[www.keralites.net] Rudrakha - everything you wanted to know

 

RUDRAKSHA - Eveything You Wanted to Know
A rudraksha is the seed of the Eliocarpus ganitrus tree and plays an important role in a spiritual seeker's life. Sadhguru looks at the various types of these beads and their benefits, including the panchmukhi and ek mukhi.
Sadhguru: Rudraksha is the seed of a particular tree species which usually grows at a certain altitude in the mountains – mainly in the Himalayan region. Unfortunately, most of these trees were used to make railway sleepers, so there are very few of them remaining in India. Today, they are mostly found in Nepal, Burma, Thailand or Indonesia. They are there in some parts of the Western Ghats in South India, but the best quality ones come from a certain altitude in Himalayas because somehow the soil, atmosphere, and everything influences it. These seeds have a very unique vibration. Usually, the big beads are not so vibrant. The smaller the bead the more vibrant it is.
Malas
Usually the beads are strung together as a mala. Traditionally, they believe the number of beads is 108 plus one. The extra bead is the bindu. There must always be a bindu to the mala, otherwise the energy becomes cyclical and people who are sensitive may become dizzy.
If you take cold water baths and are not using any chemical soap, it is especially good for the water to flow over it and upon your body.
When you string them, it is best that they are strung with either a silk thread or a cotton thread. If you wear it with a thread then it is good to take care to change the thread every six months. Otherwise one day the thread may snap and your 108 beads will go all over the place. If you want to use copper, silver or gold also it is fine, but what happens most of the time is, you take it to the jeweler to do it. When the jeweler ties a knot with a gold wire or whatever, usually they tie it too tight and close and the inside of the rudraksha cracks. I have seen, despite telling people to tell the jeweler, when they bring it back to me after getting it done, about 30-40% of the time it is broken. It is very important that you make sure it is loose. It should not be tightened too close, because if the inside crumbles with the pressure, it is no good.
The mala can be worn all the time. You can even wear it when you shower. If you take cold water baths and are not using any chemical soap, it is especially good for the water to flow over it and upon your body. But if you are using chemical soaps and warm water, it becomes brittle and will crack after sometime, so it is best to avoid wearing it at such times.
Benefits
For someone who is constantly on the move and who eats and sleeps in various places, rudraksha is a very good support because it creates a cocoon of your own energy. You might have noticed that when you go to a new place, sometimes you can fall asleep easily, whereas in certain other places you cannot fall asleep even if you are physically tired. This is because, if the situation around you is not conducive to your kind of energy, it will not let you settle down. For sadhus and sanyasis, places and situations could trouble them because they were constantly moving. One of the rules for them was never to put their head down in the same place twice. Today, once again, people have started eating and sleeping in different places because of their business or profession, so a rudraksha can be helpful.
Another thing is, sadhus or sanyasis living in the forest cannot drink water from just any pool because many times in nature, the water may be poisoned or contaminated with certain gases. If they were to drink it, it might cripple or even kill them. If a rudraksha is held above the water, if the water is good and drinkable, it will go clockwise. If it is poisoned, it will go anticlockwise. It is also a way of checking the quality of food. If you hold it above any positive pranic substance, it will move in a clockwise direction. If you hold it over any negative pranic substance, it will move in anti-clockwise direction.
A shield against negative energies
It is also a kind of shield against negative energies. It is possible for some people to use negative energies to cause harm to someone else.
It is also a kind of shield against negative energies. It is possible for some people to use negative energies to cause harm to someone else. This is a whole science by itself. One Veda, the Atharvana Veda, is all about how to use energies to your advantage and to someone else's detriment. If somebody who has mastery over this wants to use it, so many things – extreme suffering and even death can be caused.
A rudraksha is a kind of shield against this. You may think nobody will do negative things to you, but it is not necessary that it should be targeted at you. Let us say somebody did it to the person sitting next you, but he is not receptive to it. Now you may get it because you are sitting next to him. It is just like when two people are shooting at each other on the street, they do not intend to shoot you, but you may get shot. Similarly these things also can happen. It is not intended for you, but it can happen if you are in the wrong place at the wrong moment. There need not be a huge fear about such things, but a mala is a kind of protection from that.
Ek mukhi, panchmukhi and more
The number of faces a bead can have varies from a single face up to 21 faces. They are used for different purposes, so it would be improper to just buy something in the shop and put it on the body. Wearing the wrong type could disturb one's life. A lot of people want to wear an ek mukhi, which has only one face because it is very powerful. You yourself have many faces. When you have many faces, if you wear an ek mukhi, you are asking for trouble.
Five-faced beads or panchmukhi is safe and good for everyone – man, woman and child.
People say if you wear an ek mukhi, you will leave your family within twelve days. Whether you leave the family or not is not the issue, it is just that it will make your energies in such a way that you will want to be alone. It doesn't make you compatible to be with other people. If you have to wear other kinds of special beads, it is best that it is received from someone who knows these things, not just buying from the shop and putting it on your system.
Five-faced beads or panchmukhi is safe and good for everyone – man, woman and child. It is for general wellbeing, health and freedom. It lowers your blood pressure, calms your nerves and brings a certain calmness and alertness in your nervous system. Children below 12 years of age can wear six-faced beads. It will help them calm down and be more focused. Above all they will receive the right type of attention from the adult.
The Gauri-Shankar is a certain kind which brings balance between yourIda and Pingala. Generally, people believe it will bring them prosperity. Prosperity need not necessarily mean just money. It can come in so many ways. You may not own anything but still you can be prosperous in your life. If you are a balanced person and you function sensibly in your life, prosperity may come. It happens when energies function well. A Gauri-Shankar balances and activates your Ida and Pingala.
If you have chosen to purify your life, a rudraksha is a good tool and aid, a little support on the way. When someone is walking the spiritual path, he wants to use every little support on the way to enhance himself, and it is definitely a very good support. A guru usually energizes a rudraksha in different ways for different kinds of people. For people in family situations, it is energized in one way. If you want to be a brahmachari or a sanyasi, it is energized in a completely different way. People in family situations should not wear something energized in a certain way.
Genuine malas
Traditionally, rudraksha were always dealt with by people who held it as a sacred duty in their lives. For generations, they did only this. They also made their living out of it, but fundamentally it was like a sacred duty of offering it to people. But once the demand became too much, commerce came in. Today in India, there is another seed called badraksh which is a poisonous seed, which grows extensively in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and that area. To look at, both these seeds look the same. You cannot make out the difference. Only if you take it in your hand and if you are sensitive, you will know the difference. This should not be worn on the body, but these are being sold as authentic beads in many places. So it is important that you get your mala from a trusted source.

[www.keralites.net] About Your Kidneys

 

About your kidneys 
Nature cure and natural methods of treatment 
10 Common Habits That Damage Your Kidneys.. 
 
Kidney disease is one of the costliest illnesses in the world and managing kidney disease is very expensive.
Each year, lots of people die of kidney disease all over the world, and the number of people suffering from chronic renal failure,and need dialysis or kidney transplantation to stay alive keep increasing.
Statistics have it that, worldwide, more than millions patients are waiting for kidney transplants,but only a few thousands will receive transplants because of shortage of suitable organ donors.
Patients usually felt surprised when they are diagnosed of Kidney Failure. 
Experts have found the explanation from your daily life habits. 
Here are the top habits which lead to your kidney failure:
1. Not emptying your bladder early: 
Inline images 2
Maintaining a full bladder for a long time is a quick way of causing bladder damage.That the urine stays in the bladder for a long time can cause the bacteria breeding in urine to multiply quickly. 
Once the urine refluxes back to ureter and kidneys, the bacteria can result in kidney infections, 
then urinary tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uraemia. 
So, no matter how busy you are, remember to drink a lot of water and urinate regularly. 
Once you form the habit of holding back urine, it will ultimately damage your kidneys.
2. Not drinking enough water:
The main functions of the kidneys are to regulate erythrocyte balances and eliminate metabolic wastes in urine. 
If we do not drink enough water, the blood will be concentrated and the blood flow to the kidney will not be adequate, 
thus the function of eliminating toxins in from blood will be impaired.
3. Taking too much salt:

95% sodium we consume through food is metabolized by the kidneys. 
Exceeding the salt intake will make the kidneys work harder to excrete the excess salt and can lead to decreased kidney function. 
This excess sodium will cause water retention, causing oedema. 
Oedema usually elevates blood pressure and increases the risk of developing kidney disease. 
The daily salt intake should be controlled within 6g per day.
4. Not treating common infections quickly and properly:

Common infections, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold etc., usually trigger or aggravates kidney damage. 
They do this by causing an acute attack of acute glomerulonephritis or chronic nephritis. 
So, you will see that people who get kidney disease for the first time or 
whose illness condition becomes worse usually present in hospitals with a history of cold or sore throat. 
If after having cold, symptoms like blood in urine, swelling, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite appear, 
you should consult your doctor immediately, to assess your kidney functions, and start treatment if compromised.
5. Eating too much meat:
Inline images 6
Eating too much meat and protein can increase the metabolic load of the kidney. 
For those suffering from proteinuria, meat consumption too may aggravate protein leakage, worsening renal pathological lesion.
It is suggested that protein intake should be 0.8g/kg per day. 
This means that a person with 50 kg should consume 40g of protein per day. Meat consumption per day should be limited within 300g.
6. Not eating enough:

This is equally as dangerous as eating too much, 
both of them will lead damages to your digestive organs where is full of mucosal tissues. 
Mucosal tissues relates closely to your immune system. 
This is why many kidney failure patients are diagnosed with "autoimmune kidney damages".
7. Painkiller abuse:
Inline images 8
The use of analgesics for a prolonged duration may reduce the flow blood and greatly affect kidney function. 
In addition, patients with analgesic-induced renal failure are more likely to suffer from bladder cancer.
Use analgesics only when it's absolutely necessary, learn to rest instead of taking to the bottles. 
If you have been on pain killers for a long term, it's about time you had a test to access you renal function done.
8. Missing your drugs:
Inline images 9
Hypertension and diabetes have been shown to precipitate or accelerate kidney damage, 
so if you are diagnosed as having any of these diseases don't live your life in denial, USE YOUR DRUGS.
This will ultimately help control your condition while also helping to preserve your kidneys.
9. Drinking alcohol:
Inline images 10
Drinking alcohol may cause the deposition of uric acid in renal tubules, causing tubular obstruction and increasing risks of kidney failure.
10. Not resting enough:
In our society, hypertension as a severe threat to life is largely due to stress. 
A common symptom of stress is insomnia. 
Blood pressure may increase by an average of 2-5mg/Hg because of insomnia. 
Chronically elevated blood pressure can cause damage to kidney capillaries giving rise to kidney problems. 
Thus, we need to develop a good attitude to life and strike a good balance between work and rest to protect your kidneys and live a healthy life.
At the early stage of kidney diseases, there are usually no the special symptoms, 
so lots of patients are not diagnosed until the acute attack appears or the illness condition develops into the late stage. 
So you should endeavour to do kidney function test from time to time to assess how healthy your kidneys are.
Never ignore the soreness of waist, swelling of the feet, changes in urine colour or volume, increase in night urination, pallor, high blood pressure and other such symptoms.
Once found, you should go and see your doctor immediately.

[www.keralites.net] Two Lizards

 

Two Lizards:
Once, Baba was sitting in the masjid and a devotee was sitting in front of Him. Suddenly, a lizard ticked-ticked. Out of curiosity, the devotee asked Baba whether this tick-ticking of the lizard signified anything; was it a good sign or a bad omen?
Baba said the lizard was overjoyed, as her sister from Aurangabad was coming to see her. The devotee sat silent, not understanding the meaning of Baba's words.
Just then, a gentleman from Aurangabad arrived on horseback to see Baba. He wanted to proceed further, but his horse would not go on as it was hungry and wanted grams. He took off a bag of grams from his shoulder and dashed it on the ground to remove dirt. As a lizard came out therefrom and in the presence of all, climbed up the wall, Baba told His devotee to mark her well. The little lizard immediately went strutting over to her sister.
Both sisters kissed and embraced each other, whirled round and danced with love, overjoyed at seeing each other after such a long time.
Where is Shirdi and where is Aurangabad? How is it the man on horseback had come to Shirdi from Aurangabad with the lizard? And how is it Baba prophesied the meeting of the two sisters? This wonderful story illustrates the omniscience of the all knowing nature of Sai Baba.
-Sri Sai Satcharitra
