Summary of Rajiv Dixit - Ayurveda
I.e. know your body and recognize/understand your food. This much is enough to take care of
almost all ailments.
According to Mharishi Waghbat the highest discovery/invention is the science of food and cooking
that was done in India of yore.
The following Sootras are based on the two books written by Mharishi Waghbhat which contained
over 7000 such sootra/formulae. He lived for 135 years and reportedly took ICHCHHA MRITYU, i.e.
shed the body consciously and out of his own will.
Out of these 7000, the below, around 50, sootras are the most relevant for modern day lifestyles
and related ailments.
SOOTRA 1 While cooking if the food doesnt get contact of air and sunlight then this food will work
like slow poison in the system.
This means that pressure cooker is very bad for health. While cooking in pressure cooker the grains
get broken and thus become soft. This does not mean getting they are getting cooked. So the food
thus prepared is useless for the body.
The molecules get damaged and hence the food becomes useless for the body.
Diabetes, Bronchitis, TB, Asthma etc. 48 ailments have been directly traced to pressure cooker by
modern scientists at CDRI/CSIR labs.
Best utensils for cooking are clay, kaansa and peetal or bronze in that order.
Researchers at the CDRI Lab in Lucknow (a central govt. body) have found that after cooking say
Arhar daal in Clay pots 100% of the micro nutrients originally present in the daal are still there, 93%
are left after cooking in kaansa utensils and 87% after cooking in peetal or bronze utensils.
Whereas after cooking the same daal in a pressure cooker only 13% of these micro nutrients are left.
Essentially what is left is worthless and unusable by the body.
Refrigerator is also very harmful for health.
Solar cooker is the best cooker. Those types of solar cooker should be used which have open vessels.
Aluminium vessels are common in solar cookers and should never be used.
The ash left after dead body is burned contains these same 18 micro nutrients the same as soil. No
other natural thing contains all 18.
We could have produced aluminium thousands of yrs ago. Our shastras have the techniques. But we
used clay pots since it is the best from every angle.
The longer an item takes to ripen in the field, the longer it will take to cook at home. Pressure
cooking it will make the food useless for the body.
Nature has designed everything with enormous attention to detail. E.g. the top of the plants are
eaten by humans and birds, middle part is for animals and roots are for the earth herself.
Chronic diabetics who started doing all their cooking in clay pots sugar levels came down from 480
odd to 180 odd in less than a year.
DAY TWO
The TVS group family cooks all its food in clay pots. So does the Ambani family (clay tava).
SOOTRA 2 Any food should be consumed within 48 minutes of cooking. The body is best able to
utilize the nutrition from food when it is consumed in this time frame.
This 48 minute calculation is very much there in Jain Darshan.
Stale food should not even be given to animals. In a year there is only 1 day when the body needs
stale food. In our culture we have a festival called Basoda on this same day when we were
supposed to eat stale food.
The concept of warm/hot food does not exist in western countries. They dont know how to make
rotis. The average age of bread is around 90days in Europe and USA.
SOOTRA 3 - CHAKKI Wheat flour should be eaten in a max of 15 days of being ground. Makki,
chana, jowar etc should be consumed in 7 days.
Survey done on a few villages. 90 ladies were using Chakki and not a single one had a caesarian
delivery, no pains in body, diabetes, BP etc are not there.
Whereas those women who are buying atta from mkt are facing all these ailments. Their family
members also face the ailments.
The main quality of the Uterus is its elasticity. Chakki ensures this elasticity and hence no tumors and
caesarians will happen. Chakki can be used till 7th month of pregnancy.
The very quality of health of caesarian children is much poorer compared to children born naturally.
Physical health, mental health and intelligence, imaginative ability are of a different level for children
born naturally.
Around 45 yrs of age women will start facing many complications (depression, tension, sadness,
pains, hot flashes) due to menopause. The best way to keep these under control is Chakki usage.
SOOTRA 4 Physical labour should not reduce till age of 60 yrs.
Below 18 children should labour via play. 18 to 60 productive labour. 60 plus labour should go on
decreasing.
Regular usage of Chakki and Sil-Batta are the best preventives for menopausal complications.
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a curse. It causes uncontrolled weight gain.
Chakki is best option to reduce paunch. Gym never does this in the long run. This is also due to the
fact that any fast exercises/movements will worsen Vaata hence paunch will only increase in the
long run. India being a Vaata pradhaan land, we need slow movements in order to keep Vaata under
control.
Mixie also destroys most nutrients due to high speed and friction.
Bhilwara experiment with Chakki atta. Reduction in acidity, pains, sleep, BP etc are reducing over a
period. Joy is increasingJ. Even if over-eating rotis there is no gas etc.
The main reason for our health problems are the changes in our kitchens.
SOOTRA 5 Geographical conditions should be considered to decide way of life. India is a hot
country and hence Vaata is predominant. 75% ailments are vaata, 15% are Pitta and 10% are Kapha.
E.g. Running is not a good exercise in India. Most of the Indian running athletes have worn out their
knees by the time they reach 40 yrs of age.
Europe and USA are opposite, they are cold and hence Kapha is bad there. They need high speed
activity to keep Kapha under control.
Pitta usually stays balanced.
Changes that are happening in your geography are good for you but adopting changes from other
places isnt good for us.
If living in south India one should eat rice more than wheat. The mud in south holds water for longer
while in Rajasthan soil is sandy and doesnt hold water. Therefore Rajasthan soil is suitable for
growing wheat and not rice whereas South Indian soil is apt for rice and not wheat. Hence one
should eat stuff that grows in the area one is living in, in order to stay healthy.
DAY THREE
SOOTRA 1 - Bhojanante Visham Vaari drinking water at the end of a meal is akin to drinking poison.
It kills the Jathaaragni (that aspect of prana or energy which enables the body to digest food)
thereby making the food rot inside the system instead of getting digested. This in turn leads to
excess acid and gas being produced in the system and a very vicious cycle starts. Mharishi Waghbhat
has identified 103 ailments that occur as a result of drinking water after having eaten food.
The minimum gap between food and water should be between 1.5 to 2.5 hrs. This also varies based
on geographic and other conditions and the duration is higher in the mountains and lower in plains
and hot areas. This is because the bodys ability to digest food varies with the ambient conditions.
Water drunk before food should be drunk at least 40 minutes before eating food.
To clean the mouth and throat after food only one or two sips of warm/gunguna water can be had.
If really thirsty, one can have fresh juice of seasonal fruits after morning meal and buttermilk/chhaas
after lunch. Milk can be had after dinner. Though these also contain mostly water, the properties are
completely different and they actually help digestion and the body instead of hurting it.
SOOTRA 2 Always drink water sip by sip like one drinks hot tea.
SOOTRA 3 - Drink water first thing in the morning. It is to be had warm at body temp and should be
sipped like hot tea so that max possible saliva goes into the stomach.
Only if you are drinking water kept in a copper pot it need not be warmed up as it already has same
quality as warm water. Mud pot water is also to be warmed up.
SOOTRA 4 - Never drink cold water. It should always be Warm/gunguna or at body temp.
Paan to be had without kattha (brown paste smeared on pan leaf) so that you dont spit out the
juice/laar. Paan leaf should be kasaila i.e. kadva. The bitter it is the better. Desi paan is darker and
bitterer.
WATER - Water should always be drunk warm/gunguna. i.e. at the same temperature as the body.
In case you are regularly taking in water kept in copper pot then you should stop for a couple of
weeks after 3 mths of continuous usage.
Drinking cold water leads to decrease in blood supply to various organs. Over a period of time this
leads to the weakening and hence failure of various organs and causes probs like heart attack,
kidney failure, brain hemorrhage etc.
Drinking chilled water leads to severe constipation. Large intestine shrinks causing various other
complications. This is applicable to other cold foods as well.
Drink water first thing after waking up in morning. Below 18 and above 60 shud drink only 1.5 to 2
glasses while others should drink upto 1.25 ltrs. i.e. min 3 glasses. This is the only water one should
drink without feeling thirsty. Ghoont should be smallest. Try this for 6 mths and see the changes in
health. Fresher, lighter, sleep will improve, digestion, pains, Heart
Tumbler is an import, it is ekrekhiye which is not good. Lota is much better. Water takes the
properties of its holding object and solutes. Lota is a sphere hence its surface tension is less. This is
better for body. Well water is much better. Sadhus dont drink water if its not from a well. Main
property of water is cleansing. This is possible if the water you drink is of low surface tension.
Example of milk used for cleaning skin. Same happens with intestines.
Choona in paan is vaat naashak while Paan is pitta naashak. Max choona should be 1gm only. Saunf,
clove, rose mix (gulkand) should be added to paan. Supari and kattha should not be added.
7. As a general rule the darker the colour of a natural thing the more effective it is as medicine.
Jamun, tomato etc should be eaten a lot as they are dark in colour and hence helpful.
Anything with fat will help the jatharagni and digestion will speed up.
LAAR or SALIVA
Morning laar is very valuable wounds of people with diabetes are also cured by this. Even
gangrene has been cured by this. So is conjunctivitis cured.
Tedhi aankh, i.e. squint is also cured with this.
Dark circles under eyes maalish with morning laar. Almost all skin ailments can be
treated with this. Burn marks, eczema and psoriasis can also be cured by this.
All animals use saliva to treat their wounds.
All the active ingredients of mud that are essential for the body are also available in saliva.
DAY FOUR
SOOTRA 1 Fix time for food. Our body is not made to eat anything at any time. This time needs to
be in accordance with the timing of JATHARAAGNI.
Jatharaagni is at highest for 2.5 hours after sunrise. This will depend upon your location. This is the
time to have the biggest meal of the day.
Its best to have your lunch in this time window for maximum benefit.
Around noon one can have a lighter meal or juice, fruits, chhaas etc.
Evening meal should be had while sun is still out. Once sun sets jatharaagni becomes dormant.
Best to have dinner upto 40 minutes before sunset.
In the night only a liquid is to be taken. Best is milk.
This is extremely important for patients of diabetes, asthma, vaat ke rog. Within 3 months you will
find significant improvements in your health. Sugar, cholesterol etc respond miraculously within 3
months.
Different organs work best at different times of the day. e.g. heart is working hardest 2.5 hrs before
Brahma Muhoort. i.e. between 1.30 till about 4am. Maximum heart attacks happen in this duration.
Max heart attacks happen in this time duration. This list is available in RDs books.
If you are eating again in the noon, then it should be lighter than lunch (or morning meal). Dinner
should be even lighter.
All the heavy foods like stuffed parathaas, sweets etc should be had in the morning meal.
What you like best you should eat in the morning. So that you can eat your fill. This will ensure you
are mentally satisfied as well as physically. This is of extreme importance. If you are fulfilled with the
food you are eating, the Pineal gland will be most active and you will stay healthier as well as
happier.
Those who are not mentally satisfied with food that they are eating get many mental/psychological
problems in due course of time. Mental tension, depression can be an outcome of this. 27 types of
ailments can result out of this.
All diurnal jeev jantu eat their meals early in the morning as far as possible.
Dr. Ravindranath Shanbagh has tried to make monkeys fall ill for almost 15-17 years. He has tried
everything possible to get a monkey to fall ill, including injecting etc all types of viruses and bacteria
into the monkeys body but monkey ko kuchh nahin hota hai J Hanumaan ji ki jai J J
Monkey has the best RH factor in all living beings. We are also comparing our RH factor to that of a
monkey. Dr. Shanbagh has inferred that this phenomenal ability is primarily due to the fact that a
monkey eats a full stomach early in the mornings. He started asking his patients to eat their biggest
meals in the morning and these patients all recorded significant improvements in their health from
serious diseases.
Breakfast is not needed. It should be replaced by a heavy full meal i.e. lunch. Also, it is not an Indian
requirement based on our jal vaayu but is an import from the West. Just 2 generations back all of us
used to have the biggest meal first thing in the morning.
SOOTRA 2 - Never eat opposite products together. Doodh and dahi, any item made of these two
should not be taken together.
Doodh and dahi and doodh and gud dont go together.
Honey and ghee are poison if taken together. This can be taken together only when cow mutra is
used to counter negative effect.
Gud and ghee go well together.
Kathal/Jackfruit never with milk.
Onion and milk are poison together. max probs of skin will happen due to this combo.
All sour fruits dont go with milk except aamla. Even mango should be taken with milk only when it is
completely ripe and sweet.
Dwidal daals and dahi. Exception is to heat dahi, baghaar ke (ajwain, heeng ka chhaunk). Specially
applicable to Urad daal. Urad ke saath baghaar ke bhi naa khaayen. In experimenting with this Rajiv
Dixits BP went up by upto 25%!!!! If this is done regularly it will obviously lead to heart and BP
problems.
Dahi vadaa is hence taboo. Agar dahi vadaa khaanaa hi hai to moong daal ka vadaa banaye.
Extremely important in order to stay healthy.
SOOTRA 3 partake of food only sitting on the floor in Sukhasana. Sitting in this asana makes the
Jatharaagni teevra. Sitting on a chair reduces the teevrata and standing up reduces it completely.
Keep the food plate a little bit higher above the floor.
For people who do a lot of physical work the best option is to eat in a squatting position.
This posture will help in reducing the paunch. Dining table will make the paunch grow bigger.
SOOTRA 5 Never rest after dinner for at least 2 hours. This is because sun has set and hence the
biochemistry etc is completely different now.
Sleeping soon after dinner will invite diseases like heart attack, diabetes, BP etc.
SOOTRA 6 In case you are unable to follow both these sootras then sit in Vajra asana for atleast 10
minutes after meals. This is the only asana allowed after food according to yoga.
SOOTRA 7 Your Mana and chitta should be shaant i.e. relaxed and peaceful. One way to
achieve this is to pray or utter a mantra.
SOOTRA 8 While lying down head should always be pointing towards sun i.e. east.
The next best is South.
Never sleep with head pointing towards North. North is the direction of death for sleeping. Though
it is very good for various other activities.
Householders should keep head towards South while sleeping while Brahmchaaries should keep
head towards East.
SOOTRA 9 take your weight divide by 10 and then subtract 2 from the result. This many liters of
water can be had per day.
ii.
Juices
PITTA best food item is cow ghee. This is the best to keep pitta balanced. (ghee made from buffalo
milk is only recommended for body builders and athletes).
Second best is Ajwain. Noon food should have ajwain since it balances Pitta which is higher in
noon/day.
Jeera is next best to control Pitta, black jeera is better.
Heeng also keeps Pitta under control.
Dhaniya both green and dry work equally well.
Total 108 items for controlling Pitta. List in Gambir ROGON KI CHIKITSA
Examples of Pitta problems are acidity, ulcers, indigestion, taste of food in mouth for many hours
after food, Dakar, hichki are mostly Pitta related.
KAPHA The best food item to control Kapha is gud and next best is honey.
Gud - When Kapha is out of balance Phosphorus will be deficient. Gud has very high content of
Phosphorus. Sugar case juice also has Ph but Gud has higher content. But maximum amount is found
in Kakvi or Raab or liquid gud the stage before solid gud.
Honey - Next best is Honey.
Saunth Dried ginger powder. Saunth is 100 times more effective than ginger.
Paan very good to control Kapha. The darker the leaf the better it is. Dont add Katthaa. Other
ingredients can be
i.
Saunth
ii.
Gud
iii.
Gulkand
iv.
Saunf
v.
Lavang or clove
the body. Hence to balance this same proportion Trifala was given. This can also be used in Cancer
treatment.
Trifala reduces all the three doshas simultaneously.
Morning either with Gud or Honey
i.
the body.
Night Milk or warm water.
i. It will work as RECHAK. It cleanses the digestive system as well as
the rest of the body. Any kind of constipation can be cured with this.
Chawanprash is much lower in effectiveness compared to Trifala.
One big teaspoon is to be taken in morning for losing weight. One small teaspoon in the night for
Rechak use.
Each of the above three fruits balance all the three doshas.
Amla is very good for losing excess weight. It is the best anti-oxidant in the natural world.
Give a gap of a couple of weeks after taking continuously for upto 3 months. This helps the body to
stay un-accustomed and avoid side effects.
Ailments :
Night Bawaseer, Mood Vyadhi or Piles, Bagandhar. Digestion related ailments night
Morning to lose weight. Or to treat ailments due to Kapha.
In the night to be taken after food while before food in morning. 40 mins before food in morning.
DAY SIX
TRIFALA - should always be taken with milk, gud or honey. Taking with water is taking alone and
should not be taken alone for too long i.e. 90 days.
METHI Vata and Kapha destroyer. Increases Pitta.
Soak it in a cup of warm water. In the morning chew the seeds and drink the water. Its very
important to chew it while eating as it produces large amount of saliva.
Pickles having methi are very useful for vaata problems. Aushadhi ka effect is higher on the pickle
than that of the fruit. Methi is pickle is much more effective than that taken in water since it is kept
for many months. It works much better with oil upto 20 times more effective. This is also
applicable for Ajwain.
CHOONA is even better than Methi for controlling Vaata. Controls all problems caused by Vaata. It
also replenishes Calcium in the body. Calcium deficiency causes all kinds of pains, in muscles and
bones, all bone problems, many blood related problems, Kapha problems are also caused by its
deficiency.
Calcium activates most other micro nutrients. Without it most other micro nutrients wont be able
to work.
Milk, curd, butter milk, ghee, orange, mausambi, angoor, mango, banana. Calcium can easily be
absorbed from these food items. After 40-45 years of age bodys ability to digest calcium reduces.
This is especially true to women. Now it needs to be taken separately hence take Choona regularly.
Hence the tradition of eating Paan in this culture. It is prevalent across the country without
exception.
DAAL CHINI Cures all problems related to Vaata and Kapha. More effective as a powder rather than
leaf or bark.
Grind it with Gud and eat it. Drink warm water afterwards. Honey ke saath mardan karke lick kariye
aur warm water peejiye. Takes care of upto 50 ailments.
COW Is one of the most magical things made available to us by nature. He praises gau mootra very
highly. It helps all three doshas. Vaata and Kapha it cures completely and also cures Pitta if taken
with some ayurvedic medicines. It has all the 18 odd micronutrients that are available in mud (Jersey
cow has only 3).
All the 148 ailments can be cured by gau mootra. This is the only thing with such a possibility. Have
done thousands of experiments on this and found mind boggling results. It has 18 micro nutrients
that are essential for the body. The only other place where all 18 found together is soil. Best time to
take gau mootra is morning. If very ill take upto 100ml in a day best to take it twice a day on an
empty stomach. Rest of us can take upto 50mm once a day on empty stomach.
Skin ailments are usually caused by Sulphur deficiency. Psoriasis has been cured, eczema, khuzli,
khaaj etc were cured.
It cures TB much earlier compared to allopathy. It never recurs if treated with gau mootra. Studies
were conducted on patients at AIMS. If taking allopathy, its speed of cure is increased manifold
when combined with gau mootra.
Joint pains were cured in three weeks.
Cold and cough dama and asthama and TB were cured by this very swiftly.
When Gau-mootra was given to patients already taking allopathy, the effectiveness of the medicines
was increased many fold. This is true for almost all serious ailments.
As per contemporary research 48 ailments are cured by completely by gau-mootra. Research on
cancer is going on with tremendous results. Blood cancer is not showing so much improvement. A
large hospital has been set up in Valsaad to cure cancer with Gau-Mootra. (Throat, Esophagus and
stomach cancers are already showing huge improvements).
According to research deficiency of Curcumin leads to cancer i.e. growth of tumor and later cancer.
This is found in ample quantity in cow urine in a highly digestible form.
Only a cow which roams around given useful urine. The urine of a cow that stays tied up is not
useful.
Organic Agriculture cotton has gone up to 7 quintal per acre from 2-3 earlier, wheat from 12
quintal to 24-25 quintal, rice from 15-17 quintal to 30 quintal, sugarcane from 8 feet high to 14 feet,
recovery from 8% to 14%-15%. Gud made from gobar as fertilizer sells for 70/kg in the international
market. Only India can produce this.
In our culture cow is always referred to as mother. It has been said that a cow has 33 types of
devatas in its body. Gobar main Lakshmi mootre Dhanvantari. India as 17 crore cows as of 2007
end.
Glucoma, retinal detachment and cataract etc all can be cured using gau mootra. Use gau mootra
drops in the eye. It works wonders for all eye related ailments as they are mostly due to Kapha.
If ears of children are giving off pus put drops of gau mootra.
For running nose and cold etc for children use gau mootra ghrit.
Gau ghee in nose helps in deep sleep, snores can be reduced.
Hair loss make curd and keep it in copper vessel for 5-6 days, rub it into head and then wash it off
using shikakai. Wash hair with gau mootra once a month for long term health of hair.
Ribs, or chest congestion can be cured by a spoon of gau mootra.
Renal problems are taken care of by gau mootra.
Pitta patients need to increase ghee consumption while taking gau mootra to balance its effect.
Dark circle under eyes, and any other skin problems can be cured.
Its distillate or ark can be used. Ark should only be taken in very small quantities i.e. 1 spoon.
The leftover after making ark is used for making soap, shampoo, floor cleaner etc.
Cow ghee sells for Rs.4000 per kg in Germany etc. They are desperate for this real ghee but dont get
it anywhere.
Gau Panchamrit, gobar, mootra, doodh, ghee, dahi (includes honey or gud) is an elixir for VPK.
DAY SEVEN
DIN CHARYA daily routine should be based on each individuals unique requirements.
SOOTRA TWO
Let them sleep as much as they want. Never stop them from sleeping as it is essential for them.
Upto 10 hrs a day is fine. Its better that the child takes this sleep in two parts.
1 4 yrs minimum sleep of 16 hrs
4 8 yrs min 12 to 14 hrs
8 14 yrs min 8 to 9 hrs
Kapha is heavy or guru and hence if the child needs to sleep more in order to keep the blood
pressure under control. While sleeping BP is lower. Child is under Kapha effect and hence needs to
sleep more to maintain BP.
Children will become irritable and undisciplined if they are not allowed to complete their sleep
quota as their Kapha is out of control.
Studying is only possible in effect of Pitta. When Kapha is bad no one can study.
Area above the heart is Kapha area. Children will frequently catch ailments of this region only. The
best way to take care of this is oil massage. This should be a must. Children should not do any
exercises. They should only play J
Those under Kapha should not exercise, asana or pranayam.
SOOTRA THREE
Oil massage should be of entire body. But head area is most important. Ears should also be
massaged regularly as they are seat of Kapha. Bathing should be done after massage.
Massage till the child starts sweating in the arm pits or forehead.
Things that reduce Kapha should be used for bathing. Eg. Ubtan, Multani mitti, Chana atta, chandan
powder, mota aataa, masoor daal ataa, moong daal attaaa. Finally means that no soap should be
used. It increases Kapha very badly.
Oil can be put into ears. Its also helpful in controlling Kapha.
Eyes are also seat of Kapha. Ghee can be put on eyes. Kaajal is very useful in controlling Kapha (Sau
veer anjan).
SOOTRA FOUR
Children must be given milk, makhan, ghee, oil, gud, dahee, mattha etc.
Maida is absolutely not allowed since it disturbs Kapha.
Makkhan is better than ghee for children.
Ghee things should be given in afternoon as pitta is increasing.
Out of control kapha can make one a criminal and murderer. If under control it promotes love and
harmony.
American children are considered the worst shootouts in schools etc are proof. 10% of Americas
population are children and out of this 10% or 30 lac children are in prisons. This is common for most
western countries. The main reason is out of control Kapha.
Of the total crime happening in these countries upto 65% are being committed by children. Direct
result of out of control Kapha. It leads to violence directly.
Simplest way to keep children safe from all types of negative influences is to let them sleep as much
as they want to.
Morning time for schools is very bad. Its not good for children to wake up early in the morning. As
morning is Kapha time and hence they sleep the deepest sleep. Best time for school to start is
around noon.
Human urine can be used as medicine. Condition is you must be 100% vegetarian. Gau mootra is
much better compared to human urine. Only the 1st urine in the morning is to be used. While
urinating leave the initial and last parts and drink only from the middle part of urine. Helps in around
100 illnesses. Mainly vaata and kapha problems.
DAY EIGHT
Laughing is good if it happens naturally. One should never try to force it or stop it. It is one of the 14
veg of natural forces in the body. This is true for all the other veg.
Sneezing should not be stopped upto 40 types of ailments will come if stopped and upto 14 types if
induced forcefully.
Thirst should also never be stopped. Drinking water quickly causes Hernia and Appendicitis. If you
are above 60 and it can cause Prostrate and Hydrocele. Holding back thirst causes 58 types of
ailments. Drinking water without thirst will also cause problems.
Hunger, when forcefully stopped, causes 103 types of ailments. Starts with acidity and ends with
intestinal cancer!
Fasting is a Kriya to cleanse the body and mind. One needs to follow certain rules for fasting. When
you start feeling that something extra is happening in the body then one can fast. Like after eating
too much one can fast the next day.
a)
b) While fasting one should keep drinking warm water at regular intervals. The extra acid in the
stomach will be diluted by water and excreted via urine else it will burn up/ damage the intestines.
c)
d) Vegetarians should not fast for long periods. While non-vegetarians should always fast for long
periods. Non veg food creates certain changes in the digestive system (reduces acid secretion in
stomach) and hence it is advisable to fast for long periods. All carnivorous animals actually fast for
many days after a full meal.
e) Best way to fast if one has to fast is alternate day fasting and eating. The body gets used to it
over a period of time. Varshitam in Jains is highly respected.
f)
Yawning should also not be stopped. Stopping it is a very bad habit that we have gotten into. The
bodys need is more important.
a)
Never yawn when sitting near those who are more tapasvi or gyani.
Stool is also similar. Upto twice a day is normal. Three is a bit unusual. More than that calls for
expert intervention.
Veerya or Kaama veg (sexual desire) should only be stopped by renunciants. It should never be
stopped by those living in family situations.
SUMMARY OF ALL 8 DAYS
No water after food for min 1.5 hrs. This is best way to lose weight.
Warm water first thing in morning. Morning saliva is very important and should go into the body not
wasted.
Use Lota instead of tumbler. In our society we never had tumblers because lota is much more
scientific. Low surface tension is very important since it reduces pressure levels in the body. Example
of milk to cleanse skin. Similar thing happens in large intestine low tension water pulls out the
debris lodged in the large intestine. This debris causes innumerable ailments.
Water should always be drunk sitting down.
Water should never be drunk cold. It should always be warm. Cold waters surface tension is higher.
It also cools down the stomach hence weakening the rest of the organs since blood supply rushes to
stomach.
In extreme heat clay pots water is allowed.
Eat food sitting down. Always sit in cross legged position.
Opposing things should not be eaten together. Milk-curd, honey-ghee, ghee and gud go well
together, Kathal-milk, milk-citrus fruits except aamla.
Dwidal and curd not to be eaten together. At worst it should be with Chhonk. Same for Chhaas
Morning meal within 2.5 hrs of sunrise. Evening meal before sunset. If hungry during day one can
have gud-chana, gud-moongfali. Too much chikki should be followed by Saunth or ginger.
Should eat locally grown foods. E.g. living in hot area one should not eat much wheat as it grown in
cold weather. Bajra is hot so is rice, jowar. Bajra should be eaten with gud and ghee to balance its
heat.
Asthma is caused by vaat daalchini with honey, gud, eat coconut daily (unique has juice but is
basic).
Boils in mouth means large intestine is not clear. Take warm water in morning from lota. Borax 30
or 200 thrice in water.
