Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Cultivate Good Food Habits Brahmarpanam Brahma HavirBrahmagnou BrahmanahutamBrahmaiva Thena GanthavyamBrahma Karma Samadhina. (Brahman is the ladle as well as the oblation. He is the sacrificial fire as also the sacrificer. And finally, Brahman is the goal of one who is engaged in the act of sacrifice.) When you pray in this manner before you partake of your food, God immediately responds thus: Aham Vaishvanaro BhutvaPraninam DehamasritahPranapana Samayukta Pachamyannam Chaturvidham. (I am present in all beings in the form of digestive fire. United with the Prana (exhalation) and Apana (inhalation), it is I who consume the four kinds of food.) While taking food, you must always ensure that you take only such items which you can easily digest. Never consume food which you cannot digest. Just as you sit down happily for taking food, so also when you get up after taking your food, you must feel happy and light. Some people sit for food with a light stomach and get up with a heavy stomach after eating bellyful. This is not the proper method of taking food. Always take light food. These are the habits you must cultivate. - From Bhagawan's Vinayaka Chathurthi Discourse in 2004 5, 50, 500, 5000. Store N number of mails in your inbox.
