The following article by Swami Purohit was first published in the September 2019 edition of the best selling UK magazine, "Health and Wellbeing".

All exercises are best done on an empty stomach: 3 hours after the last meal.

1: AGNISARA:

The regular practice of Meditation diminishes the desire to react, retort and hate, until these emotions vanish completely. Samadhi (a higher state of consciousness, in which the mind is free of thought) is the end product of regular meditation and allows us to live in a calm, peaceful state, regardless of the conflicts or problems that may exist in our lives.  

Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge)Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is often called the “Mother of All Healing.” Ayurveda continues to be one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful mind-body health systems.

Swami Purohit will visit the Galician city of Vigo this september, to hold a Spiritual Retreat from the 19th to the 22nd. Under the title "LIVING WITH INTEGRITY AND CLARITY", Sri Swami Purohit will address two moral values which are essential to understand, assimilate and integrate in our lives. One could never exist without the other. 

When we talk about meditation, we tend to think of a solitary monk sitting at the top of a mountain. This is because culturally speaking, through cinema or literature, we have formed the wrong idea about what meditation represents.  

We think that it is only practised by religious or spiritual people.  

Or we simply believe it to be a waste of time. If this is your take on it, we suggest you read on to find out about all the proven benefits that meditation offers. Reconsidering concepts and ideas is very healthy for all of us.

Today we will be talking about Chyawanprash, a polpular Ayurvedica supplement (Ayurveda: a traditional Indian system of health and medical science). It is a mixture of plants, fruits and spices, used in India due to it's properties, which increase our defences and therefore improve our general health. Chayawanprash is an ancient supplement, although perhaps not as well known as ginseng, royal jelly or echinacea, it has great biological value.
