Diet by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis and other notes. 4

[Guest guest]

Light and Love By Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis milk, processed cheese,

milk based sweets are not welcome for healthy diet. Theoretically, it is

understandable, but according to today’s conditions, it is hard to follow.

Today there are many different standpoints by science. Several of them are

controversial. About them in the following parts.

 

Let us look at it using our common sense - is there any other animal in

nature that drinks another animal's milk after it has weaned away from the

mother's milk? The calcium in milk is bound up in casein. Casein and

lactose are broken down in our body by rennin and lactase respectively. Both

these enzymes are all but missing from the human body by the age of 3 - in many

cases even earlier. (There is 300 times more casein in cow's milk than in human

milk). Casein in milk remains undigested in our body where it sticks to the

mucous membrane of the intestines. The intestines react by secreting more

mucous to wash it off. Soon it begins to degenerate and putrefy due to the

bacteria feeding on it. This putrid matter is then pushed around in the body -

never able to leave and causing more and more mucous to be produced which the

body endeavours to throw out through its orifices. Ones who suffer from

tonsilitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, ear infections, asthma, discharging eyes,

vaginal discharges, amoebiasis, migraine, colitis try not to drink milk.

The truth is - the more milk we drink, the more we are likely to suffer from

calcium deficiency! The high phosphorus content in milk upsets the delicate

balance which the blood maintains between phosphorus and calcium. Due to the

high phosphorus content, the blood is forced to draw calcium from healthy bones

and teeth - so drinking milk can actually cause osteoporosis (brittle bones) and

can cause teeth to decay. The excess calcium so carried by the blood is

then deposited in soft tissues causing tumors, cataracts, kidney and

gallstones, spurs and bony growths, spondylitis, sciatica, thyroid problems,

prostate problems, atherosclerosis (deposits in arteries), etc. What is

the first thing the body does when the milk is ingested? The body produces

acidic enzymes in order to curdle the milk so that it can stay longer in the

stomach for digestion. In fact, lemon water and tamarind water are both

powerful antacids. (This may sound peculiar when doctors keep telling us that

these two items are acidic). What we view under the "microscope" in the

laboratory is not necessarily, how the inside of our body views it. Inside

the body both, these remove acid. Take a cue from our traditional eating

patterns - our chutneys, chaats, sambars, rasams - which are "hot and spicy" -

always use tamarind in the recipes to antidote the ulcer causing chillies.

Another thing that antidotes the chillies are pure desi ghee (clarified butter).

South Indian food -rice is liberally "garnished" with desi ghee to antidote the

chillies in the "hot" sambars and rasams. People with operable peptic and

duodenal ulcers have been saved from the surgeon's knife by the help of two

things. A. Giving up non-vegetarian foods, eggs and dairy products except

ghee (cooking everything in ghee - no oil) butter and homemade yoghurt (curds).

B. Introducing fresh lemon and water into their early morning regimen on

waking (honey may be added but no salt or sugar). During two weeks, one

can have the results. After a month, one will feel like a new person as

organism has purified from toxins and various unhealthy products. There may

be weight loss. (Many people are aware that at the age of 40 being overweight is

not good - but by views of Vedic wisdom and modern science the roots of

foundation "fat" are in childhood. Many diseases starts with wrong eating

patterns acquired through childhood conditioning.

What concern to milk then cow gives it to human beings at the cost of her

own babies. About modern dairy in very brief. Anyone knows how cows

are treated. Over fattened with drugs, cows as principal herbivores are fed

chicken bones in its feed. Cow's udder is hooked to a machine. She stands long

hours parting with milk in this crude way all the year round. Her milk is

produced at the behest of hormones. (Hormone oxitocin is used during

childbirth in women where the contractions of the uterus are insufficient.

Oxytocin produces contractions in the uterus). In India, the same hormone

has injected to cows and buffalos twice a day because this causes the milk to

flow faster. (Oxytocin is a "banned" drug worldwide for animals, but is

available at a throwaway cost in India and almost every milkman uses it.

Besides the fact that this hormone causes several disorders in humans when they

drink this milk, it causes acute torture to the animal. Indian milkmen push

an iron rod into the uterus of the cow and crudely shake it about to cause pain,

which they believe will make the milk flow faster. What kind of milk a cow that

goes through this kind of torture, will "gift" us)?

The spiritual consciousness is closely connected with ecological one. How

can a human being to obtain a spiritual/ecological consciousness when he/she is

regularly uses and produces junk food, by methods hostile to the nature, plants

and animals? It is actual global problem. For human society’s enlightenment,

there is a need to entwine spirituality, science and ecological consciousness.

The basic role here plays Swami's wisdom gifted to humanity.

 

"Eating food is a holy ritual, a yajna. It should not be performed during

moments of anxiety or emotional tension. Food has to be considered as medicine

for the illness of hunger and as the sustenance of life." (Sri Bhagawan Sathya

Sai Baba; http://beaskund.helloyou.ws/askbaba/vidyavahini/vidya29.html).

Natural, pure food, received by friendly to nature technology is instead of

medicine and sustainer of life towards spirituality.
