What we see & believe and what is the truth

1. We see and believe that whatever the media says is correct. But the truth behind is the media can divert the mind of the society in whatever way they want. It is being operated by a group of people who are operated by money.

2. We see and believe that the advertisements are focusing on the wellness of the society. But the truth behind is the focus of these corporate is to collapse the health of the society.

3. We see and believe that with good dresses and chappals we can lead a good life. Bu the truth is we need good food for a good life. So the focus has to be on agriculture and not on industries which pollute the earth and produce clothes and chappals.

4. We see and believe that the RO water we get is good for our health. But the truth is, it is very harmful for our health.

5. We see and believe that the A1 milk from the jersey cows is good for our health. But the truth behind is only A2 milk (from deshi cows) is good for our health and A1 milk is poisonous.

6. We see and believe that the investment on land through real estate makes the economy of the family and country better. But the truth is in the namve of investment, we are stopping agriculture and making the agriculture land to a waste land.

7. We see and believe the education system today is very good. But the truth is the focus is only making money and not giving knowledge. From childrens's uniforms and books to their degrees everything has a focus behind as making money.

8. We see and believe that the medical system and the hospitals are to save the people from diseases. But the truth is their focus is making more diseases and create regular customers.

9. We see and believe that the respect in the society is for the relevant people. But the truth is the teachers who create the future generation,soldiers who protect the nation and farmers who are like axle of the country are not being respected.

10. We see and believe that the system of selling is too good for us. But the truth is with the big shopping malls, we are forced to buy things which they sell. but the actual needs of us are not met and local community's productions are suppressed. 

The secret practice in upanishads and tantra

There are 18 Yogopanishads and all of them talk about Sohum meditation as an important meditation of salvation.

As per vedanta upanishads also union of "sah" (paramatma) and aham (jeevathma) is "sohum" which helps to reach the ultimate.

In Tantra 'sa' is the beejakshara of "Shakthi" and 'ha' is the beejakshara of "Shiva". So the union of Shakthi and Shiva is "Sohum". We can say this in science as the union of matter and energy.

As per all the darshanas and shastras including thantra, sohum is the ultimate meditation.

So do this practice daily.

Horrifying things to be noted today

Following are the important areas for a nation's growth. But all these things are going through a tough time. 

Agriculture is being destroyed (vyavasaya)
By various factors such as 100 days working scheme, industrialization,
Tasmac the work force is diverted.

No value is given for their products. 

The good agricultural lands are being sold as plots.

Dairy is diverted, (gaushala)
By destroying deshi cows, by promoting Jersey cows which causes many diseases and no quality output. Even the deshi cows give birth to jersey cows because no natural breeding is done. Injection given the veterinary hospitals are of Jersey cows only.  

Dairy system is a supporting system of agriculture which is going through a tough time.

Education system is exploited (Vidya)
High fees and no quality.
No respect to teachers.
Teachers are paid very low.
Too many unwanted colleges and no relevant work.
For the available work no qualified people.
Money can give degree.

Medical system is exploited (Vaidya)
Focuses on money.
Too many tests and no proper diagnosis.
No respect for the traditional medical systems such sidhha, Ayurveda etc.
Wrong treatments and death.
Many diseases to create regular customers.
No complete cure for any of the diseases.

Business is exploited (Vyapara)

Small industries are destroyed.
Lot of harmful to health, products are sold by big companies.
Money is the only focus and no focus on quality products.
No business ethics.
Workers are treated as slaves.
Small merchants cannot survive.

Defence system is exploited (Suraksha)
They are paid low. No respect.
Not even eligible for applying loans

Vyavasaya - gives quality food to get a healthy society, 

Vidya - gives quality education for a  good community, 

Vaidya - Helps to protect the health of the society,

Vyapara - Helps the good things to reach the people

Unless focus is given to improve the situation of these, growth of our nation will be a question mark for ever.

Diabetes is a myth

Reversing Type II diabetes

Myth -

Diabetes is not hereditary,  it cannot be controlled controlled by exercise or medication.

We believe that it is due to excessive sugar in blood and if it is under control, we think that we are safe.

Truth -

Carbohydrate is converted to sugar starch and fiber and can be broken down to glucose in our body. Insulin is the key to open the cells in our body to put this inside. 

 Sugar means insulin resistance and the medicines force the muscle, organs and fat cells to accept more sugar. 

Why  cells refuse insulin that "I don't need sugar anymore" ?

Because they are already having enough sugar in them. 

Cells are stuffed with more sugar by the medicines and are suffering.  

Normal medicines taken are - Malformin, Glyciphage, Glycomet, Actose, Glipzide, Glyburide and finally to insulin injections. 

After all these medicines what happens is -

1. Kidney becomes weak
2. Eyes deteriorate
3. Heart problem
4. Numbness in hands and feet

When the sugar is pushed in the liver, Pancreas, muscles and fat cells, that will cause severe damage to them. No dietary fat will cause fatty liver but sugar does. So after sugar, fatty liver and then varieties of damage of the organs. Vitamin B12 supplement is very important.

Steps to reverse 

Step 1 : Make dietary changes. 

Stop putting in sugar, in all the forms. We cannot solve the dietary disease without changing the diet.

1. Half the plate to have vegetables
2. ii. In the other 1/2, 1/3rd should be ghee, 1/3rd should be carbohydrate and 1/3rd to be proteins. 

• Ghee is a good fat and so it should be doubled. This gives a feeling of contentment and takes time to digest. 
• Chew for 33 times or for 10 mins because undigested food will be come sugar fast.

Below are some of the food we think as OK, but are NOT.

1. Wheat in the market are hybrid and is having high sugar. i. 
2. Digestive biscuits, have high sugar.
3. Skimmed milk is very harmful.
4. Diet Coke has high sugar and high chemicals.

What can we eat?

1. Go back to the fruits which your grandmother could recognize.
2. Dheshi cow's  organic fat is good for health. Means Local/Deshi cow's milk products.
3. Green leafs (Spinach etc) are very good
4. Say NO to oats. Because it is processed.
5. Don't drink juice, but eat the fruits with the fibres.
6. Eat more nuts
7. Natural sugar will decay fast and the processed food will have artificial sugar in it.   
8. Bitter ones like methi seeds and karela are good.
9. Fruits like pomegranate and papaya are good
10. Sweet potato is better than potato.
11. Millet is good. Stick to those which our ancestors ate. 
12. Deshi ghee or cold pressed oils from seeds such as peanuts, mustard and coconut are good to use.

Step 2 : Intermittent fasting

 Burn away the excess sugar stored in the cells.

This is proven by WHO for being young. 

Human body is meant to fast and feast. 

Never eat six meals, more than 3 meals is harmful. 

Eat only three meals with nothing in between. 

How to do fasting?

1. Start with 12 hrs of fasting, between dinner and breakfast. 
2. Tea without milk in the morning is very very important.
3. Slowly change that to Dinner and 8 pm and then the lunch at 12 pm. This is the best possible medicine.

How fasting helps?

• When the body starves, it pulls sugar out of the cells and organs for energy.
• Liver and pancreas can no longer be fatty.
• They begin to secrete hormones properly again.

How to prevent acidity during fasting?

• Drink alkaline water early morning before starting the fasting. Note that drinking plain water will not help. (Alkaline water preparation - Put a piece of lemon and 2 long pieces of cucumber in one liter of water and keep it aside for 12 hrs. After that the water is alkaline)
• Mixture of turmeric powder and amla powder in 1: 4 ratio put in one glass of warm water can help in reducing sugar and acidity.
• With water little lemon and honey can be taken during fasting.

Step 3 : Weekly once take oil bath.

Heat in the body is one of the main reasons for sugar. To reduce the heat, like our ancestors take oil bath. (In tamil diabetes is called as "Neerazhivu noi", death of water in the body, which means high heat.

1. Weekly twice or once put oil on the whole body or at least on the head.
2. Keep it for one hour.
3. After that take a nice bath with sheekakkai or shampoo.  

Better to use hot sesame oil which can cool the body well.
