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. By reciting many Puranic hymns, many diseases are cured and a person becomes healthy. The deity of the eyes is Lord Suryadev.

In today's competitive era, boys and girls are getting married late If one stays awake till night and sleeps till late in the morning, then his eyesight is also affected. Getting up before sleep and after finishing your toilet etc., seeing the rising Sun, saluting it, offering Arghya, or simply saluting with folded hands and doing 3 Parikrama (circumambulations) improves eyesight and cures many types of chronic eye diseases. 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. By the above-mentioned method, he consumed sunlight and saluted the Sun, and this cured him.

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.

Suryanarayana (the Sun) is such a deity who becomes happy by bowing down or folding hands and removing diseases. The method of Surya Namaskar also propounds the same principle. It cures many diseases.

Leucoderma (White Leprosy) - In its treatment, along with taking medicines, it is considered necessary to expose the affected body part to sunlight. The process of skin coloring is accelerated by sunlight. This is the opinion of ancient scriptures. Even today's doctors believe in the usefulness of this principle. On this basis, a solarium has been established in Jamnagar, which is helping in curing skin diseases through sunlight and hundreds of people are getting benefits from it. In skin diseases (leprosy), taking medicines, and Reciting 'Hriday Stotram' in the morning sunlight is also very beneficial. It should also be kept in mind that there should not be excessive exposure to sunlight, otherwise it can be harmful.

Surya Pushpa or china rose (Hibiscus rosa chinensis) flower is a miraculous medicine for diseases  It is cold in nature. For the treatment of high blood pressure, taking 3 to 5 flowers, offering them to Suryadev, and drinking a sherbet with lemon juice and sugar shows great benefits.

Copper is called sun metal. Water should be stored and drunk in utensils made of copper. Many types of liver disorders and blood disorders are cured by this. If a copper vessel is not available, then a clay vessel is useful.

Its use is beneficial in cases of confusion and dizziness. In this, Yoga Sutshekharu made with the addition of copper ash shows the best benefits.

Drinking water by putting Spikenard in a copper vessel is beneficial for blood pressure. This experiment should be done for a long period. Spikenard and water should be kept mixed at intervals.

Vitamin D and health - A real story....

Most people don't know the real story of "vitamin D and health." Vitamin D is produced by our skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight. The healing rays of natural sunlight that generate vitamin D in our skin cannot penetrate glass, So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.  It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. 

Here I would like to bring some important facts about Vitamin - D.

• Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in our own bodies. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet. 

• The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK, and most U.S. States are far from the equator. 

• People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is an epidemic among many people- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency. 

• Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in our intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless. 

• Chronic vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight; it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.

• Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body. 

• It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in our body from sunlight exposure. Our body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs. 

• If it hurts to press firmly on our sternum(chest/breast bone), we may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now. 

• Vitamin D is "activated" in our body by our kidneys and liver before it can be used. 

• Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair our body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D. 

• The sunscreen industry doesn't want us to know that our body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.

• Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in our body, yet our body makes it absolutely free. No prescription is required.

Other powerful antioxidants with this ability include super fruits like Pomegranates (Wonderful juice), Acai, Blueberries, etc.

Diseases and conditions cause by vitamin D deficiency: 

1. Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which greatly impairs calcium absorption.  Sufficient vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer, and schizophrenia. 
2. Rickets is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. 
3. Vitamin D deficiency may exacerbate type- 2 diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.
4. Obesity impairs vitamin D utilization in the body, meaning obese people need twice as much vitamin D. 
5. Vitamin D is used around the world to treat Psoriasis (a chronic skin disease). 
6. Vitamin D deficiency can cause schizophrenia. Seasonal Affective Disorder is caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to sunlight. 
7. Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as "fibromyalgia" because its symptoms are so similar to Muscle weakness, aches, and pains.
8. The risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50% - 80% through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight 2-3 times each week. 
9. Infants who receive vitamin D supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80% reduced risk of developing type - 1 diabetes over the next twenty years.  

Shocking Vitamin D deficiency statistics: 

In the opinion of experts, 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient. 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. 42% of African & American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D. 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin D deficient. Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin D deficient.76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type - 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient. Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient Up to 90% of Indians are vitamin D deficient!! 

Solution: Take direct sunlight early morning for 20-30 minutes.
