If you are able to offer the fruits of sex to God, then perhaps it will lighten the situation. Find the divine love in your marriage, and everything will work out smoothly, nothing to worry about. There are so many paths, and they all eventually lead to the same thing. Some are just faster and more intense (tapasya). You had already chose to get married, and not to be a renunciate. Both renunciates and married men can make sturdy yogis. If you choose to have sex, then do it in moderation as to not heavily deplete the supply of semen. Be careful as to your thoughts, if you keep them on sexual desire it will keep you in the lower chakra.

When one enters the state of trance during an astral projection or out of body experience, and leaves his or her body becoming fully conscious and aware, do they enter - in the least bit - any of the stages of samadhi?

Was Tiruvalluvar a Siddha? These are some excellent points... they point towards our natural path.

Hi there, the milk should be removed. The Ghee, and tea will be ok. The oil will have to be made. Simmer on the lowest heat about a tablespoon of each herb in about 1/2 cup of mustard oil covered with a lid for just over an hour. Let it cool then strain the mixture with coffee filters until it is pure and there is no grit. If the oil is very potent it may be mixed with more mustard oil later, and depending upon your constitution you may mix with coconut or sesame oil, as long as it is mostly mustard oil. This works very well.

Hi dheeraj, blessings. What are you eating in your diet right now? Are you eating refined foods, or junk foods? A diet that is raw will help with this. Mostly fruits and vegetables, stay away from breads, dairy, and sugar for now. You can start to introduce lassi with ginger and cardamom into your diet later. Do three days on raw fruits and vegetables, then introduce the lassi, and slowly introduce natural cooked foods. There is also a medicine for plugged sinus. It is the oil of mustard, vacha, pippali, vidanga, ginger, black pepper... Put in three drops in each nostril. This is for (Puti Nasya), and is very effective. For the constipation, take a teaspoon of triphala mixed with 4Xs the amount warm water first thing in the morning, and right before bed. Relieving the constipation will relieve the sinus congestions... Also are you doing Ujjayi pranayama? I find this one is very effective for clearing the sinuses.

I have warts all over the bottom of my left foot that will not go away with Compound W, freezing from the doctor, or other chemicals the doctor has given me. I also have had a sore throat for a week in the middle of summer that wont seem to go away. I am male, 6' tall, and 145 lbs. I am mostly Vata with some Pitta. I could also use to put on some extra weight. How can I increase my immune system? I already take multi-vitamin, triphala, fruits and vegetables, and sometimes ashwagandha, shatvari, and brahmi together, and Chyawanprash gives me a sore throat. Sugar makes me sick too. I have been to so many doctors, and they can't figure it out. My nose gets plugged when I drink milk also. The only time I could drink milk without problems was when I was on antibiotics. Any help would be great.

Barley with honey should be the main diet. Barley is very useful for diabetes. Also... Gudmar and Shilajit are the two main herbs used by modern ayurvedic practitioners to treat diabetes. Gudmar is the best herb used for digesting sugar in the pancreas.

take it with Ghee in the morning and evening, 1 hour before or after eating.

Have you ever taken Chyawanprash?

Sorry I dont know the Hindi names. If anyone else can translate them that would be great!

How important is abstinence in fully realizing the absolute? I know from personal experience the loss of semen leaves me feeling depressed and brings me to a very low frequency ( i even get cold feet). Yet, I have read that suppressing sexual urges can be unhealthy and bad for the system. Is this true? Are there techniques necessary for one to abstain in a healthy fashion? Any opinions, ideas, exercises, techniques?

What complications arise when you take something containing lactose?

Thanks, thats a good idea. Is there a certain way of finding an Ayurvedic Doctor in Vancouver B.C. Canada? One that is reputable? I am also afraid that it will be expensive? Or should I fly to India?

Get a copper brush, and scrub your scalp all over really good 10mins pressing firmly, might hurt a little(but dont be a sissy). You will notice a huge amount of flakes ending up in your hair. Then wash your hair with a shampoo containing tea tree oil (make sure it is a nice natural shampoo). Also use a nice natural shower gel for body with herbal extracts like chamomile or lavender or aloe vera, not something that is commercial and strongly scented with chemicals. After the shower spray yourself with kewda oil mixed with water (this will pacify the vata dosha which can cause dryness) You can also massage your body once a week with sesame oil before taking a bath.
