Healthy Living: Ban of Sugar – Refined White Sugar most Harmful

Udaysree — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:05:34 +0000

Paramahamsa Nithyananda bans use of Sugar by His devotees and disciples

During the 10/28/2011 Bhagavat Gita Dhyana Satsang Paramahamsa Nithyananda announced the damages caused by Sugar (refined white sugar) and advised all His devotees and disciples to keep away from it. Truly Nithyananda has a valid point for the whole of humanity. This issue has been long known, but somehow ignored. Today the words are coming strongly from the most compassionate Incarnation, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, His 10 million followes around the world will deny themselves Sugar from today and switch over to natural Jaggery as a replacement to refined sugar.

Some salient features that justifies Nithyananda’s ban on sugar for his devotees and disciples are below:

Of all the foods consumed today, refined sugar is considered to be one of the most harmful. Read here why:

…In 1997 Americans devoured 7.3 billion pounds of candy. Americans spent an estimated $23.1 billion dollars on candy and gum. The average American consumed a record 27.3 pounds of candy and gum in the same year-the equivalent of about six regular sized chocolate bars a week-marking the fifth consecutive year of increased demand. (1)

…Consumption of processed foods (which are laced with sugar) cost the American public more than $54 billion in dental bills each year, so the dental industry reaps huge profits from the programmed addiction of the public to sugar products.

…Today we have a nation that is addicted to sugar. In 1915, the national average of sugar consumption (per year) was around 15 to 20 pounds per person. Today the average person consumes his/her weight in sugar, plus over 20 pounds of corn syrup.

To add more horrors to these facts there are some people that use no sweets and some who use much less than the average figure, which means that there is a percentage of the population that consume a great deal more refined sugar than their body weight. The human body cannot tolerate this large amount of refined carbohydrates. The vital organs in the body are actually damaged by this gross intake of sugar.

…Refined sugar contains no fiber, no minerals, no proteins, no fats, no enzymes, only empty calories. What happens when you eat a refined carbohydrate like sugar? Your body must borrow vital nutrients from healthy cells to metabolize the incomplete food. Calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium are taken from various parts of the body to make use of the sugar. Many times, so much calcium is used to neutralize the effects of sugar that the bones become osteoporotic due to the withdrawn calcium.

Likewise, the teeth are affected and they lose their components until decay occurs and hastens their loss.

…Refined sugar is void of all nutrients, consequently it causes the body to deplete its own stores of various vitamins, minerals and enzymes. If sugar consumption is continued, an over-acid condition results, and more minerals are needed from deep in the body to correct the imbalance. If the body is lacking the nutrients used to metabolize sugar, it will not be able to properly handle and rid itself of the poisonous residues.

These wastes accumulate through the brain and nervous system, which speeds up cellular death. The bloodstream becomes over-loaded with waste products and symptoms of carbonic poisoning result.

…Sugar also makes the blood very thick and sticky, inhibiting much of the blood flow into the minute capillaries that supply our gums and teeth with vital nutrients. Therefore, we wind up with diseased gums and starving teeth. America and England, the two largest sugar consumers, have horrendous dental problems.

…In 1948, a $57,000 ten-year study was awarded to Harvard University by the Sugar Research Foundation to find out how sugar causes cavities in teeth and how to prevent it. In 1958, Time magazine reported the findings, which were reported in the Dental Association Journal. They discovered there was no way to prevent the problem and their funding immediately disappeared.

…“The most significant human study was done in Sweden, reported in 1954, and known as the Vipeholm Dental Caries Study. More than 400 adult mental patients were placed on controlled diets and observed for five years. The subjects were divided into various groups. Some ate complex and simple carbohydrates at mealtimes only, while other supplemented mealtime food with between-meal-snacks, sweetened with sucrose, chocolate, caramel, or toffee.

Among the conclusions drawn from the study, was that sucrose consumption could increase caries activity. The risk increased if the sucrose was consumed in a sticky form that adhered to the tooth’s surfaces. The greatest damage was inflicted by foods with high concentrations of sucrose, in sticky form, eaten between meals, even if contact with the tooth’s surfaces was brief. Caries, due to the intake of foods with high sucrose levels, could be decreased when such offending foods were eliminated from the diet.

But individual differences existed, and in some cases, caries continued to appear despite avoidance of refined sugar or maximum restriction of natural sugars and total dietary carbohydrates.” (2)

…Diabetes is another commonly known disease caused by sugar as well as a high fat diet. Diabetes is caused by the failure of the pancreas to produce adequate insulin when the blood sugar rises. A concentrated amount of sugar introduced into the system sends the body into shock from the rapid rise in the blood sugar level. The pancreas eventually wears out from overwork and diabetes then rears its ugly head.

…Hypoglycemia occurs when the pancreas overreacts to the large amount of sugar in the blood and releases too much insulin leaving one with the “tired” feeling as the blood sugar level becomes lower than it should be.

“A recent article in the British Medical Journal, entitled The Sweet Road to Gallstones, reported that refined sugar may be one of the major dietary risk factors in gallstone disease. Gallstones are composed of fats and calcium. Sugar can upset all of the minerals, and one of the minerals, calcium, can become toxic or nonfunctioning, depositing itself anywhere in the body, including the gallbladder.

…“One out of ten Americans has gallstones. This risk increases to one out of every five after age forty. Gallstones may go unnoticed or may cause pain-wrenching pain. Other symptoms might include bloating, belching, and intolerance to foods.” (3)

…Another serious problem with sugar that is now coming to the forefront is the various levels of mental problems. Our brains are very sensitive and react to quick chemical changes within the body. As sugar is consumed, our cells are robbed of their B vitamin, which destroys them, and insulin production is inhibited. Low insulin production means a high sugar (glucose) level in the bloodstream, which can lead to a confused mental state or unsound mind, and has also been linked with juvenile criminal behavior.

Dr. Alexander G. Schauss, brings this solemn fact out in his book,Diet, Crime and Delinquency. Many mental ward and prison inmates are “sugarholics” and erratic emotional outbreaks often follow a sugar binge.

REFINED SUGAR-A DRUG?

…Refined sugar, by some, is called a drug, because in the refining process everything of food value has been removed except the carbohydrates-pure calories, without vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, enzymes or any of the other elements that make up food. Many nutrition experts say that white sugar is extremely harmful, possibly as harmful as a drug, especially in the quantities consumed by the present-day American.

…Dr. David Reuben, author of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Nutrition says, “…white refined sugar-is not a food. It is a pure chemical extracted from plant sources, purer in fact than cocaine, which it resembles in many ways. Its true name is sucrose and its chemical formula is C12H22O11.

It has 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, 11 oxygen atoms, and absolutely nothing else to offer.” …The chemical formula for cocaine is C17H21NO4. Sugar’s formula again is C12H22O11. For all practical purposes, the difference is that sugar is missing the “N”, or nitrogen atom. …Refining means to make “pure” by a process of extraction or separation. Sugars are refined by taking a natural food, which contains a high percentage of sugar, and then removing all elements of that food until only the sugar remains. …While sugar is commonly made from sugar cane or sugar beets.

Through heating and mechanical and chemical processing, all vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, enzymes and indeed every nutrient is removed until only the sugar remains. Sugar cane and sugar beets are first harvested and then chopped into small pieces, squeezing out the juice, which is then mixed with water. This liquid is then heated, and lime is added.

Moisture is boiled away, and the remaining fluid is pumped into vacuum pans to concentrate the juice. By this time, the liquid is starting to crystallize, and is ready to be placed into a centrifuge machine where any remaining residues (like molasses) are spun away. The crystals are then dissolved by heating to the boiling point and passed through charcoal filters.

After the crystals condense, they are bleached snow-white usually by the use of pork or cattle bones. …During the refining process, 64 food elements are destroyed. All the potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, phosphate, and sulfate are removed. The A, D, and B, vitamins are destroyed.

Amino acids, vital enzymes, unsaturated fats, and all fiber are gone. To a lesser or greater degree, all refined sweeteners such as corn syrup, maple syrup, etc., undergo similar destructive processes. Molasses is the chemical and deranged nutrients that is a byproduct of sugar manufacture.

…Sugar manufacturers are aggressive in defending their product and have a strong political lobby which allows them to continue selling a deadly food item that by all reason should not be allowed in the American diet.

…If you have any doubts as to the detriments of sugar (sucrose), try leaving it out of your diet for several weeks and see if it makes a difference! You may also notice you have acquired an addiction and experience some withdrawal symptoms.

…Studies show that “sugar” is just as habit-forming as any narcotic; and its use, misuse, and abuse is our nation’s number one disaster.

It is no wonder when we consider all the products we consume daily which are loaded with sugar! The average healthy digestive system can digest and eliminate from two to four teaspoons of sugar daily, usually without noticeable problems, (that is if damage is not already present).

One 12 oz. Cola contains 11 teaspoons of sugar, and that’s aside from the caffeine. It’s the sugar that gives you quick energy, but only for a brief time due to the rise of the blood sugar level. But the body quickly releases a rush of insulin, which rapidly lowers the blood sugar and causes a significant drop in energy and endurance. It is easy to see why America’s health is in serious trouble.

EFFECT OF SUGAR ON NEUROLOGICAL PROCESSES

…One of the keys to orderly brain function is glutamic acid, and this compound is found in many vegetables. When sugar is consumed, the bacteria in the intestines, which manufacture B vitamin complexes, begin to die-these bacteria normally thrive in a symbiotic relationship with the human body. When the B vitamin complex level declines, the glutamic acid (normally transformed into “go” “no-go” directive neural enzymes by the B vitamins) is not processed and sleepiness occurs, as well as a decreased ability for short-term memory function and numerical calculative abilities. The removal of B vitamins when foods are “processed” makes the situation even more tenuous.

WHAT ABOUT GUM CHEWING?

…Besides the sugar in gum being damaging to the teeth there is another harmful problem to consider and that is: “teeth and jaws weren’t designed for more than a few minutes of solid chewing per day-far less than the two hours clocked in daily by hardcore gum chewers. All this chewing results in inordinate wear on the jawbone, gum tissue and lower molars, and can change the alignment of the jaws” says Michael Elsohn, D.D.S., in the Medical Tribune.

The intake of refined white sugar creates cancer cells. At the same time, as we eliminate sugar intake those cancer cells drop and healing happens. Additionally sugar cannot be considered vegetarian as for it to appear white it is bleached in a process that uses crushed and powdered animal bones.

Comment by Ma Nithyananda Prajna yesterday

Thanks for these alternatives. I mainly would need something just for baking. Agave is another that I’m aware of. It is also a challenge for me to get the sugar out of my and my son’s diet. But I asked Swamiji for help with food in eN Health and it seems this is one way that He is going about it!

During the LEP I never had craving for any sugar, caffeine, or snacks. My body was perfectly tuned to what He was providing, down to the last grain of rice. Now to take the time and effort to cook for us in such a way so that we get all the vegetables and nourishment. Please continue guiding me on this, Swamiji!

Comment by श्री आनन्द कुबेर ŚrīĀnɐndɐKuberɐ yesterday: Other alternatives for sugar besides jaggery are (local and organic) honey — don’t heat it though (or put it a hot drink (let it cool off)) — and stevia (its steviol glycoside extracts can have up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar — and you can grow it yourself if you want to)..!

Prajna, jaggery is commonly available at indian grocery stores. it is yellowish brown in color and comes as a block of jaggery or powdered. as a block one can cut off smaller pieces with a bit of muscle and a sharp knife…

Comment by Ma Nithyananda Prajna on Friday: Nithyanandam!

Thank you for this comprehensive article.

As a westerner, I am not used to jaggry – how to get it, use it, ect. and will research this.

Could you tell me if things like ‘raw’ sugar or organic evaporated cane sugar would be considered ‘refined white sugar’?

eN Nithyananda,

Comment by eNLifeSri Mark on Friday: Documentary – “Big Sugar” - http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/big-sugar/

Comment by Sheryl Sankey on Thursday: Wow…..I thought I knew most issues with sugar, but this article was most comprehensive. It really has opened my eyes to aspects of sugar’s deleterious impact on the body as no other article has for me to date. Also, please note that processed flour products turn to sugar in the body as well and cause the same reactions in the body as sugar substances do. Both refined flour products and sugar are highly addictive. I, myself, am seeking help from the Divine, to get over my flour and sugar addictions. I pray that all of us who crave these substances which hurt and destroy the body and mind will be helped and healed of this pervasive problem. Thank you sooo soooo much for sharing this article. I will be praying to Swamiji to help me be strong in letting go of eating sugar and all of its derivatives. I see what damage it is doing to my own body and I see others addicted to the flour products (bread, etc.) and sugar as I am. Help us Swamiji. Hugs to you all.

Add linseeds and raisins to blender and blend with a little water. Cook red cabbage and apple with nutmeg. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add to linseed raisin mix and blend. eNjoy!

Samyama on Throat – Vishudhi Chakra

Udaysree — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 08:16:01 +0000

Paramahamsa Nithyananda

SAMYAMA ON THROAT – VISHUDHI CHAKRA

Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Sutra 137, Chapter 3, Verse 31

kantha kupe kshutpipasa nivrittih

“I am continuing on the samyama on the throat chakra: Kandakupeh kshutpipasa nivruthihi. Patanjali is using a very powerful word – nivruthihi means the very vruthi becomes insignificant to you. You go beyond it. Vruthi means that movement, that wave, that disturbance – hunger & thirst is supposed to be a kind of disturbance. Nivruthi means you just go beyond the disturbance. It is no more a disturbance for you!

Today I will speak on the 3rd dimension of this sutra. Yesterday I gave you the exact process – Visualize the intense burning sun on the throat for at least 21 minutes, merge into that visualization. Give a strong instruction when you are in that samyama: please balance yourself, please become alive, please express your intelligence.
When you give these kind of instructions, even if there are 1 or 2 mistakes in your visualizations or instructions, let the balance happen. Instead of saying let strong weight loss happen, give instruction, let you be intelligent and balanced.

I tell you all diseases related to obesity and overweight will disappear with this samyama. The kundalini awakening in the 1st level is a gift by me. When you levitate, if you practice this samyama it will directly start giving you the result in your life. Kundalni awakening is like me giving you a million dollars. Doing this samyama is like you spending that money for whatever you want.
If you are sitting in my presence regularly, even if you are not levitating regularly, if you are feeling psychologically something extraordinary is happening in your system by the master’s presence, then understand you are having the direct presence of the master and kundalini is awakening in you.
Sitting in the master’s presence means in our temples being seen directly by me or sitting in my physical presence – this is one group, sitting in your house alone and meditating is another group. When you see a clear solid difference when you sit in my presence, then your kundalini is awakening. Then when you do these kind of samyamas during this time, you will see immediate results will happen.

Mystical Part of this Sutra

Now I am going to talk to you about the mystical part of this sutra. I will recommend not to practice this part unless you are directly physically sitting with me & working.
This 1st part which Patanjali talks as nivruthi – means living completely without food and water. The 1st – changing the wrong signals to right signals and 2nd reducing the food intake – these 2 you can practice. But this 3rd one that I am talking now, you need to do in my physical presence so that I can ensure you are safe. I want to express it so that it is on record.
Understand, in this you need to get into a unique diet system. You will be surprised how this diet system can get you to a space of no food. This was taught to me by Issakki Swamigal.
First instruction is at least 8 times a day do this samyama. Means 21 minutes intensely visualizing the hot sun on the throat chakra & merging into that energy. After each time, have some food made out of the rice flour and ghee, usually he takes the ghee dosa. Have ghee dosa. You have to eat 8 times.
It may be like a paradox. That is how it starts. Do samyama 8 times. After every samyama he used to eat ghee dosa. You can eat a ghee and rice flour item. Eat as much as you can. But the problem is all 8 times you have to eat. If you say 1st two times you ate and 3rd time you are not able to eat. No. something is wrong.
If you continue this after every samyama it will become half in 10 days. Then it will become quarter after 20 days. Then after every samyama within 3 months, your system will become so alive and strong you may then just need a tea spoon of ghee.
I have seen Issakki Swamigal live with 10 teaspoons of little sugar & teaspoon of ghee. That’s all. Nothing else. He will not only walk Arunachala hill, he will roll! Just with 10 teaspoon of ghee & sugar. I want to warn you this kind of samyama can be done only in the presence of the master.
I will prove with 10 of my ashramites. I want to show all this to the world. I am so happy that you guys are doing the Chandra samyama. You will actually have the nectarian effect on your system. When you look in – your liver, heart, intestine you will feel like a child’s body – alive, fresh! That is how you will know if the samyama is working or not.
Whenever you visualize the sun or moon or polar star, anything in your inner space, it is called inner light. Whenever you visualize inner light inside, your body becomes suddha prakasa – the self effulgent light. You will see that you have just a child’s body.
This Inner Awakening I will see people will be taking in 25% of the quantity but they will be alive, active and energetic. No side effects. I have yoga prashtaas who live around me. I will pick up those yogis and train them. I will prove to the world – see here, people are living without food and water.

Essence of this Sutra

Understand the essence – 1. Changing the wrong signal to right signal. 2. Reducing the food intake. 3. Completely independent, free from food.
This 3rd samyama as I said, 8 times a day samyama. After every samyama eat ghee dosa and automatically the food intake will come down. You will not feel like eating. You will feel only this much is enough. When you are supposed to take 8 times, your body will take exactly what it needs. What it can burn in next 1 or 1/2 hour.
Your bio memory will start trusting that you will get food every one hour. So you do not need to store it. The 1st thing you need to do is your bio memory needs to trust. You need not store. But for this you need to do heavy yoga like 200 or 300 surya namaskar or heavy weight lifting!
With very minimal food I will build the body & show to you. I am working on all these samyamas through my body so that people can understand and practice it. In our tradition, all swamis, brahmacharis and even devotees should be yogis.
When I use the word samajis, satsangis don’t think you have the title because you contribute a little money. NO. I want you to do tapas. Build the body, build the mind. Understand yogic body, vedic mind and eNliving. I can say this is the essence. All these 3 should happen in you.
So the exact instruction for going beyond the necessity of food & water. Let me add this instruction also. After taking that one ghee dosa, you have to drink as much water as possible. So 8 samyamas, 8 meals nothing else should be taken in. Within 3 months, simply a spoon of ghee & sugar is enough for you. Body will be alive.
It is a very safe and smooth way of transition for your body from food to no food. A very safe transition.
I have seen Issakki Swamigal do this for at least 3 or 4 people. Many villages in India you can find these kind of yogis. Even in Paramahamsa Yogananda’s autobiography you will find there is a reference of a lady yogi who lived without food & water. If you travel all over India you will find at least 2000 people – yogis who don’t eat any food & take any water – just independent of food & water. This was actually a life science for us. Later on in course of time, it got lost.
Let us now enter into the samyama. Intensely focus on the Vishuddhi chakra, the throat center and visualize the sun. Even if you are levitating, focus on it. Keep getting your focus back to the Vishuddhi Chakra and visualize the sun in that space… Blessings!”

Sure Ways to Weight Loss!

Udaysree — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 08:26:11 +0000

SURE WAYS TO WEIGHT LOSS! (Continuation – Day 2)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Sutra 137, Chapter 3, Verse 31 kantha kupe kshutpipasa nivrittih

“Today I am continuing on sure ways to weight loss! I want to give you the jist of yesterday’s samyama if you are tuning in today.
Understand, doing samyama means intensely feeling connected in the throat chakra, vishuddhi chakra to go beyond the hunger & thirst.

1st the pseudo hunger & thirst sensations and signals stop. So you stop junking and you start eating.
2nd step when the samyama becomes deeper on the vishuddhi chakra even the necessity of food intake – quantity will reduce.

In 1st step 25% of food intake will reduce. With 2nd step another 25% will drop. Then 3rd step, as the samyama deepens you will no more have necessity to take any food or water.
I will teach the 1st two steps first. The whole humanity is suffering with these 2 – eating too much and eating unnecessarily. So I have some scientific researches here about this subject. The amount of energy needed for us everyday is determined by how much ATP our mitochondria can create.

Please understand thyroid activity is an important word – again & again Patanjali is insisting on throat chakra which is the vishuddhi chakra and scientific research also says that thyroid is directly connected to the throat. As the age increases the number of mitochondria cells die. One easy way to reverse this is by exercising. But by this, only 40% of your mitochondria energy will increase. But with levitation, 1300% increase has been recorded.

Intense Energy Field at Patanjali Shrine

In our Bidadi Ashram in the south west corner of the banyan tree where there is a Patanjali shrine – there I am creating an intense energy field in that area, something like a 100 sq feet, so that whoever comes and sits there they will have levitation!
We will install Patanjali’s murthi there in his pure form of aadi sesha – 1000 hood snake. I am planting siddha herbs and yantras with proper praana pratishta. So if you come there, you will experience the Kundalini raising and levitation.

Greed not Hunger

I will connect how the thyroid activity is balanced, the ATP increases and weight loss happens through Patanjali’s samyama. Understand, throat chakra is the main source of energy for thyroid. Thyroid is activated and controlled by the throat chakra.
When you do samyama on the throat chakra the whole thyroid activity will be balanced. The 1st thing that will happen is you will start receiving the hunger & thirst signals from the throat instead of stomach. If you receive it from stomach it means it is pure greed not hunger. It means you are greedy and want to store food in advance. Only when you receive it from the throat you are a human.
Animals can have fear or greed for food because the regular supply of their food is not ensured. So they can get signal from navel. Nothing wrong. Their food eating habit can be based on fear & greed. But I want to remind you that you are not an animal. So let your foot eating habits not be based on navel. Let it be based on throat. Only then you are human being.

Next, even in human being level you don’t need so much food. You need only 1/5th of the earth part. There are 5 parts – sky, space, air, fire, water & earth. Understand it is time human beings realize you don’t need to fill yourself all 5 parts with food. Contribute only to earth & water. Other 3 are directly taken from the nature.
The 3rd is completely being independent of food – anna vimukta. It means you don’t need food to run your life. Once in a while you can grace food. Nothing wrong.

Samyama on Throat Center

Understand intense samyama on this area, the throat center. Have maybe a rudraksha or rudraksha connected with sandal beads. Lie down, put this on your throat and visualize the intense fire. Please understand throat – vishuddhi is a male chakra. Ajna is female chakra – arrogance & ego is female energy.
So visualize intense fire – sun in the throat chakra. Wear a rudraksha with sandal wood mala or close neck mala with one rudraksha and sandal wood beads. You have to lie down, by sitting this samyama will not create a strong effect on your body. or completely relax in a chair where your head is resting. Your head and neck should not be possessed by you. You should relax and let go of your head.
For samyama your awareness is required but you should not control that part. These are basic laws of samyama. Any part you want to do samyama, you should just be aware and not have control on it.
So put the rudraksha and sandal wood mala and if you don’t have, apply sandal wood paste on you, lie down and intensely visualize sun – burning fire. You can also see Youtube clips of burning sun and you will know how to visualize. The intensity of the visualization will determine how the samyama works on you.
Also if you are doing Chandra samyama, you can do this in the day time. You need not sit under open sky in this. You can sit in your room and visualize. The cool sandal paste you apply should become dry & dark and it should just fall, just drop by your visualization. Then suddenly you will see the whole body runs intensely with the nature’s energy. Running by the nature energy means you will be running by proper fuel and there will not be air pollution or any other pollution by you.

Non-mechanical Parts of Brain

The truths you will listen from your master – your non-mechanical parts of your body will just click with you! When you are in the intense presence of the master, any truth he reveals, your non-mechanical parts of your brain are completely open and you are ready to receive even matter. The power of the presence landing on your system. Understand you are in a presence where even dead matter obeys. Then simply your brain will imbibe this truth.

This samyama on the throat

1st thing will remove unnecessary signals sent by your body for hunger & thirst – that itself will cut down 50% of your intake. And
2nd your need for food and thrist will go down by another 25%.

So if you do samyama on this throat chakra for 21 days you will lose this for at least 75% and you will have proper weight loss. This method is a sure way.
1st problem is that the wrong signal has to be changed. 2nd reducing even the necessary intake. 3rd automatically your body will stop taking food and liquids. Understand, without doing this samyama, if you reduce food intake you will be tired. The energy source will not be food anymore, it will be the inner space. Instead of receiving energy for your body from food, you will receive it from your kundalini energy.
The chakras like Vishuddhi & Ajna will quickly awaken. Do this samyama and get back. Tomorrow I will continue the deeper parts of this samyama. In this Inner Awakening I will add one more unique feature – weight loss, weight balancing guaranteed! I will challenge anyone with over weight, I guarantee proper BMI in you. we will do the perfect weight loss program in this Inner Awakening. Blessings!”

Easiest Way to Weight Loss: Vedic Way to Weight Loss

Udaysree — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 08:31:18 +0000

Paramahamsa Nithyananda

VEDIC WAY TO WEIGHT LOSS

Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Sutra 137, Chapter 3, Verse 31 “kantha kupe kshutpipasa nivrittih”

“Patanjali says do samyama on the throat center. All the feeling of hunger & thirst will disappear. I wanted to reveal the sacred secrets step by step, inch by inch, layer by layer from this sutra. 1st thing I wanted you to know – hunger & thirst is not from stomach, not from Manipuraka. It is from Vishuddhi (throat center).
Unfortunately, you have become so perverted. The moment you feel the heaviness is reducing in the stomach you think that is hunger. Understand, hunger & thirst are supposed to be the signal sent to your body saying that I am having less energy, please arrange for more energy.
But you are trained so badly that when the heaviness in the stomach reduces, means when the matter-mass sitting in your stomach reduces, immediately your body sends signals to send in more. 2 reasons –

Deep insecurity you have about food.
It has become a habit to hold, hold, hold.

Understand, if you don’t enjoy chewing in the mouth, you will enjoy the food when it is in your stomach during digestion which is dangerous. You become perverted and you start enjoying the food during the digestion. Then

The moment you feel the heaviness is less your body sends signals come on we need more, so send in more.
You always want your stomach to be full because you are enjoying it in the belly that is why you are not enjoying in your mouth.

If you are a taste based person, you will never have belly.

Do this from today – do not put the food into your body unless you feel hunger & thirst in the throat. Raghupati Yogi used to do this – he will ask people to fast for 11 days. He would change the habit of changing the wrong signals in your body. Understand, habit of sending wrong signals to your body & responding to it should be broken.

Whenever the hunger & thirst comes, just look in – it will not be from navel, It will be from the throat. If it is from navel your dust bin is little empty. Then your body is not asking for energy it is asking for junk. If you are feeling hungry and thirsty from throat, your body is asking for energy.
Yogis know from the beginning the energy center is the throat. The stomach is not the energy center. When your 1st layer energy is empty, your throat should send signal to you – I want food, I want water. If your stomach is sending signal to you, you are not empty with energy. You are empty because there is less load!

You don’t need any medicine for your body if you put the food after whatever has been put is digested and leaves the system. Whatever has been put is digested and leaves the system through 3 ways:

Motion
Urine
Sweat

All 3 should happen between every meal.
Before every meal and anything going inside, these 3 should happen to you. it means 2 meal a day and at least twice you should do 1, 2 & sweating – means working out. Sweating is completely out of our life! We don’t even sit on the ground! Sitting on the ground is considered a great tapas!

Whoever is doing this Chandra samyama and this liquid diet (Nithyananda Moon Diet) bring your awareness again & again when your body sends the hunger thirst signal to you – is it from stomach or is it from throat. If it is from stomach don’t listen to it. just
tell the body – get lost.
Your body is like your child if you use harsh words it will listen to you. If you look in, then it will become alert. If you don’t look in, then the fat will slowly start coming. First understand, do not trust the signal if it is from stomach. It has to be from throat.
You can spend few days breaking this signal of the habit of getting signal from stomach. Few days of liquid diet will help you to stop the habit of getting signal from stomach. If you are hungry or thirsty, signal should be from right place!
If signal itself is coming from wrong place. What will happen to all your response.
You are nothing but junk food dust bin & coke barrel if you are listening to the signals from the belly.

I am going to guide you guys in this samyama step by step.
1st thing – change the habit of receiving signals from wrong places. Then I will explain how doing samyama on throat completely relieves you from the hunger and thirst.
So first the wrong hunger & thirst should disappear. 2nd the right hunger & thirst should be understood. Then technique of awakening the throat, which will not only give you the technique but right signal also will happen.
Throat chakra itself will start releasing energy and then another 25% of your food intake will reduce. So within one week your intake itself will come down to only 25% and you will be fully alive, intelligent and with less weight. So it is an important thing to understand Patanjali is not only talking about weight loss, he is talking about the dimension of
going beyond the necessity of food or water.

First I will bring you out of this obesity. Then bring you to the regular food habit. Then teaching you the science of the food energy and reduce it to less food and water. Then teach you the science of food energy where no food is required!
I am declaring today human beings can live without food & water from outside. I have seen people living, learnt the science from them and I myself lived like that. So I can share that science with you!
I may not emphasize too much that you should go to the extreme without food & water because you need to waste a lot of time preparing for that. That is nothing wrong in little food & water. But when you spend 100s of 1000s of dollars on food you should equally spend on medicine too! I am not against food industry.

This sutra is a very important sutra. It is for weight loss – yogic way of weight loss.”

Nithyananda on Overeating

Udaysree — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:45:39 +0000

Paramahamsa Nithyananda

“OVEREATING is a modern disease. People think that it is better to eat more vegetarian food. Let us be clear here. Overeating any food is bad. Be it vegetarian or meat. It creates a lot of problems for us. We have never learnt to eat only what we need. We should be firm on eating only what we require and how much we need. Overeating is an expression of greed. We overeat as a substitute to fulfil other unattainable wants.” ~ Paramahamsa Nithyananda

During his current discourses on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Paramahamsa Nithyananda speaks on weightloss: Patanjali Yoga Sutras – Sutra 137, Chapter 3, Verse 31 ‘kantha kupe kshutpipasa nivrittih’.

We will continue with postings from his timeless Vedic wisdom on Weightloss the Yogic Way.
