Pranam The past time questions and fun frolic may not be of much interest to me though for the author(S). Q3 On Karma and God as usual spoken like an aviveki or uneducated supporting the author. GOD is not playing any dice with the population of any part of the universes known or unknown; You do not thank when you are glowing and you rush for the solution when you are hit and comparison is as if in pain going to doctor; the truth of Karma was discussed elaborately by many scriptures of India and by Maha Periava also which I had written; in the hospital why the children born around the similar time at one place had to share the life in different status when they had not and they could not have committed anything wrong as they were born just then?. Unless they carried down the gift from the cycle of births and deaths ( some stupid was criticising the new shirt and it was not of Rajaram's nit that of adisankara who used the word new robe and ANNA the Ramakrishna Mutt used the word Robe as shirt; and those ignotants who spent their times chidding others and completed a lmosy a deadwood lifecycle harp out of ignorance becayse there are spectators for that match also) there cannot be so much of inequality. That is Karma. When Karma occurs, GOD does not grant anything positive or negative; things happen as per PRA-KRITHI, as destined. GOD is not expecting any praise or prayers or pricks but pure unexpected love for HIM. And one who does it does not care for Karma; Gnanasambandar song Thiru Kolaru pathigam where he said NAAL ENNA SEYYUM KOL EN SEYYUM... so courageously; Bharathi sang "KALANAI KALAAL UDAIKKIREN VAADA. sO IGNORANTS APPRECIATE THE IGNORANCES. Q4 on omega; why spend money who do not have to?; walnut was not there when my grandfather was carrying agricultural product bag of 100 pattinam padi rice on his back with the strong heart and did not survive so long with the strong heart?; unnecessary ; what is a balanced siet for heart?; The general principles of a heart-healthy eating plan include: *Lots of fibre:* Research shows that a diet that contains a lot of fibre helps in reducing cholesterol levels. Foods that are rich in fibre are whole grains (brown rice, bajra, ragi, jowar, pasta, whole wheat bread, etc.), vegetables, especially green leafy ones, fresh fruits and pulses. *Lots of Omega 3 fatty acids:* Eating foods rich in Omega 3 is good for the heart and especially for those who suffer from Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). Omega 3 acids also help to build cells and control the clotting function of the blood. spinach and fish (only if non veg) are all Omega 3 rich. *Consumption of fermented foods:* Fermented foods such as curd, buttermilk etc. contain probiotic or healthy bacteria that are essential to good digestion and for overall good health. A small amount with each meal is highly recommended. Homemade products are preferable as store-bought items often contain sugars and other additives that reduce the benefits. If buying from a shop, check the product labels to be sure of what you are buying. Fermented foods must be stored in cold conditions to keep the healthy bacteria alive. Heating will remove the probiotic benefits of the food. *Increase antioxidant intake:* Free radicals are substances that are known to affect the body’s natural immune system. Antioxidants, which are found in brightly coloured fruits, vegetables and grains help to control the amount of free radicals in the body. *Low saturated and trans-fat intake:* Fats such as ghee, butter, certain cooking oils, etc. cause the build-up of cholesterol in the body. Avoiding, as far as possible, fried foods and items that contain excessive amounts of these fats will help to keep cholesterol under control. *Low sodium intake:* Sodium is known to cause an increase in blood pressure and so increase pressure on the heart and other internal organs. Keep your salt intake strictly under control to maintain the right sodium levels. And our veg meals eaten by our forefathers are as good as all recommended in the web sites by the marketing web sites. Q5 who said the village is not infected with the corona? Q7 14 lokas are explained in Bhagavatham in details and please do not be searching all of them on EARTH. K R IRS 16521
