More on natural instincts - from Acharya ji.

[Guest guest]

My dear Jagan, When we talk about instincts, they are millions ofyears old. Each species has its peculiar instincts. AsI explained about the dog stretching in a particularfashion before it takes to its feet or runs, thatkeeps the dogs spine in excellent shape preventing andeven curing back strains and many other healthparameters. The Holy Mother has explained the sniffing out andeating the correct blade of grass out of so many. Thatkeeps the cows healthy and prevents them from fallingsick as correct food is the best medicine or tonic forgood alround health and well being. The moment we change, nay tinker with the instincts,the health and well-being goes to dogs. When the wayof living is changed to normal with instinctivebehaviour including food, water and what not, theperson, whether man or animal, his health restoresitself without even asking. Another example about instincts is from unforeseenfloods that devastated and destroyed most of the manmade things in Andmans & Nicobar islands. But thetribals, due to their instinctive sensing of dangerand about what to do instinctively, got saved (orsaved themselves) while their modern counterparts, thesocalled well-educated and well-heeled people gotcaught in the floods and got ruined. Now coming to disease, let me explain what I do whenpatients come to me with various aches and pains.First, I lecture them on eating natural food giving anexample of Satyanarayan Pooja where God demands fivetypes of seasoal fruits. God does not come to eatthem. But once they are put in 'prasad' as an offeringto God, that should not be discarded and has to beeaten. That is how God insured, through the Pooja thatHis devotees eat the right kind of food so that theydon't fall sick. The seasonal fruits and seasonalvegetables contain all the vitamins, minerals andmicro-nutrients that have preventive and curativeproperties against all diseases of those particularseasons. The plants also grow in that season and facethe seasonal weather and health conditions. Theydevelop anti-bodies to deal with those problems. Whenman eats the seasonal fruits, he is benefited all themore, in additions to nutrients. But man started deceiving God. He brings small sizeand any quality of fruits, offers to God just by wayof finishing the ritual and makes special prasad of'Halwa, Puri' and what not and gorges on that invitingsickness and disease. See when man was not modern, when there were no housesor agriculture, he used to look around and see ifthere were any fruits or roots that he could consume.During that season, he would get only seasonalproducts. In

winter, we get Nagpuri Oranges. They areloaded with Vit. C that helps in preventing coughs andcolds. In summer you get grapes. Grape juice isexcellent to treat heat-strokes. It acts withinminutes. Oranges and Mangoes, Papaya and other yellowfruits are good for the eyes to ward off the illeffects of strong UV sun's rays.Besides, eating fruits and vegetables gives enoughfibre also that keeps away constipation which is themother of all aches and pains and many diseases. Next thing I tell them about drinking plenty of water,enough to produce about two litres of urine in 24hours irrestive of the seasons. That keeps the kidneysflushed, avoids constipation and keeps the blood pureand free of so many toxins that get eliminated by moreurination. AND the third thing, I tell them to do the exercisesof hands, feet and the legs instinctively like the dogstretching or twitching of the hind

portion by thesparrows, etc. If it is done instinctively, it startsgiving instant pleasure, nay the back pain convertsinto instant pleasure within minutes in the presenceof all those present. This small prescription with a few do's and don'ts notonly relieves pain but also starts rejuvenating theentire person physically, mentally and spiritually.How and why it helps cure many other ailments isexplained in another article, disease by disease. Instincts are much older than Vedas, Puranas, Yoga andwhat not. When man starts behaving as per his originalinstincts (that he has now lost due to modernisationand lifestyle changes), he starts healing himself.Hence, please do not confuse instincts with medicalscience. Baba Ramdev with all possible confidence,declares that pranayam can cure all known and unknowndiseases. I am now combining the two. Five minutes

ofinstinctive exercises as and when one wants to refreshoneself and ten minutes each of Kapaalbhati andAnulon-vilome with proper food and enough water todrink. Then there is no reason to fall sick at all andif sick, one can fully restore one's health withoutspeding a single penny, nay saving lots of money inthe process as pure food is cheaper than caviar or anyother highly processed items.
