Ayurveda Initiative For Global Health

Wake up and see the truth of life. What are you hanging on to? What breaks your heart? Someone’s behavior? Someone’s words? Weakness of the heart should be shunned and truth needs to be known. What is truth?  Everything in the world is changing. Has changed, will change in the future. And you are going to drop your own body which you love so much. You want to move your hand, you cannot move, you want to lift your eyes, you cannot, you want to say something, you cannot move your tongue. Your whole body will strike and then you will simply have to exit out of this body, You exit dejected and frustrated because your body is totally rebellious to your commands. And the body will not listen to what you say. As long as you’re alive, wake up and do something good. Forget about it. Be bold, courageous. Don’t get stuck with the behavior of people. You needed it. It makes you strong. Be like a lion. Roar like a lion. Joy comes and goes, misery comes and goes. The Pleasure you are hanging on ...

Question - Gurudev, due to some hurt l've been abusing and cursing God. I've always been a Divine loving person and I am not liking this behavior of mine. How can I overcome this? Gurudev Sri Sri - Never mind. If you curse the Divine it is not going to react to you. Don't worry, it's the safest! Otherwise if you get angry with somebody, they will take revenge on you. This is the beauty of astrology. Astrology tells you that you are suffering because this planet is in this position. How can you get angry with a planet? So your mind, your anger, your frustration, and the cause of you unhappiness is given a bigger cosmic dimension. The cosmic dimension gives the much needed calmness and that strength which you need to face a tough situation. What you really need in a tough situation is inner strength and inner calmness. That inner strength comes to you with this understanding.

Question - Gurudev, out of the three doshas : vata, pitta and kapha, which prakriti is good for doing meditation? Gurudev Sri Sri - By doing meditation you can go beyond all the three doshas (imbalances in the body): Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Meditation is the destroyer of all the three doshas. If you first do meditation and then check your naadi (pulse), you will see that it has changed. If there is equilibrium (sama-dosha) between these prakriti then that is suitable for doing meditation. If you are healthy then your meditation will be deeper and by doing meditation your health improves. Both these things are there.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय २, श्लोक ४७*  कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन | मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि || अनुवाद:  तुम्हें केवल अपने कर्म पर ही अधिकार है, उसके फल पर नहीं। कर्मफल को कभी भी अपना उद्देश्य बनने न दो और न ही अकर्म में आसक्त हो। Bhagavad Gita 2.47:  You have the right to your action alone, not to the fruit thereof.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय ९, श्लोक २९*  समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रिय: | ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम् || अनुवाद:  मैं समस्त भूतों के प्रति समभाव रखता हूँ, न कोई मुझे घृणित है और न ही प्रिय। परन्तु जो भक्तिपूर्वक मुझे भजते हैं, वे मुझ में हैं, और मैं भी उन में हूँ। Bhagavad Gita 9.29:  I am equanimous to all beings; there is none hateful or dear to Me. But those who worship Me with devotion are in Me, and I am in them as well.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय ५, श्लोक २७–२८*  स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवो: | प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ || यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायण: | विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो य: सदा मुक्त एव स: || अनुवाद:  बाहरी आनंद के सभी विचारों को बंद करके, भौहों के बीच की जगह पर दृष्टि केंद्रित करके, नासिका में आने वाली और जाने वाली श्वास के प्रवाह को बराबर करते हुए इंद्रियों, मन और बुद्धि को नियंत्रित करके जो मुनि कामनाओं और भय से मुक्त हो जाता है, वह सदा के लिए मुक्त हो जाता है।   Bhagavad Gita 5.27-28:  Shutting out all thoughts of external enjoyment, with the gaze fixed on the space between the eyebrows, equalizing the flow of the incoming and outgoing breath in the nostrils, and thus controlling the senses, mind, and intellect, the sage, who becomes free from desire and fear, always lives in freedom.

What is called renunciation, know that to be Yoga, for no one can become a Yogi without relinquishing desires.

*उच्च रक्तदाबाचे दुष्परिणाम* १) हृदयाची अकार्यक्षमता : उच्च रक्तदाब असलेल्या व्यक्तीच्या हृदयाला काम करण्यास खूप कष्ट करावे लागतात. त्यामुळे हृदय मोठे आणि जाड होऊ शकते. त्याची कार्यक्षमता कमी कमी होत जाते. त्यामुळे हृदयाचे पंपिंग कमी होते. याला ‘हार्ट फेल्युअर’ (HEART FAILURE) असे म्हणतात. उच्च रक्तदाबाच्या रोग्यांत हृदयाच्या विकाराने मृत्यू पावलेल्यांचे प्रमाण सामान्य लोकांपेक्षा चारपट अधिक आहे. उच्च रक्दाबाच्या रुग्णांना हृदयशूळ (ANGINA) आणि हृदयविकाराचा झटका येण्याचे प्रमाणसुद्धा जास्त असते. २) मूत्रपिंडावर परिणाम :  उच्च रक्तदाब जर अधिक काळापासून असेल तर अशा रुग्णांचे मूत्रपिंड हळूहळू निकामी होऊ शकते. मूत्रपिंडातील रक्तशुद्धीचे काम व्यवस्थित होत नाही. परिणामत: शरीरात मीठ आणि इतर व्यर्जित पदार्थाचा भरणा होतो. त्यामुळे हातापायाला सूज, चेहऱ्यावर सूज येते. ३) इतर दुष्परिणाम : अति उच्च रक्तदाबामुळे डोक्यातील रक्तवाहिन्या फुटून मेंदूमध्ये रक्तस्राव होऊ शकतो. तसेच डोळ्याच्या पडद्यावर रक्तस्राव होऊन दृष्टिदोष होऊ शकतो. उच्च रक्तदाबामुळे काही रोग्यांच्या महारोहिणीचा (AORTA) काही भाग अति...

There is no one among humans who performs a service dearer to Me than they, and there will never be anyone dearer to Me on earth.

Indeed, I am the knowledge of the Vedas, the originator of Vedanta, and the knower of the Vedas.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय ११, श्लोक १०–११*  अनेकवक्त्रनयनमनेकाद्भुतदर्शनम् | अनेकदिव्याभरणं दिव्यानेकोद्यतायुधम् || दिव्यमाल्याम्बरधरं दिव्यगन्धानुलेपनम् | सर्वाश्चर्यमयं देवमनन्तं विश्वतोमुखम् || अनुवाद:  उस दिव्य विश्वरूप में, अर्जुन ने अनेकानेक मुखों और नेत्रों को देखा, जिनमें अनगिनत अद्भुत दृश्य थे और वो कई दिव्य आभूषणों से सुशोभित तथा कई दिव्य आयुधों को धारण किए हुए थे। दिव्य मालाओं तथा वस्त्रों को परिधान किए हुए दिव्य गंधों से लिपित होकर उन्होंने स्वयं को सर्वाश्चर्यमय, प्रकाशमान, और अनन्त के रूप में प्रकट किया था, जिनके मुखें सभी दिशाओं में थे। Bhagavad Gita 11.10-11:  In that divine cosmic form, Arjuna beheld numerous mouths and eyes, possessing countless wondrous sights adorned with many celestial ornaments and wielding a multitude of uplifted divine weapons. Wearing heavenly garlands and garments anointed with divine fragrances, He revealed Himself as the all-wonderful, resplendent, and boundless one, having faces in all directions.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय १८, श्लोक ६३*  इति ते ज्ञानमाख्यातं गुह्याद्गुह्यतरं मया | विमृश्यैतदशेषेण यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु || अनुवाद:  इस प्रकार, यह गोपनीय से भी अधिक गोपनीय ज्ञान मेरे द्वारा तुम्हें प्रदान किया गया है। इस पर पूरी तरह से विचार करने के पश्चात्, जैसी इच्छा हो, वैसा ही करो। Bhagavad Gita 18.63:  Thus, this knowledge, the most profound secret of all secrets, has been imparted to you by Me. After deeply reflecting upon it, do as you wish.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय २, श्लोक १२*  न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः | न चैव न भविष्याम: सर्वे वयमत: परम् || अनुवाद:  ऐसा कभी कोई समय नहीं था जब मैं नहीं था, न तुम नहीं थे, न ये सभी राजा नहीं थे; और न ही भविष्य में ऐसा होगा कि हम में से कोई भी न रहे। Bhagavad Gita 2.12:  Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to exist.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय १४, श्लोक ९*  सत्त्वं सुखे सञ्जयति रज: कर्मणि भारत | ज्ञानमावृत्य तु तम: प्रमादे सञ्जयत्युत || अनुवाद:  हे भरतवंशी! सत्त्वगुण सुख में लगाता है, रजोगुण कर्म में, जबकि तमोगुण ज्ञानको ढककर प्रमाद में लगाता है। Bhagavad Gita 14.9:  O descendant of Bharata! Sattva attaches to happiness, Rajas to action, while Tamas veils up knowledge and attaches to negligence.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय १२, श्लोक ८*  मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय | निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशय: || अनुवाद:  अपने मन और बुद्धि को मुझमें ही स्थिर कर दो, तत्पश्चात तुम मुझमें ही निवास करोगे, इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है। Bhagavad Gita 12.8:  Fix your mind and intellect solely on Me, and there is no doubt that you will live in Me afterwards.

I am the universal self (atman), seated in the hearts of all living beings. I alone am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय २, श्लोक ५०*  बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते | तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योग: कर्मसु कौशलम् || अनुवाद: बुद्धियुक्त व्यक्ति इस जीवन में अच्छे और बुरे दोनों प्रकार के कर्मों को त्याग देता है। इसलिए, योग में रत हो जाओ, क्योंकि कर्मों में कुशलता ही योग है। Bhagavad Gita 2.50:  Endowed with wisdom, one relinquishes both good and evil deeds in this life.

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय ६, श्लोक १९*  यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता | योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मन: || अनुवाद: वायुरहित स्थान पर दीपक की लौ झिलमिलाहट नहीं करती। इस तुलना का प्रयोग आत्मयोग में लीन योगी के नियंत्रित मन के लिए किया जाता है। Bhagavad Gita 6.19:  The flame of a lamp in a windless place doesn't flicker. This comparison is used for the controlled mind of a yogi absorbed in the yoga of the self (atman).

*भगवद्गीता– अध्याय १२, श्लोक ९*  अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम् | अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय || अनुवाद: हे धनञ्जय! यदि तुम अपने मन को मुझमें स्थिर करने में असमर्थ हो, तो अभ्यासयोग के माध्यम से मुझे प्राप्त करने का प्रयत्न करो। Bhagavad Gita: 12.9:  O Dhananjaya!

Question - I’m a student and there are so many distractions around me. When I start studying I easily get distracted. Is there any permanent solution this? Gurudev Sri Sri - Why do you want a permanent solution? There is no permanent medicine in life. Whenever you get distracted, see what is distracting you? When you're watching an interesting movie, the mind is not distracted. There is some craving, there is something that you want. And when you're a student the real distraction is your boyfriend or girlfriend. That's a distraction. At that time you have to take a stand, 'Okay, now for the next few days I’m going to focus on my studies as exams are nearing. I have to prepare myself, look at my career! The very fact that you feel you are getting distracted, you're already coming out of it. So you don't have to be too concerned about it. Definitely do some pranayama, yoga, some exercises.

Question - Gurudev, How does one maintain calm and cool during unpleasant situations? Gurudev Sri Sri - Every event is an opportunity to deepen your wisdom. An unpleasant event somewhere kindles the deep wisdom we are born with. Whether positive or negative, every event kindles this in us. If an event overpowers us, we lose our emotions and intellect. Then we need help. That is where communion comes in. We sit together and sing and the load is lifted off. Everyone must take some time in life to dwell on the truth. This is satsang, to be in the company of truth. Keep on encountering truth in our lives. Just a few moments can bring such peace, stability and strength.

Question - Gurudev, sometimes I find knowledge is boring. Is it alright to follow something else that is more fun? Please guide.  Gurudev Sri Sri - People think this is something boring. They feel knowledge is so serious. I say follow knowledge and fun follows you, but follow fun and only misery will follow. Self-knowledge is that which makes you lighter and like a child again. It brings enthusiasm from within. That is exactly what spirituality is.

Question - Gurudev, Can the wisdom of yoga help the with de-addiction? Gurudev Sri Sri - Many of our youth are struggling with the problems of addiction. I tell you if they choose to take up the path of Yoga instead, a different intoxication and energy surges from within that uplifts and takes them to a higher place. I often tell the youth that once you come to me, I shall provide you with the highest intoxicant before which every other intoxicant will fail. Yoga is a kind of intoxication too, but it is one that uplifts you and elevates you to greater progress. It prevents your downfall into ignorance and negativity. It brings a wave of harmony and belongingness throughout society. Such is the greatness of Yoga.

Sometimes you feel that you haven't harmed anyone in ur present life, or even thought ill of anyone, yet you are suffering. You should always remember that people’s ideas, emotions and opinions keep on changing. Everything changes. Many friends become enemies & enemies become friends. You're friends with somebody & suddenly for no obvious reason they become ur enemy. You haven't done anything wrong to anyone, yet they turn out to be unfriendly towards you. Sometimes people who you don't even know will come to ur help. You haven't done them any great favour, yet they help you. This friendship & animosity works on a deeper principle called karma. If ur time is good, ur worst enemies also start behaving like ur friends. And if ur time is not good, then ur closest friends too will misunderstand you & start behaving like ur enemies. If you look back, you will realise that somewhere you have sown the seeds for a tree of thorns. So today, or sometime later,...

Question - Gurudev, what is the key to achieve more growth and success in life?  Gurudev Sri Sri - Three things are needed to achieve in life :  1. Real intention - There should be a real need to have whatever it is you want. Our wants keep changing, but if it is our need, we will get it. The want has to become our need. 2. Self effort - One has to put effort for whatever you want. You can't simply sit, and keep wishing, 'I want this, I want that'. Have you put your effort? Has the want become your need? Have you worked towards it? Have you put your 100%? This is necessary. 3. Time or karma - If karma is there, the time is right, you will get it. Suppose, I wish to see the moon now, on a dark night. No matter what intention I put, how can I see the moon now? I have to wait for another 15 days to see the full moon. On the new moon day, if you are wishing for the full moon, then you have to wait. If you plant a pomegranate tree today and say, 'No, I want the fruit now...

Question - Gurudev, what is the purpose of life? Gurudev Sri Sri - When you feel that everything is going to stay here, but I am going to die one day, and everything appears meaningless, what you do appears to be meaningless, at this time I would like you to read Yoga Vasistha. You can play the Yoga Vasistha CDs and listen to it, or take the book and read it. You will understand the nature of consciousness, who you are, what you are. This feeling that everything is meaningless, there is no point, why are we here, why this universe, these questions indicate a very mature intellect. This is the right time to go deep into knowledge. Vedic wisdom will also help you.It is very fortunate, you should feel very happy that you got this question. Many people don't feel this for a very long time. So when you feel it, you should think, ‘Oh I am so fortunate’.

Question - Gurudev, how do we grow higher in evolution and how do we get there? Gurudev Sri Sri - When trivial things, unimportant things lose their significance in life. When you wake up and realise, 'Oh, these are small things', and you stop complaining and talking behind others back, and all these little little tricks of the mind. When you are tired of negativity, you are already growing and when you accept the world as it is, then you're growing one step higher.

Question - Gurudev, I have so much love for you, it is so much in me that I don't know how to express it to you. Can you please tell me what to do? Gurudev Sri Sri - You have said it already. (Laughs) True love always feel like that. You feel you cannot express yourself, because love cannot be contained in expression. Love is so huge. And for ages, people have tried to express their love and finally they felt they cannot. Even the great sage Narada said, 'Anirvachaniyam prema swarupam'. You cannot express it. The nature of true love is that it is beyond expression.

Question - Gurudev, what should a person who is physically, mentally and socially weak do to become strong in all the three areas? Gurudev Sri Sri - First of all, you should not brand yourself that you are very weak. The moment you brand yourself as weak, you find yourself even weaker. Know that you don't know yourself, you don't know your strength. You will find that you have enough strength to do what you want to do.

Question - Gurudev, you just said that we should not consider anyone as bad. If others treat us badly, how do we react to that? Gurudev Sri Sri - If others have a negative opinion about you, it is their problem, not yours. From your side, do not consider anyone as bad. By doing this, your mind will be clear and pleasant and your intellect will be sharp. Otherwise, the people whom you consider as bad will begin to haunt your mind like a ghost. When such thoughts get into your mind, you will not be able to do something creative.

Denmark, 20th August, 1997 Chapter 2 - The Path To The Goal That Is You Day 86 - Discipline People who are free regret that they do not have discipline. They keep promising that they will become disciplined. People who are disciplined look for the end, discipline is not an end in itself, it is a means. Look at people who have no discipline, they are miserable.  Freedom without discipline is absolute misery. Discipline without freedom is suffocating. Orderliness is monotonous and chaos is stressful. We must make our discipline free and our freedom disciplined. People who have company all the time, look for the comforts of solitude. People who are in solitude feel so lonely and want company.  People in a cold place want a warm place. People in a warm place love something cool. This is the dilemma of life, everyone is looking for perfect balance. Perfect balance is like a razor’s edge. It can only be found in the self. Initiation is called diksha. In Sanskrit “di” means intellect...

There is a difference between an intention and a desire. Desire is that which gives you anger and upsets you. Sankalpa is having an intention.  It means taking your consciousness to the universe, to the infinite; then bringing the mind to the present moment, and making a wish for something that you long for in your mind. Desire means to want it to happen now. In sankalpa you say, “Let it happen whenever it has to.” Strength lies in the power of your sankalpa (intention). The mind is full of sankalpa and vikalpa (imagination, fancy). All work gets done through sankalpa. Even the act of moving one’s arm is preceded by the sankalpa in the mind. The sankalpa of a weak mind is ineffective. We can make our mind strong by sadhana (spiritual practices) and knowledge. Then the sankalpa will also be strong. When sankalpa arises in your heart, then it helps expand your consciousness in the universe. In this huge universe, I want this little sankalpa to happen. Suppose you are asking a questio...
