Modern lifestyle and excessive intake of food items like chocolate, cake, ice cream, cold drinks etc which contains extra sugar, is the main cause of calcium deficiency in the body. A study reveals that not only in old age people, but in adults also, this condition is increasing at a very fast rate.

Calcium is one of the most abundant mineral in the human body because 99% of calcium is found in the bones and teeth. While the remaining 1% is involved in the blood, tissues and intracellular fluids.

Prarabdha can be overcome by the grace of the Lord. The Lord’s grace descends when
there is sincere devotion and when man does Purushartha. Purushartha is possible when the
mind is pure. The mind becomes pure when one does acts of kindness and charity. The laws of
nature do not operate when there is the grace of the Lord. His grace is all-powerful. We have the
instance of Markandeya who conquered death by his Purushartha, by sincere devotion to the
Lord. He was destined to die young, but when the Lo

Truth is truth and falsehood is falsehood. They are as wide apart as the terminals of a
diameter of a circle or the north and the south poles. He who wants ethical perfection, who loves
Dharma for the sake of the Supreme, ought to stick to truth however crucial be the
circumstances, however tense be the situation. Think of Harischandra ... how he stuck to truth
even in the face of trials. How his name is to stand, for all time to come, for truth undimmed!
Harischandra was truth personified. That is

(« Natural Abalone with conical pearl » by Worldexplorer82)

« Mother Of Pearl» was the last song written in the location where the music for the « The Abode Of The Blessed » EP was composed. Yet, arguably, considering the clear stylistic and thematic distinctions between this opus and the pieces that preceded it, they probably shouldn't belong on the same album. Assuming that I eventually get the chance to properly record the 8 songs and 8 instrumentals put together during that particular period

Observe strict continence in thought, word and deed. Give up thinking useless and vain
thoughts. Keep balance of mind in all conditions and circumstances, contemplating the Divine.
Practice Sirshasan, Sarvangasan and Oordhva Padmasan, besides Viparitakarani Mudra.
Preserve the energy by constantly repeating the Name of the Lord, doing intense Japa and
meditation, and study of the Gita, the Bhagavata, the Ramayana and the like. Develop Viveka,
Vairagya and Vichara. As dispassion increases, so is the

Yes. There is no doubt about the Gita having been recited by Lord Krishna in the
battlefield. It is not a mere composition of Chiranjivi (eternally living) Vyasa. Recall to mind
the following two Slokas which can be found in the Gita Mahatmya:
Gita Sugeeta Kartavya Kimanyaih Sastravistaraih
Ya Svayam Padmanabhasya Mukhapadmadvinissruta
Bharatamritasarvasvam Vishnorvaktradvinissrutam
Gitagangodakam Peetva Punarjanma Na Vidyate
The Gita is not a human composition at all. Have the conviction as such, wit

Never. If there is any thought of the body or the disease or the bodily affliction or
something that cannot be tolerated by the fleshy frame, remember that he is no advanced Yogi or
saint or Sannyasin. He who has no thought of himself or the surroundings or the world, he who
is centered in his own Self or his beloved Ishta Devata or gracious Guru, and he who is entirely
oblivious of limitations of any sort, and identifies himself with the limitless, diseaseless,
unconditioned, all-pervasive Brahman,

Whether a wrong is done on some basis or not, it is not to be retaliated against in any way
if one wants real moral and spiritual strength and the Lord’s grace. Calmly bear the wrong done
to you without the slightest mental upset or loss of psychic equilibrium. Do good to the man that
does harm. Bless that man that curses you. Pray for the well-being of the man that beleaguers
you. Study the lives of Jaya Deva, Shams Tabriez, Jesus Christ, Gauranga and other saints. The
Lord Himself protects His dev

Nadi Suddhi means purification of the nerves (Nadis). Nerve is not the correct English
term for Nadi. There is no appropriate word for Nadi in English.
Complete fast, preferably without any liquid or solid food, practice of Asans and
Pranayam, and intense physical exercise¾all go a long way in the elimination of fat and other
unwanted matters and in the overhauling of the system to confer the benefit of Nadi Suddhi.
Asans and Pranayam can purify the nerves, if done with the correct technique.

Piles can be cured through various yoga asanas. Piles and yoga simply means that yoga helps a great deal to treat piles. Before we go onto exactly how piles and yoga works, it is important to know just what Piles are. Piles are enlarged blood vessels which are present near the anal region. This disease can affect people of all ages. The veins present in the rectal area get inflamed and this results in a great deal of pain. There are two types of Piles – external and internal. Internal piles are

Does this statement not advocate a false sense of self-satisfaction and defeatist
mentality? Please reconcile the discrepancy and oblige.
“If a thing is refused to him (the Sadhak), he should not aspire for it again.”
Read this statement again and again till it suffuses your entire being, till the proper
substance of it is totally realized by yourself. Then only you will appreciate the grand truth to
imbibe its true spirit. “Neither ask nor reject” should be the motto of an ideal Sadhak. He
should no

The Yogic method excels all other methods. It is the best and the cheapest of all
prevalent systems of treatment. Take to intense Pranayam and Asans. Both these help a lot in
preserving Veerya (semen) and converting the vital energy into Ojas. Practice Sirshasan,
Sarvangasan, Matsyasan, Halasan, Paschimottanasan, Padahastasan and Yoga Mudra coupled
with Bhastrik Pranayam. Practice Pranayam till the stage of Kevala Kumbhak is reached. When
there is no necessity either to breathe in or to breathe out,

A righteous man is he who is pure in thought, word and deed and who observes Yama
and Niyama to the very letter. He ever moves astray for the sake of paltry gains and selfish ends.
He is ever pious, God-fearing, Self-centered and selfless. He has cosmic vision and a broad
outlook. He is equanimous and tolerant towards all. He is a mine of all virtues like charity,
nobility, sincerity, humility, renunciation, serenity, simplicity and so on. No egoism, no lust, no
greed, no crooked-mindedness, no vani

The true greatness of man is to be measured not by the amount of wealth nor by the
number of bungalows which are had or by the exercise of personal influence, but by the degree of
selflessness, all-embracive outlook, generosity, liberal views, cosmic benefaction, self-sacrifice,
egoless, self-effacing nature, grade of perception of unity in diversity, humanitarian services, etc.
A truly great man is pious, spiritually elevated, magnanimous and noble-hearted. He can never

Every man has not sprung up all on a sudden as a man. The Jiva, right from the very first
ushering into the world, continues to undergo the cycle of births and deaths not in tens, hundreds
or thousands, but in lakhs. It actually carries with it the Samskaras right from its very first birth
up to the birth current, i.e., under enjoyment. The unenjoyed or residual Samskaras continue till
they are completely fried in toto by Atma Jnana. The very forgetfulness of death by man, though
he sees countless d

The industrial revolution does not compel anyone to lower the moral standard. No doubt,
it might have facilitated this fall to some extent. The real mischief was done by the misleaders of
mankind who deliberately exalted material values over spiritual values. It is never too late to
mend. Even now, if the heart of man be cleansed of the dross of selfishness and selfaggrandizement,
and righteousness enthroned in it, the moral standard can be kept high in spite
of the most spectacular industrial devel

Ask God why He has created this world! Attain wisdom of the Self. Then you will know
why God created the world. You cannot understand it with your intellect. You can understand it
only with intuition.
For the sake of sport, God created the world. Lokavattu Lila Kaivalyam. Creation of the
world has a purpose. Just as we cannot have a sun without rays, similarly, we cannot have God
without the world process. The world is like His rays. It is His Svabhava, nature. Just as a
juggler produces something an

There must be Purushartha also. Only when you do Purushartha, the grace will come. A
professor will not answer the questions for you and make you pass. The Gita says, “Uddharet
Atmanatmanam”. One should raise oneself. Grace only helps one to raise oneself. Everybody
should work out his own salvation. You may ask, “What is grace then?”. If an aspirant gets
letters from his preceptor, clearing his doubts, that is grace. If an aspirant comes here, takes
Ganges bath and hears the lectures here, that is

If a person hurts the feelings of some Godrealized
saint, then it is said that the saint may curse and thus herald a bundle of miseries
for him. How far is this true?
The company of Sadhus and Sannyasins is always covetable provided they are of sterling
character. If this singular qualification is traceable in them, they are worthy of adoration and
respect. They can never be a source of trouble to anyone.
Contact with Sadhus and Sannyasins of true worth can never mar the progress or the
personal inter
