डी डी शर्मा जी
टाइम सिस्टम विदेशी रहेगा तो आप भाषा हिंदी कैसे
बोलेंगें ?
शायद आप भूल चुके हैं कि नेहरु जी ने १९४७ में हिंदी को प्रयोग में लाने पर
ऐसा ही कहा था | अभी आजादी चाहिए बाद में हिंदी को अपनाएंगे | आप में और
नेहरु में कोई अंतर नहीं दिख रहा है |आप टाइम को कम मत आंकिये | वर्तमान में जो
टाइम सिस्टम का प्रयोग आप कर रहे हैं वो आपका अपना नहीं है | वो आपके अपने टाइम
सिस्टम का अहित कर रहा है उसे भारत में एक्स्पारी माना जा रहा है | आप में
पूर्ण स्वदेशी वाली बात नहीं दिखती | आप वर्तमान नेतायों कि तरह सम्जौतों
पे यकींन रखतें हैं |
आप
ढोते रहिये अंग्रेजो के टाइम सिस्टम को जो बिलकुल गलत है जिसमे रात के १२ बजे
सुबह हो जाती है |
नया दिन रात को शुरू हो जाता है जो टाइम को मोटे मोटे तौर पर लेते हैं जिनका
टाइम का आधार निराधार है | आप मुझे बताएं आपके टाइम का आधार क्या है |
क्या टाइम सिस्टम कभी बिना आधार के आँका जा सकता है ? अभी आप पूर्ण आज़ादी के
लिए काम कर रहे हैं न कि पहले के जैसे आधी अधूरी आज़ादी के लिए
और पूर्ण आज़ादी के लिए बाबा जी ने पूर्ण स्वदेशी कि बात कि है इसलिए मैं ये
जानना चाहता हूँ कि क्यूँ समय माप पर खामोश है सभी
लगता है शायद मैं गलत हूँ !

काल ही मनुष्य के सुख -दुःख जीवन -मरण ,लोक -परलोक , एवं उत्थान -पतन का नियामक

काल ही से मनुष्य उत्पन्न होकर उसी में लीन हो जाता है-
"काल: सृजति भूतानि काल: संहरते प्रजा: |"

आधार सूर्य ही है | यह काल सूर्य के वश चक्रवत परिवर्तित होता रहता हैं -

नहीं बताएँगे ? क्षमा करें किन्तु मैं आप से पूछना चाहता हूँ कि आप स्वदेशी कि
बात करतें हैं और आप टाइम सिस्टम कौन सा अपना रहे हैं ?
क्या वर्तमान टाइम सिस्टम भारतीय है ? आप इस पर बात क्यूँ नहीं करते ? कृपया
मुझ अबोध पर कृपा करें | बार बार मेरे मन में ये बात आती है |
आप सभी भारतियों से मेरी बिनती है कि आप इस बात को बाबा तक पहुंचाये |

भाई रोहित जी !
आपकी बात सही है लेकिन मेरे विचार से अभी हमको उन बातों को प्राथमिकता देनी है
जिस से देश का और देश के लोगों का नुकशान हो रहा है ! टाइम सिस्टम तो बाद में
भी बदला जा सकता है ! इस से किसी का अहित नहीं हो रहा है ! सबसे पहले हम लोगों
की प्राथमिकता सत्ता परिवर्तन की होनी चाहिए ! इसके बाद ही सारी व्यवस्था
परिवर्तन हो सकती है !

Topic: Ayurvedic Diet for Pregnancy"Prakriti (A call to return to the nature)" <prakri...@gmail.com> May 25 01:44PM +0530 ^
*Ayurvedic Diet for Pregnancy*
by Martin Gluckman <http://www.vedicsociety.org/articles.php?authors_id=2>
Ayurveda puts special emphasis on the diet of the mother during pregnancy.
It’s ancient sages specified certain foods to be emphasized during various
months of pregnancy. This will help nourish a healthy and intelligent child.
*First Month*
Take *organic cow milk* that has been boiled and left to cool. Take it once
it has cooled to room temperature.
*Second Month*
* *
Take *boiled organic cow milk* and add cardamom and jaggery and any of the
sweet herbs listed below.
* *
*Third Month*
* *
Boil some *milk* with a tiny amount of *ghee* (1/2 t) and add a spoon of *
honey* once it has cooled below skin temperature and enjoy! Make sure the
honey is raw, wild and organic!
*NB: Take care not to heat the honey more than 40 degrees!*
* *
*Forth Month*
* *
Take *boiled milk* and add 12g of *unsalted butter* throughout the month.
You can add a little organic jaggery and organic cardamom. This is a very
special tonic for your unborn child in it’s 4th month. Make sure the butter
is organic and fresh.
* *
*Fifth Month*
* *
Take fresh homemade *ghee* made from pure fresh cows milk butter. This
should be taken amply during the 5th month. Take ghee only in it’s liquid
form – it makes a delicious snack drizzled over jaggery – Ayurvedic
Butterscotch! Make the ghee yourself if possible until it becomes crisp and
golden brown. Yum!
*
Sixth Month*
* *
Make *ghee* the traditional way and while boiling it let it boil with
cardamom, fennel, jaggery and any other of the mentioned sweet herbs. The
ghee will become impregnated with these herbs and be a sweet elixir. Take
this frequently.
*Seventh Month*
* *
Repeat as per 6th month.
It is very good to rub your breasts and abdomen in this month gently with a
scrub of pure sandalwood powder (you can mix it with a little rose petal
powder if you like).
*Eight Month*
* *
Organic oatmeal porridge cooked well with ghee, milk and some jaggery (some
cardamom can be added too) is very excellent in this month.
*Ninth Month*
Same diet as per above, all items are fine (milk, ghee, honey and so forth).
*Special Note:*
Cotton swabs should be soaked in organic sesame oil and kept in the vagina
for some time for oleation of the uterus and genital tract.
**
*
General Dietary Guidelines*
* *
*Foods to avoid: *
Heavy to digest foods such as *wheat*, *meat* (esp. red meat) and *refined
sugar*. These foods severely decrease the digestive fire (*agni*) and
produce mucus and toxins (*aam*). Deep fried foods are also heavy to digest
and highly *vata* increasing.
Sour foods such as *tomatoes*, all *sour fruits* (oranges, pineapples,
lemons, grapefruits etc.), *vinegars *and hot spices like *chilies*. These
foods increase *pitta* and heat in the body and also reduce the digestive
power (esp. tomatoes).
Fermented or fermentation increasing foods such as *alcohol*, *cheese* (esp.
old and hard ones) and *yeast* containing foods such as marmite, veggie
pâtes, soya sauce and beer. All fermented foods are sour in nature and
therefore have *pitta* increasing qualities. Whenever there is too much *pitta
*and heat in the intestines, fermentation is multiplied, thus resulting in
gas and decreased digestive capacity.
*Ice cold foods *and* drinks* are immediate ‘killers’ for the digestive
fire. They are best avoided totally, but if taken then not directly before,
after or together with meals.
Avoid *ready made*, *tinned* and *microwaved *foods! They are devoid of real
nutritional value, deplete the digestive fire and produce toxins in the
body.
*Foods to enjoy*:
*Cooked vegetables* such as pumpkin, squashes, marrow, courgette, spinach,
french beans, mange-tout, asparagus, fennel, sweed, sweet corn, onions,
carrots, parsnips, beetroot, cellery, chicory and leeks. However,
cauliflower, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, peppers, broad beans,
kohlrabi and potatoes should only be taken occasionally. Raw vegetables
(carrots, cucumbers, cellery, peppers etc.) should be avoided, but lettuce
and all salad leaves can be taken at lunch time, preceding the meal and
served with oil.
*Pulses* like mung and split mung beans, *tur dal* and red lentils are easy
to digest, balancing and nourishing to the body. Chickpeas, *chana
dal*,* *black-eyed
and kidney beans should only be taken very occasionally and must be
thoroughly soaked and well cooked. To get the full value from pulses they
should be eaten together with grains (esp. rice). Tofu made from soya beans
can also be enjoyed.
*Grains* including rice, oat, rye, maize, millet, amaranth, quinoa, kamut,
spelt, polenta; basically everything other than wheat. Flours made from the
above grains and also from potatoe and buckwheat are excellent substitutes
for ‘normal’ flour. Bread (wheat free!) should only be eaten when toasted as
the dry heat stops further fermentation. Porridge made without milk, but
with cinnamon and cardamom, coconut flakes, soaked raisins or stewed fruit
is an ideal breakfast: easy to digest, highly nutritious, warming and
energizing.
* *
*Seeds* and *nuts* such as pumpkin, sesame, poppy and sunflower seeds, pine
nuts, almonds (without skin), walnuts, hazelnuts, pistaccios and brazil nuts
should only be eaten in very small amounts (max. 10 daily!) as they are
heavy to digest and *vata* increasing. They are best soaked and made into a
paste or milk. Peanuts and cashewnuts should be avoided. The flesh, milk,
cream and flakes of coconuts can be used liberally.
All *sweet fruits* such as apples, pears, apricots, grapes, cherries, plums,
sweet berries, fresh figs, dates and also pomegranate. Bananas are very cold
in energy and therefore best eaten when cooked. They should be avoided while
having a cough, cold, flu or mucus accumulation in the respiratory tract.
Unsulphured dried fruits are okay, but have to be soaked or made into a
stew.
Of all *dairy products* *ghee* (clarified butter) is the best - it is like a
medicine (highly *pitta *reducing) and can be cooked with and added to
practically everything. Normal butter is also good and definitely better
then margarines and other such processed spreads! Milk should only be taken
warm and, preferably, spiced with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon or turmeric.
Good alternatives to cow‘s milk are soya and rice milk. Fresh cheeses such
as quark, mozzarella, feta and ricotta are easier to digest then hard, old
ones and are also less mucus producing. They are best enjoyed with some
black pepper to stimulate *agni*.
If *meat* is eaten at all one should stick to white meat only, i.e. chicken
and turkey. *Fish* is very hot and *pitta* increasing in nature and
therefore best avoided. If eaten one should choose fresh water rather then
sea fish.
*Sweeteners*: refined sugar should be replaced by *jaggery* (solidified
sugar cane juice), raw cane sugar, date sugar, molasses, rice syrup or
honey. Honey is not heat stable and becomes poisonous for the body when
heated, cooked or baked.
*Drinks*: Black tea and coffee can be drunk, but herbal teas and
decaffeinated coffee are better. Good alternatives to normal coffee are Caro
or Barley Cup. Ginger tea made from fresh roots is warming,
*agni*increasing, removes mucus and toxins and is the number one
remedy for coughs
and colds. However, if drunk regularly it would be too *pitta* increasing.
*Most essential is the use of spices*. Cumin, coriander, fennel and saffron
are the best for balancing all *doshas*,* *increasing *agni* and should be
used liberally. Black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mustard
seeds, nutmeg, all fresh herbs (particularily fresh coriander) and onions,
garlic and ginger should also be used. Asafoetida reduces *vata* and should
be added when cooking pulses, cabbage and beans to reduce their gas
producing properties.
* *
*Generally*:
- Cooked is better than raw!
- Warm, sloppy, soupy meals are better than heavy, dry, solid foods.
- Never mix milk with fruit, honey, meat or fish!
- Never heat honey!
- Only eat when hungry and when the last meal has been digested
(after 3-4 hours).
- To avoid diluting the digestive juices (*agni*) preferably drink
10 minutes before or half an hour after a meal.
- Try to eat at regular times in the day.
- Don’t eat too late at night and leave 1-2 hours before going to
sleep.

The Hazards of Synthetic Sindoor Studies disclose serious health risks from
chemical cosmetics marketed for the ancient Hindu practice of adorning the
forehead with red powder
Tirtho Banerjee, Lucknow, India
The recent New Jersey case in which a couple and their 13-year-old child
were diagnosed with serious lead poisoning due to regular consumption of
sindoor as a food coloring has come as a shock. Sindoor was never meant for
use in any type of eatable. Sindoor or kumkum as it is known in the South,
is meant for use as a forehead mark, referred to as tilak, bindi or pottu,
put on the spot between the brows which is considered the seat of latent
wisdom, the ajna chakra. The case highlights modern cosmetic manufacturers'
use of synthetic and often dangerous materials for making sindoor, which are
harmful, even when just used for ornamentation
While sindoor was the ancient name given to the very toxic, red, mercury
oxide, as a cosmetic its most common base is turmeric powder which becomes
red when mixed with lime juice or lime powder (calcium compound), moistened
in water, or with alum, iodine and camphor, or with oil and sea shell powder
(calcium salts), or aguru, chandan and kasturi. It can also be made of
sandalwood mixed with musk, or from a mixture of saffron ground with
kusumbha flower. Another traditional ingredient used in making kumkum was
raw rice in water heated in a pan until it formed into a glue-like red
carbonaceous compound which solidified on cooling. At the time of placing
the kumkum, it was made into a paste by adding water. National Botanical
Research Institute (NBRI) color experts say that in olden days sindoor was
made with a special type of red marble stone, covered with turmeric and a
little oil and left undisturbed for a few days, after which it turned into
red powder. In Tamil, turmeric powder is known as manjal and the final
product is called manjal kunkumam.
However, these traditional preparations have long been forgotten. Today most
modern cosmetic product manufacturers produce sindoor and kumkum from
synthetic materials, lead, zinc and industrial dyes. It is also called red
lead (Pb3O4). Manufacturers follow no single method. Some mix oxidized
metals and substandard oil to bring about the texture. Now sindoor is also
available in liquid form. Scientists also say that it would not be
surprising if the red sindoor color was attained by adding Rhodamine B dye,
which can induce hereditary disorders. Red is also being derived from
mercury sulphite, which can cause skin cancer. All these toxic substances
can trigger hair loss, edema and erythema.
Branded sindoor and kumkum, even the liquid sindoor marketed by the reputed
cosmetic company, Lakme, does not carry the mandatory label of ingredients.
Adding to the toxicity problem are a flood of unbranded products on the
markets. Even big shops in urban markets sell spurious or unbranded products
without a list of ingredients.
Way back in 1994, a working group comprising the Central Pollution Control
Board (CPCB), Delhi, CUTS and Pharmacopoeial Laboratory of Indian Medicine
(PLIM), Ghaziabad, was formed to verify the detailed technical information
of ingredients of liquid kumkum, sticker bindi and sindoor before awarding
the Ecomark. Ecomarked products must satisfy the quality, performance and
safety requirements of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). These products
are also required to declare the list of critical inputs and are not
supposed to be manufactured from any carcinogenic or harmful ingredients.
Though the Ecomark has been made mandatory, to date no producer of sindoor
or kumkum has applied for it.
Sindoor can cause local irritation and skin toxicity, says N. M. Khanna, an
ex-Central Drug Research Institute scientist. The nature of sindoor or
kumkum can change with exposure to the environment over time and this can
result in blisters, itching, rashes, pigmentation and, at times, serious
dermatological disorders. In a survey conducted by the Consumer Unity and
Trusts Society (CUTS), Kolkata, in November 2001, half of the respondents
(consumers) said that they had suffered allergic reaction to personal care
products which included bindi and sindoor. The synthetic adhesive used in
sticker bindis may lead to eczema, leucoderma or skin irritation. Dr. Roopa
Vajpayee, a consumer activist of Delhi-based Voluntary Organisation in
Interest of Consumer Education (VOICE), says the use of sticker bindis can
cause white patches on the forehead.
Monitorings of lead levels in food materials undertaken from time to time by
the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre (ITRC) have also found possible
exposure to lead through adulterated sindoor. A scientist at ITRC says lead
enters humans mostly through ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption and in
utero exposures. Ingestion can occur through lead contaminated hands, he
adds. Lead exposure can lead to a wide range of biological effects,
depending upon the level and duration of exposure. When ingested, inhaled or
absorbed, lead can harm virtually every organ in the human body, especially
the brain, kidney and reproductive systems.
Sindoor (also called vermillion) and kumkum have traveled through more than
5,000 years of Hindu culture. Female figurines excavated at Mehrgarh,
Baluchistan, show that sindoor was applied to the partition of women's hair
even in early Harappan times. Legends says that Radha, the consort of Lord
Krishna, turned the kumkum into a flame like design on her forehead. In the
epic Mahabharata, Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, is believed to have
wiped her sindoor in disgust and despair. The Puranas, Lalitha Sahasranamam
and Soundarya Lahhari all mention their use.
Hindu astrologers say that, Mesha Rashi or the House of Aries is on the
forehead. The Lord of Mesha is Mars and his color is red. It is believed to
be auspicious. This is why red sindoor is applied at the forehead and at the
parting of the hair. Both are signs of saubhagya (good fortune). Sindoor is
also considered to be the symbol of the female energy of Parvati and Sati.
Sadly, today not only the ingredients of sindoor, but the methods for
applying the bindi have been distorted. The traditional forehead marks have
all but been replaced by black and red velvet cloth pressings, available in
the ready-to-use sticker type forms. Sticker bindis, as we call them, come
in every color, form, size and shape. They are a fashion statement these
days. A majority of the young female population sports the red bindi as an
embellishment to match their outfits. It has been transformed into an
ornamental mark and lost its traditional meanings and preparations.
In ancient India, flower garlands were an important part of the evening
dress of both men and women. They were often accompanied by visesakachhedya,
painting the forehead with a bindi or tilak. In those days, thin and tender
leaves used to be cut into different shapes and pasted upon the forehead.The
dhava plant (grislea tomentosa) and its hard, blood-red clustered bushes are
referred to as sindura (puspi) in the Unadi Sutras of Panini's Astadhyayi.
Sindoor and kumkum have social and religious significance attached to them.
Placed at the top of the forehead at the parting of the hair, it signifies
that a woman is married. In North India, it is customary for a husband to
apply sindoor on his wife's forehead during important festivals. Sindoor is
offered to married women on Navaratri and Sankranti. Sindoor and kumkum are
also offered to Gods mostly in temples dedicated to Shakti, Lakshmi and
Vishnu. The widespread use of tilak, pottu and bindi is deeply embedded in
Hindu culture and here to stay.
A global spread of health awareness is prompting an industry-wide makeover.
Now many companies are claiming to be making bindis in ISO 9002 certified
manufacturing facilities with nontoxic and nonallergenic adhesives on the
back. Similarly, cosmetic stalwarts like Shahnaz Hussain are claiming to
produce safe herbal sindoor containing precious herbs and flowers such as
hibiscus, marigold, safflower and chandan. We hope the entire industry
follows their example and provides nontoxic products.

Priya Bandhu Mohit,
Pant shirt is not Indian. Please avoid wearing it. Also, stop wearing coat,
blazer, tie (kanth langot). Bharat ko yah nahin chahiye.
Wear Kurta payjama, it is comfortable. You get it anywhere in Khadi Bhandar.
Dhanyawad,

Adrniya Shrimanji,
Kya mein ye jan sakta hoon ki mission 2014 ke liye 543 nos candidate select
karne ke liye bharat swabhiman kiss tarah ki prakriya apna raha hai ya phir

leading politics karenge.?
Is saval ko aap sabhi bura mat mane balki khul ke charcha karen taki logon
mein bisvash paida ho.
Jai hind , jai bharat.......
Bharat mata ki jai.....
