Incompatible Food Chart AYURVEDA


. All types of food whether solids, semi-solids or liquids in the form of water, milk, juices etc. are referred as Aahar in Ayurveda. Aahar is emphasized in Ayurveda because it is Aahar or food that we eat which plays an important role in maintaining the overall health and well being. The ultimate objective in the science of life is arogya or health. The whole process of digestion in ayurvedic terminology is Aahar Pachan.

All food articles possess their own Rasa (taste), Guna (characteristics), Virya (potency), and Vipaka (post digestion effect) and also Prabhava (impact). We should be very careful with the food we intake. Our diet should be a balanced diet with adequate quantity of calories and nutrients. The calorie and nutrient content varies according to age. For proper digestion or aahar pachan, it is necessary that the right food is consumed at the right time and there should be no intake of incompatible food. When two or more food items having different taste, energy and post digestion effect are taken together, the digestive system can become overloaded, resulting in the production of toxins. Incompatible foods can produce indigestion, putrefaction, fermentation, and gas formation and, if prolonged, can lead to toxemia, and diseases.

[Dr. Anandi Ramakrishnan]

Six enemies of success...

What follows is some excellent advice on "enemies" you must
overcome if you wish you live up to your fullest potential.
Friend, make no mistake, you've got greatness in you. The
ideas below can help you unleash it, provided you're willing
to consistently apply what you learn.

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with
fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own
experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've
read in the papers.

Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of
town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to
avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our
ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy
relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our
lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from
within. The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it
destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is.
"Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along." Here's one
problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top
of the mountain.


The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the
thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your
chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for
healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you
also can't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past,
doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government,
doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse
of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will
destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty
both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy Go
after it. Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry. We've all got to worry
some. Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm
you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New
York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry. But you
can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your
worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to
get you, you've got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you,
you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution. It is the timid
approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an illness.
If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get
promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in
the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build
your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's
keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in
your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the
person you want to become.

 

[talwan]

Rig Veda, the oldest and perhaps most mystical text ever composed in India, says: "With deep respect, I bow to the sun, who travels 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesha." A yojana is about nine American miles; a nimesha is 16/75 of a second. 2,202 yojanas x 9 miles x 75/8 nimeshas = 185,794 m. So it says that sunlight travels at 186,000 miles per second! In 1387 A. D. They know the correct figure for the speed of light.

Sputnik 1 Facts

The Sputnik Program, more commonly known as "companion", is known to be a group of numerous robotic spacecraft operations launched by the Soviet Union. Sputnik 1, the first of these, is the first known human made object to enter the space. Sputnik 1 was launched into the space on October 4, 1957. The launch laid bare the expediency of the usage of artificial sites for the exploration of upper atmosphere.

The word "sputnik" is said to have Russian origin with the literal meaning "co-traveler", "satellite", or "travelling companion". Sputnik 1, when launched, featured a diameter measuring 58cm (23") and a weight of 83.6 kg (183 lb.). It took about 96 minutes to complete each of the 1440 elliptical orbits.

The launch of Sputnik 1 had surprised the US as this launch was coupled with the magnificent failure of the USA"s first two attempts for the launch of Project Vanguard. The launch of Sputnik 1 had had a very positive impact in the space research world. Firstly, it led to the up come of Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, and NASA. Besides, it had also inspired various youngsters to form a generation of engineers and scientists. Moreover, the launch of Sputnik 1 also inspired Herb Caen, a U.S. writer to lay claim to the term "beatnik" in the San Francisco Chronicle about the Beat Generation.

To conclude with, it would not be wrong to say that Sputnik 1 has proved to be not only a landmark in human space flight but has also been the inaugurating achievement in the "Space Race". Besides, it has also given birth to a cohort of scientists and engineers.

Many years ago in a small Indian village, A farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. 3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag. Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1 The girl should refuse to take a pebble. 2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat. 3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment. Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking. The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses The above logical answers. What would you recommend to the Girl to do? Try to answer before scrolling down. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Well, here is what she did .... The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. "Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one. MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think. ​

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

What is Dharma, How to give and how much to give?

Dharmam should be given with full heart. How much, what is the yardstick, etc is secondary.
But it should be given with full heart without any second thought.

There is a story to this effect. There was a king. A poet using his skill and knowledge sang
few songs in the praise of the King. The King became happy. The King praised the poet like anything
and then called his Minister. He told the Minister to give a gift of Rs.50,000/-. As the poet heard
the King's order, he couldn't control his happiness. Poet went along with the Minister to the
Treasury Room. The Minister kept silent but not give him anything. The poet remained silent
for quite sometime and looked at the Minister, then said, Minister Aiya, Can you give me the money?
The Minister replied when should I give. The poet replied that the King told you to give me the
gift money. Is it? Then you go and tell the King that the Minister has not given the gift money.
Taken aback, the poet went to the King and told : O King, the Minister has not given me the
money that you asked him to give. Is it the King said. Ok. Why I should I give you money?
the King replied.
The Poet on hearing that said to the King, did you not tell the Minister to give me the gift
money. Yes I did tell. But I will ask you one thing. When I told you that on hearing your
poems, how did you feel and what was the status of your mind at that time.

The poet replied that I was very happy. Now you see. You made me happy by singing
songs in praise of me. I was happy on hearing them. Like that I also told the Minister
to give you the gift money to make you happy at that time. Hence, I made you happy
instantly without any delay. Therefore, I don't think there is any need to give you any gift
money. The poet fell down unconsciously.

Like this one should not give or offer Dharmam with half mind. If he has really an idea
according to his mind to give a gift money, he should give it without fail. If it is not done,
it is not called Dharmam.
