Acharya Balkrishna ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 6 CHANGES IN LIFE WITH YOG AND PRANAYAM Respected Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj, Namaskar! I am a resident of Bakthiarpur, Patna in Bihar. I am 57 year old and weigh 86 kilos. There was 90 per- cent blockage in two arteries three years back and two studs have been fitted through angioplasty. I incurred huge expenditure but with negligible benefit. I noticed difficulty in climb- ing up stairs and walking even 100 meters like before. I started practicing Yog, pranayam and exercise under the supervision of Yog teacher at Patanjali Yogpeeth. Now I can take five complete rounds of Patanjali and my weight has reduced by five ki- los. I have reaped lot of benefits. Swami Ji, this has been possible only with Yog and pranayam. My life has changed completely. I am thank- ful to Patanjali Yogpeeth. Yours sincerely, Shyam Sunder Village & PO- Bakhtiarpur, Dist- Patna, Bihar M: 09431035434 PRESCRIPTION SYMBOL SHOULD BE CHANGED Respected Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj, Namaskar! The medical practitioners use the symbol R X for writing prescrip- tion and Horess and Jupiter gods are remembered. This should be re- placed with some Indian, cultural and religious symbol. In this respect ayurvedic admirer Shri Nihal Ajmera has proposed the symbol ªr s for the doctors and done a commendable work. Yogacharya Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj has also appreciated this effort. In the letter, ¤ s ´¤' implies I am praying lord Dhanvantari for quick recovery of the patient and ´s' means I am prescribing this treatment. If all the doctors write this sym- bol on the prescriptions with this good feeling in their minds then they will win the hearts of the patients as well as remember lord Dhanvantari ev- ery time. Yours sincerely, Vaidya Natwar Lal Shukla Vaidya Madan Lal Shrotriya Dist – Vaidya Sabha Bhilwada, Rajasthan PRANAYAM RELIEVED ASTHMA Respected Ramdev Babaji, Namaskar! I am 56 years old and have been suffering from asthma for the last 40 years. I am practicing pranayam since four years and feel healthy. I get asthma attacks in be- tween during winter season. I am teaching Yog for the last three years and everybody is reaping the ben- efits. Yours sincerely Mayadevi C-4 G/66A, Janakpuri, New Delhi – 110058 MANKIND IS GRATEFUL TO SWAMI JI FOR HIS NOBLE WORK Respected Swami Ji Maharaj, Namaskar! The health awareness mission that you have started at national level for the last so many years has a posi- tive impact on the society. Yog prac- tice is an ancient tradition of our country. You have given it interna- tional recognition and we Indians will be always indebted and grateful to you for this noble work. These days, adulteration is strengthening its roots in our coun- try, which is proving dangerous for the public health. The corrupt trad- ers are adulterating the edible things and earning huge profits. They are involving in serious crime against the nation and the society. We can see adulteration in sweets, milk, oil, tur- meric powder, lentils and other food items. There are laws to control this but only laws are not sufficient. The government should set up special force or STF in order to control adul- teration and carry on awareness programs through non-government organizations. This nexus should face social boycott. The youth should proactive steps in this area. The nation and society should be freed from this adulteration because it is resulting in several serious dis- eases. I am practicing Yog and pranayam daily and experiencing immense happiness. People should also develop the habit of practicing Yog and lead a healthy life. I am inspiring my friends and relatives to practice Yog because it is not for any particular sect, community, reli- gion or caste. It is for the benefit of mankind. Yog should be included in the school and college curriculum because this will improve the future generations and increase India pride. Swami Ji you are like a savior for this pious work and I thank you a million times.

The mother blesses people of all religions in equal manner and gives good fruits, water. We have the duty to sing in its honor and this feeling can be noticed in this slogan as well. The poet is saying to look into its nights glittering with moonlight, the waterfalls, the greenery, the trees and the nature. We have to understand our relations with the motherland. Its salt, its air is filled in our body. This feeling is expressed in this slo- gan. Yogrishi Swami Ramdev believes that Vandemataram is not a prayer but a salute of a true patriotic citizen to the nation. Vandemataram liter- ally means, salute to the mother. Swami Ji says that a citizen chants it by believing that his country is everything for him and takes the vow to sacrifice everything for the sake of the country. He expresses love towards his nation by chanting this and feels proud. Vandemataram was chanted by both Hindus and Muslims during Indian freedom struggle as a slogan. They fulfilled the dreams of mar- tyrs and released motherland from the clutches of British rule. It does not involve idol worship. Our motherland is beautiful, we are its children and we have a deep relation with it. Mother India is not the name of a stone, Vandemataram is a tribute, and it is not prayer. The poet is requesting not to throw back the boat in storm once again. (Not to throw back independence) The poet expresses that Vandemataram is not an attack on any religion and there is no need to force anybody to chant it. It is not a sect or caste. It is the sound of the conch shell blown by our freedom fighters. It is a sound of freedom, a blessing of sages and seers, and one should teach the chil- dren from childhood. He says that our rec- ognition is hidden in its recognition. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 11 Yogrishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj has narrated Gita in the form of Gitamrita.

How will we benefit by killing these Kauravas. We will face the curse of murdering our own dear and close ones. Therefore, it is not correct to kill our relatives Kauravas. Hey Madhav! How will we attain happiness by killing our relatives?’ According to classics, there are six types of criminals. They are, those who come to burn the house, those who give poison, those who kill with weapons, those who rob wealth, those who kill women, those who destroy fields. According to Vashisht Smriti (3-16) and Manu Smriti (8-350-351) there is no sin in killing such type of people. ¤ut¤a ª ¤r¤f-a ¬r+rr¤ra¤a=.ì ¤¬+r¤¤a ªrrr fn·rªrr ¤ ¤ra¤n¸ìssìì ¤ºr ª a¤ntnrf+r. ¤r¤rªtnrf-ª¤faan¸ì ¤¬+r¤¤a ªrrr ¤¤r¤fª¸+r¬ªrªªììsvìì ¤¬+r¤ ¤¢rr¤f-a ¤¬¤nr. =ªraªr.ì ¤n ªrº ¤¬ ¤-nn¤nr:f+r+r¤-¤aìì+oìì (38-40) those who lose their mind due to greed do not see any sin in destroying the family or deceiving friends. But, I can see that destroying a family is a big sin. Therefore, Hey Janardan! How can my mind be free from this point? Should we also become sinners along with sinners. The ancient family values also get destroyed when family is destroyed. When family values are destroyed the family comes under the shadow of irreligion. =¤nrf+r+r¤r-¤r¢r ¤ªr¤f-a ¤¬ft·r¤.ì t·rtrr ªrºr= ¤rr¢r¤ ¬r¤a ¤¢r=zt.ìì++ìì =z¸¤tr ªt¤r¤¤ ¤¬rªrªr ¤¬t¤ ¤ì ¤af-a f¤atr nrrr ¬taf¤¢zrª¤fa¤r.ìì+zìì ªrrrta. ¤¬rªrªr ¤¢r=z¸¤t¤rt¤.ì s-=ru-a ¬rfa¤nr. ¤¬¤nrr¤ rrrr¤ar.ìì+sìì s-=-ª¤¬¤nr¢rr nªr¤r¢rr ¬ªrªªì ªt¤:fª¤a ¤r=r +r¤at-¤ªrrvnìì++ìì =rr ¤a nr-¤r¤ ¤a ª¤¤f=ar ¤¤n¸ì ¤ªrº¤==r¬r+rª r-a t¤¬ªnuar.ìì+sìì ¤fª nrn¤at¤rtnrrn rrn¤r¢r¤.ì ¤ratrrºr t¢r r-¤ta-n +rnat +r¤a¸ìì+eìì · =~¤¤ -¤|- · q¤n¤-¤r¬ª. =z¸=¤ tºrr¤tºr s¤rf¤rra¸ì f¤=º¤ =rrt ¤r¤ rrr¤=f¤ªªnrª=.ìì+zìì (40-45) Hey Krishna! The women deviate from their path and become corrupt when irreligion increases in the family. When women become corrupt the progeny also becomes corrupt and loses its character. When the future generations lose their character, the family goes to hell and their ancestors become defamed. When ancient traditions and rituals get vanished, the elders go to hell. Corruption in family leads to destruction of family and caste and those who lose their family values live in hell. Hey Krishna!, we have been hearing like this. (45-46) Just see! We are getting inspired by greed and are planning to kill our close ones through war. Instead of this it would have been better if I had surrendered weapons and stop thinking about the destruction of Kauravas and if they these Kaurava's kill me in the battlefield. 47) Sanjay said, Hey Dhritarashtra! Arjuna said these words and put down his weapons, bow and arrow, he became sad and went and sat in his chariot. (as per the tradition the charioteer was supposed to stand and fight the war). It was a clear indication for shri Krishna ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 13 that Arjuna who was attached to his relatives was in deep grief with the possibility of losing his dear ones and has deviated from war. This conversation between Krishna and Arjuna took place in the battle field of Kurukshetra, where the armies of Kaurava and Pandavas were standing in front of each other. The Pandavas were forced to decide to fight against Kauravas in order to protect their self respect with the aim of taking revenge against the atrocities of Kauravas, to protect their rights, and when all their proposals to convince Kauravas failed so much so that Duryodhana refuses the proposal of shri Krishna to give five villages to Pandavas and says that they would not give even a piece of land equal to a needle. Kauravas troubled the Pandavas to a great extent, Pandavas faced lot of atrocities, and were deprived of their rights. King Dhritarashtra encouraged the wrong deeds of his son , Duryodhana due to attachment. These facts are described in the Mahabharata. The decision of Pandavas to fight a war against Kaurava’s with respect to all these incidents is a justifiable decision with the purpose of protecting their self respect and identity. Arjuna falls into the trap of attachment in the battlefield that he will use weapons and kill those relatives, friends and dear ones to whom he was so close, he had grown up in the laps of Bhishma, he had learnt the usage of weapons from his gurus, and other relatives. He was thinking all these things and did not want to live, no matter Kaurava’s would find him alone without weapon and kill him. He became confused and disillusioned with the myths of sins-virtues, dutifulness- non dutifulness, hell-heaven. He surrenders his weapons and decides not to fight the war. This world is full of struggle. The man has to struggle at every step, the man has to protect his own rights and also fulfill his duties towards the society, nation and entire mankind. Man is the most superior creature of this earth. Other creatures only enjoy and satisfy themselves, they are forced to lead their lives as per the facilities provided by the nature. But it is not true with respect to man. Man is a thoughtful creature, he is free to work and is dependent on mental condition. He has special responsibilities being a supreme social animal. He can improve his life and become happy, at the same time he can fall down to a very level and make his life a hell, where he will find only sorrows and troubles. The man has to create balance between his rights and responsibilities. Many times he has to choose between two responsibilities, at that time it becomes difficult to decide as to which responsibility is more important. Majority of the people fall into the trap of attachment and take wrong decision and lose mental balance. Many times they become confused and foolish, even a warrior like Arjuna. He had also become disillusioned and developed affection towards his close ones. In such a time, the advice of Krishna will alone help him to take a right decision. Not only Arjuna, Gita is a philosophy of life for every man, it is the biggest message to maintain mental balance and perform ones duties selflessly. Special thought on background of Gita: It was clarified in the beginning of this narration that Gita is the summary of Upanishads, this nectar like Gita is available for all the people with inquisitiveness like Arjuna. In olden days, there was a tradition to present the summary of the book at the end in the form of a resolution. Here the summary of each chapter of Gita has been presented with the same theme. The resolution is> --¸ =l<l- >in<¸ ·|ª¤<ªi-|=¸ ¤l-·|·= ¤ nl¤¤|¤| ¤|ªz||ª·| >i+·º||¤-=¤|<:¤-l¤·||<¤|ª| -|n ¤n·||:·¤|¤· This resolution has been read at the end of the chapter along with its meaning. For example, the name of second chapter is Sankhyayog, followed by Karmayog, Gy a n k a r ma s a n y a s y o g , k a r ma s a n y a s y o g , Atmasanyasyog, Atmasanyamyog, Gyanvigyanyog, Aksharbrahmayog, Rajvidya-Rajguhyayog, Vibhutiyog, V i s h v a r u p d a r s h a n y o g , B h a k t i y o g , Kshetrakshetragyavibhagyog, Gunatravibhagayog, Gu n a t r a y a v i b h a g a y o g , Pu r o s h a t t a ma y o g , De v a s u r s a mp a d v i b h a g a y o g , Bh a k t i y o g , Shradhatrayavibhagayog and Mokshasanyasyog. The mantra '> --¸ =-¸' has been explained at the end of the chapter and should be seen there. The three important words mifu'-¤l-·|·= ¤nl¤¤|¤| ¤|ªz||ª·|'have been used after this, it means that this classic is Upanishad, theological science and an attempt has been made to open the secrets of Upanishads with Krishna and Arjuna as characters. Otherwise how is it possible that where both the armies are standing in front of each other Shri Krishna and Arjuna will get into such a big discussion running into 18 chapters. To be continue........... ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 14 Joint pain is caused when acidic content in the body increases. This acidic content pollutes the blood. The polluted material gets stuck in the joints when windy element increases in the body, this causes pain and stiffness in the body. The poisonous content circu- lates in the whole body due to blood im- purities and also increases body tem- perature. There is also swelling in the joints. The disease spreads in all the body joints and the patient is unable to sit, walk, stand and do the daily routine activities. This disease is caused only due to blood impuri- ties. The reasons for joint pain are same as those for respiratory problems. In this case the oxalic acid of acidic element is produced in higher quantity which leads to swelling in joints, pain and stiffness. This is the main reason for this disease. Natural cure: Take Triphala churna daily and clear the stomach. Take spoonful Triphala churna with lukewarm water at bedtime for smooth bowel movement. Put 100 gm each of magnesium salt and table salt in hot water in the bathing tub. Sleep in the bathtub for 30 minutes and massage the whole body and joints with a thick towel. Place a cold wet towel on the head until the patient is in the bath tub. Do not pour hot water on head. If the patient feels hot later then give bath with cold water and if the patient feels cold then give bath with hot water. Wipe the body with dry towel and go inside the room. Let the patient sleep for 30 to 60 min- utes. Some joint exercises should be done before going to sleep in order to remove all the accumulations in joints. If bathtub is not available, then give sauna bath for ten minutes or put the feet in hot water for ten minutes. This should be followed by 30 minutes of sunbath and massage the body under sun with some ayurvedic me- dicinal oil. Alternately, pour coconut oil in a red coloured bottle and place it under sun for 20-25 days. This oil is effective in joint pain. When the body becomes hot un- der sun, then do some joint exercises. Excellent natural therapy facility is available at Yog Gram of Patanjali Yogpeeth. Yogic cure: Yogic cure is also a natural therapy; the patient can practice Kunjal, Jalneti and Sutraneti and purify his body. The patient should begin the practice of Yogasana when the joint pain and swelling is relieved. Yogasana like Surya Namaskar, Katichakrasana, Vajrasana, Makarasana, and Pavanmuktasana should be practiced for special benefit. Yognidra should be practiced for 30 minutes daily. This will relax the body and give relief. Give three minutes hot fomentation followed by two minutes cold fomentation in case of pain and swell- ing in knees, wrist, elbow and shoulders. Massage the joints nicely and do some joint exercises. Diet and regimen: The disease should be controlled with dietary re- strictions. The patient does not get sufficient health benefit unless proper diet is taken. The food should contain vitamin A and D in sufficient quantities, but avoid tomato, spinach vegetable or its juice because they contain oxalic acid. Take raw vegetable juice especially carrot, cucum- ber, round gourd, gourd, ginger and fruit juices like orange, sweet lime, apple, pomegranate, grapes etc. this will reduce joint pain, swelling and stiffness within few days. Use garlic and ginger in good quantities. Mix half spoon honey in spoonful garlic juice and take twice daily to overcome windy problem. Add it in cooked vegetables also. Many times, the disease gets aggravated with the practice of Yog because Yog removes the disease from the body; it does not just suppress the disease. There is no need to get panicky. Reduce the treat- ment or stop it for two to three days. Follow the diet regularly. -Vaidya Shravan Kumar Tripathi Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 15 Dr. Prof. R. N.Mishra Yogic exercises are very important for life. They include Yogasana, pranayam etc. Pranayam can cure several diseases but it is necessary to understand pranayam before practicing it. Pranayam is made with the combination of two words, Prana + Ayam. Prana means life energy and Ayam means scope. Therefore, pranayam means the activity that increases the scope of life energy. It has four stages: Poorak – filling in air Kumbhak – stopping air inside Rechak – throwing out air Bahya Kumbhak – stopping air outside There are certain rules for practicing pranayam. If pranayam is being practiced to overcome any disease then the following precautions should be kept in mind otherwise it could be harmful. Rules: Air is extremely pure in morning time. Therefore, this time is recommended for practicing pranayam. Practice it on empty stomach. Drink glassful cold or lukewarm water depending on weather. Do not practice it when sunlight is bright. There are chances of getting Vayu, pitta or kapha doshas dur- ing this time. Wear loose clothes while practicing it. Sit on a woolen mat or cotton mattress and practice pranayam in some meditative pose. Keep the eyes and mouth closed while practicing pranayam. Breathe in and breathe out through nose. Increase the duration of Poorak, Rechak, and Bahya Kumbhak etc. gradually. Pranayam can be done in the evening also (sunset time). Pranayam should not be done in case of fever, loose motions, tuberculosis, chest pain, high blood pres- sure and extreme weakness. Finish daily chores before doing pranayam. Do not take solid food or cold water etc. till 30 min- utes after practicing pranayam. Do not practice pranayam in case of swelling in stomach or kidney or wound, which moves those organs. Otherwise it could cause pain. Practice pranayam in open air Pranayam is beneficial for the health, but it should be practiced in open air instead of closed room. Prac- ticing pranayam in closed room is not that beneficial as in open air. Oxygen is available in sufficient quan- tity outside. The benefits obtained from practice of pranayam and asana in open air increases as oxy- gen is obtained in more quantity. If Yogasana and pranayam are practiced in garden, near plants and greenery then the benefits increase to a great ex- tent. Practice Yog to reduce weight Yog reduces weight. It increases internal strength and rejuvenates the body. Yog is a sure shot for obe- sity. Maintain regular daily routine while practicing Yog and do it with full faith. Brahmari and Nadishodhan reduce obesity. Simple Bhastrika and simple Kapalbhati improve metabo- lism and reduce fat, therefore overweight people should practice it. People suffering from over work and stress should practice Yognidra daily for ten minutes. It is the best remedy. It gives miraculous benefits if done before meals. Meditation practiced for 10 to 20 minutes daily helps in maintaining mental and emotional balance. Stress, disappointment and sadness increase weight. People experiencing disappointment or distress, and those habituated to overeating should follow the path of karma i.e., work. Obese people should develop the habit of eating nu- tritious food – chapatti made with whole wheat, sea- sonal fruits, vegetables, soups, salad etc. in suffi- cient quantity. Food should be chewed properly. Maintain fixed time for meals. There should be an interval of five to six hours between two meals. Do not take sweets, sugar, fat, spices, milk and milk products, products made with refined flour, fried food, cold drinks etc. in excess quantity. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 16 Practice the following asana along with the above mentioned precautions, Pavanmuktasana, Vajrasana, Paschimottasana, Vakrasana, Trikonasana, Bhujangasana, Tadasana, Dhanurasana, Naukasana and Surya Namaskara. Repeat each asana five to seven times but Trikonasana is the best asana out of all. Yoga practice is necessary for women also Today, every woman requires Yog practice. A woman undergoes lot of physical and mental changes during her lifetime. Yog can prove very beneficial in overcom- ing the problems undergone during these changes. It also proves beneficial in providing good physical and mental health to the woman. From childhood to adolescence Girls undergo mental and physical changes during adolescence. This period of sudden changes is ideal for beginning the practice of Yog and pranayam. Yog prac- tice is like any other sport during childhood and the child does different types of asana knowingly and unknow- ingly. But, the child understands the meaning of Yog only when he grows up. Yog and pranayam prove ben- eficial in maintaining the strength of girls during men- strual cycle. During this age, asana should be practiced that strengthen emotional stability, control mood swings and regulate menstrual cycle. Yog proves even more beneficial during the growing up stage, as it strengthens the muscles and balances the hormones. Yog practice and pregnancy Physical and mental health should be improved dur- ing and after pregnancy. Yog improves the health of the woman during this period and also helps in overcoming labor pain and post pregnancy related problems. Benefits of Yog during pregnancy Yog can be adopted depending on the changing needs and abilities of the body. It strengthens the muscles of the uterus, supports the spine, and helps in toler- ating the excess pressure of back. Yog makes the body capable of tolerating many physi- cal problems arising during pregnancy. Yog practice after delivery increases oxygen con- sumption and thereby increases breast milk. Practicing light yogic exercises after one or two months of delivery strengthens all the fibers and in- creases breast milk. Old age and menopause Yog practice is especially beneficial during old age and menopause. Many physical changes and mental problems are seen between the age of 45 and 55 years due to hormonal changes. The symptoms include – ex- cessive perspiration, high blood pressure, chest related problems, headache, obesity and insomnia. The disease fighting capacity also reduces. The chances of infec- tion in the body also increases, especially urine infec- tion. During this age, problems like diabetes, bone de- generation, anger, stress, restlessness, lack of will power, lack of self-confidence and dissatisfaction arise in mind. Regular Yog practice helps in maintaining mental, physi- cal and emotional health. Padottasana, Suptavajrasana, Paschimottasana are beneficial in controlling weight, maintaining hormonal balance during menopause. Yog practice during old age Both men and women have to face lot of physical challenges between middle age and old age. This is true especially for women. The common problems are bone degeneration, poor metabolism, improper blood circula- tion and poor mental abilities. During this stage, Yog practice helps in controlling blood circulation and maintains the health of the ner- vous system, and thereby keeps the body healthy and fit. Yog controls both physical and mental health during this period. Yog removes side effects Yog can overcome the problems faced by cancer patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It im- proves the disease fighting capacity. Patients also im- prove their mental health. Central Council for Research Yog (New Delhi) has found in this study that Yog is indeed a blessing for human life. Practice Yog as per physical capacity Yog practice is useful for the body but it should be done depending on one’s physical capacity. It has a good impact. Which asana should be practiced for how much time is best decided by a Yog teacher? Take the advice of a Yog teacher and follow the precautions before be- ginning the Yog practice. Neti is also important Asana and pranayam are considered to be incom- plete without netikriya. The objective of Yog is to es- tablish physical and mental strength, which keeps the soul, mind and body healthy and cheerful. Yog is con- sidered to be the basis of spiritual achievements. But, these achievements are obtained only through the body only. It is necessary to keep the body active and dis- ease free. Purification is necessary and that too inter- nal purification. Shatkarma plays an important role in this case. Patanjali Yogpeeth has excellent Shatkarma treatment facilities. Here patients are reaping health benefits and curing incurable diseases. People are bene fitting from natural cure at Yog Gram. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 17 -Sitaram Gupt A person who does not have any place for amusement in life does not re- quire any other means to become un- happy. He remains unhappy always without any efforts. A smile and a whole hearted laugh- ter are capable of changing the direction of life. Human body is like a laboratory, wherein biochemical and electro magnetic changes take place inside it every moment. The man feels happy or sad due these changes. Mind plays a prominent role in this. The bio chemical composition is affected in our body due to our psychological condition. Positive thinking has good impact and negative thinking has bad impact on the bio chemical composition. Laughter is such a pro- cess wherein mind has a secondary or negligible role. A person who laughs reaches the stage of no thought state, which is stage of meditation. Here the question arises as to why does laughter does not have negative impact in no thought state? The reason is clear, in this stage; we are totally disassoci- ated from happiness-unhappiness, jealousy-hatred and other contrary feelings. This stage is the stage of ulti- mate happiness and hence there is no question of nega- tive impact. Moreover, laughter is related to happiness. We laugh when we are happy. This is also due to our conditioning for the past several ages. Therefore, if we laugh without any reason then we will attain happiness naturally and changes are seen in bio chemical compo- sition in the body depending on the health condition. Saint Patanjali has defined Yog in the book ‘Yogsutra’. It says ´¤rn . f¤-r¤f-r fªtr¤.' in other words controlling conditions of mind is Yog. When we laugh wholeheartedly and loudly then we are able to control the playfulness of our mind, though momentary. The momentary control on the playfulness of mind is an unmatchable incident for the man and is beneficial for his health. Laughter is actually instant Yog. The more it is repeated, the more we reach closer to yogic life. We follow sequence in Yog practice. We learn to follow rules and respect observances. Then we prac- tice different types of Yogasana and pranayam. Later we pass through the stages of concentration and con- trolling senses and reach the stage of meditation. But, a wholehearted laugh- ter takes us to the stage of meditation immediately. Laughter is a momentary incident but its impact is seen on body and mind for 30 to 45 minutes. Laughter exercises also prove beneficial. Laughing wholeheartedly also impacts the respiratory process and Yogasana and pranayam are also practiced with this process. Laughter burns extra calories and helps in con- trolling weight. It increases blood circulation in the whole body and gives nourishment to the muscles, especially the cheeks. Yog is a complete health building system. Laughter is no less than any yogic exercise. Therefore laughter therapy is known as laughter Yog. A treatment process: Laughter is a complete exercise, which opens all the nerves, relieves fatigue and provides freshness to the body. Laughing whole heartedly is an exercise for the lungs, throat and mouth. It strengthens the nerves of stomach and chest. Laughter strengthens the dia- phragm and helps in the treatment of diseases related to mouth, throat and lungs. Laughter increases blood circulation and increases oxygen in blood. This process increase glow on the face. More a person laughs and makes others laugh, more the glow on face. More the absorption of oxygen in body, more the production of energy. More the energy in body, more the chances of relieving diseases. In this way, laughter is a healer and nourishing element and is known as spice of life. Attainment of spice of life through laughter: Laughter brings in changes in bio chemical compo- sition in our body. Laughter reduces the stress causing hormones like cartisol and epinephrine in the body, which relieves stress and stress relieving implies good health. Besides, laughter increases the endorphin hormone, which is a natural pain killer and builds resistance power. In other words, laughter increases the secretion of es- sential hormones in the body, which are important for our health. Hence, laughter denotes good health and is a synonym of good health. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 18 -Hetal Behan Modern science believes that snoring is a symp- tom of serious diseases. According to the doctors that it can cause heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes. Snoring also indicates towards respiratory problem. According to a research, around 25 percent males and 9 percent females less than 40 years of age are suf- fering from this problem and this figure is higher in India. Not only adults but children also are habituated to snor- ing. But the reasons for snoring in children are different. It is mainly due to tonsils as the respiratory pipe is blocked behind the tongue. Obesity is also one of the reasons for snoring among children and adults. Blockage of respiratory pipe is also one of the main reasons for snoring. It is caused when fat gets accumu- lated in throat due to overweight. The muscles shrink. Snoring can also be due to throat infection. Snoring is caused when breathe gets blocked in narrow respiratory pipes. Weak throat and jaw related problems are some of the other reasons. Respiration can be blocked in throat or nose. The nose problem can be overcome with nose strip. It opens blocked nose, which overcomes snoring. If snoring is due to throat problem then consult the doctor for treatment. Many other serious problems can be caused if this prevails for long time. Respiration is blocked completely in sleep in case of sleep apnea. This disturbs the sleep. If this persists for more than ten seconds then it should be taken seriously. Many times it happens when we sleep during daytime, which remains unknown. Harmfull Efffects: Ignoring snoring problem could lead to several dan- gerous diseases because the body does not get suffi- cient quantity of oxygen due to snoring. There is ex- tra pressure on the body and also affects the metabo- lism. It affects the surface of arteries and leads to high blood pressure, heart diseases, diabetes and other problems like strokes. Loud snoring is a very dangerous because the chances of heart attack increases when compared to those who do normal snoring. Those who do normal snoring do not have the risk of heart disease. It is said that snoring stops in men after 70 years of age. Snoring has negative effect on sexual life as well. Snoring indicates poor sleep pattern and those who do not sleep properly do not enjoy sex. Yog practice Yog can cure this problem completely. Practice Bhastrika pranayam to overcome nose related prob- lem. Practice Kapalbhati pranayam also. Nadishodhan pranayam and Ujjayi pranayam should also be practiced. Practice Ujjayi pranayam regularly for five minutes. Sitkari pranayam should also be done. Dwichakrikasana, Padvrittasana, Ardhahalsana should be practiced regularly in order to reduce weight. These asanas remove unwanted fat and overcome the disease. Pour a few drops of mustard oil in nose. This cleans the nose and does not get blocked and maintains heart beat rate. Yognidra should be practiced for 30 minutes. This re- laxes the body and helps in enjoying sound sleep. The food consumed should be free of kapha and fat. This will help in maintaining weight. Practice the above mentioned Yogasana under the supervision of a qualified Yog teacher only. According to a research, around 25 percent males and 9 percent females less than 40 years of age are suffering from this problem and this figure is higher in India. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 19 R. D. Dubey Today everybody is very alert with respect to their weight, but it is not enough only to be alert. We eat as per our choice. We are only con- cerned about taste but not about health. This is the reason that today majority of the women are suffering from weight problem. One of the rea- sons for increasing weight is improper functioning of pineal gland and thy- roid gland. Pineal gland is pea sized gland situated in the hind part of the head just below the brain. Thyroid gland is situated in the throat. Proper functioning of pineal gland ensures proper growth of all parts of the body and controls weight. Its main functions are prevention of diseases, development of reproductive organs and maintaining the health of the nerves. Proper functioning of thyroid gland ensures equilibrium in chemi- cal processes. It increases digestive juices. It increases height along with sexual potency. It improves digestive fire and controls fat accumulated in the body. Overweight is also due to heredi- tary reasons. If the parents are over- weight, the children also become overweight. Functioning of glands is one of the reasons. Besides, tendency to overeat, liking for sweets, lethar- gic nature, lack of exercise, exces- sive sleeping, lack of physical labor etc. are also some of the reasons for overweight. The blood is produced in less quantity in obese people and excess fat gets accumulated in the body. This obstructs blood circulation and re- duces body flexibility. The respiration becomes fats, and the lungs are not fully active. The blood becomes im- pure and excess fat also obstructs the nervous system. Obese people also have low intelligence. Three things are necessary in order to reduce weight, they are diet restrictions, Yogasana and body massage. Yogic exercises Regular practice of Yogasana is a good remedy. Yogasana and exercise are beneficial in reducing weight. Yogic exercises activate the glands; this prevents accumulation of fat in the body and burn slowly. Simple exercises Brisk morning walk, breathing from nose (after closing mouth), light jogging are included in light exercises. This can be practiced by people of all ages and reap the ben- efits. Include revered Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj’s yogic jog- ging in your daily rou- tine. Yogasana: Prac- tice Surya Namaskar, Kamarchakrasana, Vajrasana, Ushtrasana, Shalabhasana, Naukasana, Sarpasana, Makarasana, H a s t a p a d d o t a s a n a , Pavanmuktasana. Add Halasana and Sarvangasana after few days. Both these asanas improve the function- ing of pineal and thyroid glands. Massage: Massage the whole body with water using small towel daily while taking bath for 10-15 min- utes. Massage the areas with wet towel which have excess fat. Dip the towel in lukewarm water and mas- sage the body during winters. Use cold water during summers. Take bath after massage. This has two advan- tages – it removes dirt from the body and balances blood circulation. Dry massage should be done dur- ing evening. Massage the fatty area. Lie down on a mat on stomach. Ask another person to give gentle taps on the whole body. Light punches are also beneficial. Press the flesh and rub it. Fat starts reducing and burn- ing with water and dry massage. Dip feet in hot water and take sauna bath twice a week. This causes perspiration and reduces weight. Rub the body nicely and take bath imme- diately. Diet: Regular exercise, massage and sauna bath reduces fat. This reduces appetite also. Fat becomes your diet and starts eating itself. It means the fat is consumed in the body. Balanced diet along with this helps in control- ling weight. Eat raw vegetables, vegetable juices like spinach, carrot, gourd, and cucumber, round gourd etc., fruits and fruit juices like orange, sweet lime etc., vegetable soups for benefit. Eat one or two chapattis made with vegetable mixed flour and skimmed milk boiled with small car- damom and ginger. Take lemon juice twice or thrice daily. Take lukewarm lemon juice mixed with honey during winter sea- son. Take diet in consultation with a qualified Yog teacher or doctor. Vajrasana Pavanmuktasana ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 20 Dr. Vipul Bhatt Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar Small ailments keep on occurring in our body. We take medicines in case of some diseases but we neglect some diseases. It is true that medicines give relief but if we do not pay attention on eating habits and follow diet pattern then these diseases spread inside the body. The body organs be- come weak and they become incapable of re- moving physical disorders. As a result, the disease becomes incurable with growing age. The nervous sys- tem becomes inactive. The disease becomes incurable over a period of time. In such condition, the medicines do not have any impact on the health of the patient. Only yogic exercises and natural cure give relief to the pa- tient. If life energy is present in the body organs of the patient, he has some capacity to work then Yog can defi- nitely give health benefit to the patient. Chronic Colitis: In this case, there is swelling in the phlegmatic mem- brane of the large intestine. The disease spreads to the lower part of large intestine if neglected in initial stages. As a result, wounds are formed internally in many cases. Blood and mucous come out with faecal matter. This is a serious condition. Why does it happen? It is disease of the digestive system and hence unsys- tematic eating habit is the main reason. The food that we eat should contain sufficient amount of vitamins, proteins and fat. If protein and fat continues to be high in the food then the intestine has to work hard in order to digest that food. This weakens the digestive system. As a result, the patient complains of either constipation or frequent loose motions. Excessive intake of medicines causes swelling in the large intestine. According to some doctors, this disease is caused due to a special type of virus. It is known as Manolia Silosis. The symptoms of this disease are: Blood along with mucous coming out from rectum, burning sensation in anus, deterioration in patient’s health. Symptoms like stress, restlessness, lethargy are seen in the patient. According to Yog experts, the one and only one treat- ment for this disease is Yog and proper diet. The patient should also have patience and will power. Patient should be given buttermilk or honey mixed enema. Boil pome- granate skin and give this enema to patient for relief. Take two to three grams of pomegranate skin pow- der twice daily with fresh water for relief. Give hot fomentation on stomach for five minutes, place cold bandage on the stomach whole night. Remove the ban- dage the next morning. Continue hot and cold fomentation. Sunbath is beneficial. Massage the whole body except the stomach. Give light massage on the stomach in the meanwhile. Yog treatment: Yognidra is a sure shot in this dis- ease. Fill three-fourth of a green colored glass bottle with water. Keep the bottle under sun. Give this water to the patient the next day. This reduces swelling of the intes- tine. Regular practice of Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, Makarasana, Pavanmuktasana, Kapalbhati, Agnisar, Paschimottasana, Hastapadottasana are beneficial. Diet and regimen: Keep three days fast. Use water from green colored bottle and boiled water kept in bronze container for drinking. Drink sufficient amount of coconut water. Vegetable soup, pomegranate, apple and wood apple juice should be taken for a few days. Diluted curd, ripe banana, and wood apple powder, thin cottage cheese is also beneficial. Eat kichdi with curd for a few days. Drink buttermilk. Eat vegetable made with raw banana. Curd set with soybean milk is especially beneficial. Restrictions: Avoid consumption of biscuits, food items made with refined flour, coffee, and tea. Avoid ciga- rette, alcohol, spices, cold drinks, cakes, sugar and chut- neys. Note: Practice only those exercises that are suitable to your body. Take ten gram of Isabgol dust with cold water. Alternately, soak it in water overnight. Take it on empty stomach the next morning. Use this remedy regularly for few days to overcome burning sensation and swelling. Take equal quantities of Isabgol and Triphala churna (around three to five gram) with hot water at bedtime to reduce swelling of the intestine. It clears the stom- ach and overcomes all the problems of intestine and pitta related problems. It is a very effective and harm- less remedy. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 21 -Dinanath Jhunjhunwala Mind and body cannot be separated. Mind re- sides in the body. If body becomes diseased then mind also becomes diseased. If body is healthy but mind is not healthy then body has no use. This condition is seen only in case of unconsciousness, when body is alive and heart beat also continues. But it is useless. The body is like a dead body. Therefore, body is important only if mind is working. If body loses its existence, mind will also become inexistent. Therefore our classics have rightly said that man is existing only because of mind, the reason is the relation of mind and salvation. For instance, the lock opens and closes with the same key. Our learned people also say that both mind and body are one. Our body is the bigger form of our mind and our mind is the minute form of our body. Our body has different requirements; similarly our mind also has dif- ferent requirements. Our body also functions as per our mind. Our eyes see a particular thing but our mind is somewhere else, then it should be understood that the eyes are not able to see clearly. Similarly, we are hearing something but mind is not with it. So in one way, it has been unheard in spite of being heard. Therefore, every work performed by a sensory or- gan should be accompanied with the mind; else the work of sensory organs remains incomplete. Now we will know about the body requirements. The body needs food, clothes and a house to live. The body needs different things in order to keep it ac- tive and healthy. Wealth, education, abilities, occupa- tion, business, farming etc. are required in order to keep the body active. Our body requires not one but thou- sands of such requirements in order to keep it active and useful. In the same way, morning walk, Yog prac- tice, proper eating habits are required in order to keep it healthy. There are two important factors with respect to con- trolled eating habits, one is to eat less than requirement so that the food is easily digested and unwanted things like betel leaf, pan masala, cigarette, alcohol, arcanut, and other drugs are restricted. The fourth requirement of the body is positive thinking. This means, not to think bad about others, not to indulge in wrong actions and be cheerful in mind. These actions, positive thinking and cheerfulness are related to mind but mind does not see. The thoughts in our mind are seen through the medium of body only. We can misuse our body also, for instance indulging in wrong activities like stealing, dacoity, begging etc. in other words, use and misuse of anything depends on our mental tendency. Therefore, mind manages our ac- tions. The bodily actions are dependent on mental ten- dencies. We have analyzed the methods to keep the body healthy but now we have to think about keeping the mind also healthy so that positive thoughts develop in the mind and negative thoughts are removed. Mind should be involved in reading good literature and reli- gious texts. Habit of listening to good stories should be developed along with the habit of living in good com- pany. It has been said, ´==n¬r ªrrr-n¢rr +r¤f-a' it means good and bad thoughts develop depending on the good and bad company. We are aware of physical diseases, for instance cold, fever, diarrhea, diabetes, blood pressure, cancer etc. in the same way mental diseases are lust, anger, greed, attachment, jealousy, hatred love etc. physical diseases are cured in hospitals through allopathy, Ayurved, ho- meopathy etc. But, mental diseases can be overcome with good company, reading good literature, fulfilling duties and responsibilities. The principle of three mon- keys of Gandhiji should be followed – do not see bad, do not listen bad, do not speak bad. All these actions will keep away mental diseases. One more important thing to be remembered in this re- gard is that, the theologists, saints, great personalities, scientists, politician, businessmen, entrepreneurs, kings, poppers, poor, rich also have the same mind and body. But, there is lot of difference between two individuals that is unimaginable. On one side there is a king, on the other side there is a popper. On one side there is a sage and an ascetic and on the other side there is a lustful person. On one side there is a dutiful person and on the other side there is a lazy and inefficient person. We have also seen that a person born in a king’s family can become a popper and vice versa. Why does it happen? The reason is that people have started be- lieving in fate. They are not aware that one can change ones fate with good deeds. Fate is also the result of our deeds. Fate is the result of that action which we did not get. The reason being that we are independent in doing our work but dependent on getting results. All the ener- gies of the existence accumulate together and give re- sults on the basis of our actions. It is the energies of the ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 22 existence that decide as to when we will get the result of a particular work, how much, in which form. Therefore, we are dependent on getting our results. It means, king and popper, rich and poor have got the same mind and body but the result of work will depend on the way the mind and body have been utilized. Good results will be obtained if good use has been made, bad results will be obtained if bad use has been made. When we do wrong deeds we spoil our own wealth and health. God has given us healthy and beautiful body, which we turn into ugly and diseased body due to our deeds. Our body and mind become polluted due to unhealthy thoughts and bad company. If we want to lead a healthy and happy life and at- tain spiritual progress then it is necessary to have proper knowledge of mental science. Majority of the physical diseases are generated from mind. This should always be remembered. A true ascetic might be living without food, house but he is always happy and strong. The reason is that he possesses internal strength. On the other hand, a lustful person has lot of wealth, house and all the things of comfort. But he is sad and diseased. The reason is that he did not use his mind and body properly. Our daily routine should be balanced. Exces- sive physical labor and mental stress should be avoided. Excess of anything is bad, it means the body should not be habituated to too much comforts or too much labor. Our energy is lost due to worries. We feel sad about past, attached towards the present and afraid of future. We become worried due to the fear of future. Fear is imaginative, for example, if the child does not come back from school on time, we start worrying about some mishappening. When the child comes back, this worry is overcome but some other worry starts. Majority of the worries are imaginative. The worries make the body hollow just like the wood that becomes hollow due to termite. Worries make us diseased; diseases like blood pressure and diabetes are due to worries. We have to change our worries into thinking. Worry is also a men- tal disease but it becomes a physical disease. There- fore it should be avoided. Mind and body are related hence any physical problem has impact on mind. Simi- larly any mental problem has an impact on body. If we are sad, we do not feel hungry, we will feel weakness, body will become inactive, we lose concentration and dedication in work. In the same way, if there is pain in any part of the body then we are unable to think and focus. Therefore, a healthy person is one who has healthy body and mind. The mind should be free of nega- tive thoughts and body should be free of diseases. Psychologists believe that the reason for diseases is more of mental problems than physical problem. They believe that emotions like anger, hatred, lust, revenge lead to accumulation of poison in blood that result in different diseases. If there is any negative feeling in mind, like fear, sorrow then it has impact on cells through the nerves. The cells become weak and working ca- pacity reduces. Very few people realize that feelings like hatred, jealousy, anger, impatience cause more harm to self than to others. The amount of energy spent in ten minutes of anger is more than the energy spent for ploughing in the field for two days. Premature graying of hair is seen due to insensitiveness, impatience and worry. What is mind after all? It is a secretive minute strength. It is the expression of internal strength. It is a group of lustful thoughts and imaginations. It gives birth to this world and destroys it. It is made of three quali- ties – piousness, passion and anger. When pious nature is dominant then we experience good health and peace of mind. When passion is dominant then we experience wavering mind, confusion and restlessness. When an- ger is dominant in our nature then we experience leth- argy. It should be remembered that lethargy is the grave in which all the good qualities are buried. It is neces- sary to live in the company of good people in order to purify the mind. It is necessary to develop calmness, faith, truth, love, sympathy, courage, respect, happiness, self confidence within us. Only then we can attain hap- piness, peace of mind and harmony. Mind will also be completely health and a healthy mind will keep the body healthy. rt rr¬ n ªrar ¤r ¬r rr¤t nªra rì sª¤ rrt =rfrr¤r ¤t rr¬t ¤t=ra rì rt rr¬ n............................ì r ¤rª f¬-r ªrar rt tra fn¬ sª¤rì f¤ª nrn =rfrr¤r ¤t, =rnra fn¬ sª¤rìì ==r ¤r¤t +rt ==r n, ªrt nª +rtnra rì sª¤ rrt =rfrr¤r ¤t..................ìì º¤rªr n rr¤t ¤t¬, ºrrz, n =¤t ¤t¬ì f¤·t sª¤t trna ¤r ªrnª n +rt ¬t¬ìì ¤ ¤ra ¬r nrª, ¤r rt ==r ¤ra rì sª¤ rrt =rfrr¤r ¤t.....................ìì rt ==r ªª ¤r¬ ªrar ¤r ª +r¸¬ì =-=z =rfrr¤r ¤ =¸¬ n ¤r =¸¬ìì =rªrr r ¬r ¤ªr ¤r ;= nª n ¤=ra rì sª¤ rrt =rfrr¤r ¤t.......................ìì Synopsis The poet says that one who thanks god in every situation enjoys happiness all the time. Those who remember god every night, they get all kinds of happiness and they re- member to thank him in good times also. The poet says that one should be content in heart and thank him for ev- erything, those who remember this always remain happy. One should not forget the god who gives us everything; one should live in good company and develop the ideals of Vedas in mind. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 23 - Dr. Nagendra Kumar Niraj Sky means emptiness or space. Space element has the most important place in the creation of human life. Both, mind and body require this element. Keep fast to include space element in the body. Include this element in the mind through maintaining silence and meditation. Fasting is the main treatment method under natural therapy. Normally, the nature therapist makes the patient keep fast for two to five days. Long dura- tion fasting are prescribed in case of very serious dis- eases and a new life is given. Fasting can be done in many ways, namely, fast- ing done only by drinking water, lemon water mixed with honey, fruits, juices etc. This helps in curing the disease from root. Fasting was the main reason for the long life, good health of sages who found out Ayurved and lived in forest. Many wonderful researches have been conducted on the theme of fasting and it is a con- tinuous affair. The research is as follows: 1. The processes of digestion, catabolism, anabolism and excretion are on-going in our body. During fast- ing period, digestion and catabolism have minimum strength. Their entire energy is consumed in the build- ing and removing foreign particles from the body. 2. Auto healing system, auto repairing system, auto treatment system and auto monitoring system get aroused automatically and the body mechanism moves towards health building direction. 3. The proteins, fasts, carbohydrates accumulated in the body during fasting period are used in providing nourishment to the body. Weakness during this pe- riod is generally a psychological factor. Take suffi- cient rest during fasting period so that the body be- comes disease free. 4. One can notice miracles during fasting period. Cal- cium and iron mix fast and red blood cells and he- moglobin increase in the body. The bones are strengthened. The increased white blood cells, ESR, urea, uric acid, cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides be- come normal. 5. Insulin resistance exercise resistance and other health negative resistance process is removed during fast- ing period. 6. The pus cells ketone bodies increase in urine during fasting period. This is temporary in nature and is overcome as the person starts regaining health. 7. The metabolism is controlled, regulated and system- atized during fasting period. 8. The incomplete and imbalanced oxygen atoms that are formed during oxidation of fat, for example, paraoxide fat, oxygen radical, superoxide, hydrogen paraoxide, hydrochloric, acid, hydroxyl radical. All these poisonous free radicals and oxygen radicals cause infection inside and outside the cells and de- stroy their membrane, enzymes, proteins, DNA etc. This leads to ageing and age related diseases. These problems can be tackled through fasting, intake of low calorie food, balanced diet, fruit diet, juice diet etc. 9. The creatures with long life develop some special types of energy giving enzymes like super oxide dismutase (SOD), gluthiole and other catalyst en- zymes and anti oxidants. These anti oxidants and enzymes provide protection against diabetes, gout, joint pain, cataract, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and progressive degenera- tive diseases. These health protecting enzymes are conserved during fasting period and degeneration starts converting into regeneration. 10.The main factor for long life is low BMR. During fasting period and juice diet period, the BMR starts reducing and thereby the low production of free radi- cals. 11.The cancer causing pronioplastic cells get destroyed or controlled during fasting period. It also reduces and controls the cell degeneration rate. 12.The blood sugar level gets controlled during fasting period and thereby reduces the cross linking pro- cess. The glucose level increases in blood, the pro- tein molecules get stuck with each other and form a net like thing inside the cell due to the presence of glucose. This is cross linking. This reduces the effi- ciency of heart and lungs. The arteries become stiff and eye lenses become blurred. Fasting controls cross linking and increases the efficiency of all the organs. 13.During fasting, energy is obtained from glycogen accumulated in muscles and liver and adipose tis- ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 24 sues of cholesterol. The enzyme mechanism is strengthened and becomes healthy. 14.All the organs of digestive system, namely, liver, stom- ach, colon, pancreas, spleen, small and large intes- tine get complete rest. Their efficiency and active- ness increases. The fluids present in the organs are absorbed and their efficiency increases. 15.The structural reformation of cell membrane of in- testines changes in such a way that it provides more and more energy depending on the requirement. 16.The body gets nervous, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual rest during fasting period. 17.A fasting of two to five days is done with self con- trol. Drink lot of water during fasting and take lemon water with honey in case of weakness. Take only fruits and juices for a few days. 18.Break the fast with sweet lime juice only. If sweet lime is not available then it can be substituted with carrot juice, soups, and lentil soup or butter milk. Take liquids at an interval of three years. Take solid food slowly. Take boiled vegetables for a few days and eat chapatti or coarse meal. Come back to nor- mal diet after two times the fasting period. For ex- ample, if fasting was done for one week, start nor- mal diet after two weeks. 19.It is said that even plain chapatti tastes like nectar incase of hunger. This is normal hunger but feeling hungry on seeing food or listening about food is false hunger. For instance, some people lose hunger on hearing that gourd vegetable has been cooked or hunger increases on hearing that green peas and cottage cheese vegetable has been cooked. Normal hunger during fasting period brings back health. 20.Fasting is prohibited during pregnancy, extreme weakness, tuberculosis, stomach and intestinal ul- cers and other serious cases. 21.Do long duration fasting under the guidance of a doctor because the patient may panic due to healing crisis caused during fasting period, however healing crisis is good and healthy. 22.The digestive fire digests the food, and loses foreign particles during fasting. When the foreign particles are removed, the body becomes active and strong. In this situation, the fasting should be stopped other- wise the fire loses seven humors and leads to star- vation. The end result is death, whereas the end re- sult of fasting is good healthy life. Silence therapy – space element: The patient can obtain space element by keeping silence. Lot of energy is consumed when we speak. During silence, the same energy is used for overcom- ing diseases, conservation of health and building it. Smile and silence is not related to any religion or language, but it is the language of heart, heart is the abode of love and soul. Therefore it is the language of love and soul; we do not have to learn it. Silence is the voice of nature and god; it associates with itself and creates health and completeness in life. Silence is present within, language is outside. Si- lence does not mean only to stop speaking, but it is erasing the mind present behind voice. Silence means the inex- istence of mind. Silence is like becoming non existent. Silence is the language of entity. Silence is the abode of soul. It is the voice less music of inner self, which be- comes available when the mind exits. It is a speechless, unending, happy, immortal, permanent, limitless, ever new brightness of soul that has no light. It can be seen only with inner eyes. Practice the following for silence. 1. Sit in the beautiful environment of Yog Gram near a tree, plant, stream, lake, river and listen only to their noise. Feel their music and beats. Do not give any reaction. Just listen and develop the habit of listen- ing noise less music. 2. Sit in a forest, garden or park and listen only to the voice of birds, or whatever noises are heard in that place. Do not select good or bad noise; just enter into the world of silence. 3. Do not react whenever there is loud noise, just listen and you will feel that noise is also like music. Silence enters the noise also. 4. Look at the blue sky and just keep on watching. Keep the mind free from vows, desires, alternatives, thoughts, ambitions, and imaginations. Do not give any voice to experience and feelings, just watch, you will slowly enter silence. Silence has relaxing aware- ness, inexplicable equality, calmness and beauty. Deep silence is complete concentration and empti- ness. That unending emptiness enters into the sky. Our internal nature is silence which is within. This is health, which is situated within. Silence has got lost in the crowd of external world, it has got hidden. This experiment arouses it and is the first and last step of self examination. Silence increases positive energy and reduces the stress hormones. It controls heart beat and regulates it. It provides peace, rest and relaxation to the heart. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 25 Spondalitis: Many times the vertebrae develop gap or be- come deshaped or even shift from their places. This change in body is known as spondalitis. It affects the neck and spi- nal cord of the patient. The patient suf- fers a lot and experiences pain. In this case, the patient has burning sensation, swelling and pain in ligaments and joints. Different types of Spondalitis: (1) Cervical Spondalitis (2) Slip Disc (3) Sciatica (4) Lumbar Spondalitis Cervical Spondalitis is the most common among these problems. Cervical Spondalitis: This problem is common among men when compared to women. In the initial stages, the patient complains of pain in spine, which gradu- ally spreads to joints. The shoulder and neck is affected. In case of Cervical Spondalitis, the cells become infected, which causes swelling in joints of spine. There is unnecessary pressure on nerves and veins, and the patient faces difficulty in making small movements. When the disease aggravates, the symptoms of paralysis of hands and legs are also seen. The neck muscles become weak and degenerate. Symptoms: The patient complains of headache, stiffness in neck, shoulders and hands along with pain. The patient then starts complaining of fever, fatigue, weakness and numbness. The patient experiences pain in moving neck and head. The patient also finds it difficult in completing daily routine activities -Vaidya Avinash Shrivastava Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar This problem is common among men when compared to women. In the initial stages, the patient complains of pain in spine, which gradually spreads to joints. The shoulder and neck is affected. In case of Cervical Spondalitis, the cells become infected, which causes swell- ing in joints of spine. There is unnecessary pressure on nerves and veins, and the patient faces difficulty in making small movements. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 26 as well. Eyes diseases, respiratory diseases and shivering problems are seen when disease aggravates and the patient also faces difficulty in swallowing food. The patient develops heart and lung diseases. There is pain in fingers and numbness in hands. The patient gets giddiness with slightest movement of neck. The patient complains of pain while lifting anything. When the patient gets up from bed, he or she suf- fers from giddiness. Reasons: This disease is caused due to lifting weights. Sedentary work at office, bending the neck forward while working on desk, the people fall into the grip of cervical spondalitis due to these reasons. Women doing house hold work like sweeping, mop- ping, washing clothes and utensils develop this prob- lem. It can be hereditary also. Using fat pillow or sleeping in wrong postures is the reasons for this problem. The bones start degenerating with increasing age and become weak. This is the reason that elderly people suffer from this problem more than young people. Obesity is also one of the main reasons for Cervical Spondalitis. It can be also caused due to some kind of infection. Stress is also one of the reasons for spondalitis. Travelling long distances in bus, car, and aeroplane can also lead to spondalitis. Sudden jerks in neck or catching cold can cause Spondalitis. Treatment with herbs and medicinal plants: Extract Gwarpatha pulp and knead it in flour. Mix this mixture in clarified butter and roll them flat. Fry and make a powder. Eat this for relief. Follow this for few days to overcome the problem. Eat drum sticks and drink drum stick root quath for relieving Cervical Spondalitis. Make quath with Nirgundi leaves, Harsingar leaves and Shatavari and Asagandha root. Drink it twice daily for relief. Halva made with drum stick gum is also beneficial. The patient should eat 10-11 garlic pods daily with food for relief. Yogic treatment: The patient should practice Yogasana and other light exercises after getting relieved from neck and back ache. Self tested medicines: Mix 10 gm each of Divya Ekadgaveer, Divya Praval Pishti, one gram Divya Brihad Vata chintamani, five gram Divya Swarnamakshik Bhasma. Make 60 pouches with this mixture. Take one dose one hour before breakfast and lunch with honey or hot water to cure cervical Spondalitis. Mix 60 gm each of Divya Trayodashadoog Guggul, Divya Chandraprabhavati and 40 gm of Divya Pidantak rasa. Take one tablet of each thrice daily after meals with hot water or milk. The patient should not consume curd, buttermilk, dry mango powder, cauliflower, and horse bean during this treatment. Diet: Patient should eat boiled vegetables, fenugreek, drum sticks. Fruits like pear, orange, apple, sweet lime, mango, banana, cheekoo, and guava are beneficial. Precautions: Avoid constipation. Practice right postures for sleeping and sitting. Do not use very hard or soft bed. Do not sleep on stomach and always sleep sideways. Use both the hands for doing any work. Walk straight. This prevents unnecessary pressure on body parts. Do not sit on stool for long time. Always use a proper chair with backrest. Keep the legs on footrest when- ever you sit on a chair. This keeps the knee joints above the hip joints. Keep the back straight and sit on knees for lifting heavy weights. Pregnant women should avoid bending forward and lifting weight. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 27 Pt. Sandeep Atreya Religious, inspiring and encouraging message of Shrimadbhagvadgita ´´sqt ªr-nªr-nrªr ªr-nrªn¤=rª¤ a¸ ì =r-n ¤ or-nªr ¤-¤ tr-n ¤ ft¤ tr-nª.ìì It means, man should make efforts to uplift himself and ensure that his soul does not take downward trend. The soul that moves upwards is our friend and that which moves downwards is our enemy. God explains this in a very simple manner, “ You are king, you are emperor, you are lion, you are Brahma, and you have forgotten your original form. Recognize self within yourself. Nobody will come to uplift you in your life, you have to uplift yourself. Take a resolu- tion, today itself, now, the objective of your life is attain- ment of happiness. Collect your energy with self control, arouse the dormant energies lying within you. This energy is within your body but it is dormant, arouse it, then it is possible to see god. Arousal of dormant energy is known as arousal of Kundalini. This energy is lying dormant like a snake in the Mooladhar Chakra or root chakra. It is situ- ated between reproductive organ and rectum. It has four plexus. Its sage is Kashyap. Bravery and happiness reside in this chakra. Swadishthan Chakra or Sacral Chakra: it is situated at the ovaries and prostrate area. It has six petals and its sage is Atri. Arousal of this chakra overcomes lethargy, ego, disbelief, ignorance, foolishness. Third chakra is Manipur chakra or Solar Plexus. It is situated at the navel area. It is positioned at the solar plexus and it has ten petals arousal of this chakra removes thirst, jealousy, treachery, shame, fear, disgust, delusion, foolish- ness and sadness. It overcomes seminal problems. It brings natural glow on the face along with brightness. The fourth chakra is the Anahat chakra or heart chakra which is situated in the heart area. It has 12 petals and its sage is Bharadwaj, arousal of this chakra removes wor- ries, attachment, dullness and other bad qualities. The fifth chakra is Vishudhchakra or throat chakra which is in throat area. It has 16 petals and its sage is Jamadagni, It controls speech and respiration. Sixth chakra is Agyachakra or third eye chakra and is situated at the third eye position or pineal gland. Om is positioned here and its sage is Vishwamitra. Arousal of this chakra awakens all the energies of the body. a devo- tee with awakened Agya chakra is able to lead everybody. His predictions come true and the journey of happiness begins from here. This is the main gate to reach till Sahasrar chakra or the Crown chakra. A person with awakened Agya chakra has brightness, self confidence and desire to reach great heights. He is extremely fearless. It is necessary to take simple food in order to awaken kundalini energy. The thoughts should be pure, behavior should be clean, and thinking should be pious. Sit on a clean mat and practice Omkar, nadishodhan, Bhastrika pranayam. Sit in meditative pose, remove all thoughts from mind and chant the mantras with full concentration. The mind will waver many times, colorful scenes will appear in front of your eyes, and fearful scenes will also appear in front of the eyes. But do not be afraid or disappointed. Awakening of kundalini is not one day’s job, it requires rigorous practice. But the day on which it will awake, be- fore that you will hear a divine sound and see a bright light and you will realize the truth. The body will feel light, waves of happiness will fill in the whole body and you will experi- ence ultimate happiness. The most important thing this entire process should be done under the supervision and guid- ance of a knowledgeable person. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 28 -Jaishankar Mishra ‘Savyasachi’ India is a world mentor from spiritual point of view. The Indian land is fertile due to the piousness of our sages and seers and their devotion. There has been an ancient tradition of spiritual relations of saints and devo- tees in India. With the objective of relieving pain and illnesses of the entire world, Divya Yog Mandir Trust was estab- lished in 1995, Patanjali Yogpeeth’s foundation was laid in 2004 and inaugurated in 2006, Bharat Swabhiman Trust was established in 2009 and Patanjali Yogpeeeth’s second phase was inaugurated in 2009 with the inspira- tion of Yogrishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj. Revered Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj has used Yog as a weapon against diseases and is fighting a health revolution at international level. Millions of people have become disease free and their lives have been filled with new vitality. Swami Ji has taken the vow to pro- vide good health to entire mankind through Yog and Ayurved. Millions of Yog teachers are conducting class’s right from cities to villages to fulfill this objective. This created awareness among the people. Patanjali Yogpeeth has now moved out of Indian boundaries and organized several Yog camps with the slogan of practice Yog and remain disease free. Swami Ji believes that India is his home and the whole world is his family. Swami Ji was addressed as the most popular personality of the century and honored in UK. Several people left liquor and meat and adopted Yog as their daily routine. People from Germany, Italy, France and other countries came to visit Swami Ji in London and changed their life style with Yog. The people of western countries are facing health problems due to unsystematic eating habits. They are becoming victims of different diseases. They have be- come aware towards health through Yog and pranayam. Swami Ji is gaining lot of fame in foreign countries and he also fulfilling his mission of making the world dis- ease free. Propagation of Yog and Ayurved, scientific approach of Yog, spreading of Indian culture, Vedas and Upanishads has taken an international level with the establishment of first international Patanjali Yogpeeth at Ireland of Little Camboury in Scotland, Patanjali Yog foundation (Trust) in Canada, Patanjali Yog foundation (Trust) in USA, Patanjali Yogpeeth trust in Kathmandu, Nepal. The entire credit goes to Yogrishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj. These days we see a continuous fight between material and spiritual thoughts. We have found scientific basis for the fight going on between Yog and science. Science means finding truth, opening the inner eyes of human beings, open hearts and this is the objective of Yog. Science is incomplete without Yog. In the present age, only those principles of Yog can withstand which have been proved with scientific ap- proach. Science that is included in these principles has so much strength that they can strengthen the life. Yog is the ultimate truth, it also has science. It has direct impact on human body. This is the reason that pranayam is curing patients suffering with incurable dis- eases. Swami Ji has said long back that yogic actions are scientific and today it has been proved. India has been world mentor from spiritual point of view. How- ever, the image that it is holding today is not of world mentor due to various ups and downs. At such a time, swami Ji is trying to reestablish Yog, Ayurved and In- dian ancient culture. Swami Ji is uniting the divided In- dia in one string for establishing harmonious society in the nation and world. He aims to remove the narrow mindedness caused due to caste, religion, colour, com- munity, language by strengthening national integrity and communal harmony. Millions of people living in villages, cities and states are reaping the benefits of health through Yog and Ayurved. People belonging to every region, language, class, community, religion are attending the Yog camps. Swami Ji is doing the work of widening the sage tradition and Indian culture on continuous basis. Swami Ji wants to reestablish Yog, Ayurved and Indian pride, natural therapy and Indian culture at international level. He wants to give back the status of world mentor to India.

Their health problems should be cured naturally, which protects them from health risks. Natural cure not only cures diseases but children also remain fit internally. Lisping and stammering: Children should chew one green myrobalan daily to overcome lisping and stammering. It makes the tongue thin and the voice becomes clear. It also re- duces heat in mouth. Rub almond and seven black pepper seeds in water and make a paste. Add a little bit of powdered sugar candy and lick it. Give it to the child on empty stom- ach in the morning for a few days. If stammering is not overcome in spite of speaking clearly and with strength, keep two black pepper seeds in the child’s mouth and ask the child to suck its juice. This remedy should be followed twice daily for long duration. Grind 500 gm aniseeds and boil in 300 gm water till it reduces to 100 gm. Add 50 gm sugar candy and 250 gm cow milk. Give to the child daily at bedtime depending on their physical strength. This overcomes stammering within a few days. Whooping cough: Mix two grains of roasted alum and equal quantity of sugar. Give it to the child twice daily. This rem- edy cures whooping cough within five days. The adults should take double dose. If the child is unable to take the medicine without water then give it one or two gulps of hot water after the medicine. Whoop- ing cough is generally seen among children. If child is unable to digest milk: Many children are unable to digest milk. This prob- lem is seen among children with poor digestion ca- pacity. Put one or two gm of small Pippali and two Modana in 200 gm milk at the time of boiling. Pippali removes the impurities present in milk and makes it easily digestible. It improves the condition of spleen in children. A mother with hot temper should not give her breast milk to the child. Breastfeeding with angry feeling is harmful for the child. If mother drinks glassful water before breastfeeding then the child is able to digest the milk easily. The child does not suffer from vomiting and loose mo- tions. Put half spoonful aniseed in one cup of milk and boil. The milk becomes light and easily digestible. This milk is beneficial for the child’s health. Soak spoonful aniseed in water at night and crush it nicely the next morning. Sieve it and mix this water in milk. Give it to the child to overcome swelling of stomach and gastric trouble. Mix the powder of one small cardamom in milk and boil it. This makes the milk tasty and light. Children relish this milk and the milk digests easily. If the elderly person is unable to digest milk then it is advisable to drink fresh water with lemon juice or lemon juice made with salt to overcome this prob- lem. Bedwetting If the child is suffering from bedwetting problem then give one walnut, five gm raisins daily in the morning. This overcomes the problem within one week to ten days. Give spoonful honey to children above three years of age and two spoonfuls to children above six years of age with half cup water at bedtime for a fort- night. This overcomes the problem of bedwetting. Children develop are able to control urination and leave the habit of bedwetting. Breakfast to make children disease free: Wipe one big Kabli or big Harad with wet cloth and grind it on clean stone with one or two spoons of water. Rub the Harad in such a way that only its skin is rubber. Do not let the seed get rubbed. Give one or two spoons of this Harad water to the child on empty stomach. Give spoonful fresh water to the child over this medicine. If the child is suffering from cold and catarrh then heat a bowl slightly and mix Harad water in it to make the water lukewarm. This medicine makes the child healthy and strong. Harad is believed to be equal to mother. It over- comes several health problems in children and strengthens the bones and their disorders. If child is suffering from green-yellow loose motions due to cold then rub Harad in water and then two or three Jaiphal. Give this water to the child to control loose motions and cure cold. In case of belches or stomachache, rub Harad along with four Thymol seeds in water and give to the child. If the child passes stools with great difficulty then give it Harad water for painless bowel movement. This increases the resistance power in children. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 30 Pt. Bhawani Prasad Spring season is extremely enchanting. The mus- tard crops are ripe and the whole area looks like a yellow coloured carpet spread in the fields. Gardens are full of marigold and Guldawoodi flowers, these yellow and golden colour flowers have made the whole atmosphere enchanting. Children are wearing yellow coloured clothes in the cities and villages. Cold, light and soothing wind is blowing everywhere. Different types of flowers bloom in this season which forces the wind to move slowly due to their fragrance. One can see only flowers on all the sides in this season. Whichever direction you see, you can find only color- ful flowers. Rose blossoms in some places and sun- flower in some other places. One can see jasmine at some places and lotus at other places. The flowers on mango trees also start appearing and the honey bees buzz near them. The voice of cuckoo bird is mesmer- izing and increases the natural beauty. The mango flow- ers have wonderful fragrance which pulls the mind towards it. According to the principle of Ayurveda, the new juice in the vegetable, trees moves upwards in this season. New blood is formed in the bodies of the human beings, which fills new zeal and enthusi- asm. Spring season begins in the Hindu months of Chaitra and Vaishakha. ´n¤nr¤¤r ¤=-a. t¤ra¸' this phrase is like its nurturer, but the festival of the nature begins 40 days before this season. The nature itself is en- grossed in welcoming this season then how can the man made with the five elements of the nature be aloof from it? Indians have been admirers of natural beauty since ancient times. How can they not express their happiness on this enchanting natural beauty? People celebrate the festival of Basant Panchami to enjoy this season. This season is very wonderful and mesmerizing that the whole atmosphere is filled with fun and frolic. The surroundings are filled with the voice of cuckoo birds and other birds. All the creatures appear to be danc- ing in the tune of the nature’s beauty, be it birds, ani- mals or human beings. New waves of zeal appear in the hearts. The farmers work laboriously throughout the year for this day and harvest the fields. The ripe fields of paddy and barley and the greenery around their eyes fill their hearts with happiness. All the works of farm- ing end in this season and it is the time to celebrate with dance and music. Basant Panchami marks the beginning of this celebration. Festivals were organized during this period in olden days. Sanskrit writers know that Indians have always celebrated in poetic environ- ment and poem has always played an important part in their lives. This is the reason that there is hardly any emotion that has not been visualized by Indian poets. Let us remember the great personalities who had strong character and let us not allow lustful thoughts come into our mind. Let us enjoy the spring season with pure mind and sing in the praise of that supreme soul. Let us celebrate the festival with pure minds. Music is very important in this festival, but nowadays people love romantic songs. There is no other thing better than music for mind and soul. Good and pure music helps in the upward movement of soul. 20 January: Basant Panchami ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 31 When multinational companies enter into a country with the purpose of doing business then they become a headache for that country. It is not that the multinational companies have only economic ill-effects on the country but they also have several deep and wide spread effects. The reason is the character of these compa- nies. They directly make political interference in order to get the policies changed. The social life also gets into their trap. When these companies start their business activities in other countries then some misconceptions work in the background. For example, multinational companies will bring in capital into the country, provide modern technology, generate employment opportunities for the people, increase exports, strengthen the balance of pay- ment of the nation, and increase the economic resources of the nation. But, these claims prove just opposite in reality. The biggest argument in favour of foreign companies is that a poor and developing nation like India lacks capital and development is not possible without capital. Therefore, capital can be acquired from foreign countries in order to fulfill this deficiency and the vicious circle can be broken. But the fact is something else. The foreign companies bring very little capital along with them; most of the capital is funded through Indian banks loans, loans from Indians and public issues. All the foreign companies operating in India bring in only five percent of capital from outside. The remaining 90 to 95 percent capital is collected from Indian sources. Capital amount and extent of deception Following is the data with respect to the capital that was brought in at the time of starting their business by Multinational Company Inception year Capital brought in Shalimar Paints Ltd. 1901 63 Lakhs BST Industries Ltd. 1930 1.85 crores Bata India Ltd. 1931 70 lakhs Hindustan Lever Ltd. 1933 24 lakhs Union Carbide India Ltd. 1934 8.36 crores Crompton Greaves Ltd. 1937 3 crores New India Industries Ltd. 1942 27 lakhs Boots Company India Ltd. 1943 1.10 crores Jefrimen co.

Companies like Hindustan Lever, Colgate, Ciba Gigy and hundreds of other foreign companies started their business in India with very little capital. They earned huge profits and increased their share capital by several crores of rupees through bonus shares. Now they are taking billions of rupees from Indian in the name of royalty, net profits and technical fees. One can understand the seriousness of this issue from the fact that the companies operating in India in 1976-77 earned only 121.54 crores which increased to 494.6 crores in 1986-87. These multinational companies have taken around 3244.15 crores rupees out of India legally in the past 11 years. This amount must be several times higher illegally. The foreign companies have sent around 33000 crores rupees out of India legally in 2006-07. These companies are exporting hard earned foreign exchange to their countries of origin. These multinational companies have spread a spiders web in our country in the name of capital investment can be assessed from the following couple of examples. When Hindustan Lever started its business in 1933 at that time its parent company Unilever invested only 24 lakhs. The company spread a spiders web in such a way that the parent company’s share capital increased to ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 33 47.59 crores in 1990. Out of this, 44.51 crores were added to share capital in the form of bonus. Hindustan Lever had sent 80.18 crores outside India in the form of profits between 1975 and 1990. This amount was other than royalty and technical fees. The paid up capital of Hindustan Unilever in 2007-08 is 217.75 crores. While, the total sales of this company is 1474.51 crores. The profit of the company is 1925.47 crores. Similarly, Colgate Palmolive Company started its business in 1937 with just 1.5 lakh rupees. The share capital of the company increased to 12.57 crores by 1989. Out of this, 12.56 crores were added to share capital in the form of bonus shares. It took away 18.42 crores outside India between 1977 and 1989 in the form of profits. The paid up capital of this company in 2007-08 was 135.99 crores, whereas the total turnover was 138.28 crores. The profit of Colgate Palmolive was 231.71 crores in 2007-08. Swiss company Ciba Gigy started its business in 1947 with 48.75 lakhs. The share capital of the company increased to 13.54 crores in 1991. Now Ciba Gigy is known as Novartis India. The paid up capital of this company in 2007-8 was 15.98 crores, whereas the turnover was 559.70 crores. The profit of this company in 2007-08 was 94.46 crores. Famous electronics company, Phillips started its business in 1956 with just 10 lakh rupees. The company sent 10 crores rupees to Holland in 1974 in the form of profits. The paid up capital of this company in 2007-08 was 70.30 crores whereas the turnover was 2890.6 crores. The profit of this company in 2007-08 was 190.30 crores. Generally, the multinational companies take away capital several times higher than invested within one year of establishment. For example, Goodyear company invested one crores rupees in India for starting its business. In 1989 the same company sent 7.33 crores outside India in the form of profits. In other words, it sent seven times of its investment within one year. The paid up capital of Goodyear Company in 2007-08 was 70.30 crores, while the turnover was 979.61 crores. The profits of this company in 2007-08 were 40.23 crores. Similarly, Bayer India invested 8.29 crores in India initially, but sent 13.3 crores outside India in 1989-90 in the form of profit. The paid up capital of this company in 2007-08 was 39.50 crores, whereas the turnover was 1250.82 crores. The profit was 56.63 crores in the same year. Glaxo invested 2.88 crores in India to start the business. It sent 3.93 crores in the form of profit outside India in 1989-90. Glaxo Company’s paid up capital in 2007-08 was 84.70 crores while the turnover was 1712 crores. The profit of the company was 537.66 crores in the same year. Glaxo also does joint business with Smith line in India. The paid up capital of these two companies in 2007-08 was 42.6 crores while the turnover was 1395.51 crores. The total profit was 162.68 crores. American company Pfizer started its business in India with just five lakh rupees and sent 4.83 crores to America within one year in the form of profit. The paid up capital of this company in 2007-08 was 29.84 crores while the turnover was 773.1 crores. The profit of this company in the same year was 338.93 crores. In the same way, American company Abbott Laboratories started its business with just one lakh rupees and sent 23 lakhs to America the next year in the form of profit. Abbott Company had a paid up capital of 14.47 crores in 2007-08 while the turnover was 636 crores. The profit of this company in the same year was 68.43 crores. Grasim & Kevin Company takes around 7.65 times of its paid up capital every year in the form of profit. Famous tobacco multination company, ITC is earning around 11364 percent of its paid up capital. The paid up capital of ITC in 2007-08 was 376.86 crores while the turnover was 21355.94 crores. The profit of this company in the same year was 3120.10 crores. Almost all the American companies are earning 860 percent profit of their paid up capital from India.

The amount of money taken outside India was much higher than the wealth invested. Therefore, it is clear that foreign capital investment is a deal of loss. As per the report of Reserve Bank of 1992, share capital of 326 multinational companies in 1987-88 was 1445.23 crores, out of which 60 percent was the share of Indians, 610 crores was from banks and 50 crores was from government funding.

Subhash was selfless person and had immense love for his country. He was extremely intelligent from childhood and loved his self-respect. He passed ICS examination to fulfill his father’s wish but he resigned from his post for the purpose of free- dom of India. Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das was the source of his political inspiration. The British government realized his excellent organizational strength and put him behind bars. But after being released from the jail, he formed Swarajya party and won seats in Kolkata’s municipal elections. He became the work- ing authority. His writing skills, efficiency and patriotism came to light in ‘Bangla Katha’ and he took a front seat in Congress party. He became the president of Con- gress party in 1938, which was not liked by one of the top Congress leaders. Subhash resigned from Con- gress party and formed ‘Forward Block’. He found that Indian involvement in Second World War to be a good chance of gaining indepen- dence and he moved out of India on 16 th January 1941. He met Hitler in Germany and went to Singapore. He got released the Indian prisoners of wars made by Japan. He formed Azad Hind Fauj with their support. He became popular as ‘Netaji’ amongst the im- migrant Indians and gave the slogan of Jai Hind from Singapore. He invited all the Indians of the world with his famous slogan, ‘You give me blood, and I will give you freedom.’ He believed that freedom cannot be obtained through begging but it requires sacrifice and dedication. Azad Hind Fauj won under his leadership and crossed Indian border via Burma. The party hoisted the flag in Imphal and also declared independence. Second World War saw a twist in 1945 and they had to move back due to limited resources. This move from Subhash shook the British gov- ernment and they wanted to arrest him. Netaji went inder ground. British decided to quit India and it be- came free, but Netaji was missing. We celebrate his birth anniversary and remember his patriotic efforts for the motherland, which gives us a proud feeling. -Srushti Shadi 23 January: Netaji Jayanti 1997 129898 13548 1998 132692 12343 1999 92599 10311 2000 104411 10368 2001 2339 160711 18486 2002 3904 162184 13711 2003 2574 97364 11789 2004 1551 147814 14653 2005 526 192991 24613 2006 2007 2008 ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 37 z ¤f¤a ¤r¤r +¤r ª ¤ nfzaª¤n¸ ì nra z ¤r +r¤ì f¤a z ¤r +r¤ì ¬r¤r¤z¤r +r¤ì ¬fafºrz¤r +r¤ì ¤r-¤ª¤urfª ¤nrf¢r, arfª =f¤aª¤rfª, ªr ;atrf¢rì ¤r-¤tnr¤¸ =¤ftarfª, arfª -¤¤r¤rt¤rfª ªr ;atrf¢rìì·ìì The lords that are in this world are several times superior to you in qualities and the ancestors are elder in age, do not make mistake in fulfilling your responsibilities towards them.

One who understands him, becomes the knower of everything, and when he knows everything, nothing remains impossible for him , just like Brahma. There is no desire that is not fulfilled and attains satisfaction of all types. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 38 -Swami Ramdev =ªr ararf’¤-r¤‘-r¤ta-¤ +rr . ¤ =”rt¤r¤ft¢rrfn-¤ra¸ ìì+sìì Word Meaning: Sada Gyata Chittavrittaya- con- ditions of mind are always known; Tatprabho – that lord of mind; Purushasya aparinamitvat – when man becomes inefficient. Prose meaning: When man becomes inefficient, the lord of mind always remembers the conditions of mind. Meaning: When mind is related to external con- dition, then it knows and when there is no relation then it does not know it. There is change in mind in both conditions, when the mind is aware of external subjects and when it is not aware. The reason is that mind is the result of three-quality nature and qualities like pious etc. are result giving. Therefore, mind is known as result. But, the lord of mind that is the man does not give this result. He is always witness of mind, whether it is full of subjective conditions or not. When the mind is full of subjective conditions then the man is witness of subjective conditions and when the mind is free of conditions then the man is witness of ab- sence of subjective conditions. Question: Mind broadcasts the external things and can also be aware of its form. Is it necessary to know any witness other than mind free of conditions? ª aa¸ t¤r+rr= ª‘’¤-¤ra¸ ìì+vìì q¤=n¤ ¤r+r¤rª¤¤rt¢rn¸ ììzoìì Word meaning: Na – is not there; tata – that mind; Swabhasam – which knows its own self; Drishyatvat – as it is visible; eksamaye cha – and in one time only; Ubhyanvdharanam – cannot know it- self and subjects. Prose meaning: That mind which does not know its own form, it is visible and it is not possible for the mind to know itself at the same time Meaning: When we develop strong synchroniza- tion with mind, then we experience different emotions like happiness, unhappiness, anger, fear etc. This ex- perience clearly indicates that these emotional changes are being known by some other source, the mind does not know them. In this way it is proved that mind is visible, it is known by the man that is the one who sees, it knows its form itself. If somebody says that mind can understand the subjects and attains subjec- tive knowledge at the same time then it is not correct because two types of knowledge cannot be obtained at the same time. Question: Mind cannot know the subject and its own form at the same time, it has been accepted as it is logical. In order to avoid this problem, why cannot it be believed that the mind understands the subject and this mind is understood while knowing the subject by another mind? If we consider this then the above men- tioned problem will be overcome and there will be no need to consider any consciousness of mind without conditions as looker. Its answer cannot be considered like this because…. f¤-rr-atª‘’¤ ¤fq¤qtfa¤=z tn‘fa=¤t’¤ ììz+ìì Word meaning: Chintantardrushye- considering the mind that understands the subject as the one that is visible to another mind; Budhibudhe – intelligence of intelligence; Atiprasang – the problem of too wide ap- plication will be seen; Smriti Sankar cha – the memo- ries will also be narrowed. Prose meaning – When we consider that the mind which is understanding the subject is the one that is visible to another mind then the problem of too wide application of intelligence of intelligence will be seen and the memories will also be narrowed. f¤at¤fa=anr¤rtaªr¤rtr¤-rr t¤¤fq=¤ªªn¸ ììzzìì Word meaning: Chitte Apratisankramaya – con- sciousness free of movement of soul of one who sees; Tadakarapatto – on attaining the mind with subjective shape; Swabudhisamvedanam – sensitivity of own in- telligence occurs. Prose meaning: When consciousness free of movement (of soul) of one who sees attains the mind with subjective shape near it then the person experi- ences sensitivity of own intelligence. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 39 -Dr. Ramjeet Sharma, HOD, Herbal Garden and Agriculture Research Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar A person who gets the blessings of goddess less Lakshmi gets re- lieved from poverty and miseries. He gets name and fame with wealth and riches. Cow has been compared with goddess Lakshmi in Vedas and mytho- logical books. Man has earned wealth by worshipping goddess Lakshmi and a person who takes care of cow worships 33 crores gods and god- desses along with Lakshmi. This makes him intelligent. These are emo- tional facts but true. Indians have been emotionally attached with cow since Vedic age. One cannot develop faith in anything unless there is an emotional attachment. Cattle farming is a business besides an emotion, which has become the livelihood for several poor people. Cattle farming is the source of in- come for poorest of poor person and has been the backbone of Indian economy since ages. If we analyze cattle farming at family level then four to five liters of cow milk is sufficient to fulfill the needs of a four member family. The family gets milk, curd, clarified butter, butter milk in sufficient quantity along with cow dung that is used as fuel. A calf also takes birth in one year. The ash of half burnt cow dung cake is a good tooth powder. Put five gram clarified butter on cow dung fire to fill fragrance in entire house. It purifies the environment and destroys germs. Cow milk, clarified butter and butter milk are very healthy and the person need not think before consuming these items. Drinking 200 gm cow milk or butter milk daily fulfills all the requirements of the body and improves health. It develops pure and good mind. Cow milk, clarified butter, butter milk, urine and cow dung are full of medicinal qualities and there is no need to visit a doctor. The cow provides economic, mental, religious and medicinal benefits to the person and happi- ness and contentment. If we analyze this business at national level, then also it is the only business that provides maximum income to the persons. At present, India is suffering from fuel deficiency and unemployment. Cattle farming is contributing in these areas, which is not available from any other sector. Cow dung is used both as fuel and manure, milk gives nourishment and medicines. Cattle’s farming is a source of income for more than 10 crores families in India. It is very difficult to analyze all its qualities but economic analysis proves that India earns around 800 billion rupees of income annually from this sector. We are giving away foreign exchange and useful goods in the name of globalization but at the same time, we are bringing in serious diseases like AIDS and increasing unem- ployment. These are the symbols indicating poverty. On the other hand, cow is the main source of income and employment in rural areas. Cow dung has lot of miraculous qualities, which have not been found out so far. Proper use of cow dung can solve the fuel crisis in India, it can Cow has been compared with goddess Lakshmi in Vedas and mythological books. Man has earned wealth by worshipping goddess Lakshmi and a person who takes care of cow worships 33 crores gods and goddesses along with Lakshmi. This makes him intelligent.

We have not yet paid attention towards the medicinal qualities of cow dung. In California alone, an income of eight crores dollars is being earned out of an expenditure of two crores dollars annually on cow dung. Therefore it is necessary to find out the secrets of cow dung and use them to the fullest. The day we will find the secrets of cow dung that day India will become golden bird once again. The dung obtained from cows and buffaloes are mainly used in the form of fuel and manure. But, nowa- days it is also being used for making incense sticks, pooja material, tiles etc. Fuel: As per various surveys and estimates made by different scientists, the dung of cows and buffaloes is used 2/3 and 1/3 in the form of fuel and manure re- spectively. Almost all the villages use cow dung for making fuel cakes, which is the most important source of domestic fuel. Two kilos of cow dung cakes is equal to fuel obtained from one kilo wood or half kilo coal. Table – 1: Fuel from cow dung One kilo wood = 2 kilos cow dung cakes One kilo coal = 4 kilos cow dung cakes One cubic meter biogas = 25 kilo cow dung One cubic meter biogas = 1.6 – 4.7 unit electricity (3 units) Cow dung can also be used in the form of biogas and electricity other than cow dung fuel cakes. As per the scientific facts, it is believed that 25 kilo fresh cow dung can make one or one and half cubic meter biogas. This amount of biogas is sufficient to fulfill the fuel and electricity needs of one small family. The fuel obtained from biogas does not create any type of smoke or poi- sonous gas. In other words biogas is cheap and good source of fuel. The biggest advantage is that cow dung is made into good type of manure, which can be di- rectly used in fields. It can be converted into vermin compost. Biogas can be used for starting generator and used as electricity instead of burning it directly. One cubic meter biogas can produce around three units of elec- tricity. This can be used as normal electricity. There- fore, cow dung can fulfill the fuel, electricity and ma- nure requirements of cattle farmers. Experiments and figures have proved that using cow dung in the form of manure saves around 241 billions every year, while it saves around 260 billions when used in the form of fuel. N.S.Subbarao also proved in the year 1982 that if cow dung is stopped being used in the form of fuel then around 20 years old 14-15 crores trees will have to be destroyed. Cutting down so many trees can change the envi- ronmental conditions to harmful level. Therefore, the environment and climatic balance is being maintained indirectly through cow dung and cow Manure: The process of making compost from cow dung is prevalent from long time. When cow dung is made into compost, the level of nitrogen, phospho- rous and potassium increases by two to three times than in fresh cow dung. Nowadays, cow dung and cow dung slurry is being used for making vermin compost and biodynamic manure. The amount of nitrogen, phospho- rous and potassium is six to eight times more in biody- namic manure and three to four times in vermin com- post when compared to cow dung. Table – 2: Nutritional elements in cow dung Nutritional element Nitrogen Phosphorous Potasium FYM / compost / 0.5 0.5 0.25 Slurry Vermin compost 1.5 0.5 0.25 Biofertlizer 3.0 1.0 1.0 Besides, soil also provides little amounts of com- post. As per normal estimates, the cost of these ele- ments is around 241 to 3536 billions. Table -3: Economic estimate of different forms of cow dung Fuel Chemical Total manure (billions) Fresh cow dung 109.5 156.8 260 Compost 241 241 Biogas + compost 219 241 460 Biogas + vermi 219 2859 3078 compost Biogas + Biofertlizer 219 3317 3536 Total income from this sector = Rs.2000 billion annually (2003-2004) It is necessary to highlight the fact that as per the figures of 2003-2004 the total income from cattle farm- ing in the nation is 2000 billions. While, proper utilization of cow dung gives an income of 3536 billions, which is double than gross cattle farming income. This manure increases the soil fertility and also save billions of ru- pees spent for urea, DAP etc. Other uses: cow dung is being used in the form of ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 41 fuel cakes and manure for the past several centuries but nowadays it is also being used for making incense sticks, tiles and pooja material. Besides, cow dung is also used in the manufacture of ayurvedic medicines. Processing of cow dung reduces or destroys its poison- ous element. Therefore, as we are highlighting the quali- ties of cow dung, its economic value is also increasing. Very soon we will have businesses based on cow dung and cow urine and income obtained from cow will in- crease by several times. The above facts show that all these estimates are imaginative and beyond reality. Therefore, we are giv- ing a practical example in order to explain the economic viability of cow dung. The economic revolution seen in the dairy farm of Govind Vallabh Pant Agriculture and Technology Uni- versity with cow dung resources is as follows. One must visit this dairy farm in order to analyze the economic revolution with ones eyes. The dairy farm which was making losses is now mak- ing profits only with the use of cow dung. There are around 750 cows and buf- faloes in this dairy farm. Around 150 to 200 quintals of cow dung is obtained daily along with left over fodder. Previously it was put into cultivable land or flown in river. This used to create the problem of termite, flies, mosquitoes, snakes, insects and ammonia smell. The dairy farm has seen a face lift from the day cow dung is being used in the form of vermi compost, vermin wash etc. The economic condition of dairy farm has changed surprisingly. It has also overcome the problem of am- monia smell, flies, mosquitoes, snakes, and insects. Around 20-30 people have got direct employment and there is tremendous change with cleanliness and eco- nomic condition of the dairy farm. Presently, cow dung is mainly used in the form of vermin compost and the grapes, banana and vegetables are grown in the middle portion of vermi bed which is full of organic qualities. The productivity and variety is better than normal fruits and vegetables. The cost of these fruits and vegetables is also high. The soil which is used for making vermin compost is also used for growing fruits and vegetables. This increases the income and organic material is ob- tained from extract of fruits and vegetables for making vermi compost. The above mentioned facts and examples prove that cow dung has different qualities. These qualities can increase the income from cow dung more than milk. As mentioned earlier, if cow dung is used for making biodynamic manure then the income will increase twice when compared to gross cattle farming income. Cow dung should be used for making pooja material, incense sticks, tiles etc, cow dung can be a main element in ayurvedic medicines and processing of medicines. This will increase the significance of cow dung as well as income. The above mentioned qualities of cow dung prove that cow dung is not just gold but more valuable than gold. Therefore it should be used to the fullest. Patanjali Yogpeeth has moved ahead in order to in- crease the utility of cow dung, cow and gives it the correct status. Here the germplasm of good breeds of cows will be collected and their physical, economic and medicinal qualities will be analyzed. The cow urine, cow dung etc. obtained from cow will be tested scien- tifically regarding its economic and medicinal qualities. Revered swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj and Acharya Balkrishna have made efforts to bring in public aware- ness of divine qualities of cow and give it the status that it deserves. In the coming days, cow dung will be used for mak- ing biogas and vermin compost in fodder fields and pro- duce milk. If the dreams of biogas and organic farming are also fulfilled then another white revolution will be seen in dairies using cow dung. The above facts clari- fies that cow dung is not garbage, compost but an ele- ment which keeps the environment pure, increase soil fertility and prevent several diseases in human beings. This will completely prove the saying of our sages and seers that goddess Lakshmi resides in cow dung. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 42 -Acharya Abhaydeva Vidyalankar WORSHIP = ~ f+r ¤ nr¤ fa fn ~ t-ª n¤ ~ ¤ºrr f¤ ~ ªì =¸ª = ~ -¤t¤ ~ =-¤ fan¸ìì +. º·º:· =|n. ¤¸. ..º:· ~·|¤. .ºº.¡ Sage: Priyamedha, Lord: Indra; Prose: Gayatri Word Meaning: Yathavido- You, in order to obtain knowledge of truth; Gopitam- lord of sensory organs; Indram- of soul; Gira- with speech; Abhi Pra Archa- worship that soul whole heartedly; Satyam sunum – who is son of truth and ; Saptim- always nurtures truth.

When they settled in America, the Americans were very impressed with the mutual faith, dedication and co-operation between the couples. The Indian values became the center of their attraction. An article published in News Week says that today Americans are see- ing the chanting of Aum and the process related to it as a solution. The num- ber of people inclining towards spiritualism is increasing. It increased from 24 percent in 2005 to 30 percent in 2009. Nowadays, one can hear the chanting of Aum in any prayer meetings held in America. 30 percent of Americans like to be called as spiritual person instead of religious person. American citizens are gradually molding themselves as per sage tradition related to god and immortal element. If today, the chanting of Aum is being heard all over America then the credit goes to Swami Vivekananda for his speech in Chicago world religious conference and Yogrishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj. The impact of economic crisis of strong economic American culture was seen on every segment. The family system was weak earlier also and the worry of future and over luxurious life made them obese and diseased. The author of the article published in News Week has reached to the conclusion on the basis of various surveys that the spirituality is increasing in Americans in place of religious feeling. Therefore, 65 percent Americans believe in the principles mentioned in Rigveda in spite of the fact that 76 percent of Americans are Christians. They believe in the Indian principle that as all the rivers flows towards the sea in the same way all the paths go towards God. The principle of equality of religions has been prevalent in India since ancient times. The people have faith in mortality of body and immortal- ity of soul, rebirth, and soul leaving one body after death and entering another body. The author has called it ‘Faith.’ Therefore, the author believes on the basis of surveys that every third American is expressing the opinion of burn- ing the dead bodies like Hindus. The reason is that they have started believing in rebirth. Our sages have called Yog as the method of removing conditions from mind. Mind is playful and wanders here and there. Yog can control its playfulness. Self control arouses pious feelings. The pious feeling inspires us to maintain harmony with everything around us. Because, everything present -Shekhar Agarwal Americans are seeing the chanting of Aum and the process related to it as a solu- tion.

America, a prosperous country is increasing its affection towards Indian spiritualism. China that is running on the fast track of economic development has also ac- cepted Yog as the resource of mental and physical peace.yog is deepening its roots in this country at a very fast rate. The people of china have been following religious and spiri- tual discipline in order to strengthen the mental and physi- cal health. But today Yog is above any religion, sect, geographical boundary, breed, cultures and has become a part of daily routine of mankind. Yog has entered into all countries whether it is Pakistan or Italy that follows Roman Catholic religion, Cambodia that follows Bud- dhism or China or Jewish land Israel. It is interesting to note that in Pakistan, the initiative to teach Yog has been taken by Shahbaj Ali Khan, famous Yog teacher but not by a Hindu. American citizens are spending three bil- lion dollars annually on Yog classes, Yog tools, clothes, Yog tours, videos and other Yog products. A survey conducted by ‘Yog Journal’ shows that the number of people practicing Yog regularly has increased from 1.65 crores in 2005 to 2 crores at present. The profession of Yog teacher has become very lucrative and the income per Yog class is between 80 and 125 dollars. An American practicing Yog is spend- ing on average 1500 dollars annually. As per Yog journal, Yog is booming as an industry in 21 Asian countries and the annual turnover of this industry is more than 50 crores dollar. The Pure Yog Studio of Hong Kong is considered to be the biggest Yog studio of the world. One can see people of all groups engrossed in practicing Yogasana and madras, be it a common man, a corporator or a celebrity. Millions of people attend Yog camps of Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj organized in nook and corner of India and learn the intricacies of Yog. His popularity can be assessed from the fact that Queen Elizabeth of England invited him on tea in 2006 and Steel emperor, Lakshmi Mittal took out time to meet Swami Ji. Chief Secretary of USA requested for his co-op- eration to make the millennium program successful. The television channels which broadcast Swami Ji’s pro- gram have increased viewership rate. It is evident that people have come into the shelter of Yog to attain men- tal peace since they have started facing stress and depression due to comfortable life style. Countries like America, Canada and Britain were glittering with the lights of Deepawali festival. The local govern- ments are also giving importance to this festival. Mayor of London, Boris Johnson began Deepawali Festival Season on 4 th October 2009 and the historical Trafalgar Square was shining with lights. The streets of London were glittering with lights. The Indians have come out as a single minority community in both America and Canada. They have gained name and fame in the fields of politics, finance, education and business. This is the result of the intelli- gence of Indians that this year Deepawali was cel- ebrated at White House in America. President Barrack Obama invited around 150 guests at White House on this occasion and organized party with diyas and tradi- tional Indian food. However, Deepawali is celebrated at national level in Britain but it is limited in those cities of America which have a large number of Indian popu- lations. Cracker display and grand parties are organized by prominent people on the occasion of Deepawali in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, Washington. Canada has lot of Sikh and Gujarati popu- lation and here also Deepawali was celebrated at Prime Minister’s residence. American President, Barrack Obama having faith in Indian values started a new tradition. He lighted the lamp amidst chanting of Vedic mantras for world peace and celebrated Deepawali. This was the first instance when American president participated in Deepawali celebrations at White House. Pandit Narayan Acharya Digalakote chanted Vedic mantras in Shiva Vishnu temple. Addressing the people in East Room of White House President Obama said that this festival denotes the victory of good over bad. He said that he is very happy to light the lamp at White House. It is the first instance when an American president has celebrated this festival and given it government recognition. Previ- ously, Deepawali was celebrated in a building situated next to White House. Yog, Ayurved and Indian tradi- tions are gaining global recognition. The western people are fed up of luxurious life style and accepting Indian traditions at a very fast pace. The credit goes to re- vered Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 45 swami Vivekananda hoisted the flag of Hindu religion at Chicago religious con- ference and started going to different places and left a lasting impression on the minds of the people. However he did not forget his India. His motherland, the misery in the eyes of the downtrodden used to always come in front of his eyes. Once he wrote in a letter, “We will have to re- move all gods and goddesses from our minds for the next 50 years. Only god aroused in our mind is our nation. Wor- shipping this mighty nation is real worship. The first god- dess whom we will pray is our motherland and Indian is our first god.” He said, “Before coming to other countries I love my country from the bottom of my heart. But now the air of India and every dust particle is more sacred than heaven. Indian land is sacred land. It is my mother, India is my pilgrimage.” Swami Ji’s heart was eager to see the motherland once the ship left Colombo. Tears rolled down his cheeks as soon as the ship reached the banks of the sea. He bowed in front of the sea and prayed to motherland. As soon as the ship was anchored, Swami Ji got down from it crazily and bowed down to touch the motherland. It was appearing as if a child is getting into the laps of his mother. He said, “All the people following western culture should get into the laps of mother land.” Swami Vivekananda Ji told the ascetics: Listen! These miserly and poor people are so simple at heart. Can’t you reduce their troubles even little? Then what is the use of wearing these saffron clothes? Some- times my mind says that what is the use of building the temples? Sell these and donate to the poor people. We live under the shade of the tree, then why should we worry about our houses? When our fellow citizen is starving for one morsel, won’t we feel ashamed to eat food? Mother! Is there no solution to this problem? You know that one of the objectives to go to western countries for propagating our religion was to find resource for nurturing our country- men. I see their sorrows and miseries and think that this prayers and worship should be given up, sounding the bell and lighting the lamp should be stopped, we should leave the habit of praying for salvation, and knowledge of clas- sics. Go to each and every village and serve the poor and needy people, make the rich people realize their responsi- bilities towards the society, collect wealth and resources, which can be used for the service of the poor people. Look, how so many untouchables are converting into Chris- tianity in Madras (now Chennai) due to insensitive attitude of Hindus. Do not think that they are converting their reli- gion due to starvation. They have become Christians be- cause you could not transmit your empathy to them. You have always been telling them not to touch. Do not touch this, do not touch that. Make it clear in your mind, “Until these people do not rise, Indian will not progress. If we are unable to provide them food and clothes then what is our utility? Go, make collective efforts and remove the veil of darkness from their eyes.” Pravin Madhukar Amrinkar History will be created when Yog duty and na- tional duty combine ¤rn¤n = ¤znt ¬r-nrrf¤a ¬r-nrrf¤a = ¬rnnt trrº+rf¤a ¤rt r, ¤rt r +rrta t¤rf+rnrª ¤t rrf¤a ¤rn¤n ¬rt trrº¤n.......... +rrta t¤rf+rnrª ¤t q¤ r ¬rtºrr ª¤t ¬r¬rzt ª¤t ª¤¤tºrr z¸t ¤tnt zrr ¤t ¬ª¤¤tºrr ¤rn¤n ¬rt trrº¤n.......... +rrta t¤rf+rnrª ¤r q¤ rt ªrtr t¤zrrt ¬¤ªr¤ ¤ zrr =rtr ¤rn¤n ¬rt trrº¤n..........

Presi- dent, Dr. Rajendra Prasad left Rashtrapati Bhawan in his six horse chariot at 2.30 p.m and reached the venue via Connaught Circus at 3.45 p.m. First Republic Day parade was held in the evening. President took the salute with 31 firing of guns, now there is a tradition of 21 firing of guns. Next year the parade was held at Kingsway, which later came to be known as Rajpath. At that time, the parade used to begin from Kingsway and follow the route of Curzon Road, Connaught circus, Irwin Road and end at Gol Post Office. In this year, four Paramvir Chakras were awarded for the first time. In 1952 the parade was held from old Delhi, red fort and ended at Chandini Chowk. Many old people must be still remembering the procession of Emperor Ashok, in which he was shown sending messengers to other countries. Folkdances were included in the republic day parade of 1953 and fire crackers were displayed at Ramlila Ground on 26th January. In this year, the tribal people of Tripura, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh were invited to see the parade in order to arouse national feeling in them. In 1955, 50 ironsmith groups came from Rajasthan, who reminded everybody of Maharana Pratap who fought against Akbar. Mushaira was started in Divan-e-Aam of Red Fort. The tradition of inviting chief guests from other countries on this occasion began from 1950. Indonesian President, Sukarno came with his wife in that year. Governor Gulam Mohammed of Pakistan was invitee for 1955 Republic Day, Chinese Marshall, Ye Chin Ying came as chief guest in 1958. It is interesting to note that Food and Agriculture Minister of Pakistan; RanaAbdul Hamid was invited as the chief guest in 1965 and after few days both the countries had to fight war. You must be thinking that Russian President visited India on this occasion many times. It is not true; Vladimir Putin had recently visited India on republic day. Nobody has been invited from America till now. The highest number of times to invite a guest on republic day has been from France. Till now, chief guests from France have visited India four times on this occasion. Nowadays, people are avoiding going out of their houses to watch republic day parade due to security reasons and lethargy. However, 20 lakh people had watched the parade in 1960. This was the first time when bravery awards to children were given. On this occasion, one of the elephants had created chaos but was controlled. In 1962, the parade was so long that it had reached red fort but one end of the parade was still at India gate only. 1963 republic day parade reminded us the defeat against china. Dilip Kumar, Talat Mahmud and Lata Mangeshkar collected Prime Minister Relief fund on this occasion. Lt. Col. S.S.Kohli, who climbed Mt. Everest, was the center of attraction in 1965. 164 airplanes mesmerized people in 1968. Tribute paid to the martyrs at Amar Javan Jyoti in 1973 was the highlight and first woman IPS officer, Kiran Bedi leading the Delhi Police troupe was the hot topic. In 1982, Appu of Asian games was very interesting for the people. Similarly, Arjun tank made indigenously filled the people’s heart with pride in 1966 parade. Republic Day Parade which has become the pride of the nation was organized for the first time on 26th January, 1950 at Irwin Stadium (national stadium). President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad left Rashtrapati Bhawan in his six horse chariot at 2.30 p.m and reached the venue via Connaught Circus at 3.45 p.m. First Republic Day parade was held in the evening. Presi- dent took the salute with 31 firing of guns, now there is a tradition of firing 21 firing of guns. 26th January: Republic Day ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 47 Parkinson’s is a disease in which the patient loses control over different organs and suffers from shiver- ing. The patient finds it difficult to control his body move- ments. The muscles become hard and stiff and lose their flexibility, as a result the patient finds difficulty in walking and doing routine work. Science is also not aware if Parkinson’s is a heredi- tary problem or there are other reasons for it. Parkinson’s means trouble along with other age related problems. In majority of the cases, it is considered to be a common old age problem and patients do not take treatment also. Muscles lose their flexibility with increasing age. If the life style is inactive then the movement of hands and legs reduces to a great extent. But in case of Parkinson’s the physical posture gets affected. The neck, back, elbows and knees bend. The patient feels difficulty in walking, sitting, and doing routine work. The patient is unable to walk even two steps. Medicines and exercise alone are not enough to treat this. The most important thing is to provide right environment for the patient where he or she can live happily and peacefully amidst their dear ones. Lack of peace of mind, worries, disrespect, negative thoughts aggra- vates this disease. Dopam- ine can be increased even in case of good art of liv- ing is practiced. Dopam- ine activates the internal circuits of the brain and sends the messages to the related organs. In case of Parkinson’s a special group of neurons get destroyed. These neurons join the brain cells. They secrete dopamine, which gives chemical indications to the brain. Yogasana, pranayam and life style changes improve the health of the pa- tient. Yogic cure: Yog has tremendous power and can cure almost all the dis- eases occurring in the body. Regu- lar practice of yoga gives ben- efit. It should be done depend- ing on individual physical capac- ity. It is also necessary to practice it as per the methodology. If it is not done as per the prescribed method then it can be harmful. Therefore, you should have full knowledge about the asana that you are practicing. Parkinson’s patients should practice Surya Namaskara. This asana strengthens all the organs of the body and makes them disease free. This is a complete exercise. Regular practice of Akarnadhanushtakarasana gives special benefit in case of Parkinson’s. It relieves the joint pain in hands and legs and strengthens the muscles. Parkinson’s patient should practice it as much as possible. Hastapadangushtasana should be practiced daily for special benefits. It overcomes diseases of hands and legs. This is the best asana for the patients of Parkinson’s. It should be practiced daily depending on individual capacity. Pranayam: Regular practice of Pranayam gives lot of benefit to Parkinson’s patient. It is brain related disease and pranayam improves the health of the brain. It is a divine and wonderful exercise. Bhastrika pranayam provides pure vital life energy to the brain. It purifies the blood and removes the poisonous elements from the body. Kapalbhati increases the glow, brightness and beauty of the face and forehead. It prevents constipation. It cures all the internal and external diseases of the body. Anulom-Vilom and Nadishodhan pranayam are ex- cellent exercises for a Parkinson’s patient. These pranayam remove the reasons responsible for Parkinson’s. Ujjayi pranayam is also beneficial in case of Parkinson’s. It overcomes all the disorders of the brain and gives relief to the patient. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 48 Our hearts are filled with national feeling espe- cially when the nation is facing some problems like war, terrorist attack, floods, earthquake or some serious epi- demic. Some momentary emotions are seen on 15th August and 26th January when the whole country re- sounds with patriotic songs. This one day patriotic feel- ing is seen only twice in a year. Many myths have occupied our minds knowingly or unknowingly with respect to national spirit. We can ex- plain it in this way that we never tried to understand our responsibility towards the nation. Nevertheless we have to experience the ill effects of this in our daily life, for example, littered surroundings, mosquito menace, lack of drinking water, global warming, pollution etc. But we hardly think about the reasons for these problems. Whenever we think about patriotism we think about a soldier fighting in a war or martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. We never develop the feeling that every citizen of the country, whether male or female, young or old, everybody has a duty towards the nation, a responsibility to be fulfilled. Every citizen of the coun- try is equally responsible towards the nation as much as a Prime Minister or a Chief Minister. This responsibility can be fulfilled only when we keep national interest in mind and fulfill our duties and tasks with honesty and dedication. We generally believe that we alone cannot bring in any changes in the country. When we throw our litter on the streets then also the same psychology works behind it. What will happen if I throw the litter outside the house? Who does not want development of the na- tion, but, it requires selfless efforts and very few people can actually gather the courage to do so. It is extremely necessary to analyze others contribution in our own lives. This life is dependent on co-existence, nation, society, family have an important contribution. The feeling of indebtedness will develop only when we understand this and we will have the feeling of serving the nation. If we think with a cool mind then we will find that national property is nothing else but hard earned wealth of the countrymen given to the government in the form of taxes. This should be utilized only for the public wel- fare. If it is misused, whether it is politician, govern- ment servant, government contractor or businessman, then they have to pay for it sometime or the other in some form or the other. This is rule of nature and can- not be ruled against. We can protect ourselves cleverly from the manmade rules but it is not possible to save ourselves from rules of the nature. The biggest problem in front of the nation today is lack of national feeling. If the feeling of national inter- est develops within us then all the other problems will be resolved automatically. It is necessary to sacrifice the desires without selfishness and pay attention on national interest. Everybody should do their part of work honestly and sincerely. The national feeling should not be expressed at some occasions but it should be there in our hearts. National love is the only effective source to beautify our lives. -Bharat Singh ·| | · - +i z| | - t l -· ª| , · | · º +| =- n| - t l -· ª| , < l -¤| +i --| : ¤| +| ¤¸ n , +· | ÷ | +| ~· n| - t l -· ª| ¤ l +¤ n- +t-| t ¤t l -· ª| , ¬¸ ¤ ~| · ~| ¬i =t-| t ¤t l -· ª| , ª+-| n-, -n- ~| · -n- ti ¤|-|, -a- +| = < z| = -| -| t ¤t l -· ª| ¤ < t ~ªª-, ¤·¤i= ¤-¤·i +| ntn|- t l-· ª|, +z|l·¤|, =¤·<, t· ·ª n ¤¤|- t l-·ª|, ª·i¤i n|º| ~|¤, +·|i ¤:n|- n- ¤--|, +¤| l+ t· ·||·-i¤ +| : n|- t l-· ª| ª ª| +i -·t ª¤-¤, ¤l¤·| t l-· ª| , ¤¤|-|, l+=|-|, tn =¤+| ln·| t l-·ª|, ( '·|·-' n·- t( ·|i <|n- = nª|¤ ·º|-|, +¤| l+ ~|¤|< ·||·- +| ¤-i+ t l-· ª| -Pradip Naik Synopsis of the poem: Tricolor is India’s pride and honor. It should reach great heights and this is the desire of the millions of Indians. The tricolor asks that people should not bend. It faces storm and sun. Tricolor is inspiring the people to continue on their path without stopping and gives the message of ris- ing above. The poet is saying that one should not be dishonest even in tough times as tricolor is pride of India. It is the tricolor of youth, farmers and it should be kept near us even during death. It is the symbol of Indian independence. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 49 -Sharan Children today I will tell you the story of a great man who was a social reformer, thinker, politician and a dutiful person. His name was Raja Ram Mohan Rai. The story dates back to 1744. There was a district in Bengal by the name of Burdwan. There was a village called Radhanagar in that district. The thread maker of that village was very famous and the demand was seen up to Eu- rope. East India Company had established one big house in this place in view of business potential. A famous Brahmin family used to live in Radhanagar. The head of that family was a very religious and orthodox person. A child took birth in that family, who later shined in the form of Indian pride. The name of that Indian pride was Raja Ram Mohan Rai. At that time, India was facing serious problems related to non-governance. There was Mughal rule but the British were strengthening their roots and the Nawabs were ready to kill each other. On the other hand, the Portuguese, Dutch, French and English were trying to go ahead of one another. India was the lone victim of their games. At that time, Arabians and Persians were strong. Therefore, Rammohan Rai was sent to Patna for his education. There he studied Quran and Islamic religious books and also books authored by Arastu and Ukledas. The books were translated in Arabic language. Meanwhile he studied poems of Sufi po- ets of Persia. All the poems were inspired by philosophy. He wrote a book in Persian language at the age of 16 years. The book was titled, ‘Tohfatul Moiddin.’ He had written its pretext in Arabian language. He had condemned idol wor- ship in this book. One day Rammohan’s father saw that book. He read it and was deeply hurt. He expressed his anger and asked Rammohan to burn that book. But he was not ready for it. The argument increased and Rammohan left his home for the sake of his principles. The book was published in 1804 after Rammohan’s father’s death. Its English translation is also available now. Rammohan was wandering after leaving his home and reached Tibet. There he studied the Buddhist books. He lived there for four years and went to Banaras where he lived for ten years. During this period he studied several Sanskrit and Hindu religious books. He went to Calcutta from Banaras. Mean- while he had also gained proficiency in English language. On 7th March, 1830, Rammohan Rai was made the Diwan of collector of Jalalpur, Dhaka by East India Company. He improved his English language skills while serving on this post. He took retirement in 1814 and went to Kolkata and started social and religious reform work. He set up Atmiya Sabha for this purpose. A weekly meeting used to be held in the garden of his home. The subject of the meeting used to be social issues. Atmiya Sabha organized a procession in 1819. Pandit Raja Ram Mohan Roy There was lot of commo- tion in Hindu society of Bengal. Raja Ram Mohan Ray's sister –in- law was forced to become Sati after her husband’s death in 1811. From that day itself, Rammohan had decided to remove this social evil. He had to fight for this cause with the social leaders for around 15 years. Only then he got the support from Lord William Bentinck and a law was made to stop this system. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 50 Subramanyam Shastri was also present in that proces- sion. They got into discussion on idol worship and con- tinued for several days. Shastri could not win over Rammohan Rai’s arguments. Rammohan presented excellent logics for which Shastri had no answers. Rammohan’s protest against Sati system had antago- nized religious leaders. There was lot of commotion in Hindu society of Bengal. His sister –in-law was forced to become Sati after her husband’s death in 1811. (Jagmohan Rai was elder brother of Rammohan Rai). From that day itself, Rammohan had decided to remove this social evil. He had to fight for this cause with the social leaders for around 15 years. Only then he got the support from Lord William Bentinck and a law was made to stop this system. Meanwhile he studied Angel and Torat to understand the religion of Christians and Jews. He had to learn Hebrew language for this as Angel was written in this language. He had translated this book into English, which was published in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1820. However the priest’s community did not tolerate this and wrote several articles against Rammohan. These articles were published in Friend of India. Rammohan was also not ready to give up. He gave very good reply. This went on for long time. Finally, he wrote an article which was published in ‘Akhiri Appeal.’ It was praised in America and Europe. In 1823, East India Company decided to form a com- mittee with the objective of providing Arabian and San- skrit education to Indians. Rammohan wrote a letter to governor general, he wrote that if the government re- ally wanted to educate the Indians then it should make arrangements to teach them European education re- lated subjects like chemistry, science, biology, philoso- phy and other science subjects. If it wanted to keep the people in darkness then there is no better system than old system of education prevailing in the country. Rammohan was correct; he had demanded the right thing at the right time. The letter had a deep impact on the mind of governor general and he opened schools and colleges in Kolkata. On 20th August 1828, Rammohan converted Atmiya Sabha into Brahmasamaj. This was a successful effort in order to improve Hindu society. He knew that politi- cal progress is not possible until the social evils are not eradicated from the society. Brahmasamaj was a com- mon platform for all those who believed in one God and gathered here without any differences. It progressed a lot within a period of two years and the members of this organization felt the need for having a separate room for prayer. Rammohan Rai agreed to this and got a separate prayer room constructed at his own cost. The religious leaders did not keep quite in spite of sati act being passed. They appealed against it in En- gland also. In that period only, last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah’s father Akbar shah II sent Rammohan as his barrister to England for cases related to his pen- sion and other problems. Before sending him to En- gland, the emperor honored him with title ‘Raja.’ But, East India Company did not agree with the emperor. Therefore, Rammohan did not accept the title. But, still he took 70 thousand rupees for travel expenses from royal treasure and went to England. Raja Rammohan Rai reached England and fought the case of Akbar Shah, he also presented the appeal letter prepared in favor of Lord William Bentinck against the Hindus appeal of Bengal. He also gave witness on judicial arrangements and goods transport method from India in front of a parliament committee. Later he went to France from England. This was the last Europe trip of Rammohan. He passed away on 27th September 1833 in the famous city Bristol of England. Raja Rammohan Rai was not only a social reformer, thinker and a religious person but he was also a politician. He was first an Indian who had understood the importance of newspapers with a political perspective and tried to get the best out of it. Therefore, he published Bengali and Persian newspa- pers. His Persian newspaper was circulated both in Iran and middle Asia. He was the first Indian who had un- derstood the American freedom fight and France revo- lution in the true sense. He had interest in those for- eigners who sacrificed their lives for the sake of inde- pendence. He was the first Indian who gave the correct direc- tion to the country and the society. He had brought magnificent changes in social and political life. His mind and soul was filled with Indian patriotism. A wise, pure hearted and intelligent patriot and social reformer like him are born once in ages. His life is like a pillar of light for all Indians. ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 51 -Suniti Mund Lala Lajpat Rai was known as Lion of Punjab. He was indeed the lion not only for Punjab but entire India. His voice was like soon of a lion. The British government used to shiver with the roar of Lala Lajpat Rai just like the wild animals of forest do with the roar of lion. Lalaji was born on 28 th January 1865 in Jagraon village of Ludhiana district. His father was Radhakrishna and mother was Gulab Devi. The thoughts of parents played an important role in character building of young Lajpat Rai. He once wrote – ‘I have inherited generosity, truthfulness and helping nature from my mother. The religious nature developed inside me due to her. My father has played equally important role in building my life. I have gained patriotism and sacrificing nature for the country from him. Both, my father and mother have been my Gurus.’ Lalaji obtained his primary education from his fa- ther. He was a sharp student with good intelligence and used to stand first in his class. He passed out middle school with good marks at the age of 13 years. He obtained very good marks and was qualified for schol- arship. Lalaji passed his high school examination in 1880. He went to Lahore for his graduation after completing high school. He passed both intermediate and law ex- aminations in 1885. He was very studious and hard working student. He started his practice in Hisar (Haryana). He opened school for weak students and vocational school for women. He went to Lahore and continued his prac- tice and simultaneously joined the freedom struggle. He earned both name and fame as a lawyer in Lahore along with lot of wealth. Lalaji used to say, ‘Youth of India, mother India is being tortured by foreigners. Be strong and free the mother India from foreign rule. India was hit by famine on one side and plague on the other side in 1896-97. Millions of people died due to this. Lalaji contributed a lot with the help of society. He boldly condemned Christians against conversion and stopped it. He went to England in 1905 along with the dignitaries and gave speeches for India’s independence. He also wrote several ar- ticles. He expressed in front of the nation that freedom cannot be gained by asking or pleading. A physical struggle was nec- essary in order to gain it. The leaders of this party were with Lokmanya Tilak. He strongly spoke during the congress conference in 1906 and said that we have to get rid of this begging nature. He also started a revolution on the question of taxation on farmers in Punjab. As a result, Lalaji was asked to leave the country and sent to Mandla jail. Muslim league was involved in communal riots in 1925. It was also demanding India’s division. Lalaji de- cided to unite Hindus in order to stop this division. Hindu Mahasabha was formed with his inspiration. Lalaji also worked to stop untouchability and women education. Simon commission was set up in India in 1928. Congress passed a resolution and declared boycott of Simon commission. It was opposed and boycotted through meetings and processions wherever it went. The commission reached Lahore station on 30 th Octo- ber 1928, a large crowd gathered outside the station to boycott it. Lalaji was the leader of this group. Police stopped the procession outside and suddenly started lathicharge. A white soldier hit Lalaji on the or- ders of Police chief Sanders. Lalaji was hurt on his chest and he fell down. On being hurt by British sol- diers, Lalaji said, ‘the sticks that are hurting my body will work like nails downfall of British rule.’ Lalaji was immediately taken to the hospital and lots of efforts were made to save his life. But, all in vain. He left this world forever on 17 th November 1928 and the lion that used to roar, became silent forever. The efforts and sacrifices made by Lalaji to free India will always be remembered by Indians and in- spire us towards patriotism. 28 January: Lala Lajpat Rai Anniversary ; YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ; 52 A very small Endeavour started under the name of Divya Yog Mandir Trust with the aim of providing a disease free, peaceful and healthy life has today become the center of faith for millions of people to reap the benefits of good health and express their love for the country.

General M.M.Lakheda said at Patanjali Yogpeeth that Swami Ramdev is using Yog as weapon and fighting against diseases at interna- tional level. Millions of people have become disease free and they have got new life. Swami Ji has taken the initiative to make the entire world healthy with Yog and Ayurved. This is indeed commendable. The governor shared this view after visiting Patanjali Yogpeeth and said that people are migrating from their native places in search of livelihood. Poverty, starvation and unem- ployment are the national problems today and these prob- lems are shameful for the nation. Swami Ji is trying to overcome these problems at his own level. We have to fight them out because nobody will come from outside to help us. Revered Swami Ji Maharaj has setup biggest mega Food Park at Haridwar and has generated employment Acharya Balkrishna Ji Maharaj garlanding Governor of Mizoram, M.M.Lakheda at Patanjali opportunities to people of Uttarakhand and given a spe- cial place on the world map. Governor remembered the past and said that I am born and brought up in Uttarakhand, I remember this place and how could I miss my visit to Patanjali Yogpeeth after coming here? The Yog Ganga is flowing from this place and providing good health to everybody. He said that including Yog curriculum in the school syllabus will make the future generation disease free and cultured, at the same time it will also give them a new direction. The work that Swami Ji Maharaj is doing is for national benefit along with individual benefit. This will make them disease free and healthy and give back the status of world mentor to India. Acharya Balkrishna expressed his views on this occasion that Yog, Ayurved and natural cure are being used under the guidance of Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj. A world class natural cure center has been established at Yog Gram with the objective of providing good health to people. There is a wonderful combination of tradi- tional and new natural cure method at this center. Hon- orable Governor inaugurated the Yog teaching and train- ing department, Yog Sandesh department, Yog research and development, dental treatment, radiology depart- ment, pathology center, library, Panchakarma and re- search department, eye and research department in the first phase of Patanjali Yogpeeth and Divya nursery in the second phase.

We want to fill the hearts of each and every person with national spirit. We want to use our entire energy for the national progress by practicing Yog everyday and develop our internal self. We want to arouse the souls with Yog and take forward the pious mission of national awareness. Questions arise in the minds of several people regarding the relation between Yog and national development? We want to clarify that national development is a dream without internal development. Therefore, we will develop the internal soul through Yog and dedicate the whole day for the national development and progress. Yog duty and national dutyare not contrarybut complimentarytoone another. The India pride mission is to create 100 percent Yog awareness, 100 percent organization of patriotic people, 100 percent boycott of foreign companies and promote indigenous goods, promote 100 percent voting and 100 percent national thinking and make India a healthy, prosperous and virtuous nation. These are the vows of the members who want to achieve this. This will alone bring in newfreedomand newarrangement, which will make great India and put a full stop to the corruption, which is the biggest problemof the nation. Only a yogi can remain disassociated with the greed of wealth, power, position and luxury. Hence, it is mandatory for everyYog teacher, worker and member of this India pride mission to be a yogi. The reason is that internal strife is created if a person is not a yogi and this leads to dishonesty, corruption, violence, crime, insensitiveness, foolishness, unawareness, non control, impurityand lethargy. We have started the work of nation building along with Yog awareness and associated Yog duty with national duty. But, we have not created controversy but it is acceptance of Yog in a mighty form. We do not have any doubt, confusion, illusion or misconception with respect to Yog duty and national duty. Our intention and principles are clear and our objective is to unite and develop the divided India. Yog means to unite. We want to organize the whole nation through the mediumof Yog. We want to make every individual of the nation the first yogi. When every individual of the nation will be a yogi, then he will be a person of strong character, he will be a patriot, teacher and healer, a thoughtful chartered accountant, he will be a hardworking politician, an aware farmer, a virtuous soldier, security personnel and policeman, a dutiful officer, worker and labor, he will be an energetic entrepreneur and businessman, a patriot artist and journalist, a scientist dedicated to the national interest, he will be a healthy, laborious and experienced senior citizen and a sensitive and wise judge, legislative member because we strongly believe that national progress is not possible without self progress. We will practice Yog ourselves and make others do it and make develop good citizens. We will make mother an ideal mother. We will develop ideal mothers and fathers and lay the foundation of such culture and values that will give us progeny like Rama and Krishna. Aperson who will involve in introspection through Yog will see only society, nation, entire universe and living beings within himand then he will not deceive anybody, he will not involve in violence because he will realize that speakinglies, practicingdishonestyanddeceivingothers is like deceivingone self. Internal bickering is the reason for corruption, dishonesty, immorality, non governance, insensitiveness prevailing in the country. We will reestablish the sage culture on this earth through Yog revolution and create happiness, prosperity, peace andprogress. India pride trust was established on 5 January 2009. Millions of Yog teachers, patriots and laborious people have alreadygot associatedwiththis missionwithinone year. You canalsoplayanactive role inthis mission.
