Q1         What is the best way to stay healthy?

A1          Reema Rajput March 13,2018 Health · Nutritionist

There are few things I follow regularly to maintain my health.

First thing when I get up inthe morning, I have 2 glasses of Luke Warm water 
and then start our regular routine work.

Then I go for a workout and do 30 mins of yoga ( Total duration-1 hr).

After this session, Ihave a healthy breakfast which includes the following 
items onrotational basis Juice, boiled egg, cereals, k - Kellogg, Muesli, milk, 
breadwith slight butter on it just for the taste.

Then leave for office on my scooty but during the road journey I do take care 
of covering myface with a scarf and wearing a white coat to avoid the pollution 
that webreath or touches our skin and becomes a layer on our clean face 
orexposed body.

Also if you have a corporate job then keep a track you atleast get up from your 
place in every2 hrs and after having lunch take a walk of atleast 15 mins which 
willhelp you stay active and your body in proper cycle.

Similarly even in evening afterhaving a tea walk for a while in open air if you 
can.

While returning home do cover your face and exposed body from pollution.

Have your dinner at least 3 hoursbefore you sleep and if possible take a walk 
of 10 mins after your dinner.

Complete your maximum 8 hours of sleep or minimum 7 hours with thiscycle.

This is how I maintain myself and stay healthy by giving my body proper restand 
workout with healthy food and proper routine.

I believe, ‘We earn to eat andNot eat to earn’ so if we cannotspent our money 
on our food then you will have to spend it in your medicine.

Q3         What is spiritual love?

A3                 Ritesh KumarMishraNovember 29-2020 Love · Experienced person 
about love life

Let me share with you thisbeautiful story, you will understand by own.

One day a sadhu went to the river to bathe.There he noticed scorpionstruggling 
in the water.

Scorpions cannot swim and the sadhu knew that if he did not save thescorpion, 
it would drown, therefore carefully picking up the scorpion, thesadhu rescued 
it from drowning and was just about to set it down gently on landwhen the 
scorpion stung his finger.

In pain the sadhu instinctively flung his hand and the scorpion wentflying back 
into the river.

As soon as the sadhu regained his composure from the sting he againlifted the 
scorpion out of the water.

Again before he could set the scorpion safely on land, the creature stunghim. 
This drama went on several minutes.

A hunter watched as the saint carefully and gingerly lifted the creatureout of 
the water, only to fling it back in as he convulsed in pain from eachfresh 
sting.

Finally, the hunter said to thesadhu, “Forgive me for my frankness, but it is 
clear that the scorpion going tocontinue to sting you each and every time you 
carry it to safety.

Why don’t you give up and justlet it drown?”

The sadhu replied, “My dear child the scorpion is not stinging me out ofmalice 
or evil intent. Justas it is water’s nature to make me wet, so its scorpion’s 
nature to sting.He doesn’t realize that I am carrying him to safety. That is a 
level ofconscious comprehensions greater than what his brain can achieve.

But just as it is the scorpion’s nature to sting. So it is my nature tosave. 
Just as he is not leaving his nature, why should I leave my nature?

My dharma is to help any creature of any kind-human or animal.

Why should I let a small scorpion rob me of the divine nature which Icultivated 
through years of sadhana?

Moral of the story:

Many times it happens we are insulted from our friends, colleagues,co-workers, 
bosses etc. sometime these act are subtle – a friend, relative orcolleague who 
unexpectedly betrays us or who we find has been surreptitiouslyspeaking 
negative about us behind our back. We feel so much agitated and fullof anger.

We just want to take revenge.In result we slowly we find that our own actions, 
words and thoughts become driven by anger and pain, we find ourselvesengaged in 
cunning thoughts of revenge.

Before we realize it, we are injuring ourselves by negative emotionsdominate us.

Our dharma is to be kind, purehonest, loving , giving, sharing and caring to 
whoever come across our life. “Our thoughts and our words should bealways 
pleasing to others.”

Others due to ignorance lack ofunderstanding or due to the way in which their 
karmic drama is unfolding, may act with malice, deceit. selfishnessand 
indifference, but we must not let their actions or their ignorance depriveus of 
fulfilling our dharma.

In this material world we alwaysstruggle hard to find the fault of others, and 
we try to take revenge in oneway or other. We never admit our mistakes 
andalways point out others blaming the opponent for any issues faced by us.We 
encounter people who harm us, insult us, plot against us, whose actionseem 
calculated to thwart the successful achievement of our goals.

Q4         How do scientists prove that their facts are correct?

How do scientists prove thattheir facts are correct?

They don't. Proof is a concept inmaths and logic. Science works with evidences 
and statistical confidence.

Also, what are evidenced to be statistically “correct” are not the facts,but 
models.

Facts are the evidence.

Thus, scientists experimentally evidence (facts) that the models arecorrect 
within a calculated statistical confidence.

How do they do that?

 

They propose experiments that would falsify the model (they effectivelytry to 
break the model), and then they fail to do so, the model stands validand the 
statistical confidence we deposit in it grows stronger.

Scientists provide references wherefrom certain facts they have taken.Moreover, 
peers also verify the facts. Even after publication of a paper, mistakes can 
bepointed out.

Q5         What are the 5 strange places on the planet where gravitydoesn’t 
work?

A5          Nigel Colebrook, formerLecturer Answered 46m ago

Despite what you might read on social media there is nowhereon Earth where 
gravity does not 'work'. Gravity is the effect we see of matteralways trying to 
move towards the largest mass in its vicinity. Mass creates atime-dilation 
between itself and the space it occupies, in that mass slowstime, the larger 
the mass, such as the planet Earth, the greater thetime-differential and the 
more gravitational attraction it has. All matter will try to movetowards the 
slowest time, created by the largest mass, which is why black-holeshave such a 
strong gravitational attraction as time stops beyond theevent-horizon

Q6         What is a random thought you’ve had today?

I was travelling to Hyderabad, and there was this Muslim man in my compartment 
who entangledmyself in a smooth conversation.

Initially, I wasn't able to figure out that he was a muslim cause thecaricature 
of his way of speaking beautifully sprinkled Telugu language.

It was only during the conversation he revealed the religion.

Well, I have another Muslim friend in Rajasthan, whenever she speaks, theword 
“kaise" is this extra A on K as K-se, the typical Marwari touch.

These two instances made meconclude a thing, No matter what religion we are, or 
what ethics we follow, ourlanguage is the first thing who'll anonymously tell 
others WHO WE ARE.

It's the language and speaking skills which gives us this unique introthat 
we're from south or North, we're a Indian or NRI, we accept religion onour 
choice and dissolve the language on our own.

Love your Language, cause it's your basic introduction to the worldoutside.

My note- It was about 6monthsback, I was waiting for Mysore Chennai Kaveri 
express at Bangalore. A middle aged Muslim with wife and kid came,requested me 
some space. I was keeping my bag  on the bench in which I was sitting . I took 
it.He asked his wife tosit and asked me to comfortably sit, standing holding 
the child.Just he started talking. Very fluently in English since I said, I 
could notunderstand kannada. He started  talkingon many things. I found him a 
learnt man. I asked what is he? He replied he isa mechanic and studied up to 
SSLC and interested in reading books and read ofall religions and subjects. I 
found in him a very strange man.

Q8         Why should a Brahmin wearJaneu? Is there any scientific reason or 
basis behind it?

A8          Prof.Shiv Bhushan SharmaTue Science · Explained the Mind and 
Consciousness of AGenuine Scientist.

The Sacred Thread Ceremony(Upanyanam) is a must ceremony for seven years old 
Brahmin child.Unfortunately, it is not followed these days. Why? I have no 
idea. I requestedmy parents for the function when I was seven years. Why? It 
was the call of myindwelling Soul (Antaratma). Now, let us contemplate and find 
the scientific reasons and evidence.

1.Why Seven Years?

2.Kishore Awastha: 

The first phase (Awastha) of human life lasts for the first seven years.The 
human brain takes seven years for full development. During thefirst seven 
years, a child should not be encouraged to follow concrete learningprocesses.

3. Student (Brahmchar Awastha): Purification Exercises: The child istaught the 
importance of self-discipline, self-purification exercises, andhumility 
(begging for alms).

4. Yajna: The importance of austerity and concentration of senses, mind,and 
consciousness are insulated to the child.

5. Three Threads of Janeu: Janeu(Poonal) has three threads to start with.

6. What do these three threads stand for.

7. Mother, Father, and Guru.

8. Three major channels, Ida-Nadi,Pingala-Nadi, and Sushumna-Nadi.

9. Importance of Spiritual Influence of Mother Earth, Moon, and Sun.

10. Importance of Earth (Bhu),Atmosphere (Bhuva), and Heaven (Suvah).

11. These three are integral partsof Gayatri Mantra.

12.Gayatri Mantra: The Greatest Spiritual Mantra of all times.

13. Family Phase (Grahasth Awastha): Marriage: During the marriageceremony, 
three more threads are added to the Janeu.

14.These three additional threads stand for Mother, Father, and Guru of the 
wife.

15.Married couple is taught Maha Gayatri Mantra for spiritual evolution.

16.Forest Phase (Vanaprastha Awstha: The couple is taught Akhand Gayatri Mantra.

17. Nine Threads of Janeu: Threenew threads include Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, 
and Guru Devo Maheshwara.

18. Wearing of Janeu: From leftshoulder to the right abdomen. This facilitates 
Udana-Prana.

19.While going to call of nature (Toilet), the threads are tied around the 
rightear.

20. Why?

21. The right ear is closelyassociated with Pingala-Nadi and the sympathetic 
nervous system. As a result,it facilitates defecation reflex and easy 
evacuation. It also activatesApana-Prana.

22.For Death Ceremony: The threads are shifted to the right shoulder for 
obviousreasons (dissociation).

The list of scientific reasons cango on and on.

The Conclusion:

All the spiritual recommendationsof Sanatana Dharma are full of science. Please 
experiment and recognize thehidden spiritual wisdom.

Please do not criticize BrahminParampara.Everyone is born Brahmin.

Upanayanam should be recommendedfor every seven years old child.

To become True Brahmin, we have tobe in tune with Divine Nature and Reveal the 
hidden Secrets of Divine Naturewith austerity and accomplishments.

Hence, Karma-Yoga (Yoga ofAction), Bhakti-Yoga (Yoga of Devotion), Gyan Yoga 
(Yoga of Knowledge, SiddhaYoga (Yoga of Self-Realization) are essential four 
pillars of Akhand Yoga, anintegrated form of Yoga.

eBook is free.
