 PATANJALI YOGPEETH EARNED
INTERNATIONAL IDENTITY FOR
UTTRAKHAND
Most Respected Swamiji
Since I was out of head quarters
on account of electoral engagements
at the time of inaugural ceremony of
2nd phase of Patanjali Yogpeeth, I
could not have the opportunity to at-
tend this auspicious occasion.
Patanjali Yogpeeth has earned an
identity at the International level in a
new form for Haridwar as well as for
the state of Uttrakhand. It has also
highlighted this country as well as our
state. You and your institution deserve
a lot of thanks for this.
Sincerely yours

YOG AND SELF CONFIDENCE
ENABLED ME TO STAND ON MY
OWN LEGS
Respected Swamiji Maharaj
Here I am, Dinesh Jagaanath
Vahar from Dhule, Maharashtra, to
write this letter to you. Swamiji, 3
years ago, in a road accident, both of
my legs had been crushed. Taking
bones from my back, I was operated
up on my legs. Pieces of bones were
joined with the help of steel rods,
plates, screws and wires. Hope of
success was least. Doctors were of
the opinion that I will be able to stand
with the help of crutches but I had
vowed not to touch such gadgets and
had taken firm decision to walk on
my own legs. A lot of power came to
me to stand against such odds just
because of you.
Swamiji, in those days I used to
see you on the TV. I used to do some
yoga exercises. But after accident, I
was in the bed and started doing some
Anulome Vilome and Kapaal bharti.
Everyday in the morning, I used to
do some yoga pranayaam in your
presence on the TV. It was a great
miracle that I regained my broken
bones back. My lifeless legs had a stir
of life and with in one year I was able
to stand on my own legs.
Swamiji it was a miracle and no-
body believed that I will able to walk
with my own legs. I had faith on god
and trust in you. In fact, I owe my
success to you and you are god for
me.
I pay my highest regards to you

PRANAYAAM WARDED OF SEVERAL
DISEASES
Swamiji Maharaj
On the basis of your book
“Pranayaam Rehsya”, I constantly
practiced for 30 months, the Bhastrika
exercise for 5 minutes, Kapaal Bharti
pranayaam for 20 minutes, Anuloom
Vilom pranayaam for 20 minutes,
Bhramri pranayaam for 10 mintes,
Karanrogantak pranayaam for 5 min-
utes, Moorcha pranayaam for 5 min-
utes everyday leading to the complete
and final treatment of the diseases like
excessive urination, puss from the
urethra and flowing of ear and hear-
ing disorder. All these diseases were
cured without any medicine. Now, I
am fully healthy.
Many many thanks for the same
to your goodself.

COMPLETE RIDDANCE FROM
PROSTATE AND URINARY DIS-
EASES
Respected Swami Ramdev ji
Swamiji, I myself belong to a fam-
ily of Vaidyas’ and I am myself an
ayurvedic practitioner. Still, I had to
undergo an operation, but even after
that weakness of urinary bladder per-
sisted. However, as per your instruc-
tions given in the Bhopal shivir and
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 5
their after, I used ayurvedic medicines
and practiced yog kriyas and now I
am completely healthy.
In Jain dharma, abhaydaan is the
highest sort of charity as regards
myself, I got such abhaydaan from
your good self and it has given me a
new life.
Great benefactor saints of the na-
tion like you may live long.
Lot of respects and benevolence
unto you
Yours sincerely

WARTS DISAPPEARED WITH THE
PRACTICE OF PRANAYAAM
Respected Swamiji
I had developed on my nose a wart
of about 1 inch size. I used to feel
ashamed on that account. Out of help-
lessness, every 3rd or 4th day, I used
to cut it with the help of a blade and
had to bear a lot of pain. In fact, a
wart is a life like thing. Cutting of
wart caused a lot of bleeding. With
the help of cotton, I used to wipe the
blood oozing out of it. However, the
wart continued to grow rapidly. Later,
I saw your programmes of yoga and
pranayaam on the TV and started
practicing yoga and pranayaam ev-
eryday just for 30 minutes at home
itself. I also started joining your Yoga
shivirs. At that time, I used to prac-
tice Kapaalbharti and Anuloom Vilom
for just half an hour everyday. I con-
tinued this practice for a period of 2
years regularly. Gradually the wart
vanished.
This fact I concealed for several
years. I remember the severity of pain
I had to face on cutting of the wart
which was growing very rapidly and
was taking a strange shape on the
nose. It so happened 3 years back,
now that wart has disappeared. In
fact, it is the effect of the inspiration
I received indirectly from you swamiji
that I was relieved from the problem
of wart. It has added to my faith in
the yoga.
Yours Sincerely

Y ogasan is not an ordinary thing but a physical ac-
complishment which requires the observance of cer-
tain rules, discipline, self confidence and continuity. Con-
tinuous practice is a must. Before doing yogasana, it is
worth knowing as to what is a Yogasan. Taking precau-
tions is also necessary. In case, these precautions are
not taken, it may cause harm instead of benefit. It is not
like a sport or physical exercise.
v The person who wants to practice yogasana should
necessarily clear his bowels and other natural urges
before practicing.
v The person doing yoga exercises should not have
the problem of constipation. If he is in the habit of
taking coffee or tea in the morning, he may take one
cup of tea or coffee. For better results, avoidance
of such drinks is the right thing.
v Something should be eaten only after atleast one hour
of the practice of yogasana.
v Practice of yogasana should be done before sunrise
or after sun set.
v Practice of difficult yogasana should be done pref-
erably in the morning or practice of the simple
yogasana in the evening.
v Yog sadhna is possible only with the continuity of
practice, dedication and courage
v During the period of yogic practices, several hin-
drances crop up which are to be overcome with firm-
ness. These obstacles come in the way of yoga prac-
titioner in the form of diseases, laziness, careless-
ness and uncertainty. One can overcome these ob-
stacles by the purity of mind and focused concen-
tration. One has to continue his practice with strong
determination and patience.
v In order to overcome the obstacles likely to be faced
by a yoga practitioner, Maharishi Patanjali has found
that instilling the feeling of friendliness, compassion,
bliss and hopefulness within oneself is the best way.
Yog sadhna is tied with the element of regularity
and continuity and it is a satvik way of living. One
who practices Yogasanas attains the beauty of body
and mind.
v Precautions:
v Practice of yogasana should be undertaken at a clean,
airy and germfree place, without any noise or sports
in the nearby areas.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 11
v Practice of yogasana should be on an even ground
or leveled floor. For yogasana, one should use car-
pet or folded blanket/rug. Uneven ground is not a
proper place for it.
v Before starting yogasanas, one should keep his eyes
open and muscles tension free. If one can do a par-
ticular aasan regularly and easily, he can keep his
eyes closed.
v While doing yogasanas, the body should be active
and the mind inactive. However, alertness and pre-
cautions should not be left out. During the practice
of a yogasana with a tension on the mind or per-
formed forcibly, one cannot keep track of his mis-
takes.
v At the time of practicing yogasana, breathing should
be through nostrils. Breathing from the mouth may
prove harmful. In the posture of yogasana or while
practicing an aasan, one should not stop the process
of breathing.
v Sheershaasan is prohibited for the patients of Dia-
betes and Blood pressure. They should also not prac-
tice Sarvangasana. The postures of these Yogasanas
may affect blood pressure. Aasans requiring forward
bending are beneficial for such patients.
v Ladies should not practice Yogasanas during their
period of menstruation because during this period,
the cavity of uterus remains open and process of
bleeding from that cavity continues. On account of
yogasana, there may be profuse bleeding or other
complications.
v During pregnancy, one should not practice
Yogasanas. Only after the initial period of 3 months
of pregnancy, only easy posture yogasana should be
undertaken.
v While practicing yogasana, one should learn to keep
his mind under control. During this period, it is not
proper to keep the senses excited with sexual thoughts
because it may give rise to several diseases.
v Practice of yogasanas should be started only under
the care of a person who is well versed in the prac-
tice of yogasanas. During yoga practices, only loose
clothes should be used. It is better that the gents
wear supporters and the ladies put on bikini or bras.
v One should not take bath or should not take cold or
hot liquids just after the practice of yogasanas. These
 more quantity of juice, squashes and shikanji etc.
v In case of tiredness during work, one should sit in a
comfortable posture in the seat itself. Keep the eyes
closed. Do it for 10 minutes. It will keep away the
tedium and the mind fresh.
v In case you feel bored while reading, stand on your
legs and have a walk for 10 – 15 minutes or while
walking have a dialogue with your friend on the phone
or listen to sweet musical tunes on the TV.
v Avoid negative thinking because it increases tensions
and keeps you always in depression. As compare to
people with positive thinking, the people with nega-
tive thinking live a short life.
v As compared to other people, the people with nega-
tive thinking consume more food. As a result, in their
later stages the chances of their taking ill increase.
v Never bring a negative thought in your mind. To
achieve this end, keep yourself busy in the positive
activities.
v If you want, you can go near the nature to observe
the divine beauty. See the greenery around or listen
to the chirping of birds, it will soothe your mind.
v Whenever the mind is gripped by a negative thought,
see any interesting program on the TV or otherwise
read a good book or prepare an item of your choice
in the kitchen. In case you become busy in other
activities, it is only within 10 minutes that negative
thoughts automatically flee.
v Don’t talk to the people with negative thinking be-
cause such people may not do any other thing but
will definitely create a problem for you,
v The people with positive and optimistic thoughts re-
main smart and fit without an iota of disappointment.
They enjoy the bliss of perennial youth for a longer
period of their life.
v To keep fit, is a good exercise cycling. For ladies,
moving the grinding stone and cycling for gents is
the best form of exercise. While going to office or
market place or to the schools of your children or
for depositing your electricity bills etc. always make
use of cycle. Cycling gives full exercise to the body,
keeps away the ailments and keeps the body fit and
smart. Cycling protects against heart problems. It
keeps the muscles of legs free from disorders and
through perspiration effects the positive growth in
the matter of health.

M an has been trying to be free from stress and to get peace and bliss
from ancient time.And he has been using alcohol, the thorn–apple (dhatura),
mythyl (somras), hemp cannabis-sativa etc.Nowadays there are some other
narcotics such as heroine, imported emp (charas), cocine, alcohol,
opium,many kinds of sleeping tablets, tobacco, cigarettes, gutkha, jarda
etc.Among all of these tobacco is the most narcotic, poisnous and harmful
substance.
Addiction of tobacco is socially recognized.Its users use this,without any
hesitation,in and out of home and day-night everywhere.
Tobacco is mostly used in three ways—
v by eating;such as gutkha,jarda,khaini etc.
v by smelling;through nose;such as sniff.
v by smoking;such as bidies,cigarettes,hubble-bubble(hukka) etc.
Effect: Tobacco,taking by any way of the three,dissolves poison as nico-
tine in the blood which after a little time produces artificial stimulation.due to
this the user feels false freshness. By and by the body remains demanding
more and more quantity of nicotine and the person comes in tightly constric-
tion of this poisonous narcotic.
Presence of poisonous substances in tobacco:There are about four hun-
dred kinds of dissolving and inflammable poisonous chemical substances
which are directly responsible for the incurable diseases like cancer etc.

–oxide,nicotine,D.D.T.,lead,acetone,hydrogen,cynide,eurethene,phenol,form-
aldehyde,butane,phenel,nitrogen,sulphate,polonium,benzene and isoprine.

Food in our life has special significance. Similarly, fast also has a important place in our
life. In a way, fast is a friend of our health because fasting provides an opportunity to rest
for the digestive system of our body. It also gives a chance to rest for all our body organs.If
you want to keep a friendly relation with your health, make some space for fast in your life.

Over eating is like a frivolous act for health. Gen-
erally, in order to satiate our hunger, we devour all such
food we find. While doing so, we do not take care That
what we are eating is beneficial or harmful for our
health. We take tea, coffee, namkeen and other fried
food such as kachori etc. with fondness but that is not a
right habit because in that case our body is likely to
contact several diseases including mainly the disease
of high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease or pertain-
ing to kidney. Almost every year, a large no of people
fall prey to such ailments and die an untimely death.
In this article, we have made a mention of all these
things because we should not take excessive food and
should eat only such things which are not harmful but
beneficial for our body. Along with this, we will like to
say certainly something about fast. Food in our life has
special significance. Similarly, fast also has a important
place in our life. In a way, fast is a friend of our health
because fasting provides an opportunity to rest for the
digestive system of our body. It also gives a chance to
rest for all our body organs if you want to keep a friendly
relation with your good health, make some space for
fast in your life.
There are a number of ways of fasting in our coun-
try. You would like to tell our readers that skipping break-
fast or under eating or taking food only once a day can
not be called fast. While fasting, people generally take
a larger quantity of Aloo chat, pakoras, porridge of
kuttu, ground nuts and such other things. Some people
break their fast with staple food like chappatis’, daal
and rice or other sweets or halwa. These ways of break-
ing fast are all together wrong because by doing it we
invite several diseases in our body. It also creates a
disorder in our blood system and activates the silent
symptoms of disease in our body. Some people keep
fast without taking water. This system of keeping fast
is harmful for the body.
Since ancient times, Indian people have a system of
keeping fast on the occasion of traditional festivities but
they do not know that fasting has a special significance
in respect of health. Mostly, only ladies keep fast and
aim of every lady keeping such fast are quite different.
Unmarried girl keep fast with a wish of finding a good
life partner, while the married women observe fast for
long life of their partners or to have an issue or to attain
the objective of peace and happiness for their family.
Since, all such fasts kept by the ladies do not have any
objective pertaining to their health, they are not able to
maintain good health even after keeping fast. The rea-
son is that while keeping fast, they are least aware of
the scientific importance of the same.
According to one’s religion and work, almost all the
persons should keep one fast in a week. All the days of
week are auspicious in themselves. On Monday, the
people who have loose temperament with advancing
age should keep fast because Monday is the day of
moon and on this day, Sun, Moon and the earth are in
such a position that they have a peaceful effect on our
body. In order to get good results of all our deeds, we
should keep fast on Tuesday. The people with weak
mind and willing to attain spiritual knowledge should
keep fast on Wednesday because Wednesday is the
day of attaining enlightenment. The people with shal-
low thinking and mentality should keep fast on Thurs-
day. The patients of premature ejaculation or those suf-
fering from Prameh should keep fast on Friday because
Friday promotes virility, prowess, Weller, beauty and
quantity of semen. In order to get rid of all sorts of
troubles and difficulties, one should keep fast on Satur-
day. Sunday is the day of Sun. In order to get good
health and virility, one should keep fast on Sunday. It
should be seen that for one day fast, no prior prepara-
tion of any sort is required. One day fast can be ob-
served any time. On the next day of fast, we should

items of food will provide sufficient quantity of protein
to the person observing fast.
For sufficient quantity of vitamins during the period
of fast, the person concern should take green vegetables
like parwal, gourd and tomato along with lemon water
which will provide him with Vitamin C. Even fruits may
give a number of vitamins to the person keeping fast.
Besides that, vegetables, fruits and dry fruits may pro-
vide sufficient quantity of anti oxidants.
During the period of fasting, the person on fast takes
such food items which contains a very meager quantity
of carbohydrates which are very difficult to digest.
Therefore, the flour of kuttu or singada (water chest-
nut) or savan rice should be used only after proper cook-
ing, the same may be used with messed boiled pota-
toes. Instead of eating deep fried puris or pakoras of
kuttu or singada, one should take singada or kuttu in the
form of chilla, kheer, upma or kadhi etc. Dry fruits and
makhanas have lesser quantity of carbohydrates. There-
fore, stomach should not be filled with its preparations
during fasting and vegetables, fruits, soups, juices or
salad of cucumber should be preferred. It will not in-
crease the body weight. Moreover, it will add to the
luster of the skin. That will give you strength and re-
duce the size of the tummy.
Fried food contains transfats which increase the level
of cholesterol and acidity in the body. Acidity in the
stomach may lead to other physical ailments like peptic
ulcer or angina. Intake of greater quantity of fat leads
to increases the size of tummy and level of blood pres-
sure. During fasting a small quantity of desi ghee may
be used. While cooking food for fast, one should roast
the preparation, instead of deep frying.
During the days of fast, rock salt is used. However,
one should know that it is not a refined product. A rock
salt should always be used in the form of solution after
proper straining of the same. Several researches have
pointed out that intake of non refined salts may lead to
several complications in the body.
During the period of fast, one should always eat home
preparations. Only one type of food items should be
taken and one should not depend only on sweet eat-
ables during the fast. One should never use greasy and
heavy food during this period. Nursing mothers, preg-
nant ladies, children, heart and diabetes patients and
other patient should not keep fast.
How to Break Fast At the time of breaking fast,
a lot of additional precautions are necessary. Readers
should know that fasting for a longer period is no doubt
easy but very difficult to break. In case, the fast is not
broken properly, a lot of deadly consequences might be
faced by the person concerned. It may lead even to the
death of the person. You should know that during the
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 19
period of fast the digestive system of the person be-
comes weak. Therefore, while breaking the fast, the
person should use the mixture of water and fruit juice
to prepare the digestive system for accepting the food
once again,
Orange juice gets digested within 1 and a half hour.
Therefore, one should take one cup of orange juice and
one cup of water in the first 2 – 3 hours. In case, one
doesn’t have orange juice, he should take 10 – 12 pieces
of raisin or 20 – 30 pieces of Kishmis crushed in water.
For the next 2 – 3 days of breaking the fast, one
should take the juice or soup of tinda, torai, parwal or
gourd. On the 4th day, use of vegetables, fruits and
coarse meal is a right thing. On the 5th day, boiled veg-
etables with one or two chapaatis may be taken. Dal
rice or curd may also be started. In this way, it is gradu-
ally that one may come back to the normal diet. While
breaking fast, one should take sufficient quantity of water.
Uses of Fast
The latest researches have established that fasting
adds to the years of life and slowing down of metabolic
process leads to the lesser formation of free radicals in
the body which keeps one healthy. In case of gout, joint
pains, disorders of the digestive system, asthma, piles,
psoriases, eczema, swelling, obesity, leanness and sev-
eral other physical disorders, the process of fasting is
highly beneficial. Fasting wards off several disorders
of the body, mind and soul. It also has its hygienic ad-
vantages.
In the end, we would like to give you a piece of
advice that if you are a patient of high blood pressure,
never stops the intake of medicines during the period of
fast. Otherwise, it may lead to several deadly conse-
quences like brain haemorrhage, heart attack or pa-
ralysis. The diabetic patient should not skip medicine
during fast. If old people keep fast, they should always
take special care that there is no deficiency of water
and salt in the body. Atleast, one liter of milk should be
consumed every day. In case of over weight, one may
make the fullest use of the period of fasting. During this
period, one must take the maximum quantity of liquids
like soups, fat free milk, moussami, pomegranate, apple
juice, skimmed milk and gourd juice.
Over fasting or improper fasting for slimming or re-
ducing or increasing body weight through fasting may
lead to the deadly physical and mental disorder like bu-
limia on account of unsystematic eating habits. The
patients of this disorder may develop the symptoms of
sever depression and at times over eating like a bull.
Therefore, it is necessary that whenever one goes on
fast, he should take a lot of care and always follow all
the guidelines laid down in the article. Only then one
can reap the proper benefits of fasting.

Sweating is a good sign for the skin but some people sweat,
they smell bad. Their sweat has a bad smell which compels people
to run away from them. Not that they are not aware about the
odour. Such people sometimes suffer from inferiority complex.

Every human being sweats. Sweating is a good sign
for the skin but some people sweat, they smell bad.
Their sweat has a odour which compels people to run
away from them. Not that they are not aware about the
odour. Such people sometimes suffer from inferiority
complex. This article is specifically for people with body
odour.
It is seen that after doing a certain amount of physi-
cal work people sweat a lot. In fact their clothes get
drenched in the sweat and bad smell starts coming from
their body. Actually it’s a wrong belief that sweat smells.
The reality is that sweat does not have a pungent smell
but it does have some mild odour. After drying of sweat
the organic matter left is attacked by the bacteria and
they multiply in numbers. These bacteria live on the
skin and become active whenever given a chance.
This results in bad odour from the body. After tough
physical exercise, the acryin sweat glands found all over
our body become active. Any kind of physical exercise
makes these glands secrete a lot of water as compare
to organic matter. As a result bacteria in that lives on
the skin cannot become active most of the time and
there is no bad smell. But when a person is tensed,
nervous, angry or aggressive the body secretion of
epocrime sweat glands increases. Such glands are found
in a few areas of the body like underarms. Such glands
secrete cold water, this way the organic matter is left
back on the skin and the bacteria gets a chance to mul-
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 23
tiply and spread bad odour. People wearing tight fitted
or synthetic clothes smell the most as bacteria gets a
better opportunity to multiply. An important factor about
these glands is that they start multiplying when a per-
son enters teenage and follow them till they reach adult-
hood. Later these glands become inactive.
Normally it is said that men secrete sweat with bad
odour and women secrete sweet smelling sweat. It has
no basis. Both genders secrete similar sweat.
Some people use antiperspirants or deodorants to
get rid of the bad body odour. Antiperspirants are used
to stop the sweat from secreting and deodorants are
used to stop the bad smell in the sweat. Deodorants
normally help in increasing the bacteria present and an-
tiperspirants kill the bacteria but at times the skin gets
irritated by it and might face allergy.
Why does the sweat stink?
When sweat is secreted from the skin pores it is
odourless. Sweat secretes urea, salt, protein and fat
with it. If the sweat on the skin does not evaporate, the
bacteria, fat and protein present in the sweat get acti-
vated and turn the sweat into ammonia. This is the rea-
son that sweats starts stinking.
Why do we Sweat?
Human skin has at least 20 lakh sweat glands un-
derneath. These sweat glands help secrete sweat. Ev-
ery gland has small minute tubes. These tubes open up
on the surface of the skin. Through these glands the

Six pack and eight pack abs has become a fashion,

youngsters are becoming more and more aware about
the benefits of exercising. Exercise is no doubt the best
possible thing for a body but simply starting exercise
without proper knowledge could be harmful.

exercising. Exercising means sweating and sweating

It’s called a mad-mad world. Everybody
wants to do everything. There seems to be no full stop
for anyone. Here we can blame no one. In this com-
petitive world everyone has to perform and prove one-
self every second. So where is the time for our self. If
we take out sometime for ourselves and exercise regu-
larly it will keep our body fit and healthy, it will not only
make us feel good and energetic but it will help us look
better, attractive and our day will begin and end
smoothly. Very few people actually understand the
importance of keeping fit and follow it religiously. Such
people exercise regularly and keep their body healthy,
flexible and strong.
As we all know any kind of ailment, illness or dis-
ease is not good for the body. We need to think how to
feel happy, be healthy and strong, strong enough to fight
out any foreign body. Obesity is a disease which invites
many other problems with it. Obesity makes the body
look obscene though obesity can be controlled by regu-
lar exercising.
Why Do We Gain Weight ?
Human skin is made of many layers. Lack of exer-
cise makes the skin thick which is not healthy for the
skin and of course for the body too. Gradually the body
starts gaining weight because of the accumulation of
skin. Finally it leads to obesity. Obesity anyways is an
invitation to diseases. Here comes the role of regular

means that the pores in the skin open up and get space
to breath. In this process the skin layers do not accu-
mulate and we maintain a balanced weight. Right food
habits with regular exercise helps the body to keep fit
and healthy. Another very important point about exer-
cising is that it keeps you fresh, boosts your confidence
and you become a positive thinker.
Six Pack Abs
Six pack and eight pack abs has become a fashion,
a status symbol for youngster. This shows that the young-
sters are becoming more and more aware about the
benefits of exercise. Exercise is no doubt the best pos-
sible thing for a body but simply starting exercise with-
out proper knowledge could be harmful. For a beginner
it is a must to know research about a decent gymna-
sium witha have a proper trained instructor. Instructor
will first examin your body to know various details like
a) The fat portion,
b) Flexibility in the body
c) The muscle strength
d) Weight of the bones
e) Blood pressure check up
He will also check the respiratory and the condition
of the heart. All the check ups are important as it will
help the trainer to set an exercising regime for you.
Stomach should be empty before starting any exercise.
O0ne hour exercising schedule should be enough to
regulate the body system. Exercising has a basic rule
which should be always followed and that is to begin
with a ten minute warm up exercises and end up with a
ten minute cool down exercises. Rest of the 40 minutes
has many forms. We can exercise
by doing swimming, which tones up
our body and energises it too. In
aerobics almost all parts of the body
are utilised and that gives body more
energy. Walking, running and swim-
ming are such form of exercise
which anybody can do. Backbone
is a very important part of our body,
it should be flexible. To get rid of
stiffness in the body and the back-
bone specifically yoga under a
trained instructor can be a good op-
tion. With exercise one must eat a
good nutritious diet. Never over eat.
Drink lots of water. Keep a gap be-
tween breakfast and lunch. Avoid
junk food. Coming back to exercis-
ing, keep changing the exercises as
the body gets used to it and gives
lesser results also there should be
newness as it gets boring after a
while. Avoid indoor games. Indul-
gence in games is a must as it helps
release stress and tension.
Yoga and pranayam also help in
relieving mental tension. They also
help strengthen the internal body
organs. It is observed that after
working for long hours on the com-
puter the fingers and the wrist pain
a lot. To get rid of this problem one
should move the wrist in clockwise
and anti clockwise direction. This
should be practised every day for at
least 5 to 10 minutes.

I n several abdominal and intestinal disorders, the
worms have their role. There are four types of such
worms namely Putishaj, Mucous related, blood related
and filth related. These worms may manifest any of the
gents, ladies, young and old.
Consumption of fly infected eatables, anything sour,
oil, red chilies indigestible or hard to digest food stuff,
creates worms in the stomach. These include white
coloured worms which manifest in children because of
improper ablution. Size of the tape like worms is between
half to six centimeters. Mostly the adults are their vic-
tims. Small pieces of these worms pass out in the stool.
Round shaped worms are called Ground worms. These
are of the size between 12 – 40 centimeters.

High Blood Pressure is one of the commonest and serious diseases
of today. It is a dangerous disease as it sleeps in the body quietly for
years. It keeps damaging the body parts secretly. HBP is a cause of
great concern as by the time we get to know about it, the damage is
already done to the various body parts like the heart, kidneys, eyes and
the brain. HBP is a disease of the modern era. Initially this disease was
said to be rich people's disease but now it’s not so.Mostly people above

still this disease is not curable as it resides in the body without showing
any symptoms. HBP and heart disease go hand in hand. An adult whose
blood pressure is abnormal due to some internal reasons gradually reaches
to or some times crosses the normal blood pressure measure which is
140/90.
According to various researches high bp patients are found the most
in Finland. European countries are also not left behind in this race. More
than 10% people are suffering from hbp in these countries. Japan too is
not spared. Brazil has left all the countries behind if the check the per-
centage of hbp sufferers. Its has one crore thirty lacs hbp patients. Why
to leave India. India is catching up with this disease. Here adults are
facing a combination of diseases — high bp and diabetes. This combina-
tion could be deadly. India has left even Brazil in numbers as India has
approx. thirty crore people suffering from coronary artery disease and
every year approx. 20 % more CAD patients are added. If this disease
is not taken care of at time then in the coming years hbp will be included
as one of the deadliest diseases of the period. And surely India will be the
first in the list.
We have already mentioned that this disease comes up only after the
age of fourty. In the first four months of the year blood pressure in-
creases in the patients. August, september and october are the months
when this disease troubles less. In the months of may, june , july the blood

Ram Prasad Bismil
One cannot tend to forget the
names of those who sacrificed their
entire lives for their country. One
such name is Ram Prasad Bismil,
whose name is marked with the
golden letters, for his sacrifices
during the freedom movement of
motherland India. One of his
quotes- ‘I have desire to secrifice
my life, how I have to see the
enemies’ strength”. It is a known
fact that people of all ages- were
inspired to sacrifice their own lives
for their motherland during the
freedom movement. In the current
day also, we do hear such poetic
lines from which we get the inspira-
tion to protect the dignity and pride
of our great motherland.

This means:
“Isn’t it awfully shame that comes out from each vein of my
body always?
The sword cannot take the life, till the time it is destined to take
someone’s life”.
One cannot tend to forget the names of those who sacrificed their
entire lives for their country. One such name is that of Ram Prasad
Bismil, whose name is marked with the golden letters, for his sacri-
fices during the freedom movement of motherland India. One of his
quotes-’I have desire to secrifice my life, how I have to see the en-
emies’ strength”. It is a known fact that people of all ages- were
inspired to sacrifice their own lives for their motherland during the
freedom movement. In the current day also, we do hear such poetic
lines from which we get the inspiration to protect the dignity and
pride of our great motherland. The stories of such freedom fighters
and martyrs of the indomitable courage and sacrifice should be com-
municated to all members of young generation so that they might
understand the importance of those who had sacrificed their own
lives for us. In order to get the freedom for their country, many of
them intentionall accepted to be hanged till death without any com-
plaints in the death gallows. Most of the mothers granted their pam-
pered sons to become martyrs and were separated forever from them.
Many sisters did not enjoy the bliss of their marriage and willingly
joined the pyres of their husbands in the cremation grounds even
before they could introduce to their married lives. The great martyrs
of India laid the foundation stone to achieve freedom for their coun-
try at any cost and this is marked permanently in the history of time.
Thus, the conditional question for us-If there had been no such sac-
rifices, and then what could have been the hue of our golden indepen-
dence?
When the British had complete control in their firm hands over us
and were achieving their targets at a fast pace, every single individual
was emerging from every corner of India to join to fight and get
freedom from them. The revolution began in the youth to be free
from slavery.
Though there was diversity among people, yet there was a com-
mon determination and motive lighted among each one of them. Among
the diversified groups, there was a class of individuals who were
driving on the path of non-cooperation and non-violence in order to
get freedom from the foreign rulers, at the same time; we might
witness another class of enthusiastic heroes who adopted revolution-
ary mode without any fears to taste the freedom of the country.
On the occasion of centenary celebrations of Ram Prasad Bismil,
I am going to present a narrative episode from his life wherein his
own revolutionary and unfaithful friends attacked him and tried to
take his life.
This was the time when he and his friends were residing in a
hospice in Prayag (Allahabad) decided to stay for another two-three
 A ccording to the yoga Guru Baba Ram Dev, we
should bring back all the hoarded money deposited in all
international banks and he would try his best to mobilise
the consent of people as much as possible. He said, “This
might be a political issue for anyone but it is an issue of
national property for me. Thus, we are concerned about
it. Therefore, there would be a voice raised against it
from my side and people who support me on this matter.
We would try our best to bring it back. We might compel
our government to help us on this issue”. He added that
the political and national leaders of our country are far
away from their duties, not focused and possess dual
character. Changes are not possible due to abuses or bad
language and throwing of shoes. However, it is possible
only through the votes. Looking at the current political
scenarios and to get the good parties which are cleansed
thoroughly for the changes, Baba Ramdev says that he is
not at all interested to gain a political seat in the
country.However; he would not keep quiet and witness
the wrong things happening around him. He would not
remain silent on this matter at all.
Q) Why are you trying to parity the political par-
ties along with the practice of yoga? Are you trying
to introduce yourself to the domain of politics or plan-
ning to form a political party?
A) I was never a part of a political party in the past, I
will not in current scenarios and do not intend to
join it in near future also.However,in order to main-
tain democracy and to purify the nature of our po-
litical conditions prevailing in our
country, I would like to start off a
movement. I am practicing yoga
and delivering lectures on spiritual-
ism in order to make the politi-
cal leaders strong so that they
might lead the country in a
perfect and pious
manner.Thus, I am only en-
lightening people around
me.All those individuals who
love their country and are con-
cerned about her, would surely
join me and result would be
victorious for all of us. I can-
not keep silence and sit with-
out taking any initiative. I
would openly revolt and fight
against the corrupted political
scenarios and positions in the
country .Therefore, one should
not view it from a political angle.
Q) Are you trying to
build an army of people
against the political situa-
tion in the country? What is
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 45
your primary goal?
A) I do not have any motive to occupy a political seat.
My main goal is to build a strong country with the help of
Yoga Dharma. I would like to enlighten individuals to open
their eyes and wake up from the deep sleep for the pre-
vailing corruptions around them. I would like to see a
country which is very healthy, free from all kinds of cor-
ruptions and frauds, wealthy and pious by nature. I would
like to encourage people to practice yoga, build a strong
character for themselves so that they, in turn, construct

The case is clearly being presented and openly
in front of the central government. There are many
fingers raised against the central government about
their lenient behaviors also.However, they claim
that the Government is looking into the case very
seriously.However; the truth is that the government
cannot comment anything at the moment because
the case is being examined properly from all angles.
Ram Jethmalani and five other well-known per-
sonalities filed a case against the black money de-
posited in the foreign banks and against the cor-
rupted people. They wanted him case to be exam-
ined thoroughly. Germany and America had exam-
ined the cases for the wealth that has been depos-
ited in other countries. India has not yet done any-
thing on this. We all know the truth that there is a
total amount of 70 lakh crores of money is present
in the banks. America and France had pressurized
other banks to return their country’s wealth. The
money present in the Swiss bank would be useful
to bring back our country back on its track of de-
velopment and progress. One can really change the
entire situation of the country with the money
present in other countries.

from the side of all those who love their country more

them to rule the country. I would perform only those
actions which are quite similar to that of Chanakya or

` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 47
-Dr. Bhawani Lal Bhartiya
U nion of the individual soul with the supreme and bring-
ing them closer to each other is called Yoga and devotion or
worship is one of its medium. Not only the common man but
even the enlightened and well read people of India and coun-
tries of the North cherish this notion that Rishi Dayanand, the
forerunner of India Renaissance was no doubt a great theologist,
propagator of Vedas, social reformer and harbinger of national
awareness in India but they doubt that he was also a great
devotee and a dedicated, humble worshiper like a beetle at the
lotus feet of divine who was treading the path of boundless
devotion to god. It is for this reason that a number of books
have been written to highlight the programs of Swami Dayanand,
particularly those pertaining to his nationalism, social reforms,
Vedic interpretation and negation of religious hypocrisy etc. but
only a few books are their to enunciate his role of a dedicated
devotee who was treading the path of devotion. I could find
only one such book titled ‘Prabhu Bhakt Dayanand Aur Unke
Adhyatamik Updesh’ written by Acharya Bhadrasen of Ajmer.
People do have a doubt that the element of devotion finds a
place in the programs of Rishi Dayanand and that of the Arya
Samaj which was created by him. Late Surindra Nath(the son
of the great martyr Shri Raj Pal ji), the former governor of
Punjab, also had expressed such a doubt, many years ago at the
end of meeting organized to celebrate the birth anniversary of
Rishi Dayanand in DAV College, Chandigarh when he has asked
me a question of that sort. My reply to the question was that if
Dayanand did not have absolute dedication and devotion to god,
he would have never been successful in accomplishing the task
of that magnitude as he did in the short span of his life. To
collect such devotional references from his life requires a sepa-
rate effort and time.
Before getting an introduction of Bhaktivad of Rishi
Dayanand, it would be appropriate that we acquire a brief knowl-
edge of the history of bhaktitatva in India. In Vedic and
upnishadic literature, we often find a word uppasana (worship)
instead of bhakti (devotion). In Taitriya and Chhandogyo
Upnishad detailed explanations of several uppasanas’ have been
given. Particularly in the Chhandogyo Upnishad, OM has been
treated as Udgeet(Loud utterance of the verses of Sam Veda
and direction has been given for its worship with the propaga-
tion on bhakti to sutra granthas enunciating the element of bhakti
were created like other books on philosophy(Sankhya, Yog etc)
which are considered to have been written by Maharishi Narad
and Shandilya, defining the element of bhakti, Shandilya has
of the meaning of Vedas, he also wrote a book called
Sanskar vidhi. In which complete details of all the ritu-
als to be performed by the house holders have been
given. While on one hand he wrote the first part of his
satyarth prakash to serve as a guide of Arya Dharma
and Arya Jeevan, he wrote the 2nd part of the book in
order to delve deep into the intricacies of different sects
of the world. While for an entry into the field of wor-
ship of god, he wrote a chapter on Sandhyopasana in
his panch maha yajna vidhi, he also wrote a separate
book titled Arya bhi Vinay to explain the element of
bhakti, to which the attention is given only by a few
people.
In fact, through this book Rishi has clearly specified
the actual form of devotion of god as propounded in the
Vedas. He felt that from all the four Vedas, a compila-
tion of such mantras amounting to 50 from each of them
should be prepared which may highlight the devotion of
the supreme and the exposition of Pranav bhav towards
Him. As regards the mantras of the Rig-Veda and the
Yajurved, he could explain and give their meaning but
for paucity of time, he could not do that in respect of
the mantras of the Sam Veda and the Uttharveda.
However, the height of devotion, faith, dedication
and submission of Dayanand towards his deity was para-
mount which is reflected in Aryabhivinay. The people,
who find dryness in the thought and use of Dayanand
and lack of sentiments and excess of logic in him, should
study Aryabhivinay. In the explanation of the first man-
tra of the Rig-Veda that is Agni Mide Purohitam(Rig-
Veda 1/1/1), as given in this book, Rishi has mentioned
as many names and qualities of god, stay undiminished
as compared to the splendor of 1000 of Vishnu sahsra
naam. Solicitation of Dayanand to god is also miracu-
lous. His feelings of public welfare and desire of well
being for the entire humanity doesn’t allow him to ask
anything for himself. Moreover, in the explanation of
the following month ‘Vayam Jaimay Twaya Pooja’, he
addresses god as Maharajadiraaj (King of Kings). He
wants an indivisible, monarchial empire from him which
is not a dictatorial entity of some Hitler, Mussolini or
Churchill. But the governance of noble persons which
may be inspired by the feeling of welfare of all and the
entire humanity. In this mantra, he wants liberty for his
country and praise to god in order to get rid of the sla-
very. At every step in this book, we find a glimpse of
the humbleness of a devotee and majesty of god.
It is one of the other salient features of the devotion
of Rishi Dayanand that it wants a devotee to be ener-
getic, vigorous, glorious and powerful. Contrary to it, in
the bhakti of middle ages, we find the tendency of hu-
mility, inferiority, lassitude and self condemnation which
is responsible for his inertness, languor, worthlessness,
inaction and parasitic attitude. In this conext, Dr.
Sampoornanand has rightly written that while in the
Vedic thought, a man has been accepted as a pious,
illustrious, enlightened, prosperous, non defined,
unvanquished, even in the face of death and an ever
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 49
lasting individual soul, the Puranic bhakti in the words
of poet Soordas has filled the devotee with inferiority
and asks him to consider himself as insignificant. See
the following lines of this poet that is Prabhu Mein Sub
Patitan Ko Nayak aur Mein Sub Patitan ko Teeko etc.
This feeling of cowardice to consider oneself as sinner
or the top most of them emerged from such formula-
tions of Puranic bhakti. For example, there is one such
line which reads as follows – ‘ikiks¿ge~ ikidekZ¿e~ ikikRek
iki lEHko%A’. A Puranic bhakt speaks of himself as a
sinner, one who does the sinful karmas’, is full of sinful
thoughts and one who has emerge from the sin. Is it not
so that speaking in those terms for himself, he is saying
in other words that his parents are depraved persons
and he himself is an illegally born child. Vedic bhakti as
propounded by Dayanand is very distant from the feel-
ings of the inferiority and self condemnation. It makes
a devotee generous, illustrious and vigorous. Bhakti of
non attributive and formless god is not deplorable.
Avatarvadi acharyas and devotees who believe in a
god with specific attributes, considered ignored, ne-
glected and at times even ridicule such devotees who
consider god to be devoid of specific attributes and
worship such a god. But remember it that the Nirgun
saints of the middle ages like Kabir, Nanak, Dadu,
Raidass, Tukaram, Namdev etc considered him to be
devoid of any form, figure or gross body and for that
matter, an eternal soul and an unborn entity without form,
figure and attributes and fully surrendered themselves.
They were not in any way inferior to those Sakaarvadi
devotees. But see their impudence. Even Tulsidass, who
was considered to be a model of modesty and dignity,
spoke the words of condemnation for the Nirgun devo-
tees. Nathpanthi sadhus who call that unseen and invis-
ible god as Alakhniranjan, were called by them as
neech(of low birth) in these lines ‘rqylh vy[kfg dk y[kS
jkeuke tiq uhpA’. Certainly, to call these Nirgun vadese
as neech is the high of their impudence. These devo-
tees were not in any way superior to Meera, Sur, Tulsi
and Narsi Mehta.
This matter of controversy raised by devotees and
saints of Middle Ages is an old thing. The devotion of
Raja Ram Mohan Rai and his follower Maharishi
Devendra Nath Tagore(father of Mahakavi Ravindra
Nath Tagore) who were the leading figures of Brahm
Samaj and contemporaries of Rishi Dayanand was not
in any way inferior to those who worshipped a god with
specific attributes. While discharging his duties as a
house holder and fulfilling all his worldly obligations,
Devendra Nath used to go to Shimla every year to lead
a life of solitude and devotion to god in the loneliness of
the mountains. Is it not the devotion of his sakaarvadi(an
idol worshipper) Ram Krishan Paramhans towards
Devendra Nath who was an honest and simple person
and without any effect of worldly ways of fraud, dis-
simulations and cravings and who was called a Maharishi
by Rishi Dayanand himself, something objectionable and
deplorable? There is one incident of his life and it is as

You take bath everyday but there are also some
methods of taking bath that, you can take it's benefits
and can fill your body and mind with freshness and agil-
ity. Now let us tell you about those new beneficial ways
of taking bath.
Waist Bath
Waist bath is used in stomach related diseases. Most
of the diseases arise from the stomach. If you check
them in the very beginning, you can protect yourself
from several diseases. For Kati Snan, fill a big tub with
water. The level of water should be such that the hips
may dip in it and water may cover stomach above the
naval. The tub should be such that one may sit in it
comfortably. Keep fresh or Luke warm water in the
tub according to the weather. In the beginning, you can
sit in it for 5 – 10 minutes. Gradually you can increase
the time up to half and hour. Rap a towel with rugged
surface around your waist and rub the body below the
naval from right to left and then from left to right so that
the food has accumulated there is gradually slackened
and comes out with the rest of residue and stool so that
the stomach becomes light and normal. Remember, that
only that part of the body gets which is in the tub and
rest of the body should not get wet otherwise it will
loose its significance.
If some patient is getting the benefit of this bath, let
him lie after the bath and cover his body with a blanket
or a coarse sheet of cloth to keep his body warm. A
healthy person should take some exercise or brisk walk
after the bath so as to warm up the body. Kati Snan
(Waist bath) reduces obesity, removes constipation and
several stomach disorders get destroyed. It removes in
digestion and improves the capacity of the digestive sys-
tem and cleanses the intestines.
Leg bath
Leg bath is highly beneficial for legs and calves. For
this bath, take tolerably hot water in a bucket and take
another bucket of water with normal temperature. Mix
some salt and lemon juice in the hot water bucket. Now
in this bucket, put your legs below the knees and sit on
a chair with a towel rapped around your body. When
the temperature of the water starts becoming normal,
dip your legs in the normal water. In this way, take this

leg bath for a total of 20 – 30 minutes. This bath is
especially beneficial in the stiffness of legs, pain in the
calves, cough, chronic catarrh and heaviness of head.
Bath of the genitals
Mehan Snan is more beneficial particularly for la-
dies but even gents can take the benefit of this bath. In
this bath, the genitals are kept in the water and washed
with that water. For this bath, fill a half of the tub with
water. Keep a high wooden plank on it with a dry sur-
face and sitting in the tub keep your legs out in the style
of Kati Snan. Now, dip soft and clean pieces of cloth in
water and clean very slowly the genitals or the external
part of the penis. Keep it in mind that, don’t rub these
organs with the cloth. This bath cures the menstrual
problems, Leucorrhoea and other stomach disorders in
the ladies.
Steam Bath
For Steam bath, there should be a wooden box. In
big cities, steam bath is taken in gyms and beauty par-
lors also. You can take a steam bath even at your home.
In the gyms, there is a separate room for steam bath
and a proper place is also to sit their. For this purpose,
steam is released in the room with a pipe. Gym gives
full benefit to the body. While taking steam bath one
should not put on clothes. A very weak person or a
patient should not take steam bath. Just after the steam
bath, one should bath in fresh water. Steam bath is very
beneficial in gout. It reduces obesity, removes blood
defects. The pores of the body become clean and open.
In case of any complaint of eczema, itching etc., you
should certainly take the benefit of this Snan. Besides
that Sun bath, Sona bath etc are also popular.
Hot bath is harmful for gents
Taking bath in the hot water for a longer period ag-
gravates the problems of the gents. Continuous bath in
the hot water may develop the symptoms of impotency
and deformity of the sperm. A bath in the ordinary wa-
ter does not bring down the virility of the gents. There-
fore, even in the winter season, the gents should not
stay in hot tubs for a longer period. It proves to be very
dangerous for their virility.

 Special significance of doing Yoga on the soil of Goudham
Pathmeda – Swami Ramdev
O n the very first day of Kamdhenu Kranti Yog camp organized
in Anandvan Goushala, Pathmeda near Sanchor under the ages of
Yog guru baba Ramdev, a very large number of pasticipants learnt
Yog kriyas. Thousands of pasticipants had already arrived in the
pandal before the beginning of Yog kriyas. Later on, at the fixed
point of time, baba Ramdev started the practice of yoga in his own
simple and easy way. He gave all the necessary instructions for Yog
kriyas to the common man in their own language and got the yoga
practice performed by them.
The Yog camp which had begun very early in the morning was
formally started with the lighting of the lamp by Swami Dutt
Sharnanand Maharaj, the chief patron of Godham and Gadipati
Tulsaram Maharaj of Brahmdham, Asotra. On the very first day,
people in a very large number attended the shivir of baba Ramdev
with great enthusiasm. On the first day of the shivir Swami Ramdev
Maharaj honoured the devotees of cow with a momento and shawl
for their financial co-operation towards the Gau grass service at
Goudham, Pathmeda. Moreover, gadipati Tulsaram Maharaj of Asotra
Brahmdham was also given a momento by baba Ramdev.
On this occasion baba Ramdev said that at the Goudham,

way of his selfless services for thousands of the progeny of cow
