AYURVEDA IS AWARENESS!!


 Awareness is a positive and powerful word!

If only we are AWARE , can we act ,alter , imbibe and share.

If we are aware of ourselves our body , its functions and responses, then only we can manage ourselves, our mind, our fitness and overall health.The idea of being healthy and fit is our own perception-each one of us has our own version of it for ourselves.No matter it stems from from our culture, environment, family, profession and our adaptations to the world around us.


For example, since the onset of COVID Pandemic in 2020, everything in our lives, our lifestyle has changed.We have deviated from our NORMAL LIFESTYLE of workplace and home.And why are we doing it?Because we are aware of the threats and perils of not following.

As we are experiencing a fresh surge in cases, we are aware of the glitches and carelessness on our part as well.

Corona Era has brought us back to our ROOTS by making us aware of the fact that body can defend  itself against the diseases or the DEVIATIONS from GOOD HEALTH ,if we feed it with the right food nutrition, regime and thoughts.That is the sum total of the IMMUNITY.Nurturing  and directing the right way is the key to AROGYA(i.e.absence of diseases)

Ayurveda talks about what is normal and ideal.

Ayurveda talks about what is acceptable and practical.

Ayurveda talks about what is flexible and what is uncompromisable.

 "SWASTHASYA SWAASTHYA RAKSHANAM

AATURASYA VIKAAR PRASHAMAN CH"

These 2 are the objectives of AYURVEDA...

Literally  speaking, First  goal is to  protect the good health of the Healthy individual

and the second one is to cure the diseased.

So, AYURVEDA as the Science of Traditional Healing System is all about AWARENESS .

Awareness of not the DONTS but awareness of DO's.

If we know what is to be done and we already will know what not to do!

Ayurveda is our journey of AWARENESS!!

She was one of the cases in my PG ,way back in 2003. I still have the hand written case sheet filled in as per the protocols of the hospital ,I translated the headings to Hindi from Marathi.I have it pinned to the diary which I keep for precious and important learnings from my profession. So 18 odd years ago, a pretty petite and always smiling 27 year old MANGAL was assigned to me for 14 days treatment and I had to present her case thereafter. Mangal was always dressed in the traditional Maharashtrian Saree, Gajra and Bindi.She came always on her bicycle, a lunch box hanging on it.No family member ever came along.At 10 am every day she would be there with her forearms loosely wrapped in cotton cloth for that was the affected area.She would sit through patiently with a faint smile ,talk just a bit, and then leave  with the cloth wrapped again ; for the printing press she worked at.She healed very well and very much  in those 14 days time frame.I never saw her again.But I often ...

 #YOGADAY2022  #YOGAFORHUMANITY The term YOG means UNION, derived from the Sanskrit word YUJ meaning -'to join'. It is about the union or syncing of mind and body.The path of uniting the JEEVATMA with PARAMATMA-the ultimate destination or goal is to achieve  Salvation. In all practicality, while you live in this world-going about your daily chores, carrying out your business of living-The adoption of YOGA as a form of self care & fitness is a baby step .But, it is an effective, long-term means to a good life. The theme of YOGA day this year is YOGA FOR HUMANITY. We all went through 2 years of suffering in the pandemic, and it is the compassion, sharing, extending help, the undefeated spirit of Humanity that survived. Just as the 'global' adversity united the humans; YOGA can be the path to a universally acceptable solution to steer through the urban, advanced yet not-so-healthy lifestyle of today. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in his Yoga messag...
