SUNLIGHT IMPROVES EYESIGHT

Swami Sivananda

Sun is the presiding God for the eyes. It bestows health, vigour and vitality. Sit in the sun in the early morning and evening with your eyes closed. Allow the sun to shine directly on your closed eyelids, for ten minutes. Slowly move your head from side to side. Now come in the shade. Cover the eyes with the palms of your hands for five minutes. Avoid any pressure on the eye-balls. Your eye-sight will improve. Practise this regularly. But do not gaze at the sun with open eyes.,

The secret of all strength, all inner peace, all courage, all protection and safety in this human world is to be rooted in God.

BEST SIX DOCTORS

Swami Sivananda

The best six doctors are sunshine, water, air, diet, exercise and rest. No one can deny this. These doctors do not charge you even a cent. Their treatment is ever free. Get free treatment and be ever happy and healthy. Sun bath is a great tonic. It invigorates you. It gives you Vitamin D and removes all skin diseases. Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant, and costs nothing. It kills all germs. Expose your clothing in the sun daily. Pure air will purify your blood. Pure water gives you good health. Wholesome water and nutritious diet will make you healthy and strong. Never take stale things, overripe or unripe fruits. Be regular in your exercise. Take rest when the body requires it.

Satsanga is absolutely necessary in the attainment of spiritual knowledge and practice of meditation.

- Swami Sivananda

God exists. Nothing exists without God. The whole world is within God. God is the Creator,
Director and the Ruler of this Universe. God exists as the life of your life.
The Higher Self is your friend, guide and philosopher. It guides you with its still small voice

of conscience. The lower mind is your enemy. It keeps you bound to the wheel of Samsara.

HEALTH AND THE ELEMENTS

Swami Sivananda

Use of Water: (1) In the form of hot-baths, cold-baths, vapour-baths, herbal-baths, etc. (2) As a stomach-wash, only when required. (3) By taking a glass of water on getting up from bed and while retiring to bed, and before and after meals. (4) As enema for cleaning the bowels, only when required. Water controls the heat in the body and helps expulsion of impurities through the skin and kidneys. Light and Its Use: Sun-light costs nothing. One should expose one's body to the morning sun, and absorb vitamin D from it. Rickets can be cured by sun-light. Chromopathy can cure many diseases. Electric ray treatment also can cure some diseases. The Use of Earth: Earth contains magnetic currents and many properties of curing diseases. It is used as cold or hot packs. It draws out the poison from the body and cools the system.

Purify your thoughts, through love, celibacy, kindness, non-injury, prayer and meditation.

Eradicate evil qualities and cultivate virtuous qualities. Do not deviate from the path of Truth. You

will attain eternal bliss and peace. May God bless you,

Swami Chidananda

HEALTH AND THE ELEMENTS

Swami Sivananda

This body is composed of the five elements, namely, earth, water, fire, air and ether. It, has a natural power to heal itself. If one helps this power by means of the above five elements, the work of healing is accelerated. The body has the power to assimilate those things that are congenial to it and throw away matter which is foreign to it. It is one's duty to help the body in its efforts to self-heal. How to Utilize Air: (1) By wearing few clothes. (2) By exposing the body to fresh air. (3) By taking morning and evening walks. (4) By keeping the windows fully open in working places and while sleeping as well. (5) By deep breathing exercises. 

Change your perception of things. Look at them as reminders of the Divine, and not as so many things which distract and hide Him. - 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/sri-swami-sivananda-famous.html

VITAL FACTS ABOUT HEALTH Swami Sivananda Though man boasts himself to be civilized, yet when the question of food comes, he makes many unperceptible or open blunders. As a rule, every country has got its own dietetic routine, adjusted according to its climatic needs. The Indians should not discard their usual meal in the morning, say, between 10 and 11 a.m. A heavy lunch at noon in the tropical climate is not advisable. In the afternoon, instead of coffee or tea, one can have some fruits. The evening meal, taken between 7 and 8 p.m., should be light such as boiled vegetables, fruit, and a cup of milk. One should retire to bed by 10 p.m., and be ready to get up at 4 a.m. For the usual forenoon meal, one could take a little of starches, fats, green vegetables, proteins, milk or curd and fruit. Occasional fasts are more essential than occasional feasts to correct one's errors against natural life, which are often inevitable due to over-eating and eating too much of sweet and spiced foods. An occasional use of enema, or castor oil or any vegetable laxative, is necessary to clean the bowels. What you wish and long for with all your heart, that is yours. If you ask for Me, I am yours. - Swami Sivananda In order to root out these formidable enemies, man should cultivate purity, nobility, charity, love and a spirit of service in his heart. Remember; the Lord has created the world in order to provide a school in which man could learn these virtues and exercise them. Your neighbour has been created by the Lord in order that you might love him, serve him and thus grow in divinity. The Lord Himself walks in the garb of the poor and the sick in order to give you an opportunity to serve Him and thus evolve spiritually. Therefore, serve all. Love all. For thus would you secure a victory over your own lower animal nature.

GOOD HEALTH

Swami Sivananda

Good health is a valuable asset to man. It is a great treasure. It bestows happiness and prosperity. Health is essential to happiness. A person who is endowed with good health is ever joyful and energetic, sleeps well, digests his food well, and does his work satisfactorily. A healthy boy shines well at the school and earns laurels. A healthy man is an asset to society, whom everyone else admires. Good health is not merely absence of disease. It includes a full development of the physical, moral, mental and spiritual powers and faculties in man. By possessing good health you raise the standard of public health. Public health is not the sole concern of the municipalities and health departments. Every citizen, every individual, is directly and intimately concerned with the preservation of the health and welfare, not only of himself, but of the society as a whole. Therefore, every individual should know well the science of hygiene and sanitati.

In all actions, keep an unbroken current of God-remembrance. Then, work becomes Yoga and worship. - 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/swami-sivananda-quotes-your-real-self.html

WHAT IS HEALTH Swami Sivananda Health is that state of equilibrium of the three humours of the body, namely, wind (Vayu), bile and phlegm, wherein the mind and all the organs of the body work in harmony and concord, and man enjoys perfect peace and happiness, sound sleep, and performs his duties of life with comfort and ease. It is that condition in which man can think properly, speak properly and act with alacrity, nimbleness and vigilance. It is that condition in which man has a calm mind, free movement of the bowels, healthful cheeks, shining face and sparkling eyes, good digestion, good appetite, normal breathing, good quantity and quality of blood, and strong nerves. It is that state which is coveted by all. A life of good health is a great blessing, indeed. Love is the supreme gift, the greatest thing in this world. Love makes one generous, unselfish, patient, merciful, forgiving. The power of love can transform the universe which is chained today in fetters of hatred. - Swami Sivananda In order to root out these formidable enemies, man should cultivate purity, nobility, charity, love and a spirit of service in his heart.

TWENTY SAYINGS ON CELIBACY Swami Sivananda 19. Make the mind understand by repeated hammering and discrimination that all sexual pleasures are false, utterly worthless and extremely harmful. Clearly think over how very illusory and full of subsequent disillusionment it is. On no account should you listen to the promptings of the impure mind. Place before the mind the glory and advantage of a life in the eternal and blissful, omniscient Atman. 20. Lust deals a deadly blow to the spiritual calibre of man. Kill this lust by diverse methods. Do not entertain impure thoughts. Do not look at figures that create the mental sensation of passion. Avoid going to cinemas. Do not mix with all sorts of people, people who take pleasure in speaking of women, their character, love, nature, etc. Think of the Lord when the idea of sex enters the mind. Pray to Him fervently. Real peace can come only out of love and understanding. Man should love man; nation should understand another nation. Everybody should be filled with the spirit of self-sacrifice and selfless service. These qualities will manifest themselves in man if he is made to feel he is a spiritual soldier and that he is perpetually engaged in an inner war with the senses, with the mind, with egoism, in order to regain the Paradise lost. Ignorance is the common enemy. Egoism is the universal enemy. Lust, anger and greed are the worst enemies of all mankind. Selfishness is a powerful foe. Swami Chidananda The more you grow spiritually, the more also do you become impersonal. You overcome the limitations of your body and anything connected with the body. - 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/sivananda-daily-chantsivananda-65.html

TWENTY SAYINGS ON CELIBACY

Swami Sivananda

16. Celibacy does not mean to shut oneself out from the worldly temptation, but to sublimate and spiritualize the sex-energy, and to offer it as a pure and humble dedication to the service of God and man. 17. Lustful look, lustful thinking, wet-dreams, are all failures or breaks in celibacy. Be chaste in your look. Be chaste in your talk. Be chaste in your thought. See mother in all women. Cultivate sublime, divine thoughts. Repeat the Lord's name, and meditate regularly. You will be established in celibacy. 18. Those who practise celibacy should control the various forms of sexual impulse. The impulse of lustful look is a great menace, for it will stimulate curiosity and sexual desire. There is no harm in looking at a beautiful object. But you should be very strict to yourself. You will have to feel that everything is a manifestation of God. Lustful look tantamounts to adultery. Purify your thoughts and feelings. Purity is God. Thou art pure, in essence. Thou art an embodiment of purity. Repeat the formula mentally "I am purity, I am purity, " and attain that state of pristine, matchless purity. 

ou are here today. How long will you be here on earth? You do not know. Therefore, be up and doing on the path of Sadhana.
