Akanda Jyoti - Our ever burning lamp is herewith offered to all the Rishis known and identified and those not known. Vedic wisdom has been passed down through many great sages who were free from the bindings of this world. Their minds were connected to the inifine ocean of wisdom within, their light will radiate for all eternity. With eternal gratitude we keep this lamp burning in their honor.

Ayurveda
Ayurveda (Devanagari: आयुर्वेद ) or ayurvedic medicine is a form of alternative medicine in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of āyus "life" and veda "knowledge", and would roughly translate as the "Science of Life". Ayurveda deals with the measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery.

  Panchakarma
In sanskrit, “Pancha” means five and “Karma” means deeds or procedures. It is all-inclusive system of awareness and practices to sanitize the body of toxins and restore it to stabilize with natural law. These five curative means of getting rid of toxins from the body are Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamoskshana. This series of five therapies help eliminate deep-rooted pressure and disease causing toxins from the body while harmonizing the doshas.

Bhu Mata
The ancient Vedic sages viewed the Earth[Bhu Matha - Mother Earth] as a divine goddess, a being who had feelings and consciousness, and who responded to our prayers and actions. The sages sang beautiful hymns of gratitude to Mother Earth, wished her peace in rhythmic peace prayers, and also performed elaborate fire ceremonies for her peace and happiness.
Eternal Truth
Jyotish
Jyotisha (jyotiṣa, in Hindi and English usage Jyotish) is the Hindu system of astrology, one of the six disciplines of Vedanta, and regarded as one of the oldest schools of ancient astrology to have had an independent origin, affecting all other schools in and around India. The Sanskrit word derives from jyótis (disjointed as "Ja"+"Ya"+"O"+"T"+"ish" to get the root meaning as "water or birth"+"in addition to" + "earth" and "stars" + "knowledgeable" equating as one who is knowledgeable, or enlightened with knowledge, of birth, fate, and relationship to water, earth and stars) or which means "light, brightness", but in the plural also "the heavenly bodies, planets and stars".

Beware of the Nightshades by Vaidya Mishra


In an earlier article I presented a strong case against Garlic. I consistently restrict people from Onion, Garlic, Soy and Nightshades. Many of you have argued (especially those new to Shudh Ayurved) What else can one eat if we stop eating all of the aforementioned foods? No worries, there are foods that are Pranic, less toxic and certainly more medicinal. But I want to highlight the Bad foods - The Awful Nightshades.


What are the Nightshades?

   - Potatoes
   - Tomatoes
   - Tobacco
   - Chilli Peppers
   - Green Bell Peppers
   - Egg Plant
   - Belladonna
   - Mandrake
   - And a whole genetical family of Nightshades..

While there are groups of people who absolutely cannot stand nightshades, Ayurvedically it is good to generally avoid them. People with Arthritis, Eczema, Acid Reflux Disease, Cystitis, Lupus, and Psoriasis are always at risk with Nightshades.


Quick facts

   - All Nightshades contain some form of Nicotine

            - Solanine in Potatoes
            - Tomatine in Tomatoes
            - Aubergine or Alpha-Solanine in Chilli peppers and Bell peppers.

- Historically Tomatoes were known as 'Wolf Peach' referring to werewolves and witchcraft (Tamasik anyone?)
- In early America, all nightshades were considered poisonous, however once known not to kill immediately, it slowly became part of the regular diet.
- Livestock Poisoning is done through Nightshades leaves.
- YES THEY ARE ADDICTIVE (All nightshades have some form of Nicotine in them).*
- Nicotine is a Great Insecticide.


What does Nicotine Do?

Nicotine is a Major Nerve impulse Inhibitor (Acetylcholinestrase Inhibitor).
The chemical Acetylcholinestrase transmits nerve impulse from one nerve ending to the next - Brain Function. Nicotine slows the production of this chemical which eventually gangs up due to the slowed breaking down process (Think of a broken Gramophone Pin). So while I prescribe cutting down on Nightshades all of us have craving for More.
