PERSONAL HYGIENCE

Swami Sivananda

One should not suffer from any disease by violating the rules and laws of health and hygiene. The responsibility of maintaining good health rests with every individual. Personal hygiene deals with matters that pertain to the health of the individual. A healthy man only can do good and useful work. A healthy man only can serve humanity. A healthy man only can earn money. A healthy man only can meditate well. Therefore, good health is a great blessing, indeed. He who observes the laws of health and hygiene will be endowed reat blessing, indeed. He who observes the laws of health and hygiene will be endowed with good health.

In all the problems of your life put this question to yourself, “Is this thing going to take me
nearer to the ultimate spiritual attainment, to the achievement of Divine Perfection, or is it going to
slow me down in my progress towards the fulfilment of my inner life?” This will be the criterion. If
a thing takes you towards the worldly life and binds you to the heavy wheels of Samsaric existence,
then reject it; but if it hastens your movement towards the obtainment of God-vision and

God-experience, then adopt it.

Swami Chidananda

Goodness is not sentiment. It is not merely sympathy that you show by emotional outburst. It is an intelligent appreciation of values. You love because you understand. You do not love because you are emotional.

HE MYSTERIOUS VITAMINS

Swami Sivananda

Vitamin B2 is abundant in milk, cereals, pulses, spinach and curd. It keeps man robust and healthy. Vitamin C is very important for the skin. It is abundant in the juices of orange, lemon and tomato. It enriches blood. Absence of this leads to gum- bleeding and skin-diseases. It is also abundant in Amla (Indian gooseberry). It is also found in many vegetables. Vitamin D is an antidote for rickets and osteomalacia. It builds the bones. It is present in milk and butter. It can be had in plenty from sun's rays. Take regularly sun bath. Your body will absorb enough of calcium and phosphorus. It is abundant in ultra-violet rays. It makes the teeth strong and healthy. Vitamin E cures sterility in man and woman. It is found in germinated wheat, whole meal-bread and lettuce.

Take keen interest in your own highest spiritual welfare. No one else here can do that for you — neither father nor mother, neither relative nor friend. All the effort must come from you only.

THE MYSTERIOUS VITAMINS Swami Sivananda Vitamins are mysterious substances found in food, whose chemical compositions are as yet unknown, but whose absence or deficiency is well known to be the cause for serious ailments and disorders. They are indispensible for the nutrition of the body. The vitamins are classified differently according to their actions. Vitamin A is the enemy of germs. It keeps the skin healthy and strengthens eye-sight. Deficiency of vitamin A leads to, blindness. Nursing mothers need it more. It is found in milk, butter and curd. Vitamin B belongs to a complex group. It is abundant in marmite and bran. It is essential for health, strength and general well-being. Absence or deficiency of this leads to many ailments. To God it matters little what you do. All He minds is the spirit in which you do it. Trust in God and do the right. This imparts solace to the heart. - Swami Sivanand Pure and simple food will help you in observing Brahmacharya. Do not read novels. Be moderate in diet. Take cold water bath. Avoid pictures. Do not look at women. Whenever you chance to see them, think that they are the manifestation of the Universal Mother.

This clearly shows that vegetarian food is the natural food of man. It is incorrect to think that animal food is an essential part of man's dietary. Vegetable foods are both cheaper, healthier and cleaner than meat. Eminent doctors have proved that meat is the most favourable food for the development of putrefactive germs in the intestinal canal. Meat-eating has a strong influence over the mind and the senses. It is not conducive to spiritual practices. It makes the mind extrovert and sensual. Therefore, it is good to avoid meat. Take a well-balanced diet. Have healthy kidneys, liver and bowels. Milk is a balanced food. It contains all nutritive principles in a well-balanced proportion. It is rich in energy-giving nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Hence, it is of a very high value. Let a glass of milk serve you as a refresher, rather than tea or coffee. Always use fresh milk, i.e., within five hours of milking. Take care to drink only boiled milk. Pure and simple food will help you in observing Brahmacharya. Do not read novels. Be moderate in diet.

GOLDEN RULE FOR DIETING Swami Sivananda Stunted growth is due to various reasons, the chief of them being malnutrition and want of proper exercise. The diet of modern civilized races is too concentrated and too rich in protein and sugar. Therefore, the intestines do not contain enough roughage matter to stimulate into action. In a natural diet, containing a good proportion of wholemeal bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, this difficulty is removed. Milk, cereals, potatoes, fresh leafy vegetables, juicy fruits and honey, should find a place in your daily diet schedule. Be the conqueror of your mind, the subduer of your desires and a master of your destiny; for you are the master. - Swami Chidananda chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-god-of-mercy-sri-swami-sivananda-ji.html

GOLDEN RULE FOR DIETING Swami Sivananda Use your commonsense. Eat things that are agreeable to your stomach. But do not overstuff yourself. Chew the food well. Remember, the stomach carries no teeth in it. Digestion starts in the mouth through saliva and mastication. Pushing down the food with a cup of water after each mouthful of food hurriedly munched up is highly injurious to the stomach. Eat when you are hungry. Eat slowly and chew the food well. Do not talk while eating. Do not eat late at night. This will disturb your sleep as well as hinder the process of digestion. Take only a light meal at night. This will give you sound sleep.  Love of God is liberating. It will lead you to perennial bliss and immortality. It is Bhakti which will bring about an Eternal Union between you and the Supreme Lord of the Universe. Swami Chidananda What you have enjoyed yourself and what you have given over to others in charity or as gift is really yours. Everything else is of doubtful nature and you are merely a protector thereof. - Swami Krishnananda chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/05/swami-sivananda-quotessivananda76.html

GOLDEN RULE FOR DIETING

Swami Sivananda

The vegetarian diet is the most perfect diet that one can have. The intellect is rendered keen, subtle and pure by vegetarian diet. Vegetarian diet should, however, be well-balanced, and nutritious. He who drinks butter-milk, eats tomatoes and lemons, walks three miles daily, is healthy and attains longevity. As a rule, condiments, tea, coffee, alcohol, foods over-rich in starch, sugar and fat, and all stimulating drinks, are not conducive to good health. Spices and condiments cater to your unnatural cravings, but affects your health. Therefore, do not indulge in them. Do not be a slave to any diet-theory. 

We don�t have to fear either God or devil. We have to fear and have to be concerned about our own actions.
