Life depends on the Sun; says Ayurveda...

Health or a healthy life depends on Bhaskar, i.e., the Sun. Long life depends on the worship of Ashwini Kumars. Many mantras and hymns of the Sun God are mentioned in Vedas and Puranas for a healthy life. Reciting those mantras and hymns keeps life healthy. The Sun is the soul (life) of all the immovable and mobile things in this world. 

In the immovable world, trees, leaves, creepers, and plants of various types of grains are inspired by the Sun and bear flowers, fruits, etc. in time. If they do not get sunlight, they do not flourish and their ability to bear flowers and fruits is lost. They become unripe and dwarf and perish prematurely. Grain or any plant sown under a banyan tree or any big shady tree does not flourish; because they do not directly connect with sunlight. The movable world- animals, birds, reptiles, deer, humans, and other living beings need sunlight for their growth. Time has no limit. Time means day, night, tithi, fortnight, month. 


The sun is the reason for the change in our position and movement. Similar changes are also seen by the sun. There is a year. In north India, and in south India, the season's variations are caused by the sun's influence. This period is of the Ahujanya period. In this, two Ayanas pass - Uttarayan and Dakshinayan. Uttarayan is called Saumyayana and Dakshinayan is called Paamyaayan. Their effect on the human body is difficult to understand. Childhood, adolescence, puberty, youth, adulthood, old age, and death are also under this period. A child is mute at birth. He becomes talkative with the glory of time. A child is crippled from birth, but with the glory of time, he can become a mountaineer. All this is the glory of time or the sun.

The Sun is considered the eye of God. These are considered to be the storehouse of complete vast knowledge, they are considered to be the form of Vedas. They are considered to be the abode of Brahma, they provide immortal essence to the living beings and also become the cause of death of the living beings by turning into time. In this way, they are considered to be the soul form of living beings.

Based on supernatural imagination, he is considered to be a God incarnate. He is worshipped by observing the Suryashashthi fast, Sunday, Bhanusaptami, and many other fasts. His fasts are famous for achieving Nairujya. In the Vedas, especially in Atharvaveda, many hymns and mantras for Surya worship are mentioned. Nairujya is achieved by them.

A person was suffering from redness of the eyes for seven years. He used many eye ointments and oils, but still, he did not get relief from the disease.

Ardhavbhedak (half-head pain) is a stubborn disease, if such a person wakes up in the morning and makes semolina pudding with pure ghee before sunrise, ties it in a bundle of new cloth, and warms the head with it and eats it after it cools down, then it proves beneficial. But the entire process should be completed by sunrise.

Importance of Khichdi (Pongal) in Indian diet and lifestyle.

Our health is affected by many factors. Along with food and exercise, our habits, interests, moral values, economic status, and cultural environment form our entire lifestyle. To achieve a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet plan is required, which can fulfill all the necessary nutrients for the body.

in this blog we will tell you about food that destroys Tridosahas as said in Ayurveda-

As we age, diseases like metabolic syndrome, heart attack, hypertension, arthritis, and anxiety-related ailments make our lives dull and constricted. In such a situation, the need to remain physically active and get proper nutrition increases. Many health problems can be prevented by just proper diet and mental health improves with the reduction of stress, depression, and pain. A balanced diet and regular exercise are integral parts of a healthy lifestyle. 

[Makar Sankranti - Kichadi]

A wide variety of dietary options should be chosen from the recommended amounts in each of the five food groups. These food sources from each food group provide an equal amount of major micro and macronutrients to meet the body's requirements. A balanced diet usually consists of 50 percent carbohydrates, 20 percent protein, and about 30 percent fat. The body needs quality carbohydrates, lean protein, essential fats, and fluids along with regular exercise to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

Khichdi or Pongal is of special importance in India's traditional culture and lifestyle as a food. It is prepared by cooking lentils and rice along with all the vegetables. It is a light and easily digestible food. This combination of lentils and rice is also very easy to digest. All the nutrients are found in the right balance in khichdi. It is a rich source of carbohydrates, and proteins and provides fiber, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Along with protecting the body's digestive system, it easily removes all toxins. Khichdi is helpful in the treatment of many stomach-related diseases.

In Indian history, there is mention of Khichdi from the journey of Jean Baptiste Tavernier in the seventeenth century to the kitchens of the Mughal period. In Ayurveda, it is called Tridosha-destroyer food, it is believed that Khichdi is a food that creates physical, mental, and spiritual bonding. The importance of Khichdi in the Indian lifestyle has been considered especially during the festival of Makar Sankranti. From a cultural point of view, mixing different food items and preparing them in the same vessel is a symbol of uniformity in life. 

New rice is used to prepare Khichdi in the festival of Makar Sankranti, it also represents the process of regeneration of life. Khichdi is prepared in many ways in India, it is popular by different names in different regions of India. 

From a health point of view, Khichdi is a very low-fat food. It is a complete diet, which nourishes the gross and subtle elements. It creates a simple and spiritual bonding in a satisfied and desire-free life. It is often seen that Khichdi is considered the food of poor and sick people. People have a sense of neglect towards it, which is not right considering its qualities and types. 

We have to get away from this mentality and give it more importance than the so-called superfoods that are called health enhancers in the flashy advertisements of today. This food that gives a sense of simplicity and harmony has also been given more importance by sages and saints in the Indian lifestyle.
