Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 it is mentioned in the text that warm water will be lighter than the cold water , so it is desirable for the digestion, and cold water may reduce the digestive fire , in the light of these ayurveda reccomend warm water . it is true that the heating reduces the density , and removes or settle some undesirable contents form the water, but the mention in the text is about the temperature of the water at the time of consumption, so if you take refrigerated boiled water then it may not be good as it has the quality of cold with it .

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 In India, almost all source of water are polluted. This condition has existed for a long time. So it is just practical to boil water before drinking. Otherwise you will have more or less continual dysentery from protozoan infections. I cxan tell you never lived in India... The Esoteric Teaching is the most ancient original source material on Yoga and Meditation in the world. For many years, the actual history and methods of Yoga, Meditation and Tantra have been hidden behind a smokescreen of disinformation and deception deliberately created to confuse and defeat anyone who tried to research these esoteric subjects. As a result, Yoga teachings and practices in the West, and even in India, have become completely distorted from the original. The Brotherhood of the Esoteric Teaching is a secret resistance movement against the worldwide conspiracy to pollute and disempower the sacred truths of the Vedas. Finally, the time has come to release these confidential truths and expose the sinister movement that keeps them from benefiting the whole world with peace, prosperity and enlightenment. The Introductory Seminar, "The Hidden History of Yoga and Tantra," tells the complete story and introduces you directly to the original source materials of Yoga, Meditation and Tantra. No other school or teaching of Yoga does this. Why not?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Unboiled water has many chemicals so called hard water., which is heavy to digest. Boiled water has LAGHU GUNA and much easy to digest at VATA TYPE OF AGNI (vishtabdhagni) too. So it control the diseases. So boiled water is good for heath. --- ayurveda <davidbrucehughes wrote: > In India, almost all source of water are polluted. This condition has > existed for a long time.
