“Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda”

 

An old man, a sort of public figure, was once asked about the secret of his great health! He was more than eighty and was still going strong with life full of zest. You know, what he replied! Yoga, Meditation, a little drink and a little sex as well. These keep me going for on and on. For many of us yoga and meditation, yes, are O.K. But to talk about the remaining two things is taboo. But it was never so in the good older days. In many of our centuries old temples, we find a proof of this. Painting, carving of beautiful women and men, depicting a life full of lust, emotions and desire. The Kings and the Queens had their harems and in their Darbars along with music, dance, wine used to flow in abundance.

 

In some of the modern day medicines as well as in ayurvedic medicines such substances are freely used. They are not harmful. Perhaps useful. But, it is not an intention here to propagate the usefulness of such item. The emphasis is on Yoga and Meditation . If you wish to lead a life free of both body and mind stress then yoga and meditation must form a part of your daily life routine. It will be pertinent to know what the Japanese people think about it. Japanese are very hard working people and in their quest for more production and progress, they even neglect their private life and the stress they go through disturb them physically as well as mentally. They have found meditation keep them away from stressful life. Even Americans and people from Europe are slowly adopting these two with enthusiasm.

 

Look, how yoga helps you :

 

i]          It keeps you healthy.

ii]         Your face, hair, skin all glow.

iii]        You feel always fit and raring to go.

iv]        Disease – Disorders – you remain away from them.

 

Many Gurus from India have propagated yoga in different countries and some of them have certainly succeeded with many followers to toe their line. Many celebrities in the different fields of activities, in the world have now taken to yoga with all the seriousness because they know it is very effective. It does control many diseases that have no remedies in the allopathic system of medicine. Yoga, meditation alongwith ayurved are our precious possessions. It is a gift our forefathers have bestowed upon us, and all the people in this land with their different attire varied food habits even totally different cultural and social leanings, geographical background are all for Ayurved, yoga and meditation.

What is Meditation? There is nothing mystic about it. It is very simple. You have to inbibe the art of controlling yourself. You can do it while working, while playing, while going through your daily chores. Japanese, while at work snatch a few moments and go through the process of meditation. Because of stresses and the disturbed family life, many Japanese were found with suicidal tendencies. Meditation has taught them to conquer these frailties in life.

 

Students, who cannot handle anxiety, fear of failure, do develop suicidal tendencies. Some of them do commit the act of suicide. It is now found if they learn the art of meditation, they can overcome the fear of failure, accepting it as a part of struggle in life and move on.

 

In short, make yoga, meditation and ayurved, inseparable part of your life and add little, little of so many things and you will have a long and healthy life.
