Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ohm Narayanaya Namah Thank you Sindu for your advice and water therapy particularly. In daily routine I have included Surya Namaskaram also. I do not do all the 10 postures but only the first three i.e extend my arms above my head slowly breathing in while doing so, hold the breath for 3 seconds, then bring down the arms slowly breathing out -in3secs-, bend and touch my own toes for 3 secs, then stand straight with arms both on my side breathing-in slowly -3secs- then breath out-3secs-. I repeat 3 times early in the morning and another 3 times after my morning bath. In other words I accomplish Paadam thottu namaskarikkuka. I have learned, to avoid blood pressure, control intake of Salt. Blood presure will be controled. I have no conclusive evidence in my theory that Sugar has a connection to Cancer, but have observed in my own family that those who have consumed more sugar are affected. But my own personal experience about Sugar is that it helps to increase the triglyceride -a vital component in Cholesterol- to a dangerous level leading to heart attack that I suffered in 1999. I also had read somewhere that Sugar in Greek or Latin or Roman means poison. Our jaggery or chakkara is better than purified Sugar. But too much of anything is dangerous. By Lord Guruvayoorappan's blessing I am okay now. This works for me but at the same time I will not say that it will work for all. I am sure atleast some members of our group will find it useful.

You may wash your face thereafter. > Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hr. before and after drinking these 1.5 litters of water. > It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks shall be taken the previous night. > If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. Is it possible to drink 1.50 litters of water at one time? This is a BIG QUESTION? To begin with, one may find it difficult to drink 1..50 litters of water at one time, but one will get used to it gradually. Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and then the balance two glasses after a gap of 2 minutes.Initially you may find the necessity to urinate 2-3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time. > By research and experience, the following diseases are observed to be cured with this therapy within the indicated days as below: > > Constipation: > 1 day > > Acidity: > 2 days > > Diabetes: > 7 days > Cancer: > 4 weeks > > Pulmonary TB: > 3 months > BP & Hypertension: > 4 weeks > > NOTE: > > It is advised that persons suffering from Arthritis or Rheumatism should practice this therapy thrice a day i.e. morning, mid day and night, 1 hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner for one week and twice a day subsequently until the disease disappears. > > HOW DOES PURE WATER ACT ? > Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. > > It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as Haematopaises. > > That the mucousal folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method, is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that new fresh blood is produced by the mucousal fold. > > If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucousal folds they are turned into fresh blood. > > The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern. > > LIFE IS SHORT & INVALUABLE, JUST GO FOR IT.

Most of our people must have gone to Sabarimala. What are the rituals followed during the 41 days of Vratham ? I used to ask many people, " if you can follow all these rules for fortyone days, why cant you do it for 365 days ? " At this, many people just take it as a joke, laugh and walk away. The Vratham rules for Sabarimala are quite stringent, and during my boyhood days, I remember people used to say with fear and devotion, " if we dont follow the rules correctly, some wild animal will catch us. " Now there are no wild animals and hence people dont observe stringent rules at all, let alone 41 days-- they get initiated with Mala the previous day and push off in a vehicle.and are back in 3 days time. Life has become fast. > > First thing, as soon as we get up, (preferably before sunrise) look at the right palm as Sindu has written, because it is believed that Goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvathi have their abode on the palm. One should remember that there is a deity looking after each organ of ours, and that is an additional reason why we should not do any bad things. When any of the organs get afflicted with sickness, take medicine as prescribed by the doctor and also pray to the deity concerned to help rapid cure. (As Guruvayoorappan is the Supreme God of all those deities, one can pray repeatedly to Lord Guruvayoorappan to take care of our health, and He will take care of us.) Also it is a matter to be remembered that the Goddesses have their abodes in our hand and we should not misuse that hand for bad actions! (right as well as left) > > Before putting one's foot on the ground, one can touch the mother earth, the floor under you with the right hand and apply to the eyes, reciting the stotra, " samudra Vasane Devi, Parvatha-sthana mandithe, Vishnu-pathni namasthubhyam, padasparsam kshamaswa mey " , requesting mother earth to pardon us for treading on Her.. Then go to the Pooja room or any picture of any God, one's Ishta-deivatham, and pay respects and pray at least for a few seconds. After that, wash the legs up to the knees, hands up to the elbow, clean the teeth, etc., and if one wants coffee or something, have it, and comed back, apply a little Bhasmam on the forehead, prostrate before the God and if one has the time, the Prathah-smarana stotrams can be recited. It is not absolutely necessary that one should have his bath before praying-- if the body and mind are otherwise clean, go ahead and recite with Bhakti, the prathah-smarana manthras . > > Prathah-smarana manthras (with instructions. ) > > 1. Braahme muhurthe prabodhah karthavyah (One should get up during the Braahma Muhurta which is 1-1/2 hours prior to sunrise.) > > 2. Braahme Muhurthe utthaaya chinthayeth atmano hitham. Gurum Vishnum namaskrithya, matharam pitharam thadha. (After getting up during the Braahma muhurtha, one should contemplate upon what is good for him for that day, then offer prostrations to Guru, Lord Vishnu, mother and father.) > > 3. Braahme muhurthe Devanam Pithruunam cha samagamah. Jagarah thathra karthavyah Pithrusammananam hi thath. (It is duriing the Brahma Muhurtha that the pithrus and Gods will visit us. One should be awake during that time as a mark of respect to the Gods and fore- fathers. ) After washing feet, hands, face, etc., and wearing the Bhasma or Chandanam on the forehead, one should recite the following: > > a) Kausalya-supraja Raama, poorva sandhya pravarthathe. > Utthishta Nara-sardoola, karthavyam deivam ahnikam. > > b)Utthishtotthishta Govinda, Utthishta Garuda-dhwaja > Utthishta Kamala-kantha, thrylokyam mangalam kuru. > > c)Utthishtotthishta Viswesa, utthishta Vrishabha-dhwaja > Utthishta Girija-kantha, thrylokyam mangalam kuru. > > d)Vakra-thunda Maha-kaya koti-surya sama-prabha > Nirvighnam kuru mey deva, sarva-karyeshu Sarvada. > > e) Sarada Saradambhoja -vadana vadanambuje > Sarvada, sarvada-asmakam sannidhim sannidhim kriyath. > > f)Gurur-brahma Gurur-vishnuh Gurur-devo Maheswarah > Guruh sakshat param Brahma thasmei Sri Gurave namsh. > > g)Yah Sivo namaroopabhyam ya davee sarva-mangala > Thayoh samsmaranath pumsam sarvatho jaya-mangalam. > > h)Lakshmee-nivasa niravadya-guneika- sindho > Samsara-sagara- samuttharaneika setho > Vedantha-vedya- nija-vaibhava- bhaktha-bhogya > Sree Venkatachalapathe- thava suprabhatham. > > i) Kani-kanunneram Kamalanethrante niramerum manja-thukil- charthee. > Kanaka-kinkini- valakal mothiram aninju-kanenam Bhagavaney-- etc. > > j) Brahmaa-muraris- thripuraanthakas cha > Bhanuh sasee bhoomisutho budhascha > Guruscha sukrah sani-rahu-kethavah > Kurvanthu sarve Mama suprabhatam > > k)Bhrigur-vasishtah Krathur-angiraascha > Manuh Pulasthyah Pulahascha Gouthamah > Dalbhyo Mareechih Chyavano-adha Dakshah > Kurvanthu Sarve mama suprabhatham. > > l) Sanath-kumaarascha sanandanascha > Sanaathano-apyasuri -simhakou cha > Sapthah-swarah saptha-rasathalani > Kurvanthu sarve mama suprabhatham. > > m)Saptha-arnavah saptha-kulachalasch a > Saptharshayo dweepa-vanaani saptha > Bhooradi-koormo Bhuvanani saptha > Kurvanthu sarve mama suprabhatham. > > n)Prithwee sagandha sarasah-thatapah > Sparso cha vayur-jwalitham cha thejah > Nabhah sa-sabdam mahatha saheiva > Kurvanthu sarve mama suprabhatham. > > o) Prahlada-narada- parasara- pundhareeka > Vyasa-ambareesha- suka-sounaka- bheeshma- dalbhyan > Rugmangada-arjuna- vibheeshana- aadeen > Punyan-iman parama-bhagavathan smarami. > > p)Punya-sloko Nalo-raja, punya-sloko yudhishtirah > Punyasloka cha Vaidehee Punyasloko Janrdanah. > > q) Brahmanam Sankaram Vishnum Yamam Ramam Danum Balim > Saptha-ethan smareth nithyam Mahapathaka- nasanam. > > r)Ahalya Droupadee Seetha Thara Mandodaree thatha > Pancha-kanyah smareth nithyam mahapathaka- nasanam. > > s)Kaarkodakasya Nagasya Damayanthyah Nalasya cha > Rithuparnasya rajarsheh keerthanam kali-naasanam. > > t) Praathah prabhruthi saayantham saayaadi-praathar- anthathah > Yat-karomi Jagannadha thad-asthu thava poojanam. > > u) Phala-sruthi > > Ittham prabhaathe paramam pavithram > Pateth smareth va srinuvascha thadvat > Dus-swapna-nasas- thwiha suprabhaatham > Bhavet-cha nithyam Bhagavat-prasadath. > > Further, there are individual Prathah-smarana- sthothras for each God.

There is no need of taking bath before performing sandhyavandanam- -preferably if bath can be taken before that is ideal-- the fact is that the timing is important, whether it is the morning, afternoon (at mid-day) or the evening. Body and mind should be pure. > > On Pradosham days, during the timing of Pradosham (Between 5 p.m and 6.30 p.m., only Lord Siva and Sakthi should be worshipped. Everyday, during the sandhya time, only prayer should be perfotmed and nothing else. We will remember that Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu came into being on Diti's insistence to Kasyapa, her husband that she must have sex during that time, in spite of Kasyapa's advice to her. > > If anyone wants further clarifications, I shall write whatever I know. > > Regards to all, > KVG. > > 4. > > Pravin balan wrote: > Om Namo Narayanaya > Dear Sindu, > > There is a malayalam book called Krishnarpanam written by Shri.
