , doubt, quarries, can mail me any time or put question on wall .. also for your suggestion can put in wall.. all information that is transformation of knowledge..

AYURVEDA FOOD DIET, DOSHA´s, YOGA

Ayurveda (DevanÄgarÄ: आयुर्वेद, the ’science of life‘) is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian Subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine. In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda consists of the words Äyus, meaning ‚life‘, and veda, meaning ‚related to knowledge‘ or ’science‘. Evolving throughout its history, Ayurveda remains an influential system of medicine in South Asia. The earliest literature of Ayurveda appeared during the Vedic period in India.The Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita were influential works on traditional medicine during this era. Ayurvedic practitioners also identified a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for curing various ailments and diseases.Ayurveda is considered to be a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) within the western world, where several of its methods, such as the use of herbs, massage, and Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine, are applied on their own as a form of CAM treatment
Ayurveda is grounded in a metaphysics of the ‚five great Elements‘ (DevanÄgarÄ: [महा] पञ्चभूत; earth, water, fire, air and ether)—all of which compose the Universe, including the human body.Chyle (called Rasa dhatu), blood (called Rakta dhatu), flesh (called Mamsa dhatu), fat (called Medha dhatu), bone (called Asthi dhatu), marrow (called Majja dhatu), and semen or female reproductive tissue (called Shukra dhatu) are held to be the seven primary constituent elements (DevanÄgarÄ: सप्तधातु) of the body.Ayurveda stresses a balance of three Humors or Energies: vata (wind/air), pitta (bile) and kapha (phlegm). According to Ayurveda, these three regulatory principles— Doshas (DevanÄgarÄ: त्रिदोष)—are important for health, because when they are in balanced state, the body is healthy, and when imbalanced, the body has diseases. Ayurveda hold that humans possess a unique combination of Doshas. Read more: > HERE <
Yoga per se, does not say much about diet, except that we should be ‚Mitahari‘ (Mita-Ahar-ee), ‚Mita‘ meaning ‚proportionate‘ or ‚enough to nourish‘, and ‚Ahar‘ meaning ‚food‘. ‚Mitahar therefore, has come to mean ‚moderation in eating‘. But, we know, it is not enough to be moderate in intake of pebulum. It is not enough to mind the quantity of food; quality of food ingested is of even greater importance. In Yoga shastras, Mitahar has been described as diet that is
- Palatable,
- Nutritious,
- Providing various ‚Dhatu‘ (literally meaning ‚Minerals‘),
- Containing dairy produce such as milk, yogurt, butter or butter-milk,
- Eaten in moderation, and
- Eaten in a spirit of dedication to the Divine.
The last aspect is akin to the saying of grace at the dinner table by devout Christians.
Hindu shastras also speak about the three ‚Guna‚ of food, ‚Guns‚ meaning quality. ‚Sattwic‚ food is variously understood as ‚contributing to serenity‘, ‚providing the essentials‘, Keeping the human organism sweet and clean‘, etc. ‚Rajasic‚ food contributes to dynamism and other requisite qualities needed by a householder or housewife. ‚Tamasic‚ food is strong in taste or smell and can be ‚heaty‘ or ‚exciting passions‘.
Revelations of Science & Yoga, Diabetes
In the light of modern nutritional researches, we have to find out the ideal diet which is both ‚Mita and Sattwic, so that the Yoga practitioner benefits therefrom both physically and mentally. Let us find out whether Yoga should favour the intake of flesh, fish or fowl. What does human anatomy and physiology tell us? Read More: > HERE <

Jyotiṣa (Sanskrit jyotiṣa (Devanagari ज्योतिष), from jyótis- „light, heavenly body“: also anglicized Jyotish and Jyotisha) is the Hindu system of astrology (also known as Indian astrology, Hindu astrology, and of late, Vedic astrology). Read More: >HERE<
Vastu Shastra (vÄstu śÄstra, also Vastu Veda, „science of construction“, „architecture“) is a traditional Hindu system of design based on directional alignments. It is primarily applied in Hindu architecture, especially for Hindu temples, although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. The foundation of Vastu is traditionally ascribed to the mythical sage Mamuni Mayan. While Vastu had long been essentially restricted to temple architecture, there has been a revival in India in recent decades, notably under the influence of V. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, Tamil Nadu (b. 1927), who has been campaigning for a restoration of the tradition in modern Indian society since the 1960s. Read More: >HERE<
Vedic astrology was developed by the ancient sages of India over 5000 years ago. Called Jyotish, the science of the light of life, it is part of the Vedic wisdom.
This includes Ayurveda, Vastu (Vedic architecture) and Yoga.
The Vedas and the vast Vedic Literature, mankind’s oldest and most sophisticated body of knowledge, detail the relationship between astronomy, astrology and human beings.
Vedic astrology is a powerful medium which can be used to understand ourselves through the study of the stars and the constellations.
It predicts and offers remedies for mundane difficulties as well as guide posts to an individual’s spiritual path.

AYURVEDA CONCEPT OF RASAYAN THERAPY
( ayurveda4uall’s Photos – ALL India confrence Delhi 7-8 Oct )
Rasayan, a Sanskrit word (with literal meaning: Path (ayana) of the Juice (rasa), or Elixir vitae), is used to describe chemistry and alchemy, and chemistry is generally called Rasayan Shastra in Sanskrit,Nepali, Marathi, Hindi, Kannada and several other languages. Ancient rasayan texts center around the use of prepared forms of mercury (see samskaras), as do occidental alchemical texts. However, there is also ample mention of the preparation of medical tinctures in the ancient science of rasayan; rasayan is in fact a part of Ayurveda. Read more: > HERE <
Concept of Rasayana Therapy
Rasayana Tantra is one of the eight major divisions of Astang Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, one of the major methods of presentation of positive health has been described i.e. Rasayana.
Sushruta has defined a healthy man as one who has:-
• Equilibrium of the Doshas Sama dosha.
• Normal functioning of Agni Sama Agni
• Normal condition of 7 Dhatus Sam Dhatu
• Normal Excretion of waste products Sam Malkriya.
Beside this Atma (Soul), the Indriyas or sense organs and Mana or mind should be happy and cheerful Prasanatamendriya Mana (Su.Su.15/15). The current modern definition of health is also same “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely absence of disease. (W.H.O.)
Healthy state of mind and body can be achieved by Rasayana Therapy or Rejuvenation Therapy
Rasayana Stands as an answer to solve the problem of healthful longevity including mental development and resistance against disease. That is why; Rasayanatherapy has been included as one of the eight major divisions of Ashtang Ayurveda. Rasayana Chikitsa or rejuvenation therapy helps to promote and preserve health and longevity in the healthy, and to Cure disease in sick. We all want to look forever young and increase our life span by staying healthy, Rasayans or vitalizers, as they are called, do exactly the same. They replenish the vital fluids of our body, thus keeping us away from diseases. Rasayana refers to the nutrition and its transportation in the body. Such a state of improved nutrition is claimed to lead to a series of secondary attributes like longevity, immunity against diseases, mental competence and delaying of aging.
Rasayana is actually that which increases the essence of each Dhatu, starting from Rasa. Taking Rasayana is helpful to increase the immunity of person to keep him away from diseases. The person become healthy and strong .Literally the term Rasayana refers to the means of obtaining the optimum nourishment to the Dhatu.
Meaning of Rasayana
The word Rasayana is composed of two words Ras + Ayan. The means by which one gets the excellence of Rasa (The nourishing fluid which is produced immediately after digestion) is known as Rasayana. Apart from the excellence of Rasa, the individual is endowed with Psychic excellence like sharp memory, by virtue of rejuvenation therapy. The term Rasayana connotes a specific meaning. Drugs, diet and regimens which promote longevity by delaying aging and preventing diseases are called Rasayana. The term Rasa has different connotation. In the present context, it means the body fluid which is responsible for nourishment of entire physique. Impairment of circulation of this body fluid results in diseases and decay. This body fluid of good quality should not only be present in adequate quantity, but also it should be able to permeate (circulate) throughout the various cells of the body to provide the type of nourishment they need.
Rasayana is a specialized type of treatment influencing the fundamental aspect of body viz. Dhatus, Agni and Srotansi and ojus etc. Rasayana Chikitsa boosts theojus and immune system. The adjective Ojaswiis used to describe those people who keep good health in all seasons and all stages of life. It is like obtaining a high rank in a physical or mental fitness. Ojus gives a bright look, sharp memory, high performance and every expected pleasure.
Historic Consideration of Rasayana
Rasayana therapy is as old as the Vedas because many references on Rasayana therapy are available in the Atharva Veda (atharvaveda 8/7/4). Extensive descriptions of divine Rasayana agents like Soma are available in classics. References about Achara Rasayna and Sadvrita are also available in the vedic texts similar to Charakadescription (Rig-Veda 5/1/7 and Atharvaveda 16/2/2)
Besides extensive references is available regarding the superiority of certain other common Rasayana drugs like Pippali, Jivanti and Punarnava etc. Similarly a concept of Ajasrika Rasayana also appears in vedic literature.
Vedas have seriously considered the problems of aging and its delaying. It has been the cherished wish of human race to achieve long life and to live at least 100 years in perfect health. “Jivema Sharadah Shatam” (Rigveda 10/39/8).
Probably all these ideas at a later stage necessitated the development of a full-fledged clinical discipline like Rasayana therapy to deal with the problem of aging, its delaying.

PREM NIRMAL: TRIPURA RAHASYA RETREAT

TRIPURA RAHASYA RETREAT
The Mystery beyond the Trinity
www.premnirmal.com
Tripura Rahasya was considered by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi as one of the greatest works that expounded advaita philosophy. He often quoted from it and regretted that it was not available in English. As a consequence Sri Munagala Venkataramaiah (now Swami Ramanananda Saraswathi) took up the work of translation in 1936 as another labour of love, adding just one more English translation to his already extensive store. This was first published in parts in the Bangalore Mythic Society’s Journal (Quarterly) from January 1938 to April 1940 and afterwards collected into book form, of which five hundred copies were printed and privately circulated. The Asramam has since taken over the copyright and made it one of their official publications.
Mahavidya in Hinduism, Shaktism: > Here <
DATTATREYA UPANISHAD: > Here <
Tripura Rahasya was considered by Bhagavan > Sri Ramana Maharshi < as one of the greatest works that expounded > Advaita philosophy <. Tripura literally means the three cities. They are the states – Jagrat (waking state) – Svapna (dream state) and Shushupti (deep sleep state). The undercurrent of consciousness in all of them, remaining unaffected, is metaphorically called the Resident Mistress by name of > Sri Tripura < . The procreative faculty generating new beings and the link of altruistic love connecting the offspring to the parent are personified in the Mother; hence the feminine termination of Tripura. „The way to transcendence“ signifies that interest in Tripura purifies the mind and creates the zeal for enquiry into the Truth. As in many of the Great Indian texts, the presentation is that of a dialogue between Master (Dattatreya) and Disciple (Parasurama). The latter conveys his doubts, one after another to His Master who responds patiently with clarity and using as great a variety of explanations as the quantity of doubts thrown at him. Slowly but surely, He destroys his Disciple’s every doubt and misconceptions thus revealing the Truth beyond all states: the Stateless State.
During this retreat we will practice Chakrodaya Dhyan with sandhikal jagrukta, Suprashant Pranayam, Nirmal Kriya with Nirmal Mudra to dive deep in Meditation to explore the unknown and unknowable. Also we will have many insights form Tripura Rahasya to contemplate! Because of the intensive nature of this retreat, no. of participants is limited to a small group. Entry to this camp is on first come first serve basis. Senior citizens having problems of movement will be given rooms on ground floor near conference room.
This retreat is an ideal combination “Dhyan – Gyan – Bhakti” (Meditation – Understanding – Devotion) that will help you to settle your understanding of the process of Enlightenment and Ascension. We will practice various methods of meditation and contemplation to internalize Tripura Rahasya that will help you to sustain enlightenment. Please note that this retreat is only for those who have a strong desire to learn, grow and walk the path to sustained enlightenment. Those who have attended ADP Camp and /or have background of Kashmir Shaivism are most welcome.
Please note that there are no eligibility criteria for this camp. All sincere seekers of truth who are ready to dive deep within and explore the unknown are welcome. Those seekers who had Satori experience or Enlightenment experience in past are welcome to learn further on how to sustain the enlightenment.
This retreat will be personally conducted by Guruji Prem Nirmal. To know more about Guruji explore www.premnirmal.com

SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI, HERBAL MEDICINE
> DOWNLOADS, BIOGRAPHY, MEDICINAL RECIPES <
> DR. V. MANICKAM – SRI RAMANA HERBS <
Sri Ramana Maharshi (Tamil: ரமண மஹரிஷி) (December 30, 1879 – April 14, 1950), born Venkataraman Iyer, was an Indian sage. He was born to a Tamil-speaking Brahmin family in Tiruchuzhi, Tamil Nadu. After having attained liberation at the age of 16, he left home for Arunachala, a mountain considered sacred by Hindus, at Tiruvannamalai, and lived there for the rest of his life. Arunachala is located in Tamil Nadu, South India. Although born a Brahmin, after having attained moksha he declared himself an „Atiasrami“, a Sastraic state of unattachment to anything in life and beyond all caste restrictions.
Sri Ramana maintained that the purest form of his teachings was the powerful silence which radiated from his presence and quieted the minds of those attuned to it. He gave verbal teachings only for the benefit of those who could not understand his silence. His verbal teachings were said to flow from his direct experience of Consciousness as the only existing reality. When asked for advice, he recommended self-enquiry as the fastest path to moksha. Though his primary teaching is associated with Non-dualism, Advaita Vedanta, and Jnana yoga, he recommended Bhakti to those he saw were fit for it, and gave his approval to a variety of paths and practices.

Bhagavan Ramana and Herbal Medicine
By Dr Manikkam
The essence of all beings is earth. The essence of earth is water. The essence of water is the herb. The essence of the herb is the human being. So says a maxim of the Chandogya Upanishad.
The health traditions of India extend to thousands of years. It perhaps started with the cave man who consumed roots, leaves and herbs raw before discovering fire and subsequently the means of cooking. In this, however, man was only imitating the animals which consumed plants to alleviate health disorders. Nature has provided animals with hindsight that helps them recognise symptoms of bodily disorders, the means of selfdiagnosis and self-medication. The monkey provides one of the most common and best examples. To this, we shall revert later. In India, before codified medicinal systems like Ayurveda and Siddha took roots, folk curative traditions based on observation and experimentation were developed and nurtured.
This tradition had its variants in accordance with climate, terrain and habits; but the essence was the same. The plant kingdom was considered the saviour. General health disorders were treated by a combination of various plants and herbs. Each and every part of a plant was useful root, bark, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seed. Methods were developed to extract the maximum benefits from each of the parts of a plant. This glorious tradition which was the forerunner to Siddha and Ayurveda, was passed through word of mouth to successive generations. The grandmother in the house was the main custodian of this oral tradition. Proverbs were created and repeated any number of times by the elders in the family to emphasise the importance of healthy living, both physical as well as mental. These proverbs have stood the test of time and they remain intact to guide us. The properties and benefits of herbs and plants were enshrined in easy to understand language.
All Indian languages had their own variants of these health proverbs. The most important feature of the ancient Indian systems of medicine is to look at the human being as a whole entity. The physiological part of it was not divorced from the psychological and the psychical. The body, mind and soul were not treated separately, but as constituting a wholesome single entity. Ancient puranic tradition has it that this system was practised by the rishis, siddhas and devas, the celestial beings. The siddhas were seekers after God. It was they who scientifically developed and nurtured various disciplines such as yoga, medicine, linguistics and other allied arts and sciences.

Dr. Manickam and his family are very humble devotees of Bhagavan. His tradition is ‚Herbal Medicine‘, which combines Herbal remedies with the Ayurvedic and Siddha systems of medicine using modern diagnostic techniques. He uses and researches some of the medicinal recipes created by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, plus those of his father and grandfather.
All of Bhagavan’s recipes replace the more traditional Ayurvedic ones with pure herbal formulae, which have been found by doctor Manickam to have many times the potency and effectiveness of the traditional recipes. They also have no known side-effects.
All of Bhagavan’s recipes use herbs found on and around Arunachala, this of course adds priceless value to those recipes.

AYURVEDA CENTER, AYUR ANANDA ASHRAM
Karmarthakamamoksanamarogyam Mulamuttamam“ Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana 1,15 – The freedom from diseases is the best source of wealth, gratification and emancipation
AGPAA was founded in March 2008 from the collaboration between the School of Ayurveda Therapists Ananda Ashram in Milan and Guruprakash Ayurvedic Center in Kovalam, which boasts a century-old family tradition of offering Ayurveda and Ayurvedic treatments in the traditional form through his staff of doctors and therapists.
green leaf, Department of Tourism – Government of Kerala (India):
The goal is to make available this millenary discipline for those who want to learn the philosophy and practice of Ayurveda treatment through a well-organized structure in the place of origin of Ayurveda. Also, give the chance for a modest cost to all those who want to benefit from therapeutic treatments and the application of Ayurvedic principles in their lives. Life is a possibility given to human beings to live the highest state of consciousness in a state of health and stable happiness, but usually we have very little knowledge of life and consequently its enormous potential is not used.
Ayurveda, the „Science or Knowledge of Life“, was born to make men aware of his extraordinary potential revealing the fundamental principles of life that sometimes seem of disarming simplicity and sometimes very complex.
Unfortunately Ayurveda is known only as a system of natural medicine, a technique of massage, a beauty treatment or a way to lose weight. True, Ayurveda is all this, but not limited to this, Ayurveda is a lot, much, more.
The essence of Ayurveda can be expressed through these Sanskrit verses, in the original language:
- Hita Ahitam Sukham Dukham Ayustasya Hitahitam
- Maanamcha TATC yatroktam Ayurveda sa Ucchyate
- „Ayurveda is the science that deals with good and bad, happy and unhappy in life, what promotes or hinders the life, also with the quality and length of life.
- Samadosha samagnishcha Samadhatu Mala Kriyah
- Prasannatmendriya manah Swasthya ityabidhiyate
- „Health is a balance of bodily humors, metabolic processes, activity of body tissues and excreta, the purity of body, mind and spirit.
Ayurveda, as the science of life, belongs not only to Indian culture but to all humanity, India has only the merit of having kept in its integrity this valuable knowledge. Kerala is one of the states where the Indian Ayurveda has been preserved from time immemorial.

> DINACHARYA – DAILY CONDUCT <
Ayurveda (DevanÄgarÄ: आयुर्वेद, the ’science of life‘) is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian Subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda consists of the words Äyus, meaning ‚life‘, and veda, meaning ‚related to knowledge‘ or ’science‘.Evolving throughout its history, Ayurveda remains an influential system of medicine in South Asia.The earliest literature of Ayurveda appeared during the Vedic period in India.The Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita were influential works on traditional medicine during this era.Ayurvedic practitioners also identified a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for curing various ailments and diseases.

Ayurveda, regarded as a Holistic manual of Life & Age, describes a lifestyle that’s in harmony with nature. The Ayurvedic description of health is :
„Samadosha, Samadhatu Samagnischa, malkriyah,
(समदोष: समधातु समाग्निश्चा मलक्रियः)
Prasannatmendriyamanah, Swastha ityabhidhiyate
(प्रसन्नात्मेंद्रियामन: स्वस्थ इत्याभिधियते)“
i.e Only he, whose doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) dhatus (physical components – Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja & Shukra i.e. Plasma, Blood, Flesh, Fats, Bones, Bone marrows & Semen respectively) & agni (digestive fire) is balanced, appetite is good, all tissues of the body and all natural urges are functioning properly, and whose mind, body and spirit (self) are cheerful or full of bliss, is a perfectly healthy person. Ayurveda considers the individual as whole and seeks to re-establish harmony between all the constituents of the body and a perfect balance of the tripod – Mind, Body and Spirit. Basically Ayurveda is Health promotive – preventive – curative and nutritive – all self contained.
The two principle objectives of Ayurveda are :
- Swasthasya swasthya rakshanam (स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्यरक्षणं)‘ – To prolong life and promote perfect health (add years to life and life to years )
- ‚Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha (अतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनाम्चा)‘ – To completely eradicate the disease and dysfunction of the body.
Ayurvedic approach to Life-style:
Health is greatly influenced by Life-Style (Swastha-vritta). According to Ayurveda, Life-style (the rules and guidelines) is divided into three parts:
1. Dincharya ~ दिनचर्या (Diet and regimen for the daytime)
2. Ratricharya ~ रात्रिचर्या (Diet and regimen for the night)
3. Ritucharya ~ ऋतुचर्या (Seasonal Diet and regimen) and Sandhikal (diet instructions for the joint period of two seasons)
One more thing that is very helpful for the knowledge of proper life-style ‚Samsarjan karm (संसर्जन करम)‘ means specific diet program after illness or after Panchkarma Treatments. For perfect health, long disease free body status, one must follow these instructions.
One way to describe the Lifestyle is in terms of the doshas, Vata, the air element; Pitta, the fire element; and Kapha, the water element. Vata is dominant from 2 to 6 in the morning and afternoon. Kapha is dominant from 6 to 10 in the morning and evening, and Pitta is dominant during mid day and midnight. (10 to 2) Keep in touch with these energies during the day and move with them, not against them.
Daily Routine In Ayurveda
Wake Up:
In Ayurveda, the night time is divided into 16 periods, starting from the sunset (of the previous day) to the sunrise of the following day. Ayurveda Rishis suggest that the ideal time to wake up is during the 14th period, which is about two hours prior to sunrise, around 4.00 am to 5.00 am. This is primarily due to the fact the sattva in the air is at its maximum during the time. In fact, it is the most fresh and pure time of the entire day and the time when Prana-vayu is flowing (air carrying the purest form of oxygen).
After Waking Up
Right after waking up to start the day, one should take a moment to see true nature. To serve the purpose, take a short stroll outside the home and soak up the good vibes and see what life is beyond the four walls of home.
Eliminate
Be sure to eliminate the body’s waste products to empty the colon & bladder, to avoid illnesses. It is always suggested not to wait until later in the morning or during the day, to defecate.
Clean Yourself
Brush teeth, scrape tongue and floss mouth. Wash eyes with rose water and ears with water. Gargle with warm water. One may also use a cup of herbal tea for the purpose. By cleaning the senses, one would be prepared for the day.
Give An Oil Massage
Dryness in the tissues of the skin is a major part of aging. This is the reason why many people show the signs of aging at a very young age. Therefore, abhyanga or oil massage is highly recommended. Typically, a self massage, the morning abhyanga rejuvenates the skin and nurtures your mind and soul.
Exercise
Vyayama or exercise is an important part of dincharya. Physical exercise can be yoga, a walk, tai chi, swim or whatever that provides exercise to your muscles. Not strenuous though, simple exercises would make a huge difference in one person – the exercises would provide one with the much needed energy and activeness for the day.
Take A Bath
Bathing is inevitable in the dincharya, as recommended by Ayurveda. Warm water baths are usually suggested, but one may opt for a shower in cold water as well. Apart from cleaning the body, bathing also stimulates the digestive fire.
Meditate
Meditation refreshes the mind, increases the concentration power and builds the energy needed for the rest of the day. Before trudging into the dining hall, sit in peace for a little while, say, ten minutes.
Breakfast
Breakfast should be moderate, with maximum nutrients. By doing this, one is able to get the optimum amount of energy needed to stay active until the next meal. Kick-start the day with a healthy breakfast. Be sure not to skip the breakfast, because it is the first meal of the day.
Lunch
After four to five hours of breakfast, it is the time to have lunch. Since this is the main meal of the day, one needs to eat a nutritious lunch, with moderate calorie intake. After having lunch, it is suggested to go for a little walk, say, for five minutes. This helps proper digestion of food.
Twilight
Twilight is the special time, which is a balance between the day and the night. Evening prayers, meditations should be carried out during twilight, because it is the best time to see one’s Inner Self.
Supper
Ayurveda recommends supper time between 6 pm to 8 pm. However, it is not practical in this fast moving life. It is still advisable to have dinner before you exhaust completely, but definitely two hours prior to going to bed. After the dinner is over, take a walk for a short while, say, fifteen minutes.
Go To Bed
After having dinner, it is the time to relax. Spend some quality time with your family. Sit back and relax. Read a book or listen to soothing music. This is the time to calm your system down. Thereafter, one should have a sound sleep of 6 to 7 hours.
Follow a Seasonal Ayurvedic Routine
Follow seasonal recommendations to balance the vata, kapha and pitta doshas. Each of these mind-body types is more active during particular seasons. The seasonal directives for each are guides to keep them balanced.
1. Eat light foods and drink water with honey during Fall.
2. Chew each bite of food 32 times as it helps in keeping the stomach light.
3. Pass Urine after each meal as it helps in keeping the kidneys active.
4. Have regular baths and oil massages and avoid napping during the day.
5. Choose foods that are heavy during winter and drink warm water, cow’s milk or juice.
6. Have a tepid bath after your oil massage, dress warmly and exercise.
7. Drink more fluids during the summer. Avoid foods that are pungent, acidic or salty.
8. Wear light clothes and avoid strenuous exercise.
9. Avoid foods that are cold, sour, sweet or difficult to digest during spring.
10. Avoid daytime naps but have lots of oil massages and vigorous exercise.

PRIME TREATMENTS IN AYURVEDA
Dr. E. Shaji Raj, www.punarjanis.com
> PRIME TREATMENTS IN AYURVEDA <
Centuries ago, the enlightened masters, in search of spiritual solace, composed the Ayurveda, for the welfare of humanity. According to the scriptures, the human body is made up of 72000 channels connected to the seven spiral energy centers, the diseases of body and mind, which in turn block the path to spiritual enlightenment. The Panchakarma treatment aims at cleansing these channels, pacifying the disease and nourishing the body. It provides longevity, immunity against the disease, whereas in ancient times Yoga, Astrology, Tantra, and Ayurveda were practiced not for longevity but as an ultimate path to enlightenment.
In those ages Ayurveda and self-realisation were cognate and the people held this science in veneration. In the present world it is seen as merely a tool to cure human ailments. More over the practitioners of Ayurveda were Yogis, who would hold the stretched arms of the patients in their hands locate the pulse points and close their eyes as if in a deep trance. Seconds later, they would recount the diagnostic findings one by one. They never had any clinical laboratory or any other technological devices. The innate propensity of certain punarjanis were so splendid that it could work wonders to cure the diseases.
The physician:
Inspired by the findings of the Ayurveda masters we have formulated a system of treatment at ‚Punarjanis‘ bringing the ancient teachings to the limelight in an attempt to serve humanity. We focus on patients with chronic intractable ailments where routine medicine is only palliative.
Dr. E. Shaji Raj, a disciple of Bhramashri Parabattaraka Ananganandanathan Padathirtha, completed his > BAMS < from Madras University. Hailing from a family of traditional Ayurvedic physicians, he has been doing active research in the field of healing for the past 16 years – primarily related to raising energy from the lower center of the body to the higher center. He is one among the few ayurvedic physicians around the world who practice pulse reading and panchakarma treatment.
Incorporating the philosophy and the gist of Ayurveda with the root idea of Tantra and Yoga, the final result is not just cure, but a sea change – a path to enlightenment and bliss. The results have been amazing – an enlightened mind in a sound body.
Adi Shankara:
Adi Shankara (Malayalam:ആദി ശങ്കരന്, DevanÄgarÄ: आदि शङ्कर, Ädi Śaṅkara, pronounced [aːd̪i ɕaŋkərə]); (788 CE – 820 CE), also known as Śaṅkara BhagavatpÄdÄcÄrya and Ädi ŚaṅkarÄcÄrya, was an Indian philosopher who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta, a sub-school of Vedanta. His teachings are based on the unity of the soul and Brahman, in which Brahman is viewed as without attributes. He hailed from Kalady of present day Kerala.
Shankara travelled across India and other parts of South Asia to propagate his philosophy through discourses and debates with other thinkers. He founded four mathas („monasteries“), which helped in the historical development, revival and spread of Advaita Vedanta. Adi Shankara is believed to be the organizer of the Dashanami monastic order and the founder of the Shanmata tradition of worship.
His works in Sanskrit, all of which are extant today, concern themselves with establishing the doctrine of Advaita (Nondualism). He also established the importance of monastic life as sanctioned in the Upanishads and Brahma Sutra, in a time when the Mimamsa school established strict ritualism and ridiculed monasticism. Shankara relied entirely on the Upanishads for reference concerning Brahman and wrote copious commentaries on the Vedic Canon (Brahma Sutra, Principal Upanishads and Bhagavadgita) in support of his thesis. The main opponent in his work is the Mimamsa school of thought, though he also offers some arguments against the views of some other schools like Samkhya and certain schools of Buddhism that he was familiar with.

SHIRODHARA – CLINICAL PANCAKARMA
> AYURVEDA HOSPITAL SERVICES <
Panchakarma (Sanskrit: पंचकर्म, literally meaning „five actions“) is the word for the five different procedures used in Ayurveda which are believed to purify the body. This is done in two ways: 1)pacifying the aggravated doshas by using appropriate diet, natural herbs and minerals, and 2) eliminating the increased Doshas from the body.
Five actions
Panchakarma (meaning „five actions“) developed in India, though there are regional variations in therapeutic procedure as well as in the equipment used. According to Charaka, the five actions are Nasya (nasal therapy), Vamana (emesis or vomiting), Virechana (purging) and two kinds of Vasti (therapeutic enema), Nirooha Vasti and Sneha Vasti. Herbal decoctions are used for Nirooha Vasti and herbal oils for Sneha Vasti.
Another school, that of the surgeon Sushruta, regards Rakta (blood) also as a dosha (humour), the vitiation of which can cause diseases, and advocates Raktamokshana (bloodletting) as the fifth in the Panchakarma therapies. In this school the five therapies are Nasya, Vamana, Virechana, Vasti and Raktamokshana. As bloodletting involves medical venesection, it is no longer popular. Leeching, however, is still practised.
This five-fold therapy is aimed at Shodhana, the eradication of the basic cause of disease. Shodhana or eradication, along with Shamana, the mitigation of the disease and its symptoms, are the two concepts of disease management in Ayurveda. Panchakarma is also believed by practitioners to have a rejuvenating effect. Read More: > HERE <

Paracelsus (born Phillip von Hohenheim, 11 November or 17 December 1493 in Einsiedeln, Switzerland – 24 September 1541 in Salzburg, Austria) was a Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. Born Phillip von Hohenheim, he later took up the name Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, and still later took the title Paracelsus, meaning „equal to or greater than Celsus“, a Roman encyclopedist, Aulus Cornelius Celsus from the first century known for his tract on medicine.He is also credited for giving zinc its name, calling it zincum and is regarded as the first systematic botanist
GERMAN PHYSICIAN, ALCHEMIST, AND SCIENTIST
1493–1541
Paracelsus was born Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim.
He was a contemporary of Martin Luther and > Nicolaus Copernicus <. He adopted his pseudonym based on his assertion that he was a better physician than Celsus, the first century C.E. Roman author on medicine acclaimed in Renaissance Europe (he was „Para-Celsus,“ or beyond Celsus).
His self-promotion as „The Most Highly Experienced and Illustrious Physician … “ has given us the word „bombastic,“ derived from his birth name.
Paracelsus gained his early medical knowledge from his father, who was a physician. He followed this education with formal medical training at the University of Ferrara in Italy. Finding his formal training disappointing, Paracelsus embarked on a life of travel and study combined with medical practice. According to Paracelsus, he collected medical knowledge anywhere he could find it without regard to academic authority.
He acknowledged his consultations with peasants, barbers, chemists, old women, quacks, and magicians. Paracelsus developed his notions of disease and treatment away from any established medical faculty and promoted the idea that academic medical training had reached a state deeply in need of reform.
Paracelsus believed in the four „Aristotelian“ elements of earth, air, fire, and water. His medical theory was based on the notion that earth is the fundamental element of existence for humans and other living things. Paracelsus believed that earth generated all living things under the rule of three „principles“: salt, sulfur, and mercury. He therefore believed these substances to be very potent as chemical reactants, as poisons, and as medical treatments. Read More about Aristoteles: >HERE <
THE AGAMIC TRADITION AND THE ARTS – (tantrah.)
Mahabhutas in Sangita-Sastra
With Special Reference to Yoga and Ayurveda
Prem Lata Sharma
The five elements have been said here to be the manifestation of Siva, the Supreme Being.
An enquiry into the role of Mahabhutas in Music is essentially a quest for the relationship between the ‚outer‘, ‚inner‘, and what is beyond the two. Roughly, the human organism is the ‚inner‘, whatever is outside the body is the ‚outer‘ and both are closely interrelated.
That which permeates both of them and is yet intangible is beyond them. In understanding the ‚inner‘, both Yoga, and, Ayurveda have made a deep study of the psycho-physical centres in the human body as well as the physiological structure of the body in terms of the Mahabhutas.
The unity of the ‚inner‘ and the ‚outer‘ has been established by expounding that the sense-organs, their objects and their functions are all manifestations of the Mah¡bh£tas. The following passage from Sa´g¢ta-Ratn¡kara makes this very clear.
The Sangita-Ratnakara (1.2.56c-71b) describes the structure and functions of the human body in terms of the five Mahabhutas as follows: >>> H E R E <<<

This PhD could not be completed because of the untimely passing away of Professor Kloppenborg (2002-2004)…“
“ The mahabhutas in cidambaram and ancient temples „
GROSS ELEMENTS IN YOGA, AYURVEDA, HINDUISM, BUDDHISM:
MahÄbhūta is Sanskrit and PÄli for „great element.“ In Hinduism, the five „great“ or „gross“ elements are ether, air, fire, water and earth. In Buddhism, the „four great elements“ (Pali: cattÄro mahÄbhūtÄni) are earth, water, fire and air.
In Hinduism’s sacred literature, the „great“ or „gross“ elements (mahÄbhūta) are fivefold: space (or „ether“), air, fire, water and earth.
For instance, the TaittirÄya Upaniṣad describes the five „sheaths“ of a person (Sanskrit: puruṣa), starting with the grossest level of the five evolving great elements:
From this very self (Ätman) did space come into being; from space, air; from air, fire; from fire, the waters, from the waters, the earth; from the earth, plants; from plants, food; and from food, man…. Different from and lying within this man formed from the essence of food is the self (Ätman) consisting of lifebreath…. Different from and lying within this self consisting of breath is the self (Ätman) consisting of mind…. Different from and lying within this self consisting of mind is the self (Ätman) consisting of perception…. Different from and lying within this self consisting of perception is the self (Ätman) consisting of bliss….
In Buddhism, the four Great Elements (Pali: cattÄro mahÄbhūtÄni) are earth, water, fire and air. MahÄbhūta is generally synonymous with catudhÄtu, which is PÄli for the „Four Elements.“ In early Buddhism, the Four Elements are a basis for understanding and for liberating oneself from suffering. They are categories used to relate to the sensible physical world, and are conceived of not as substances, but as sensorial qualities.
In the Pali canon, the most basic elements are usually identified as four in number but, on occasion, a fifth and, to an even lesser extent, a sixth element may be also be identified.
