बवासीर के लिए घरेलू उपचार

क्वैराल की सब्जी से दूर होता है बवासीर

पर्वतीय अंचल में करीब तीन हजार मीटर तक की ऊंचाई पर मिलने वाले क्वैराल में कई गुण हैं। इसके पत्ती, फूल, तना, जड़ सभी का भेषज के रूप में उपयोग होता है। क्वैराल को संस्कृत में कचनार कहते हैं। रामायण, महाभारत काल में इसको कोविदार नाम दिया गया था। इसका वानस्पतिक नाम वर्जिगेटा भूनिया है। क्वैराल के फूलों की सब्जी खाने से बवासीर की बीमारी ठीक हो जाती है। यह पेट के रोगों की रामवाण दवा है। क्वैराल पुष्प प्रजाति की जड़ीबूटी है। इसके पेड़ की जड़ों का सांप का जहर दूर करने में भी प्रयोग होता रहा है। क्वैराल का पेड़ करीब दस से 15 फिट तक ऊंचा होता है। इसमें गर्मी के सीजन में फूल लगते हैं। क्वैराल की पत्तियों का जानवरों के लिए चारा बनता है। गांवों में लोग आज भी क्वैराल की कलियों से लोग रायता बनाते हैं। इनको सुखाकर रखते हैं। ताकि बेमौसम इनका उपयोग किया जा सके। आयुर्वेद चिकित्सक एमडी डा. नवीन जोशी ने बताया कि क्वैराल के पेड़ का हर हिस्सा काम आता है। वह कहते हैं इसके संरक्षण का प्रयास किया जाना चाहिए। पौधरोपण अभियान के समय क्वैराल को प्राथमिकता दी जानी चाहिए।

कालमेघ करे बुखार को ढेर, छुईमुई से बवासीर छूमंतर

छुईमुई के पौधे को छुआ जाए, तो यह मुरझा जाता है, इसके चलते झाड़ी प्रजाति (शर्ब) के इस पौधे को नाजुक मिजाज माना जाता है। पर यह है बड़ा करामाती। यह बवासीर रोग को खत्म करने में कारगर है। इसी तरह कालमेघ पौधे भी बुखार को तोड़ने में कारगर है। यह पौधे हमारे आसपास होते हैं, पर इनके बारे में आम लोगों के अलावा कई बार वन कर्मियों को भी जानकारी नहीं होती है। अब जंगलात पौधों के बारे में वन कर्मियों को भी रूबरू कराने से लेकर नर्सरियों में लगाना शुरू किया है।
बीमारी दूर करने में कई घरेलू नुस्खे हुआ करते थे। इसमें से कई औषधियां घर और आसपास के क्षेत्र में होती थी, जिसका इस्तेमाल लोग इलाज में करते थे। धीरे-धीरे इसका चलन कम होने लगा। कई बार वन कर्मी भी इनकी पहचान नहीं कर पाते हैं। इसको देखते हुए वन महकमे ने नर्सरियों में पौधों के रोपण का काम शुरू किया है, जिससे वन कर्मियों के साथ विद्यार्थियों को भी इनसे रूबरू कराया जा सके।
एफटीआई स्थित नर्सरी में कई शर्ब और हर्ब प्रजाति के पौधों को लगाया गया है। इसमें से एक काला मेघ है, जिसके बारे में वनाधिकारियों का दावा है कि वह पुराने से पुराने बुखार को दूर करने में कारगर है। इसी तरह दारू हल्दी भी लगाई गई है। जो निद्रा रोग को झटपट गायब कर देती है। यह मधुमेह नियंत्रण में भी कारगर होती है। पुनर्नवा में नया जीवन देने का गुण है, नर्सरी प्रभारी मदन बिष्ट कहते हैं कि इसके सेवन से व्यक्ति का जीवन नया जैसा हो जाता है। यह हृदय और स्त्री रोग में बेहद सटीक तरह से काम करती है। इसमें पत्ती, जड़ आदि का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है।

कचनार के फूल से भगाएं बवासीर और थायराइड

कचनार का फूल जितना खूबसूरत होता है उतना ही यह सेहत के लिए भी गुणकारी होता है। मुंह में छाले आ गए हों या पेट में कीड़े हो गए हों, कचनार का फूल हर सूरत में कारगर उपचार है।

पीले कचनार के छाल को पानी में उबालकर ठंडा कर लें। दो से तीन दिन इसका सेवन करने से पेट के कीड़े मर जाएंगे और छाला समाप्त हो जाएगा। कचनार की कलियों को सूखाकर उसका पाउडर बनालें और मक्खन के साथ 11 दिनों तक सेवन करें तो खूनी बवासीर से राहत मिलता है।

थायराइड की समस्या से पीड़ित लोगों के लिए भी कचनार का फूल बहुत ही गुणकारी है। इस समस्या से पीड़ित व्यक्ति लगातार दो महीने तक कचनार के फूलों की सब्जी अथवा पकौड़ी बनाकर खाएं तो उन्हें आराम मिलता है।

मुंहासे से लेकर गैस्ट्रिक दूर भगाने तक, जानें जायफल के फायदे

जायफल कई बीमारियों में काम आता है। इसका इस्तेमाल कई तरह के घरेलू उपचार में भी कर सकते हैं।

जायफल को कच्चे दूध में घिसकर चेहरें पर सुबह और रात में लगाएं। मुंहासे ठीक हो जाएंगे और चेहरे निखारेगा।

जायफल बहुत ही थोड़ी मात्रा में गरम मसाले में प्रयोग किया जाने वाला एक मसाला है। इसके औषधीय गुण भी कम नहीं हैं। भूख नहीं लगती हो, तो चुटकी भर जायफल की कतरन चूसकर देखें, कुछ ही देर में आराम मिलेगा। इससे पाचक रसों की वृद्धि होगी, भूख बढ़ेगी और खाना भी ठीक से पचेगा।

जायफल, सौंठ और जीरे को पीसकर चूर्ण बना लें। इस चूर्ण को भोजन करने से पहले पानी के साथ लें। गैस और अफारा की परेशानी नहीं होगी। पेट में दर्द हो तो जायफल के तेल की 2-3 बूंदें एक बताशे में टपकाएं और खा लें। जल्द ही आराम आ जाएगा।

प्रसव के समय होने वाले दर्द से छुटकारा पाने के लिए जायफल को पानी में घिसकर, इसका लेप कमर पर करें, लाभ मिलेगा। दस जायफल लेकर देशी घी में अच्छी तरह सेंके और पीसकर छान लें। इसमें दो कप गेहूं का आटा मिलाकर घी में फिर सेकें। इसमें शक्कर मिलाकर रख लें। रोजाना सुबह खाली पेट इस मिश्रण को एक चम्मच खाएं, बवासीर से छुटकारा मिल जाएगा।

जायफल के चूर्ण को शहद के साथ खाने से हृदय मजबूत होता है। जायफल को पानी में पकाकर उस पानी से गरारे करें। मुंह के छाले ठीक होंगे, गले की सूजन भी जाती रहेगी। दांत में दर्द होने पर जायफल का तेल रुई पर लगाकर दर्द वाले दांत या दाढ़ पर रखें, दर्द तुरंत ठीक हो जाएगा। अगर दांत में कीड़े लगे हैं तो वे भी मर जाएंगे।

सरसों का तेल और जायफल का तेल एक निश्चित अनुपात में मिलाकर रख लें। इस तेल से दिन में 2-3 बार शरीर की मालिश करें। जोड़ों का दर्द, सूजन, मोच आदि में राहत मिलेगी।

एक चुटकी जायफल पाउडर दूध में मिलाकर लेने से सर्दी का असर ठीक हो जाता है। फटी एड़ियों में जायफल को घिसकर बिवाइयों में लगाने से फायदा होता है। नीबू के रस में जायफल घिसकर सुबह-शाम भोजन के बाद सेवन करने से गैस और कब्ज की तकलीफ भी दूर होती है। 

विदेशों तक भी पहुंची कासनी की गंध

ब्लड प्रेशर, शुगर जैसे रोगियों के लिए कारगर कासनी की गंध ने अमेरिका, नार्वे, बेल्जियम के लोगों को भी दीवाना बना दिया है। वह मुख्य वन संरक्षक के कार्यालय फोन कर इस पौध की बाबत दरियाफ्त कर रहे हैं। बरेली, बनारस समेत देश के दूसरे हिस्सों से तो लोग इसे लेने आ ही रहे हैं। आलम यह है कि 5 हजार पौधे जंगलात महकमा बांट चुका है। अब 12 हजार पौधे और तैयार कराए जा रहे हैं, ताकि बढ़ती डिमांड से निपटा जा सके।

लाइफ स्टाइल, खानपान में बदलाव के कारण शुगर, ब्लड प्रेशर जैसे कई रोगों के लोग शिकार हो रहे हैं। किडनी और लीवर के रोगियों की संख्या भी लगातार बढ़ रही है। इन रोगों से निपटने के लिए आमतौर पर अंग्रेजी दवा खाना पड़ती है, पर अब लोगों का रुझान आयुर्वेद से जुड़ी पुरानी पद्धतियों की तरफ हो रहा है। वन विभाग के अनुसंधान शाखा ने जो कासनी के पौधे विकसित किए हैं, विभाग का दावा है कि लोगों को इनके इस्तेमाल से फायदा हुआ है, लिहाजा इनकी मांग बढ़ गई है। मुख्य वन संरक्षक एसके सिंह मांग को देखते हुए ही नए सिरे से पौधे तैयार किए जा रहे हैं।

अनुभव किए जा रहे रिकार्ड
अनुसंधान प्रभारी मदन बिष्ट कहते हैं कि जिन लोगों को बीमारी में कासनी के इस्तेमाल से लाभ हुआ है, उनके अनुभव को भी रिकार्ड किया जा रहा है। यह कई रोगों में कारगर है।

वरिष्ठ आयुर्वेद रोग विशेषज्ञ डा. बिनोद जोशी कहते हैं कि कासनी लीवर, बवासीर, खांसी में कारगर है। इसका इस्तेमाल दूसरे दवाओं के बनाने में भी होता है।

मशरूम के इन प्रजातियों के शारीरिक फायदे

How India plans to weaken Dawood Ibrahim and his syndicate

National security advisor Ajit Doval has a strategy to weaken Dawood Ibrahim and his syndicate. The plan is to identify D-Company's offshore assets and get them frozen, sources say.

IB and RAW teams have begun identifying assets D-Company owns globally. Most of these are in Dubai and Africa, investigations show. This will need extensive use of the global intelligence network, as most assets are benami. Some are in Dawood's daughter and son-in-law's names.

Doval's Dawood dossier lists firms like Dubai's Oasis Oil and Lube LCC, Al-Noor Diamonds and Oasis Power LCC, allegedly owned by Dawood. Other firms include Dolphin Constructions, East West Airlines (now defunct), King Video, Dubai, Moin Garments, Dubai and others.

The dossier names one Feroze as a key syndicate member handling the Dubai operations. "Feroze handles Oasis oil and Lube LCC and is often addressed as Feroze Oasis. He's South Indian, speaks Tamil, Arab, English and Hindi. Feroze handles Al Noor diamonds too," it says.

Most of the syndicate's operations are in India, it says and highlights Dawood's role in the 2008 Mumbai blasts. The dossier details the syndicate's smuggling links in south Asia, Africa and Middle East shared with al-Qaida.



"Dawood has close links with al-Qaida as a result of which the US declared him a 'global terrorist' in 2003 and pursued the matter with the UN to freeze his assets. Dawood controls the hawala system. His syndicate has consistently aimed to destabilize India through riots, terrorism and civil disobedience," it reads.

The dossier quotes a US treasury department report citing D-Company's involvement in shipping narcotics to the UK and Western Europe. "The US has designated Dawood as a terrorist... and maintains a factsheet on him," it says. The US treasury department has details on his movements through Afghanistan in the late '90s under Taliban protection.

The dossier lists one Javed Chutani, alias Doctor, as Dawood's man handling operations in Dubai. "He's a bookie with interests in real estate and his gambling book is in the name of Kamran. Chutani is a bridge between one Tariq Dubai and Dawood," the dossier claims.

The file says Dawood's cash comes from drug trade; fake currency racket, realty and money laundering. Agencies feel once they have control over Dawood's offshore assets, "it'll break the security cordon around him. Once that goes, getting him will be a cakewalk," an officer said.

Dawood Ibrahim Married A Bollywood Actress, Has A Son, Claims Ex-Cop Neeraj Kumar

Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim had married a Bollywood actress and has a secret son from the relationship, Former Delhi police commissioner and CBI deputy director Neeraj Kumar has said.

India Today
The revelation was made in his in his long-anticipated book titled Dial D for Don which will be released soon. He also goes on to claim that a son born out of this relationship was being brought up by the Bollywood actress's sister in Bengaluru.

The Hindu

The former cop also recounts three conversations with the underworld don, in which the latter pleaded his innocence in the Mumbai blasts. Kumar was one of the investigators of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts for which Dawood Ibrahim is the prime accused.

'Stop chasing me', Dawood Ibrahim told former Delhi top cop Neeraj Kumar

India's most-wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim had called senior IPS officer and former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar weeks before his retirement and said 'stop chasing me'.

"One day I received a call on my personal mobile in the last week of June 2013 from an 'unknown number'. It was in all probability the Don himself. He said: 'Kya, saheb, aap retire hone ja rahe ho. Ab to peechha chhod do.' (What is this, sir? You are about to retire. Isn't it time you left me alone?) The caller hung up before I could respond," writes Neeraj Kumar in a chapter called 'My conversations with Dawood Ibrahim" in his book "Dial D for Don', which will be released by Penguin books shortly.

The book gives a detailed account of 11 top operations of his career, mostly related to the underworld, 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and criminal gangs across the country.

The 1976 batch IPS officer writes that he had three long conversations with Dawood in June 10, 20 and June 22 in 1994, when he was probing the 1993 serial blasts in CBI, during which Dawood tried to portray himself as 'innocent', who had no knowledge about the serial blasts conspiracy.

"The don spoke in a typical Mumbai accent, with confidence and an utter lack of fear. He made no attempt to please me, as is the wont of certain criminals when they are dealing with state authorities. He simply said: 'Saheb, iske pehle ki main kuchh bataoon, pehle aap batayiye ki aapko kya lagta hai ki maine Mumbai mein blast karwaye hain?' (Sir, before I tell you anything, would you please tell me whether you too feel that I organized the blasts in Mumbai?)," Kumar says.

"....he said: 'Saheb, mujhe yeh sab karna hota to mujhe hathiyar bhejne ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Hamare ladkon ke paas kaafi hathiyar pade hain.' (Sir, if I had to do all this, I need not have sent any weapons. My boys have enough at hand.)," Dawood told Kumar.

To this, Kumar asked Dawood if "his boys had that much RDX to cause serial blasts?".

"A flustered don fumbled for words for a moment and replied: 'Dekho, saheb, agar main yeh sab karta na to itni safai se karta ki police ke paas akkha saboot mere khilaf nahi milta. Aap ye baat samjho. Aap to CBI mein ho. Ek baat aur, main bhi apni poori family ko wahan se hata deta jaisa Tiger ne kiye la hai. Meri ma, meri behan, sab udhar Bambai mein hi baitha hai'—thus evading my question on RDX. (Look, sir, if I had to carry out such an operation, I would have done it with such finesse that the police wouldn't have got a whit of evidence against me. You should appreciate this point since you are in the CBI. And, most importantly, I too would have moved my family members out as Tiger did. My mother and sisters are all there in Mumbai.)

Kumar says that he didn't buy Dawood's ploy as there was enough evidence against the underworld don.

The ace investigator's book also gives a detailed account of how CBI, with the help of MEA, as part of covert operation, brought Yakub Memon's family to India from Dubai while Pakistan's ISI made every effort to thwart this operation. Memon was hanged to death in July this year for his role in 1993 blasts.

Kumar also trashed reports that India had made a deal with Yakub Memon's family in order to bring them back from Pakistan.

"No assurances were given to any of them at any stage. All claims of the Memons having been lured to return with promises of a lenient view being taken are bogus. I say this with all the sincerity at my command," Kumar writes.

An analysis of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s portfolio shows that his average returns have been highest from the stocks he held the longest

At a time when high-frequency trading has allowed market participants to transact in milliseconds, India’s best known stock market investor’s average holding period is still measured in years. And his highest returns are on stocks he has held for at least 10 years.

A 10-year analysis of 84 companies in which Rakesh Jhunjhunwala has an at least 1% stake reveals that he holds his investments for an average of 3.44 years. He has held his stakes in nine companies, including Crisil Ltd, Titan Co. Ltd and Lupin Ltd, for 10 years or more. He has held stakes in 15 others for between five and 10 years. And he has held his stakes in 65 out of 91 investments for at least a year.

In comparison, the average holding period for diversified equity mutual funds has never exceeded two years in the last decade, according to data from fund-tracker Value Research. The minimum was 0.93 years in September 2009, just after the outbreak of the global financial crises. The peak was 1.92 years in March 2015.

There is a caveat to this analysis of Jhunjhunwala’s holdings: Information is only available for companies in which his stake exceeds 1%, and is therefore mandatorily required to be disclosed. The analysis looked at 84 such stocks. There are also companies in which he bought and sold his shares, only to buy again later. These were counted as separate investments, with returns being calculated for each entry and exit. The total number of investments thus comes to 91. The analysis does not consider parts of his portfolio about which information is not publicly available. It can therefore only be considered indicative and not necessarily representative.

Jhunjhunwala declined to comment for this story.

The analysis shows that his average returns have been highest from the stocks he held the longest. His average absolute return on stocks he held for at least 10 years was a staggering 3,271.52%. And his average return on stocks he held for less than a year was 9.23% (chart 1). These returns are a simple average of the returns of stocks in his portfolio irrespective of their weight in the overall portfolio.



The 3,271.52% return figure is owing to multibaggers such as Lupin (13,855.7%), Crisil (5,588.6%) and Titan (8,272%) which Jhunjhunwala spotted early on. Not all long-term holdings have been a success though. Share prices of Viceroy Hotels Ltd and Bilcare Ltd are now lower than what they were a decade ago (see chart 2).



“In the long run, stock markets in general have been seen to move in an upward direction. Therefore, the longer you hold on, the probability of superior returns is quite high,” said S.S.S. Kumar, a professor at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode. Indeed, the S&P BSE Sensex has risen from a notional value of 100 in 1979 to a high of 30,024.74 on 4 March 2015.

This tailwind certainly helped Jhunjhunwala’s longer-term holdings. Returns were calculated based on the difference in prices between when Jhunjhunwala’s name first appears as a shareholder in public disclosures to the point at which it is no longer present. Smaller holdings for which disclosures have not been made are excluded.

Jhunjhunwala held his stake in 44 companies for at least two years. This is more than half the companies under consideration. This is an interesting contrast to Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and one of the world’s richest investors, with whom Jhunjhunwala is often compared.

Buffet is known for holding some large bets for many years. However, researchers who examined his periodic disclosures from 1980 to 2006 discovered that he held most of his stocks for approximately a year. He held his stake in only a fifth of the companies for at least two years, according to the study entitled Overconfidence, Under-Reaction, and Warren Buffett’s Investments by John S. Hughes and Jing Liu from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, along with Mingshan Zhang of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

One must keep in mind that the study looked at Buffet’s entire portfolio, while we have access only to Jhunjhunwala’s publicly disclosed bets, which are probably only his large, long-term bets.

Jhunjhunwala’s three biggest publicly disclosed bets are all more than 10 years old. This includes Titan (Rs.2,720 crore), Lupin (Rs.1,270 crore) and Crisil (Rs.789 crore). This accounts for more than half of his declared portfolio of Rs.8,663.33 crore, according to September quarter-end disclosures. His top sectoral bets include pharmaceuticals, information technology and computer-related companies, construction and auto and auto ancillaries in the September quarter.

Everybody, including Sachin, goes through hell during debut

 Everybody, including Sachin, goes through hell during debut


Hell – That’s the one word that comes to my mind to describe the feeling of a debut. Even Sachin Tendulkar would’ve gone through the same. And mind you, not every cricketer will know that he is going to be like Sachin. So everybody will go through hell, because a debut means your future is either made or unmade. That pressure is always there. Those who have seasoned themselves in it manage to play well during their debut and even after it. But it is not an easy thing. Very few people perform well on debut. They must be in really good form in the matches leading up to it, and if they continue that form, then they perform well in their first outing. Otherwise, if they have peaked too early, they find it difficult to cope up with the requirements of the pressure.

It’s difficult to overcome nerves before your first game. Each player has his own way of tackling it. Some indulge in self-talk, some in running through other memories in their minds, some try to focus on what is happening. So each player has a different style of mental approach. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, then poor fellow!

And then there are burden of expectations, which you can hardly do anything about. It is like trying to put the thread into the eye of the needle while you’re in a bus that is running on a bad road. The better your achievement, the more the burden of expectations. You have to put through it. You have to manage to face the present. Unless you learn how to handle pressure, you will not succeed. Mere talent is never enough. That talent has to be groomed, so that it goes into your blood.

That’s why, in cricket, selectors’ role becomes very important. They are taking a risk, based on whether a player’s past performance at a lower level will be equal to his future performance at a higher level. I remember Dilip Sardesai telling me about a young Ian Chappell. He played very well in his first match. There was a party after that. He was dancing around happily. So our chaps asked him, ‘How is it that you’re so happy?’ He said, ‘No person less that Don Bradman himself has told me that I’m going to play the whole series, no matter what.’ And what a beautiful player he turned out to be. So the selectors should know how to groom a player.

There’s absolutely no difference in making a debut in a team sport like cricket or an individual sport. It can be fine arts too, where you’re performing in front of a huge audience. Lata Mangeshkar felt that pressure every time. I remember seeing her under pressure before one of her shows, and I was surprised. I walked up to her and asked her about it. She said, ‘I’m used to this, don’t worry, it will be a good show.’ And what a performance she gave! So pressure is there across all fields, it just has to be handled well.

Whoever is making their debut should know that this pressure is not bad. It is an indication of your deep-rooted interest in what you’re doing. When they convert it into a signal for failure, they will fail. If they take it up as a challenge to perform better, they will succeed.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIABETES?

TYPE 1 DIABETES

Formerly called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, this is usually first diagnosed in children, teenagers, and young adults. With this form of diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body’s immune system has attacked and destroyed them.

Treatment: Insulin injections.

TYPE 2 DIABETES

Formerly called adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, this is the most common form of diabetes. You can develop Type 2 diabetes at any age. This form of diabetes usually begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin properly.

Treatment: Oral medicines and lifestyle

changes.

PRE-DIABETES OR BORDERLINE DIABETES

This occurs before a Type 2 diagnosis. Blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for full-blown diabetes.

If you are tested for Impaired Fasting Glucose (that is, to discover how high your fasting blood glucose level is), your fasting plasma glucose will be between 100 to 125 mg/dl (less than 100 mg/dl is normal and greater than 126 mg/dl is diabetes). If you consume 75 grams of glucose and take the test again after two hours, your blood glucose will be more than 140 mg/dl and less than 200 mg/dl.

Treatment: Concrete lifestyle changes such as good nutrition and exercise.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES

This develops usually during the late stages of pregnancy. Although this form of diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born, a woman who has had it is more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes later. Dr Abhay Ahluwalia, consultant endocrinology,

Pure Energy Needs An Appropriate Channel

    Nature has its way of providing balance in Creation. For every aspect, there exists one that is equal and opposite. Darkness is the absence of light; silence the absence of sound. Duality in nature, the coexistence of the positive and the negative, lends meaning to the whole of existence.
    If at any given time, there exists the entire gamut of the positive and the negative, the two will balance each other out, the net result being shunya or zero. There would be everything, yet nothing. The only thing fitting such a description is the formless, the Nirakaar or Para Brahmn. This is the swaroop or essence of Shiva. In the words of Shankaracharya: “Na punyam na paapam na saukhyam na dukham, chidananda rupa Shivoham Shivoham” – Neither good nor bad, there is no joy or sorrow, only the Universal Presence.
    What then do we make of Nataraja, the dancing male form, or the half-man half-woman Ardhanareeswara, or the sadhu whose body is smeared with ash? Are all these mere mythological constructs? To understand the import of these, we need to go back to the beginning of Creation…
    When Creation began, there existed one Supreme Consciousness manifested as Adi Shakti, the Primordial feminine energy. From her emerged Shiva. The first physical manifestation of Creation was the sound “Aum” emanating from Shiva’s damru or drum. His dance of Creation gave form to the Universe. Thus, what manifested was Shiva and the energy responsible for this manifestation was also Shiva.
    Adi Shakti then chose to be the consort of Shiva as Parvati. While Creation (including Shiva) draws energy from Shakti, Shakti without Shiva is just pure energy that needs a vehicle to channelise itself. Complete evolution becomes a union of opposing forces. This evolution is seen as the awakening of the Kundalini or seat of energy in us. The process involves rising through the chakras, what rises up being Kundalini or Shakti. This is a semi-dormant force residing at the base chakra. Shiva seated at the highest chakra has to come down and unite with Shakti at every subsequent chakra. Samudra Manthan or churning of the celestial ocean where nectar and poison were both produced is the Kundalini’s awakening.
    Amrit or nectar is the union of Shiva-Shakti that bestows salvation. The vish or venom produced as an equal and opposite phenomenon necessitates the role of a guru in evolution. It was Shiva as Neelkanth who took in all the poison and preserved it in his throat for maintaining balance. In this sense, an evolved guru strives to achieve a balance.
    Shiva then becomes the transformer, the granter of salvation, ‘dev-adi-dev Mahadev’. The first experience of Shiva’s all-pervasive energy is in closing the eyes. With eyes shut, one experiences a vast expanse of space, the chittakaash, wherein lies everything perceivable and unperceivable.
    The night of Mahashivratri has special significance as the energy patterns of this day resonate with the Shiva’s energy. For a spiritual aspirant this is the night of Sanatan Kriya and mantra sadhna. The guru, in his role as facilitator, gives the discipleseeker a specific mantra and kriya to practise at the right time on this night. Mahashivratri creates an ambience that enables close communion between seekers, the guru and seeker, and helps one to focus on channelising one’s energy in positive ways.

Understanding chakras

Understanding chakras is vital to harnessing the internal energy of the body and mind. Yoga guru Surakshit Goswami explains two important chakras — Anaahat Chakra and Vishudhhi Chakra

Anaahat Chakra: 

The word anaahat means unhurt. Situated near the heart in the Sushumna Naadi, Anaahat Chakra is also known as Hridaya Chakra. It is considered to be an important centre of microcosmic sound, which is known as Anahad Naad. This sound continuously resonates in our heart but is audible only when a practitioner reaches the highest state of Dyad. 
Anaahat Chakra is centre of:
• Pure feelings
• Love
• Peace
• Sensitiveness 
It has 12 petals. This chakra is related to the manonaya kosh (spiritual receptacle) that controls our feelings. In this chakra rests the life force in an ascending position. By continuous practice, a practitioner raises the kundalini power from Manipoor Chakra to Anaahat Chakra. He is in control of his sense organs and is assured of peace.

Vishudhhi Chakra: 

This chakra is located in Sushumna, behind the throat, and is called Shodhham Kendra or purifying centre. It prevents the spread of toxic substances in the body. Yogic literature mentions ambrosia that is released from Sahasraar Chakra, reaches Vishudhhi Chakra, and from there is distributed to other organs. This flow of ambrosia increases the body's power, prowess, energy and longevity. Vishudhhi Chakra is a lotus with 16. 
This chakra affects:
• The neck
• Tonsils
• Sound-generating organ
• Thyroid
• Parathyroid glands 
It is related to the Vijnanmaya Kosh, which is responsible for mental development. It also has the capacity to catch thought waves. By concentrating on this chakra, the mind becomes pure and serene. When a person raises his kundalini power from Anaahat Chakra and places it in Vishudhhi Chakra, he attains several anaahat siddhis.

Sahaj Yoga: Master Key


    Our ancient heritage is the repository of several techniques which come to our rescue in today’s stressful world. Sahaj Yoga is one of them. It finds mention in the discourses of Guru Nanak, Sankaracharya, Kabir and Sant Dyaneshwar. It is invaluable for one’s mental, physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. Mata Nirmala Devi has popularised the technique in over 90 countries and has helped weary souls come to terms with stress and suffering.

    Sahaj Yoga is the kundalini, the divine energy, which lies below the sacrum at the bottom of the vertebral column, which when stimulated ascends through the sushumna nadi, the spine, and corresponds to the parasympathetic nervous system. There is a spontaneous awakening and the union of our primordial energy with the all-pervading power of the divine. The awakening of the kundalini allows divine energy to pass through the six chakras or energy centres which take care of the physical, mental, psychosomatic and spiritual aspects of the body.

    In today’s fast moving world we often overstretch ourselves to achieve our goals. Stress is its side effect and it adversely affects our body system. But Sahaj Yoga is an easy way to distress ourselves. It makes us experience love and compassion.

    What does Sahaj Yoga mean? Saha means with us, ja means born and yoga is union. Sahaj Yoga is therefore spontaneous. Through it the residual divine energy, which resides in sacrum bone is awakened and energised. There are three nadis in our body, namely ida, the sympathetic nervous system on the left which controls our temperament; pingala, the sympathetic nervous system on the right which controls our physical and mental wellbeing; and sushumna nadi, the parasympathetic nervous system at the centre which has chakras to give us our qualitative attributes. If a person activates the chakras in this nadi, he would attain spiritual ascent and enjoy life to the fullest.

    Sahaj Yoga considers six chakras, namely mooladhar chakra, swadhi sthan chakra, nabhi chakra, anahat chakra, shuddhi chakra, agnya (not a chakra) and sahasrura chakra. All these correspond to a particular place on the hand and to a particular element of the universe. Each is attributed with special qualities.

    The first chakra – mooladhar chakra – depicts the element earth and attributes qualities of innocence and wisdom. The swadhi sthan chakra represents the element fire and is responsible for creativity and divine knowledge. Nabhi chakra, representing water, gives us sustenance and dharma. Anahat chakra represents air and attributes the qualities of love, maryada and fearlessness. It awakens the atma or soul. The shuddhi chakra representing the element ether is associated with divine diplomacy. It maintains integration between mind and speech. Speech is important and a proper coordination between thought and speech assures better communication. Agnya is for forgiveness and resurrection, representing the element light.

    If we are tense we cannot utilise the full potential of mind. Tension and anger have to be controlled. If this area of the spine is awakened, one can control one’s anger. The last chakra is the sahasrura chakra and represents all the five elements of the universe. Its place is the centre of the palm. This chakra attributes the qualities of collective consciousness and integration.

    Sahaj Yoga is a master key to solving the problems of the mind and the body. One has to learn to awaken one’s kundalini to experience happiness and enjoy the fruits of Sahaj Yoga.

What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini yoga is a form of physical and meditative yoga that comprises of various techniques using the mind, body and our senses.

The Kundalini energy is often represented as a snake coiled at the base of the spine. This yoga gives special consideration to the role of the spine and the endocrine system - both essential parts for yogic awakening.

The Kundalini is untapped spiritual energy at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras of the body. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the Crown Chakra (topmost). Kundalini is one of the more spiritual types of yoga.

It goes beyond the physical performance of asanas with its emphasis on breathing, meditation, mudras and chanting. However, it can be very physically intense and appeals to those who are up for both mental and physical challenges. Here are some of the benefits one can derive from Kundalini yoga.

- Kundalini yoga helps in the better functioning of the digestive, glandular, cardiovascular, lymphatic and nervous system.

- It has a direct bearing with the glandular system and hence can enhance the ability to look and feel great.

- It heightens the senses. So, your ability to taste, smell, feel and see with sensitivity are increased.

- It helps eliminate and get rid of habits such as smoking and alcohol addiction.

- Kundalini yoga helps to enrich your sense of well-being and confidence that comes from the process of self-discovery of your inner self and reaching a relaxed state of mind and body.

- It also helps overcome negative feelings and encourages positive attitude and feelings.

- You can experience better sense of self-control and, overcome anger and resentment to find inner calm and mental peace.

- It strengthens the immune system too and helps you fight off several diseases and keep them at bay. A positive mind is a great weapon against all of them.

Entire Cosmos Is There In The Human Body

Yoga scriptures say that the prana-shakti or life force called kundalini dwells at the base of the sushumna, the spinal column, in the muladhara or base chakra of each individual from where it controls the entire physiological system through its network of 72,000 nerves.

    There are two dimensions to the prana-shakti: at the external level, the life force operates through the sense organs and takes care of our worldly lives; at the internal or spiritual level, usually the kundalini remains dormant.

    Kriya yoga consists of a number of pranayambased techniques that help in hastening the process of spiritual evolution through awakening of the dormant kundalini with controlled breathing. The practitioner of kriya yoga endeavours to make the pranic energy revolve upward and downward, around the six spinal centres or chakras situated in the sushumna — muladhara, swadhishthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddha and ajna.

    Within the human body, or what is referred to as the pinda, is contained the entire cosmos or Brahmanda: the first five chakras, from muladhar to vishuddha, are the centres of pancha-bhutas or the five elements — earth, water, fire, air and ether. The sixth chakra, ajna, is the seat of the mind, while the seventh, the sahasrara, is located in the brain, and represents Shiva, the supracausal state of Consciousness. The seven lokas corresponding to the seven chakras are bhu, bhuvah, swarga, maha, jana, tapa and satya.

    Paramhansa Yogananda says “One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment... One thousand kriyas practised in 8.5 hours give the yogi, in one day, the equivalent of 1,000 years of natural evolution or 365,000 years of evolution in one year.”

    Yogananda was ordained by the will of the great Mahavtar Babaji — the ever-youthful yogi of the Himalayas — to share the ancient kriya yoga technique of attaining Self-realisation with the world.

    Through kriya yoga the awakened kundalini renders the pinda pure by piercing the chakras. The seeker is then able to enter into deep meditation spontaneously and begins to experience mystic phenomena associated with higher levels of Consciousness.

    A stage comes in meditation when the seeker starts hearing rapturous divine music called anahada nada that manifests in 10 different forms: chin-chin, chinchina, the bell, the conch, the veena, the cymbals, the flute, the mridang, the kettledrum, and finally, thunder or meghanada.

    The meghanada, accompanied with the sound of AUM, leads the seeker to nirvikalpa samadhi, the supra-causal state of Consciousness, where the awakened kundalini finally unites with Shiva in sahasrara. The seeker then begins to perceive the scintillating neel bindu, the seed of the universe, which is surrounded by a golden halo tinged with saffron.

    This sublime experience bestows upon the seeker spiritual enlightenment and realisation dawns upon him that both the perceived, the external universe, and the perceiver, the individual Self, are manifestations of the same Consciousness and that just as innumerable bubbles and waves of the ocean are inseparable from the ocean, so also the entire universe with myriad names and forms emanates from pure Consciousness and is no different from it.

Navratri: Awaken Your Inner Shakti
Anandmurti Gurumaa


    Although known individually as Durga, Kali, Saraswati and Lakshmi – the goddesses simply represent different forms of Shakti, the primordial cosmic energy, the divine feminine creative power.
    Ancient sages have narrated the union of Shiva with Shakti. Shakti represents primordial cosmic energy responsible for the processes of creation and destruction that occur unceasingly. The foundation of Shiva is the all-pervading Supreme Consciousness, without which even Shakti cannot function. The great sages named this primordial cosmic energy as Devi – the one who creates, preserves and destroys.
    The all-pervasive primordial cosmic energy is present even in the human body, where it is referred to as the kundalini, dormant in the muladhara chakra situated in the subtle body. As long as this energy remains dormant, human life cannot evolve and attain greater heights.
    Yoga, especially raja yoga, chakra yoga, detail the various practices required to awaken this dormant energy. While primordial energy resides in the muladhara chakra, Shiva resides in the sahasrara chakra at the top of the head. Until and unless a union takes place between Shakti and Shiva, human life lacks spiritual awakening.
    The transformation that happens in a person’s life when the kundalini gets awakened is phenomenal. It is as though the perishable mortal body metamorphoses into the form of Shiva.
    Science differentiates between matter and energy. However, tantra regards them as one; matter as gross form of energy and energy as the subtle form of matter. The divine essence of this energy is called Shakti.
    One cannot attain spiritual evolution without the presence of Shakti. As long as this energy is not awakened and remains dormant, a human life remains incomplete. If one lives in fear, perpetually seeking sensual gratification, sleep and lethargy despite having a human body, it is then indeed, a low level of existence.
    It is for the awakening of this very energy that ancient sages described this spiritual practice and worship for a period of nine days. For all nine days, devotees of Devi observe fasting, perform spiritual practices and rituals and lead a virtuous life.
    However, these days, Navratri is being observed in an antiquated, traditionalistic and ritualistic way only – people think that it is just about fasting for nine days, eating vegetarian food and abstaining from alcohol. But this is not the essence of Navratri. The mysterious, abstruse significance can only be fathomed by the one for whom the virtuous way of living is not restricted only to Navratri but is adopted for an entire lifetime.
    It is perfectly alright to house and worship an idol of Devi Durga. However, as long as you don’t make the effort to awaken the inner primordial cosmic energy, you will be unable to comprehend the profound spiritual significance of Navratri.
    Shakti and Shiva are incomplete without each other. This implies that unless the Shakti inherent within you is awakened, until it ascends upwards piercing all chakras and merges with Shiva at the sahasrara, Shakti cannot be the source of bliss and wisdom.
    The nine days of Navratri are an opportunity to perform and observe spiritual practices for awakening of Shakti.

Face-lift surgery may not boost your self-esteem


Face-lift surgery can make you look 10 years younger, but that won't effect much of a change in your self-esteem, a study says.

Andrew Jacono, a New York City-based facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, used a self-esteem scale to look at the outcome of face-lift surgery as perceived by the patient to un derstand the association between self-esteem and the results of aesthetic facial rejuvenation.

The study included 59 patients undergoing face-lift surgery from July through October 2013. Of the 59 patients, 50 completed the six-month post-operative questionnaire.

All but two of the patients were women with an average age of 58.

The overall difference between the average preoperative and postoperative self-esteem scores was not statistically significant, the researchers said.

While patients felt they looked nearly nine years younger, that perceived change in youthful appearance did not correlate with changes in self-esteem, the authors noted.

With the number of face-lift procedures steadily increasing by nearly 30 percent since 1997, it is increasingly important to understand the psychosocial effects of this popular procedure, said the study published in a journal based on surgery .
