Are you following the secret of healthy lifestyles?

To answer the question, one must know what is the secret of health. Healthy living means not a disease-free life. As a living being, disease is an inevitable part of life. Any harmful deviation from the usual functionality of an organism with certain symptoms may be caused by pathogenic microbes and viruses or genetical disorders is a disease.

According to the World Health Organization, Healthy living is a technique of existing that benefits one relishes more sphere of life. It is a way of surviving that drops the risk of being sick. Health is not just about avoiding an ailment or illness. “It is about physical, mental and social well-being too.” We can find the answer to the question in eternal Srimad-Bhagavat Gita. The essence of whatever is eternal always shows the right way.

 

 

“yuktahara-viharasya
yukta-cestasya karmasu
yukta-svapnavabodhasya
yogo bhavati duhkha-ha” [Gita 6:17]

The meaning of the shloka is -He(/one person) who is balancing his habits of food intake, sleeping, working and recreation can alleviate all substantial troubles by practice of yoga.

Yuktahara= Regulated eating practice.

Viharasya= Recreation

Yukta ecstasy karmasu = Regulated work for maintenance and perform duties

Yukta svapnavabodhasya= Regulated sleep and wakefulness

Yoga bhavati duhkha-ha = Yoga becomes the tool to diminish pain.

This occurs as hunger contains many features of consumption forms such as Nature of food= Oily, Sweet, Spicy etc. Frequency of intake: Number of meals in a day. Density: Low fat, High fat, amount etc. Time of intake: Like skip breakfast etc.

. These all played a vital role in the Psychobiological System in the human body. Some behavioural action before intake of food and after complete eating can create the energy balance of the body. Before intake of food scientist's name, it cephalic phase and termination of eating it is termed as a post ingestive phase.

Even before the food is not touched only smell and vision can generate physiological signals. In this situation, the many parts of the gastrointestinal tract start in response. When food comes to mouth and eating ends, afferent information [Neurons that accept info from our bodily sensory organs and communicate this input to the central nervous system] controls appetite/hunger. Most of all hypothalamic nuclei is involved in cephalic phase and post ingestive phase. Hypothalamic nuclei perform activities like controlling cardiac rhythm. Controlling body temperature, maintaining blood pressure, heart rate. Physiological signals that trigger healthier living are nothing but a well-organized preparation with regulated diet, recreations, performing responsibilities and yogic practice.

Narayan Shila- Worshipping the 'The living fossil.'

  Ture knowledge of Veda never did any discrimination. It was a systematized process to attain a higher self. According to Rigveda, the modern cosmos to be well-thought-out as Vishnu. Every creation of the universe is contingent on the realm of Vishnu consecration. Implicitly in Vishnu ideology, there is no discrimination on the caste, class, race divisions. We often worship Saligram or Narayan. Shila is the holiest worship before any auspicious occasion. In Asia, North-east India, this shaligram shila used as a paradigmatic symbol of Vishnu and the restorer of the creation. A Shaligram shila idolized in the Hindu-Pauranic religion with prodigious respect and divine status.   Sometimes it is found that this. Shaligram is not allowed to touch by others apart from the inheritor of this holy piece. The discrimination starts from this point. Occasionally the inheritor claims themselves as the brahmin and the only responsible worshipper of the shaligram. Being scientific-minde...

'Mananat-trayate iti Mantrah'

Image
    Mantra saves from boredom. A monotonous thought of worldly desire is boredom. Mantras help to liberate us from uncertainties of worldly needs. In modern busy schedule, we are struggling to fulfil our basic needs meanwhile we can experience divinity by manifesting the divine sphere within us.  The connotation of every mantra is eternity. It is a ripple beyond the cognitive understanding. When the cognizance is incapable to cognize, it just melts into a transcendental sphere. Human can sense sounds in a frequency range from almost 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Galactic sound, that originates exterior the earth’s sphere cannot be sensed by human with unembellished sound receiver. This is called cosmic noise. This noise can be experienced at higher frequency. Sometimes we can touch that in the way of inner journey. Sounds are vibrations. The explicit arrangements of group of sound establishes definite forms, like a simple temperature, variation can affect the so...

A sacred instrument -“Damaru”-

  A sacred instrument -“Damaru”-   A small two led instrument of Lord Shiva is known as Damaru. Damaru has been symbolized as one of the secret theory of the mystery of creation. Like trishula(trident) the Vedic Shiva who is famous with the name Shambhu(the state of ecstasy) holds Damaru in his hands.   In the assembly of Damaru, two triangles have loomed together. The upper triangle is manifestation of the ‘true self’ of Shambhu and the downward triangle the creative spirit of Shambhu.     When there is no creation, creative force is merged with the true self of Shambhu. In the merged structure, one ‘balance centre’ is created in the middle of the merged triangles. The ‘balance centre’ is the power of observance.       At the time when two theories become unglued vertically, keeping the ‘balance centre’ middle, the physical expansion take place.   ...
