MORNING PRAYER

Shri Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Sama Prabha


Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Karyesu Sarvada

“We salute our Supreme Lord, Ganesha, who has a curved trunk
and whose radiance is equal to a million suns. May you bless all
our endeavors and remove all obstacles from our path.”

PRANAYAMA
Breath Discipline
PRANA is our life force. Whatever
movement is happening within our
body right now is happening because
of the Prana. Blood flow, heart
pumping, organs functioning,
everything is possible due to Prana.
The BODY cannot move by itself. Prana is responsible for
all our body movements, the thoughts that come into our
minds, and the ideas.
1/7
Pranayama is the control of our prana/breathing.
Once we control our breathing, all aspects of our life come
into our hands and when the breath is not in control, our
reactions are happening on their own, and we have little
control over them. One day you are tired, one day you are
energetic, one day sick, and one day calm.
Dogs breathe fast hence their life spans are less, maximum up
to 12-15 years but turtles breathe very slowly, which is why
they live for 150-200 years. That means the speed and
quality of our breathing decides how long we will live.

When a candle is burning, it requires oxygen from its


environment to burn. Suddenly wind flows and the
candle extinguishes. That means when the speed of
the air is too much, there is fluctuation. Notice,
whenever we are stressed/angry/or disturbed, our
breath will become fast and shallow. The more
unstable the breathing, the more unstable the mind.
2/7
Pranayama is stabilisation of breathing. It
is inhalation & exhalation with retention.
If we want our minds to become calm,
breathing should be slow and steady.

BENEFITS OF PRANAYAMA :
1. By regularly doing pranayama, we can save ourselves from
all diseases.
2. The work efficiency of all body parts increases.
3. The concentration power of the mind and memory increases.
4. Ageing process is delayed.
5. Stress, anxiety, and tension, all get reversed.

HEALTHY HABIT OF THE DAY
DITCH THE WHITES
Mother nature has provided us with wholesome foods but we
have started refining/fragmenting our foods.
Fragmented food which has been changed in nature so much
that a lot of its nutrition is thrown away.
WHITE RICE - when nature gives us rice, it
gives it to us with choker - a brown cover on
it. It has a lot of nutrition but we remove
the bran and only consume the white
rice which barely has any nutrition. It has only carbs/sugar,
hence we crave it. So always consume rice with choker like
brown rice, red rice etc. The organic and unpolished one.
Whenever we consume brown rice, we first have to soak
it for 3-4 hours. If the rice takes long to cook, you'll
know that it's organic and un-polished.

4/7
SUGAR - Mother nature gives us sugar cane, from which
comes jaggery. Even that has a lot of nutrition. You might
have noticed that we have to put a lot of jaggery to make
our food taste sweeter but when we convert this jaggery and
suck out all the nutrients, we are left with white sugar. It
degenerates our bones and constantly gives us dopamine hits
and hence we crave more of it.

So please switch to jaggery, and choose dark-coloured jaggery


when buying. The light one is similar refined & not very
different from sugar. The darker the jaggery, the purer.

5/7
MAIDA - the biggest culprit that is making our intestines
filthy. This is why our intestines are not able to absorb the
nutrition from our food. Completely cut out maida and
products made from refined wheat flour, and within one
week you'll notice how much your digestion & bowel
movements have improved.

REPLACEMENT TABLE

White Rice Brown/Red Rice

Sugar Jaggery/Dates/Raisins

Refined Flour Whole Wheat/Millets

ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

Breathe in and out with nature


Place 1 hand on your heart and another
hand on a tree. Breathe in and know that
you're breathing what the tree is giving
you. Breathe out and realize that what
you're exhaling, the tree is breathing in.
You are connected through your breath.
