EditorialIndians have always worshipped nature and

preserved it right from the time of the Vedas. We have learnt nature’s secrets and learned how to respect, protect and grow nature all around us. Development of our societies has always been in line with nature and its well being. While we need development to sustain and develop our country in the fast growing era, all precaution must be taken to ensure that nature and its people are not affected and displaced by this change. AT the same time people must be made aware of vested interests that work against the progress of our nation. These threats maybe from within and outside our nation. These threats maybe veiled in the name of social service and other opportunities, which common man gets attracted to without properly understanding the ulterior motives.

For the society to understand this deceit they need to be educated. Education simply does not come from school books and high end college degrees alone. It also comes from our civilization and passed on for generations. The country’s future does not depend on political leaders or governments but on the good quality of the society which has been moulded and

built on the basis of our rich heritage. Every citizen must realize his own worth and work in tandem with the society for the betterment of the same society. And as part of that society it is our duty to help every aspiring citizen.

The cycle of violence we see in our nation today is simply because our society has not yet fully comprehended the importance of the freedom we achieved 65 years ago. They have no sense of attachment to the nation. It is just ‘I’ and what it takes to sustain that entity. This needs to change. Reservations to uplift the needy people in our society must not be used as a tool to be played around by politicians and criminals for their personal benefit. While these reservations maybe be still the need of the day, the benefiting communities must also understand that after 60 years it is time for them to rise up to the occasion and join the main stream based on merit and ability. Till then we will see countless crimes in the name of caste and appeasement.

All of the nation’s ills can only be eliminated by a sense of national integration. The artists who defame’s national symbols or the one who hurts the sentiments of community by drawing and writing hate are people who will always test the integrity of our nation. Instead of being pulled into the disturbing web they weave we need to indulge ourselves in the richness of our national identity.

Lord Krishna, who gave us the Gita taught us the way we need to follow. He remains the role model of our young generation. It is essential the essence of what he taught us be given to new generation as part of their upbringing. Festivals like Sri Krishna Jayanthi must be seen in the light. Organizations like Bala Darhsan, Bala Barathi, Bala Gokulam understand the importance of cultural education and have been doing this work extensively.

Like our national symbols, our language, way of living and respect for others are traits that needs to recognized and nurtured in our future generations also. A national language like Samskrita plays a major role in understanding our scriptures and what message they teach us. Seva Darshan brings this opportunity to you next month by organizing a Spoken Sanskrit Workshop for adults and children. We should take this opportunity to learn about India, learn about who we are.email : [email protected]

When we talk about the planet’s earliest civiliza-tion, we are talking about the world's earliest sophis-ticated society after the last ice age. This means that according to the Vedic time tables, various forms of civilization have been existing for millions of years. But the first record of an organized and developed society was the Vedic culture that arose in ancient India with the Indus Sarasvati civilization, and then spread out from there in all directions around the world.

Often times we see that students, even in India’s academic system, have not studied or encountered the contributions that were made by early civiliza-tion in the area of ancient India. Not only are they not aware of such developments that had been given from India, but there is often a lack of such knowl-edge to be studied. Therefore, this article is to help fill that gap of information and to show how this area of the world, indeed, had a most advanced civi-lization, but was also where many of society's ad-vancements originated.

"Hindus are a race who have dwelled on the most fundamental questions about life (& death), about nature and its origins. The bold questioning by Hin-dus gave birth to theories, axioms, principles and a unique approach to and a way of life. The approach to life and the way of life led to the evolution of one of the most ancient and grand cultures on the face of the earth. The spiritual aspects of Hindu culture are more commonly known, the fact that science, technology and industry were a part of their culture is little known.

"For historical reasons, the achievements of an-cient Indians in various fields of science and tech-nology are not popularly known to Indians. The re-cent research by Sri Dharmpal and others has shown that the colonial invaders and the rulers had a vested interest in distorting and destroying the information regarding all positive aspects of Indian culture. The conventional understanding today is that Indians were more concerned about rituals, about spiritual-ity, and the world above or the world after death. That Indians were an equally materialistic people,

The Greatness Of Ancient India’s Developments

that India was the industrial workshop of the world till the end of 18th century, that Indians had taken up basic questions of the principles of astronomy, fundamental particles, origins of the universe, ap-plied psychiatry and so on, are not well documented and not popularly known. That ancient Indians had highly evolved technologies in textile engineering, ceramics, printing, weaponry, climatology and me-teorology, architecture, medicine and surgery, met-allurgy, agriculture and agricultural engineering, civil engineering, town planning, and similar other fields is known only to a few scholars even today. The information about the science and technologi-cal heritage of India is embedded in the scriptures, the epics and in several of the technical texts. The information needs to be taken out of these and pre-sented.

Facts like Indians had the knowledge that the sun is the center of the solar system, about the geogra-phy of the earth, the way the plants produce food, the way blood circulates in the body, the science of abstract mathematics and numbers, the principles of health, medicine and surgery and so on at a time in history when the rest of the world did not know how

to think, talk and write has to be exposed to people. This can draw the attention of these communities, especially the future generation towards ‘ideas’ that are essentially Indian.

There are several published works on the his-tory of India. Such works are written by Indian scholars as well as western researchers in oriental and Indological studies. Many of these works are highly scholastic and are not amenable to the com-mon man. There is a need to make the knowledge of science heritage of India known to one and all. Further, there is need for studying scriptures, epics, and other ancient literature (in Sanskrit as well as other regional languages) to unearth the wealth of knowledge of our ancestors. Reports of such studies also need to be published continuously.

THE ADVANCED NATURE OF ANCIENT INDIAN SCIENCES

Achievements in the sciences of ancient India were known all over the world, even in Arabia, Chi-na, Spain, and Greece, countries in which medieval scholars acknowledged their indebtedness to India.

The first nation to have cultivated science is India... India is known for the wisdom of its peo-ple. Over many centuries, all the kings of the past have recognized the ability of the Indians in all the branches of knowledge. To their credit the Indians have made great strides in the study of numbers and of geometry. They have acquired immense informa-tion and reached the zenith in their knowledge of the movements of the stars [astronomy]. ...After all that they have surpassed all other people in their knowl-edge of medical sciences..."

Some of the most important developments in the history of mathematics that took place in India, are the contributions of luminaries such as Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira, Bhaskara, and Madhava.

Of their subtle discoveries in the science of as-tronomy – discoveries even more ingenious than those of the Greeks and Babylonians – of their ra-tional system of mathematics, or of their method of calculation which no words can praise strongly enough.

India created the beginnings of all sciences and she carried some of them to a remarkable degree of development, thereby leading the world. India has produced great literature, great arts, great philo-sophical systems, great religions, and great men in

every department of life–rulers, statesmen, finan-ciers, scholars, poets, generals, colonizers, skilled artisans and craftsmen of every kind, agricultural-ists, industrial organizers, and leaders in far reaching trade and commerce by land and sea.

India was a far greater industrial and manufac-turing nation than any in Europe or than any other in Asia. Her textile goods–the fine products of her loom, in cotton, wool, linen, and silk–were famous over the civilized world; so were her exquisite jewel-ry and her precious stones, cut in every lovely form; so were her pottery, porcelains, ceramics of every kind, quality, color and beautiful shape; so were her fine works in metal iron, steel, silver, and gold. She had great architecture–equal in beauty to any in the world. She had great engineering works... Not only was she the greatest ship-building nation, but she had great commerce and trade by land and sea which extended to all known civilized countries. Powerful empires existed and flourished in India while Eng-lishmen were still wandering, painted in the woods, while the English colonies were a wilderness and a jungle. India has left a deeper mark upon the history, the philosophy, and the religion of mankind, than any other terrestrial unit in the universe.

In addition to the still visible past glories of art and architecture, the wonderful ancient literature, and other cultural achievements of which educated Indians are justly proud, the Indian past includes an-other type of glory most tantalizing to the Indians of today–prolonged material prosperity. For well over a millennium and a half, the Indian subcontinent


may have been the richest area in the world. Math-ematical science was so perfect and astronomical observations so complete that the paths of the sun and moon were accurately measured. It was an as-tonishing discovery that Hindusthan possessed, in spite of the changes of the realms and changes of time, a language of unrivaled richness and variety; a language, the parent of all those dialects that Eu-rope has fondly called classical–the source alike of Greek flexibility and Roman strength.

The Hindu Revelation (Vedas) is of all revela-tions the only one whose ideas are in perfect har-mony with modern science, as it proclaims the slow and gradual formation of the world. The Hindu reli-gion is the only one of the world's great faiths, dedi-cated to the idea that the cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed, an infinite number of deaths and births. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern cosmology. The point is that all science of the Vedic tradition was developed with or in continuation of the an-cient Vedic or spiritual knowledge that was a central point in understanding life. It was part of the Abso-lute Truth, or Sanatana-dharma, by which we could understand how to function in this world, and what is the purpose of both this world and our life in it. From this point, so many other developments took place, not as a means to control the environment, but as a means to know how to work holistically with nature for our material and spiritual progress and growth.

India is the cradle of the human race, birth place of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of tradition, whose yesterdays bear date with the moldering antiqui-ties of the rest of the nations... India had the start of the whole world at the beginning of things. She had the first civilization; she had the first accumula-tion of material wealth; she was populous with deep thinkers and the subtle intellects; she had mines, and woods, and a fruitful soil.

Even in scientific discoveries, there are those who acknowledge the knowing that has taken the rest of the world ages with which to catch up. To the philosophers of India, however, relativity is no new discovery, just as the concept of light years is no matter for astonishment to people used to think-ing of time in millions of kalpas [days of Brahma]. The fact that the wise men of India have not been concerned with technological applications of this

knowledge arises from the circumstance that tech-nology is but one of innumerable ways of applying it. It is, indeed, a remarkable circumstance that when Western civilization discovers relativity, it applies it to the manufacture of atom bombs, whereas, Orien-tal (Vedic) civilization applies it to the development of new states of consciousness. In India, we see the beginnings of theoretical speculations of the size and nature of the earth. Some 1,000 years before Ar-istotle, the Vedic Aryans asserted that the earth was round and circled the sun. Two thousand years be-fore Pythagorus, philosophers in northern India had understood that gravitation held the solar system together, and that therefore the sun, the most mas-sive object, had to be at its center. Western math-ematical heritage and pride are critically dependent on the triumphs of ancient Greece. These accom-plishments have been so greatly exaggerated that it often becomes difficult to sort out how much of modern math is derived from Greece and how much from the Indians and so on. Our modern numerals 0 through 9 were developed in India. Mathematics existed long before the Greeks constructed their first right angle.

THE ANTIQUITY OF VEDIC CULTURE For example, archeologists have found 7000-

year-old rock paintings in the Aravalli mountain range near Benari dam in the Kotputli area of Jaipur district in Rajasthan in 1991. These paintings are adjacent to the site of the famous Indus Valley Civi-lization. Such 7000-year-old (5000 BCE) paintings were also found in Braham Kund Ki Dungari and Budhi Jeengore in Rajasthan. This discovery makes the Vedic civilization more ancient than the Egyp-

tian and Greek and Mesopotamian civilizations. This also negates the Aryan Invasion Theory. It was reported that the department of Archeology and Mu-seums in the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan discovered as many as 300 prehistoric paintings on Kanera rocks in an area of 400 square miles near the town of Nimbahera in Chittorgarh district. These paintings are dated between 50,000 to 60,000 years old. That pushes the earliest reaches of Vedic civilization to at least 50,000 years back. It was reported therein that newly discovered archaeological sites in southern and northern India have revealed how people lived before and after the colossal Toba volcanic eruption 74,000 years ago. A potentially ground-breaking implication of the new work is that the species re-sponsible for making the stone tools in India was Homo sapiens. Stone tool analysis has revealed that the artefacts consist of cores and flakes, which are classified in India as Middle Palaeolithic and are similar to those made by modern humans in Africa. Though we are still searching for human fossils to definitively prove the case, we are encouraged by the technological similarities. This suggests that human populations were present in India prior to 74,000 years ago, or about 15,000 years earlier than expected based on some genetic clocks.

History certainly proves that India was also one of the wealthiest countries on the planet in its ear-lier days. Not only did she have vast treasures of knowledge and developments, but ancient India also had great wealth, such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls, and other gems, along with sunny climate, great fertility, and much more that was ex-ported to various parts of the world, but the deep levels of knowledge and development was another of her greatest assets. For this reason, the ambition of all conquerors was to possess the area of India. The pearl presented by Julius Caesar to Servilia, the mother of Brutus, as well as the famous pearl ear-ring of Cleopatra, were obtained from India. The Koh-i-noor diamond, weighing at 106.5 carats, one of the most fabled of diamonds, was taken to England from India. When the Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed the famous Somnath temple, he found astonishing wealth in diamonds and jewels. He also sacked Mathura and gathered numerous De-ities in gold and silver. Ultimately, it was the wealth of India that drew the barbaric Arabs to the country, and then let the half-civilized Tartars to overrun it.

The people of India were actually not so bar-

baric as the invaders that forced their way into the country, but rather some of the most civilized in the world, primarily because of their sophisticated level of consciousness and gentleness towards one anoth-er caused by their training in the principles of the Vedic spiritual culture. The Indians are gentle and benevolent, more susceptible of gratitude for kind-ness shown them, and less prompted to vengeance for wrongs inflicted than any people on the face of the earth; faithful, affectionate, submissive to legal authority. 'The Indians are brave, courteous, intel-ligent, most eager for knowledge and improvement; sober, industrious, dutiful parents, affectionate to their children, uniformly gentle and patient, and more easily affected by kindness and attention to their wants and feelings than any people.

If a good system of agriculture, unrivaled manu-facturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice of hos-pitality and charity amongst each other, and above all, a treatment of the female sex full of confidence, respect, and delicacy, are among the signs which de-note a civilized people.

Max Muller said, "If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly en-dowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow–in some parts a very paradise on earth–I should point to India. If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found so-lutions of some of them which well deserve the at-tention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant–I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we, here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life–again I should point to India."

The father of White Revolution in India and hailed as India's “doodhwalla”(milkman), Dr. Verghese Kurien passed away on Sunday 9th September 2012. Mr. Kurien was the founder-chairman of National Dairy Development Board (1965-98) and chairman of Gujarat Co-Operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF)(1973-2006), and also the Institute of Rural management (1979-2006).

Born on Nov 26,1921 at Kozhikode, Kerala, Mr. Kurien who was instrumental in laying the foundation of demo-cratic enterprises dedicated his life to the cause of em-powering Indian farmers through co-operative societies. By placing technology and professional management in the hands of the farmers, he tried to improve the living standards of millions of poor people living in the remote villages of India.

After completing his graduation in Physics and Me-chanical engineering from Madras University, Mr. Kurien acquired specialized training at the Imperial Institute of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in Bangalore. In 1948, he completed his masters in Mechanical Engineering from the Michigan State University, USA, with dairy engineer-ing as a minor subject.

On completing his studies, Mr. Kurien came back to India and joined as a dairy engineer in a government fac-tory in Anand, Gujarat. He worked there only for just six months. Just as he was planning to move to Mumbai, Tribhuvandas Patel, the then chairman of Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union, popularly known as 'Amul', with whom Kurien had developed a good friend-ship, requested him to stay back in Anand for some more time and help him organize his co-operative society's dairy equipment. Kurian stayed back there for a few more days which resulted in his becoming the legend through Opera-tion Flood in 1971.

The first dairy co- operative Union in Gujarat formed in 1942 was started with only two village co-operative so-cieties as members and only 274 liters of milk collected by them. His decision to stay back at Anand changed the destiny of the entire Indian dairy sector and later resulted in the dairy co-operative movement.

Mr. Kurian believed that development of man can best be achieved by putting in his hands the instruments of de-velopment. He made the neighborhood 'doodhwala' a key

player in the country's struggle for economic development and progress at the grass root level. He believed that the greatest assets of this country are its people, and dedicated his life to the task of harnessing the power of the people in a manner which promoted their larger interests. He proved it by the Operation Flood in 1971 - creating a national milk grid - which was implemented in three phases. Not only did it result in making India the world's largest producer of milk and milk products, it also helped reduce malpractices by milk producers and merchants.

He was a man with the rarest vision who devoted his lifetime for the development of India. The architect of "Operation Flood" the largest dairy development pro-gramme in the world, is recognized among the other com-panies for making India the largest milk producer in the world, especially when food shortage was the major cause of concern.

Along with his empowerment of farmers for develop-ment of the country, he also brought forward a point that the young, educated and professional to stay in India will make changes happen in the positive way. He also brought to picture the importance of creating our own domestic market for better growth of the country.

His autobiography ‘I too had a dream’’ is a narrative of how the common people under a visionary and charismat-ic leadership can bring about a radical change in the status quo and how a tiny ripple in the form of people’s move-ment can create a nation-wide impact, when convinced of their own strengths and ability to bring about change for the common good of all.

For his vision and contributions, this unassuming man has won many awards during his lifetime and served as a role model to many others. In 1963, the Ramon Magsay-say Award for Community Leadership, the Padma Shri in 1965, the Padma Bhushan in1966, the Krishi Ratna and Wateler Peace Prize in 1986, World Food Price in 1989, International Person of the Year Award in 1993 and the Padma Vibhushan in 1999.

India salute you Mr. Varghese Kurian and thank you for giving us the Hausla, Pragati and Anand and we all share the tears of our dearest Amul girls.

The land (Brajbhoomi) where Shri Krishna was born and spent his youth has today little towns and hamlets that are still alive with the Krishna leg-end and still redolent with the music of his flute. Mathura, a little town on the River Yamuna was transformed into a place of faith after Lord Krishna was born here. Vrindavan, a village - once noted for its fragrant groves, is where he spent an eventful youth. There are numerous other little spots in the area that still reverberate with the enchantment of Shri Krishna.

Mathura City is the transcendental abode of Lord Krishna. It is not an ordinary material city, for it is eternally connected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Vrindavan is within the jurisdiction of Mathura and still continues to exist. Because Mathura and Vrindavan are intimately connected with Krishna eternally, it is said that Lord Krishna never leaves Vrindavan (vrindavanam parityajya padam ekam na gacchati).

Govardhana hillGovardhana is a famous and Holy Hill near Vr-

indavan. The very old hill is also famous for its 21 kilometer long Parikrama. The town also houses Manasi-Ganga, a close ended lake. This is another pious place for the devotees visiting this town. One of the most important days in Goverdhan is Guru

Poornima (Also called "Mudia Poono"). On this day, Millions of devotees come to Goverdhan for parikrama.

Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali. It is the day Lord Krishna defeated Indra, the deity of thunder and rain. Krishna saw huge preparations for the annual offering to Lord Indra and questions his father Nanda about it. He debated with the villag-ers about what their 'dharma' truly was. They were farmers; they should do their duty and concentrate on farming and protection of their cattle. He contin-ued to say that all human beings should merely do their 'karma', to the best of their ability and not pray or conduct sacrifices for natural phenomenon. The villagers were convinced by Krishna, and did not proceed with the special puja (prayer). Indra was then angered, and flooded the village. Krishna then lifted the Govardhan hill and held it up as protection to his people and cattle from the rain. Indra finally accepted defeat and recognized Krishna as supreme

LegandarySignificance of MathuraThe history of Mathura dates back to 'Treta-Yuga

in which Shatrughana, the younger brother of Lord Shri Rama, killed a demon named Lavana and estab-lished a town called 'Madhura'. 'Madhura came to be known as Mathura over time, where Shri Krishna would manifest Himself in the prison cell of the ty-rant king Kamsa.

Archeologist’s ViewsAncient relics found in Katra Keshavadeva and the

researches of foreign and Indian scholars indicate that numerous grand and magnificient temples were constructed here from time to time. It is certain that an earlier shrine or series of shrines, on the same site and under the same dedication, had been famous for many ages. But, while most of them were destroyed by the ravages of time, the rest were ruined by the onslaughts of invaders. Not even a single temple

could be saved.Construction of First templeAccording to the epics and folklore prevailing in

the local area, the first temple was constructed on this spot by Vajranabha, the great grandson of Lord Shri Krishna, in memory of his family deity. A stone inscription in Brahmi script shows that in the reign of Shodasa, an individual named Vasu had a temple, an arched doorway and an altar constructed at the birthplace of Shri Krishna.

The Second TempleThe next big temple was constructed here during

the reign of Gupta Emperor, Chandragupta Vikra-maditya. Mathura was then a flourishing city, where Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism were held in high esteem. Close to the site of Janmasthan, Buddha Viharas and Jain temples were also in existence. From the remains of these, it has been established that the followers of Buddhism and Jainism had great regard for the birthplace of Lord Krishna. In 1017 A.D., the magnificent temple that had been built by Emperor Chandragupta Vikramaditya, was destroyed by Mahmud Ghaznavi. After seeing the temple for himself, the Sultan Mahmud said that if any one wished to construct a building equal to it, he would not be able to do so without spending a hundred million dinars, and the work would occupy two hundred years, even though the most able and experienced workmen were employed.

The Third TempleA Sanskrit inscription incised on a stone slab was

found in Katra Keshavadeva, which mentions that in Vikrama Samvat 1207 (1150 A.D.), when Maha-

raja Vijayapal Deva was the ruler of Mathura, an individual by the name of Jajja constructed a new temple on the site of Shri Krishna’s birthplace.

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to Mathura and bathed at the Vishraam Teertha. Then he prayed and paid obeisance to the Lord at the Keshavadeva temple at Shri Krishna’s birthplace. Imbued with his love for Lord Shri Krishna, Shri Chaitanya Ma-haprabhu began to dance, sing and cry out the name of the Lord. People were mesmerised by his acts of divine love and began to chant ”Hari-Hari” along with him. The priest of the Keshavadeva temple gar-landed Shri Chaitanya. Shri Chaitanya returned to Mathura after a visit to Gokul and paid obeisance to the Lord at His birthplace. He stayed at the house of the priest.

The Fourth TempleAbout 125 years later, Raja Veer Singh Deva Bun-

dela of Orchha constructed another magnificent temple (about 250 feet high) on the sacred spot at a cost of Rs. 33 Lakhs. A fortified boundary wall was also erected around it. A part of this wall exists even now. In the south-eastern corner of the compound, a large well with a tall tower was built up. The water of that well was lifted to a height of about 50 feet and was used to feed the fountains in the quadrangle of the temple. The well and the tower are extant to-day.

From the descriptions of the Italian traveller, Ma-nuchi, it is clear that the gold canopied top of the temple could be seen even from Agra, which is at a distance of 18 Kosas (54 Kilometres). When lamps were lit on the Deepavalinight, the light could be easily seen by the Emperor from Agra. Manuchi stayed in India for a long time and had the opportu-nity to see the temple several times.

The great temple of Keshava Rai at Mathura was built by Bir Singh Deo Bundela (during Jahangir’s time) at a cost of thirty-three lakhs of rupees. The Dehra of Keshava Rai was one of the most magnifi-cent temples ever built in India and enjoyed venera-tion of the Hindus throughout the land. Alberuni also states that this temple was approximately 20 times larger than the largest mosque he ever saw in his life. Prince Dara Shukoh, Son of Jehangir, who was

BharathDharshan

`mcX ZÀi\w


looked upon by the masses as the future Emperor, had presented a carved stone railing to the temple which was installed in front of the deity at some dis-tance; the devotees stood outside this railing to have darshan of Keshava Rai.

During British RuleIn 1803, the Mathura region came under British

rule. In 1815, the East India Company auctioned the area of Katra Keshavadeva, which was purchased by the then Raja Patnimal of Banaras. It was the earnest desire of Raja Patnimal that the Lord Kes-havadeva temple should be rebuilt on the site of His birth. But his wish could not be fulfilled. His fam-ily heirs, however continued to have the ownership rights over Katra Keshavadeva.

Revival of JanmasthanThe Late Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Mala-

viya felt utterly distressed to see the miserable con-dition of this historical and sacred site. He started making plans for restoration of the shrine. With fi-nancial assistance from the Late Seth Jugal Kishore-ji Birla, Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya acquired the entire land from Raj Krishna Das on 7th February, 1944 at a small sum of Rs. 13,000/-. This amount does not account for the real value of the sacred land, but the expenses incurred for fighting the case at various levels by Late Shri Kailash Nath Kataju. After these cases were won, Shri Madan Mohan Chaturvedi of Mathura made commendable efforts in restoring this sacred land to its rightful owner, Raj Krishna Das. However, Malaviyaji could not fulfill his wish during his life time. Before his death, he expressed touching sentiments and a strong desire

for early completion of Lord Shri Krishna’s memo-rial at the place of his birth.

In order to fulfill the last wishes of the Late Mala-viyaji, the Late Seth Jugal Kishorji Birla, on Febru-ary 21, 1951, constituted a trust named ’Shri Krishna Janma Bhoomi Trust’ and acquired the ownership rights over Katra Keshavadeva. Subsequently, the Trust was registered as a society, 'Shri Krishna Jan-masthan Seva Sansthan.’ On observing the earnest devotion of Shri Jaidayalji Dalmia towards Lord Krishna and the sacred land of Braja, Devout en-trepreneur Shri Jugalkishoreji Birla handed over the responsibility of development and construction of various temples to be carried out in accordance to the magnitude mentioned on the sacred scrip-ture (PURAN) Shri Jaidayalji Dalmia accepted this mammoth endeavor due to his earnest devotion to-wards Lord Shri Krishna and keenness towards Shri Birlaji and committed himself completely through-tout his life. It was due to the tireless efforts of Shri Jaidayalji Dalmia that a glorious initiation of the construction work at the Shri Krishna Janmasthan took place.

Shram DhanUnder the chairmanship of the revered Swami Shri

Akhandananda Saraswati, the then Vice President of the Trust, a group of enthusiastic young volunteers of Mathura started clearing the mounds and filling up the pits through Shram Daan on the auspicious day, 15th October, 1953. Later, the work continued for several years with great perseverence under the leadership of Shri Babulal Bajaj and Shri Phool Chand Khandelwal. Thus began the restoration and contruction of the prison cell and the magnificent Shri Krishna Janmasthan complex, which was com-pleted in February 1982.

The main objective of the Trust is to develop the birthplace of Lord Shri Krishna as a centre of Hindu religion, culture and philosophy, and to publicize and propagate the message of Shrimadbhagavata Gita not only in our own country but also in foreign lands.

Pregnancy and childbirth is one among the miracu-lous and mysterious processes in the entire universe .The spark of a new life is the perception of soul or God or a divine intervention. The period of pregnancy is very important for the fundamental growth of an in-dividual. it requires utmost care, patience and perse-verance. It needs intense thapas and sadhana.

Ayurveda being the most ancient scientific medici-nal system have a significant contribution to pregnancy and infant care. Ayurveda emphasize on the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of pregnant mother.

Ayurvedic tips for pregnant mother• Pregnant women should be cheerful and happy

since the thoughts and moods of the mother influ-ence the foetal growth. Disputes and anger provok-ing thoughts can harm both mother and baby and that should be avoided.

• Personal hygiene is very important for a pregnant woman to avoid infections. Bathing with mild warm water boiled with nalpamara bark and tamarind leaves can alleviate pain and keep skin free of infections

• Regarding diet easily digestible light diets with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables are advisable. Drinking plenty of water help to keep the mothers body hydrated. Over eating meat, pulses, heavy and spicy foods, garlic, onions should be avoided. Eating excess fish can also be harmful since these days fishes are loaded with industrial and metallic contaminants. Fresh water fish in moderate amounts are advisable.

• Looking at stars comets, eclipses etc should be avoided. Avoid UV exposure as much as possible

• A wide range of herbs are mentioned for garbhasthapana(stabilizing pregnancy) and to improve foetal oxygenation .Bala (sida cordifolia) has been proven to improve foetal oxygenation even by modern pharmacodynamics.

• Gokshura(njerinjil) is given boiled with water to improve renal filtration and there by prevent renal dis-eases.

• Pichu with dhanwantharam thaila can alleviate pain and help prevent infections

• In the first trimester jeevaniya drugs like shatavari, vidari etc are advised.

• Herbs like Aswagandha and guduchi are advised to strengthen uterine muscles and for nourishment of the embryo

• Application of sandalwood pulp and lotus paste can help prevent strechmarks. Paste of neem, basil, manjishta and jasmine oil can also be helpful.

• Tulsi tea is advised during pregnancy because of its anti infective and anti spasmodic properties.

• Dinking ginger tea can be helpful in morning sick-ness and anorexia.

• Pregnant women should avoid taking intoxicants like wine alcohol etc.

• Pregnant women should avoid strenuous exercis-es, sleeping during the day and keeping awake late at night.

• According to Ayurvedacharyas pregnant women start to feel longings for special foods due to the sec-ond hridaya or chetana of the new life sparkling inside. This should not be prevented since it can be harmful for the foetus.

• The physical and psychological disturbances of the expectant mother should be taken care of imme-diately.

Masanumasika chikitsa, Pumsavana (special nasal medication to have baby of ones own choice) detailed description of management of delivery and ante natal care can all be seen in the ancient texts like Charaka Samhitha, Susruth Samhitha, Ashtanga Hridaya etc

It is important to note the contributions of the ru-ral and tribal people in pregnancy care and manage-ment. Therapeutic oil massages, warm water bath with boiled leaves of Moringa, Ajamoda etc are help-ful in alleviating aches and inflammation. Dizziness and nausea are managed by oral administration of dhanyaka(coriander) and sugar is very popular in Kerala .

Management during delivery and aftercare are as important as the pregnancy period for the mother to regain her health and physique.

Today we live in an era of sophisticated diagnostic procedures where we can see how the baby moves, breathe and live inside the womb. Advancement of technology had contributed to a great extent in obstet-ric management.

Even though Ayurveda emerged in an era of less tech-nological advancement the management techniques of pregnancy and infant care are still very valuable for every expectant mother.

Samskrita, or Sanskrit as we call it, is the core of

our Bharatiya culture and tradition. This language occupies an exalted position amongst the numerous languages of the world, as it is not just a communica-tion tool but is an entire 'way of life'.

Modern day scholars admit that Sanksrit could be older than 6,000 years at the least. Samskrita is considered to be a 'Devabhasha', the language of the Gods, and even a cursory study reveals why it is so. It is infact made up of the primordial sounds, and is developed systematically to include the natural pro-gressions of sounds as created in the human mouth.

Among the current languages which possess a hoary antiquity like Latin or Greek, Samskrita is the only language which has maintained its structure and vo-cabulary even today as it was in the past. Our sacred Vedas or Shrutis as they are called, which classify as one of the oldest literature of the world are all in Samskrita, as are our various Puranas, Ithihasas, the Upanishads, and other Vedantic and Shastraic texts. We have untold wealth in our treasury of knowledge, all compiled in this most beautiful, pristine and sci-entific language. Samskrita once flourished in our country, not only as the language of royalty, nobles and intellectuals, but was widely spoken in common circles too. There are many pointers to this. It is per-haps more than just a coincidence that our Bharatha was at the pinnacle of glory, power and esteem dur-ing this period. The abundant wealth of knowledge that we can see in the texts handed down to us by our ancestors is a powerful testimony to this. Be it in the field of spirituality, medicine, science and technology, literature, mathematics, arts, the humani-ties, astronomy, astrology or a host of other subjects, our ancestors have left behind a sea of material that stands the test of modern-day scrutiny and analysis. Scholars from various fields all over the world are turning to these very texts to uncover the rich, hid-den knowledge.We can rediscover all this as also pre-serve it for future generations only through the study of Samskrita.

Sir Monier-William in an introduction to his San-

skrit-English Dictionary wrote, “By Sanskrit is meant the learned language of India - the language of its cultured inhabitants, the language of its religion, its literature and science - not by any means a dead lan-guage, but one still spoken and written by educated men by all parts of the country, from Kashmir to Cape Comorin, from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras” .

Samskrita has been greatly applauded as a Mantric language, and yet it is as modern as any language can be, as NASA the most advanced research center in the world has discovered that Sanskrit, the world's oldest spiritual language is the only unambiguous spoken language on the planet. The precise and extremely well defined structure of Sanskrit, offers a number of areas in linguistics research including Computa-tional Linguistics. Scientists have noted that Sanskrit could be used to write programs and communicate with computers, as it’s scientific structure makes it very similar to a machine –level language. Also, Samskrita is the only known language which has a built-in scheme for pronunciation, word formation and grammar. It is lauded as a language of the heart giving expression to many kinds of human emotions. Samskrita is a language for humanity, and the Vedas encompass knowledge in every sphere of human ac-tivity. Many profound principles of human existence are given expression through Sanskrit, and this con-tinues to amaze those who study the language. A Sam-skrita scholar understands the world better than most others. Shanghai has a statue of Sanskrit poet Kalidas on one of its most important streets, something that few Indian cities can boast about.

By studying Sanskrit, other languages can be learnt more easily; this being the language all others bor-row from fractionally. The Sanskrit grammar is re-flected in part in Irish or Greek, Latin or English. Sanskrit has the most comprehensive writings in the world expressed through the Vedas and the Gítá. The Upanishads –translated by William Butler Yeats have given people from all over the world an insight into universal religious feelings for more than one cen-tury now. To know these well expressed simple words

of wisdom in the original is better than dealing with second-hand copies or translations.

Sri Rutger Kortenhorst , a Sanskrit teacher in John Scottus school in Dublin who is also a member of the School of Practical Philosophy and Economic Sciences says, ”Sanskrit is the only language in the world that does not have a short lifespan. It is a nev-er-dying constant”. The reason for the constancy in Sanskrit is that it is completely structured and thought out. It also affords ample room for new words. “This is the most perfect and logical language in the world, the only one that is not named after the people who speak it. Indeed the word itself means, 'perfected lan-guage'", says Warwick Jessup, head of the Sanskrit department at St.James, a British school in the heart of London, which has made Sanskrit a compulsory subject for its junior division because it helps stu-dents grasp maths, science and other languages better. Headmaster Paul Moss says, "Sanskrit is the mother of most Indo-European languages. Sanskrit helps immensely to develop cerebral dexterity through its phonetics. The Devanagari script also aids the devel-opment of better motor skills in the students. In the past 10 years we have realised that it helps students in their overall cognitive development."

The unifying role of Samskrita in our country can-not be over emphasised. Sardar K.M. Panikkar point-ed out, “It is one common inheritance of Bharat. The unity of Bharat will collapse if it breaks away from Sanskrit and the Sanskritic traditions”. Dr. Rajendra Prasad said, “Sanskrit provided perhaps the most important focal point from which emanated cultural and political unity”. K.M. Munshi aptly pointed out that “without Sanskrit Bharat would be nothing but a bundle of linguistic groups”.

The word Samskritam means “polished” or “re-fined” or “sculpted to perfection”, and this language is verily so. It is considered to be the 'mother of all Indian languages', and on an average all Indian lan-guages have about 50-60% Sanskrit words. Sanskrit as a language is based on root syllables and words. Unlike the other languages of the world, every word in Sanskrit is derived from a root. A delightful fea-ture of Samskrita bhaasha is the propounding of great as well as simple philosophical truths through the medium of Subhashitams, which are practical statements, that shed light on various social and cul-tural aspects of daily life in simple, lucid and crisp terms.

If education aims to build up the character of stu-dents and to impart the highest intellect to them, can there be any better language than Sanskrit to teach students. The phonetic system of all our languages is borrowed from Samskrita by tradition. The syntax and grammar is also akin to Samskrita. We are also familiar with mantras, verses in Samskrita and Pau-ranic discourses. Hence it will not be very difficult for an Indian student to learn this sublime language. Mattur and Hosahalli are infact twin-villages near Shimoga in Karnataka, where Samskrita is spoken as a regional language. More than 90% of the popu-lation of these villages knows Samskrita.

There are many efforts being undertaken to restore Samskrita to its once held position of glory. Samskri-ta Bharathi, is one such non-profit organization that is working to bring Samskrita back into the main-stream.They conduct courses, lectures, seminars, de-bates, discourses.etc with the objective of promoting the study of Samskrita language.

The spoken Samskrita camps(Samskrita Samb-haashana Shibirs) conducted by them have helped bring Samskrita into people's homes in short, simple steps. Basically, a person needs about 200-250 words to be able to effectively converse in any language on a simple day-to-day basis. These shibirs provide an opportunity for everyone to learn basic communica-tion skills in Samskrita, and have earned the admira-tion of many.

To enable the large expat Indian population in the Middle-East to benefit from this endeavour, Sam-skrita Bharathi will be coming to our doorsteps soon. In the month of October, a Samskrita Camp will be conducted in Kuwait. This is a golden opportunity for all Bharatiyas to dip into the vast ocean of the treasures we have inherited in the form of the ancient language of Samskrita, endeavouring in the process to regain our position of eminence in the world. To avail this opportunity and for more details, please contact by mail : [email protected]

In the words of Rachel Nez, “Language is the dis-tillation of hundreds, if not thousands of years of experience of a collective.... So when the language disappears you're really throwing away that whole library of knowledge” . Let us all earnestly come to the feet of our mother, Samskrita now and offer our respects by making use of this wonderful opportunity to rediscover our roots and heritage.

Trees bear fruit for others’ sake. Rivers flow for others to use. Cows give milk for all. This body of ours too is meant to serve others.

This is the message Amma, Mata Amrithananda Mayi Devi spreads the world through her each and every action. Amma's life and work is a living example of universal love and service. There is no better method of teaching than first to elevate oneself through intense sadhana and then to live in accordance with the truth of one's realization. After the mission of Sri. Ramakrishan and swami Vive-kananda a century back, it is now Amma's role is vital in the nation's life when we come to know more and more about the magnitude of her work and attainment. Humble Pranams to Amma . Amma's 59th Birthday is celebrating on September 27, 2011 .

Amma shows her life as an ideal example for the Manava Seva- Madhava Seva. This seva Manthra is not for simple utter; Amma teach us how to per-form selfless service to the society. You can see in any of Amma's Projects, people from all around the globe join for the 'Nishkama Karma'. Amma al-ways remind us that ,we can never close our eyes to the world in the name of spirituality. Self-Realization

is the ability to see ourselves in all beings, even while our two eyes are wide open. We should be able to love and serve others, seeing ourselves in them. That is the fulfillment of spiritual practice.

In the stream of selfless service , MAM conducts extensive charitable work including disaster relief, healthcare for the poor, environmental programs, fighting hunger and scholarships for impoverished students, amongst many others. It runs the five-campus university known as Amrita Vishwa Vidyap-eetham, and conducts classes in yoga, meditation and Sanskrit. The Amrita University — that has tie-up with 25 leading American universities, including the Yale, Harvard and Princeton universities. It is one of the seven from Asia in the 16-member consortium of European Union Educational Initiative funded by the European Commission.

Amma's medical institute at Kochi in Kerala , a 1,400-bed huge super specialty medical facility manned by 200 doctors qualified from the best medi-cal institutes all over the world , is ranked as the eighth best professional medical colleges in India.

Beginning with the 2001, the Mata Amritanan-damayi Math has consistently dedicated volunteers and resources in response to disasters within India. Its most extensive disaster-relief program followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. In response, MAM provided a value of $46 million in relief, including the construction of 6,200 tsunami-resistant houses in India and Sri Lanka, as well as 700 new fishing boats. It also constructed a multi-million-dollar bridge providing Alappad Panchayat, a tsunami-at-risk peninsula community, an evacu-ation route to the mainland. MAM has provided a combination of medical care, food, shelter, monetary aid and other forms of relief following the flooding of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in 2009, Bihar in 2008, and Gujarat in 2005 and Bombay in 2005, as well as the Kashmir-Pakistan earthquake of 2005. It also reconstructed 1,200 homes following the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

In connection with its sister organizations all around the world, it also has responded to disasters outside In-dia as well, including medical supplies, blankets and care for orphans following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a donation of $1 million U.S. to the Bush-Clinton Ka-trina Fund, following Hurricane Katrina, and $1 mil-lion U.S. in relief aid to victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, with a focus on children or-phaned in the disaster. Even the Western people were surprised by Amma's these services ; (in their eyes a Bharath is poor). Amma showered the needed for the needy, irrespective of cast, color, religion and nation.

The Sanathana Manthra , 'Lokah Samastha Sughino Bhavanthu:', once again glorifies the globe.

MAM's Amrita SREE program was launched in 2006, with the goal of aiding 100,000 women through the development of 5,000 self-help groups. Now, there are more than 6,000 such groups, with more than 100,000 women participating throughout India. MAM has also set up an additional 1,000 self-help groups in Andaman Island. Through providing vocational education, start-up capital, marketing as-sistance and access to microcredit loans and micro savings accounts, the Amrita SREE program equips unemployed and economically vulnerable women with the skills and means to set up small-scale, cot-tage-industry businesses.

In 1997 MAM launched its Amrita Kuteeram hous-ing program, an initiative to build 25,000 homes for the homeless throughout India. Currently MAM is striving to build another 100,000 homes. At this moment 50,000 such homes have beenalready con-structed. These homes include 1,200 built in order to rebuild three villages following the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and 6,200 built in order to replace homes destroyed by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Amrita Ku-teeram homes have thus far been built in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharash-tra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Pondich-erry, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andaman Island.

MAM runs two care homes for children. Amrita Niketan is a facility for 500 children in Paripally, Kollam, Kerala. The majority of Amrita Niketan residents are from poor tribal communities. In 2009, through a sister organization known as Amma-Kenya, MAM started an orphanage in Nairobi for 108 chil-dren. Also, MAM runs the Amrita Vocational Train-ing Center in Kenya, equipped with 35 computers.

MAM is providing 32,000 scholarships to disad-vantaged children, many of whom have lost a parent due to suicide or have a parent suffering from AIDS Known as Vidyamritam, the scholarship program is currently running in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,

Karnataka and Kerala. It was originally started as part of MAM's campaign to curb India's problem of farmer suicide, by providing children of agricultural families a means to education that will expand their vocational options. It is MAM's stated goal to even-tually provide 100,000 such scholarships throughout India.

MAM started the Amala Bharatam Campaign (ABC) in 2010 in order to improve public health and restore India's physical beauty. Through ABC, MAM volunteers clean public areas, construct public toilets and spread awareness regarding environmen-tally friendly ways of disposing of trash. As part of the Amala Bharatam Campaign (ABC), the Math has decided to observe the fourth Sunday of every month as Cleaning Day with a view to making India litter-free .

If we look at Amma’s life, this is what we see—someone who has offered her every thought, word and deed for the benefit of others. Giving is the es-sence. It’s just that when the homeless come crying for shelter and Amma gives them a house, we call her a “humanitarian.” And when the sorrowful come cry-ing for emotional solace and she gives them love, we call her a “mother.” And when those thirsty for spiri-tual knowledge come earnestly seeking and she gives them wisdom, we call her a “guru.” This attitude of selflessly serving all creation, knowing others to be extensions of one’s own self, Amma refers to as vish-wa matrutvam—universal motherhood. From a poor fishing village in Kerala, Southern India, Amma had grown to Vishwa Matharam. This is the Sanathana Dharmas Sandesham, 'Vasudeaiva Kudumbakam'.

There is currently an imbalance in Dharma and in Nature – we are taking from Nature with reckless abandon and not caring sufficiently for the suffering in the world. How can we restore this balance? This can be done by following our own Dharma and by praying with our hearts and serving with our hands.

Amma's medical institute at Kochi in Kerala , a 1,400-bed huge super specialty medical facility manned by 200 doctors qualified from the best medical institutes all over the world , is ranked as the eighth best professional medical colleges in India. Beginning with the 2001, the Mata Amritanandamayi Math has consistently dedicated volunteers and resources in response to disasters within India. Its most extensive disaster-relief program followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. In response, MAM provided a value of $46 million in relief, including the construction of 6,200 tsunami-resistant houses in India and Sri Lanka, as well as 700 new fishing boats. It also constructed a multimillion-dollar bridge providing Alappad Panchayat, a tsunami-at-risk peninsula community, an evacuation route to the mainland. MAM has provided a combination of medical care, food, shelter, monetary aid and other forms of relief following the flooding of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in 2009, Bihar in 2008, and Gujarat in 2005 and Bombay in 2005, as well as the Kashmir-Pakistan earthquake of 2005. It also reconstructed 1,200 homes following the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

In connection with its sister organizations all around the world, it also has responded to disasters outside India as well, including medical supplies, blankets and care for orphans following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a donation of $1 million U.S. to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, following Hurricane Katrina, and $1 million U.S. in relief aid to victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, with a focus on children orphaned in the disaster. Even the Western people were surprised by Amma's these services ; (in their eyes a Bharath is poor). Amma showered the needed for the needy, irrespective of cast, color, religion and nation. The Sanathana Manthra , 'Lokah Samastha Sughino Bhavanthu:', once again glorifies the globe.

MAM's Amrita SREE program was launched in 2006, with the goal of aiding 100,000 women through the development of 5,000 self-help groups. Now, there are more than 6,000 such groups, with more than 100,000 women participating throughout India. MAM has also set up an additional 1,000 self-help groups in Andaman Island. Through providing vocational education, start-up capital, marketing assistance and access to microcredit loans and micro savings accounts, the Amrita SREE program equips unemployed and economically vulnerable women with the skills and means to set up small-scale, cottage-industry businesses.

In 1997 MAM launched its Amrita Kuteeram housing program, an initiative to build 25,000 homes for the homeless throughout India. Currently MAM is striving to build another 100,000 homes. At this moment 50,000 such homes have beenalready constructed. These homes include 1,200 built in order to rebuild three villages following the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and 6,200 built in order to replace homes destroyed by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Amrita Kuteeram homes have thus far been built in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,

When we consume food in adequate amount, it gives us long life and youthfulness. Inadequate amounts can increases production of toxins which is harmful for life. Food not only nourishes the body, it affects the mind and consciousness as well. Our mental attitude greatly de-pends on the food we eat on a daily basis. There is a con-nection between how we are EATING and how we are ACTING. One can find out the nature or temperament of a man from the nature of the food he prefers. Having right food is the initial step towards achieving healthy life. But just having right food is not enough. Right combination and proportion of food is also important for an individual. Since ancient times, we classify every life activity, habit, food, medicine and state of mind into three categories (satvic, rajassic and tamassic) based on their effect on the mind, body, and emotions. Food we eat can be catego-rized as either satvic, rajassic or tamassic according to its character and effect upon the body and the mind. Satvic foods support satva; they help the mind become clear and stay focused. They promote energy and health; they also promote pleasure and happiness.Rajasic foods have the quality of stimulation and activating body systems. These foods energize the nervous system, yet without the clarity of awareness provided by Satvic foods. Tamasic foods in-crease inner darkness and confusion. They slow us down, depress us and enhance inertia.

"Satvic" foods encourage a harmonious yet creative lifestyle where a person's awareness level is raised such that he could enjoy the complete range of human emo-tions, yet stay detached from them. These are clean burn-ing foods that leave little to no residue on the nervous system. Such foods include fresh fruit and vegetables, le-gumes and beans, wholesome unrefined grains, and fresh raw cow's milk.

Rajasic foods, due to their high stimulant quality tend to push people who consume them to doing deeds beyond their normal capacity; they include foods such as coffee, tea, spicy foods, rich sauces, sweets, etc. Stressful and quick eating is also termed rajasic. In ancient times rajasic foods were always of good quality and freshness, hence the origin of the word "raja" - kingly, or fit for a king. Such foods encourage aggression and domination - king-ly qualities then, though strangely also required in today's demanding world of competition and targets.

"Tamasic" foods lead one to a state of inertness and

dullness. These are known as the "dead" foods which con-tain no vitality or life. These foods are heavy and sluggish and may cause irritability and restlessness. The endurance of one's energy is very short when eating such foods, the most dramatic illustration is that of the tiger and elephant. A tiger mainly eats tamasic foods and can fight for 3-4 hours. The elephant, a vegetarian, eats mainly sattvic foods and can fight for 3-4 days. Alertness and concen-tration is very difficult soon after eating tamasic foods. Today's foods that could be classified as tamasic would include those with heavy preservatives and artificial addi-tives which may serve as an irritant when ingested, most meats, thick heavy oily foods and low-grade alcoholic drinks. Overcooked and food consumed after more than 8 hours since being cooked are also termed tamasic.

The state of foods is also classified this way. Freshly plucked fruits and vegetables are Satvic, a few hours on any supermarket or grocers's shelf make them Rajassic and when they wilt and dry, they then take on Tamsic qualities.

The basic nature of the mind is creative or Satvic, with just enough Rajas and Tamas to bring desires to fruition. So the food we take should be a mix of satvic,rajasic and tamassic. That means the base of our diet should consist of satvic foods like fresh or freshly prepared grains, veg-etables and fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, milk, ghee and butter in moderation, cold pressed oils and natural sweeteners. We need just a small amount of rajasic foods to stimu-late creativity and outward motion. Tamasic food can be helpful when an excess of rajas is present. If the mind is hyper and ungrounded – some tamasic food can be eaten to promote stability.
