100% agree with Aumji. Such an example of silent member is me. i am

continueosly reading all the messages for three years without any

break but have been reluctant to share anything from my side as i

always think admist the great and learned souls here, my contribution

will be none more than negligible. what i have learnt from Gyanis in

this group cannot be expressed. Therefore who are on the higher side

of saadhna must keep on contributing this priceless information/

experience/ knowledge with other, as this is also a great saadhna.

you cannot know how someone somewhere can be benefitted with your

contribution.Sudhakar ji since you are a yoga teacher, please donot

percieve it otherwise as hundered of readers read all messages with

great interest.

Dear Aumji, Jigyaasaji, Shaanji and rest of the fellow

Spiritual Travellers,

 

Further to the exchange of notes on Longevity of life between

Shantanuji and me the miraculous herb which help in achieving

this is.....wait a minute, please have patience and read the

following from the book, " Miracles of Indian Herbs " by Kaviraj,

Dr. Ganpati Singh Verma.

 

Longevity

 

According to the phrase " Shatayurve Purush " any man or woman

has the right to survive for 100 years.

Ishopanishad observes:- ......... that with a view to accomplish

good deeds, one must long (desire) to survive for 100 years in

this world. In other words if good deeds are not accompanished,

one cannot survive for 100 years. This sentence in Upanishad

indicates that longevity depends on good deeds. In this universe

of action every thing depends on action. The author of Bhagwat says:-

....... The origin and destruction of a man is from his action. In

this world, human beings get happiness, fear and distress

(suffering) due to their own actions. Man depends on destiny but

destiny itself is a part of action (Bhagwat Gita).

...... Action is the destiny of man. Hence those actions should be

performed through which life can be passed cheerfully. A man has

a right to survive for 100 years only if he performs sublime actions.

He should always keep this in mind. Which way (course) is to be

adopted to survive 100 years? The answer to this question has been

given by our Rishis and Munis by codifying their tried experiences.

...... First of all a man should control his sense of taste and should

be very judicious in the matter of eating. Besides he should take

regular exercise and observe celibacy.

 

 

.....there is still more to come, please continue

reading and then in that context the name of the herb will

be disclosed. Remember just consuming herb will no doubt

contribute towards longevity but a healthy lifestyle will

go a long way.

 

With warm wishes,

 

Sudhakar

Dear Aumji, Jigyaasaji, Shaanji and rest of the fellow

Spiritual Travellers,

 

Namaste!

 

To continue from where i left off.....

 

It is said in Bhagwait Gita:-

 

that with a view to develop all good qualities particular

attention should be paid to diet. As this diet produces immunity

from various diseases and gives strength, man will feel happiness

and would have a desire to love other human beings. Which diet can

impart the aforesaid qualities? The answer is obvious. The diet,

which activates salivary glands to produce sufficient saliva to

provide energy for bodily activities and satisfy the appetite can

keep a man always happy. On the contrary, taking of unnatural and

spiced foods breeds several diseases. Only good diet and a sound

digestive system are capable of keeping the body free from diseases.

 

Half of the stomach should be filled with food, one fourth of it

should be filled with water and the remaining one fourth should be

kept empty for air.

Food should be thoroughly masticated. This will produce saliva in

sufficient quantity. Students, university professors, teachers and

office clerks have been found to disregard this dictum. As a

result of this they are generally seen suffering from indigestion,

constipation and piles.

 

Out of the seven dhatus of the body semen is the most important.

(in females it is the RAJA.... NOT RAAJA PLEASE NOTE).

Its adequate quantity can only free the body from the clutches of

diseases and it is only on the strength of the semen that longevity

can be attained. Owing to the supreme importance of the semen, it

is essential to preserve it. Loss of semen will result in the

shortage of blood which in its turn will give rise to aneamia,

general weakness and ogther such symptoms.

 

This is the reason why our Rishis and Munis have sung the

importance and glory of brahmacharya, in beautiful verses and

have suggested balances diet together with proper exercises as

most essential for the maintenance of bodily and mental health.

 

......etc., etc., etc.,

 

In the preceding lines a description of attaining longevity is

given based on ancient scrtiptures. Now we describe a well known

herb which has been acknowledged as a promoter of long life by

our ancient Vaidyas as well as experts of the modern allopathic

system of medicine.

 

The name of this herb is Herpestis Monniera, also called as

Indian pennywort, Camel's hoof, in Sanskrit it is called as

BRAHMI, Hindi-Brahmi, Bengali-Brahmamanduki, Gujerati-Karbrahmi,

Marathi-Karivana, Telugu-Saraswathi, Tamil-Vaellorai,

Malyali-Kutakam, Kannada-Timire, Konkani-Ek Pani,

Latin-Hydrocotyle Asiatica.

 

Habitat: This small weed is common all over India, growing

plentifully in moist localities and river banks.

Chracteristics: It is a small herb with leaves resembling the

foot print of a camel. It grows in the grass mostly on river and

canal banks and spreads rapidly during the rainy season. Its leaves

are used in medicine and are available with grocers throughout the

country.

 

Brahmi and Mandukaparni are both herbs of the same species and

their shape and properties have been described to be the

identifical in " Nighantus " . Here we shall confine ourselves to the

opinion of experts regarding the property of Brahmi to bestow

longevity.

 

Pandit Devadutt Sharma of Ashtang Ayurvedic College, Calcutta

(Banoshdhi 4-5) writes that Brahmi possesses the property of

lengthening the life span much more than the effect it is known

to have on increasing mental faculties like power of thinking,

memory etc., of a person.

 

Modern scientists have also come to know that a person named

Jinchigiyan of Chine attained the age of 250 years by the regular

use of this Indian herb.

 

On learning about the properties of this herb British and French

governments appointed a committee to investigate into its

chemnical ingredients. Besides this committee several other

foreign experts have also busy in researches about this herb for

a long time. The results of the research of a very eminent English

doctor and scientist were once published. In that it was written

that this small herb possesses the miraculous property of curing

various disease. For different diseases it should be used in

combination with different herbs.

But if only two leaves of it are eaten (taken) daily it adds to the

vitality and longevity of man considerably.

Another scientist writes:- the greatest speciality of this herb is

that the use of it in a little quantity adds to vitality, strengthens

the parts of the body and provides power to fight with diseases,

old age and death.

 

It is written in Vagbhatt that if a man fries a little Brahmi or

Mandukparni in ghee and takes it with milk regularly for a month

and abstains from taking cereals, he can survive for a great

length of time.

 

Similarly it is mentioned in Charak Samhita that if the juice of

Brahmi or mandukaparni is taken with one fourth of the powder of

Glycrarhiza with milk, it cures all kinds of diseases and

bestows longevity. The dosage can be varied according to the

constitution of the user.

 

Note:- Experts have recognised the Brahmi of Uttarakhand (northern

India) to be the best. It should be administered after the

system has been cleansed by vomitting and purging.

 

 

 

The above is the exact quote from the book with all spelling,

grammatical errors etc., as it is.

 

 

 

Hope the desirous one will make an attempt to consume after

proper ritual and benefits.

 

With warm wishes,

 

Sudhakar
