The real story behind this Gurukul topic-

A heartfelt encounter with a parent from our community left a profound impact on me. They shared the story of their 16-year-old special child, who requires constant care and cannot function independently. With aging parents, they grappled with the weighty concern of ensuring their child’s well-being and financial security after their passing. This poignant moment spurred me to delve deeper into the realm of finance, recognizing its role as a fundamental life skill often overlooked.

Guiding them through a holistic perspective on financial planning, I witnessed a transformation in their outlook. It dawned on me that economic wisdom goes beyond spreadsheets and investments; it’s a tool for safeguarding our loved ones’ futures. Another instance etched itself into my consciousness – a 55-year-old community member, once deeply entrenched in the IT world, found himself abruptly laid off. His financial stability shattered, and his responsibility to provide for his daughters’ future loomed large. In this moment of crisis, we stepped in, weaving a plan that offered hope and security.

These encounters, with their stories of illusion shattered by life’s realities, underscored the urgent need for a paradigm shift in financial planning. Media-driven illusions often cloud our judgment, pushing us into uncharted territory. The realization that well-intentioned plans can go awry hit home. From these poignant experiences, the seeds of a transformative workshop were sown – a workshop designed to empower our community, to debunk myths, to teach the true essence of financial security, and to foster holistic growth. Together, we embark on this journey to unlock financial wisdom that transcends illusion, leading us toward a future of genuine prosperity and well-being.

Testimonial from this parent –

“In the embrace of uncertainty, where our special child’s future felt fragile, our community emerged as a beacon of hope. The financial planning guidance by Anna became a lifeline, illuminating a path we never thought possible.
Through his guidance, we not only learned to navigate finances, but uncovered a profound way to safeguard our child’s journey. Armed with a solid plan, we face tomorrow with renewed strength, knowing our child will thrive long after we’re gone. His support reached deeper than numbers; it was a heartwarming gesture that whispered, ‘We’re here for you.’ Today, we’re resilient, fortified by the assurance of a secure future. This transformation is our community’s gift, and we’re forever grateful.”

D.E.A.R – 5 Days of Meditation – Batch 4

Drop Everything And Recharge with Velu Jayaprakash

23rd October – 27th October 2023

Register Now

The most demanded need of our community ever since we started the WhatsApp Groups is – MEDITATION . Almost everyone I have met in person or online, everyone wants to learn & practice it. I did not take this seriously initially, as I believe, if we do not have a proper body, it is hard to even sit for that long.

I have spent many years in the community trying to make the shift in all our lifestyles with holistic and home remedies to help with all common ailments. But I realize the battle with food is an ongoing one. As we research more and more and help people to come out of this toxic food, the mafia itself is transforming at greater speed with the media to make it even more challenging.

Additionally, pandemic and lockdown created too many psychological issues in everyone’s mind that it might take generations to recover. Over a decade, as a community, I strongly now believe that many of our parents here are now ready with the shift we have already implemented in our lifestyle .

The time has finally come to start sharing this wisdom with all of you . My intuition has given a green signal to go ahead! I have learnt and practiced various types of meditations from various gurus, self taught teachers and many masters. But everything I found is not a direct approach, I felt there is some hidden agenda or some catch or some drawback in every process that I have followed. Over my years of practice I have refined a few methods with the help of some real Siddhas, who are not in Social Media or on the Internet to arrive finally to one of the best ones.

I have followed it for years and it these methods does not require any prerequisites. When we stop doing those fancy meditations, we are back to square one, the same monkey mind will wake up. But what you are going to learn now is something that will transform your life and even if you stop it(which you might not). In case you did, you will stay at that elevated level for a long time.

So here we are with D.E.A.R -Drop Everything And Recharge ! On these 21 days, I will be guiding you step by step daily on how to MEDITATE. You might wonder if you can sit for an hour and meditate ??? Then get ready to discover yourself !!!. I will guide and meditate along with you and expand my Pranamaya Kosha to accommodate you all. I don’t have to be in person to make you all feel the experience. You will feel it wherever you are in the world.

Who can enroll?

🚩 One who wishes to learn meditation and don’t know where/how to start.
🚩 One who believes that they can spend 1hr out of 24hrs for their own wellness which may have multi folded results in all aspects(with their past, previous, present or future lives)
🚩 One who finds the only one reason to join and NOT give 100s of excuses.
🚩 One who can commit to attend regularly on time and practice sincerely.

Enroll only if you agree to these conditions

🚩 Daily you will be up and ready by 4.45 AM IST. Join the session daily before 4.55AM IST. Post 5.05AM IST entries will not be allowed. Kindly respect everyone’s time and efforts.
🚩 You should be MUTE in Audio, UNMUTE in Video. YOU can also MUTE other senses too :).
🚩 NO Discussions, directly dive into the ocean of meditation. You listen to my voice and follow what I say for the next 1 hour. If you want to go for natural urges, leave quietly and come back without much delay.
🚩 NO recording allowed nor will we be sharing any recorded files. As this is heavily customized as per that particular day. I will refine various things to various people based on the need and as a channel. So there is no benefit you get from recordings.

Few Feedbacks received from Batch 1 members

“60 minutes to a better you” is the simplest way to describe this program. I had tried meditation before but couldn’t sit more than 10 minutes due to neck stiffness. Under Velu Anna’s guidance I have been able to sit through the whole hour with ease. The guidelines are practical and easy to follow. These 21 days have made me a calmer person. So if you wish to improve yourself this is surely the path. Thank you Velu anna and the HLP team for this opportunity!

Aruna

This the most practical introduction to meditation that I’ve had. Though I missed couple of sessions I’m happy I completed. At least 3 different people have told me that I’m glowing. From feedback perspective I feel in the initial sessions there were many comments on correcting people’s postures etc. I feel this could have been shared individually without affecting the flow of the meditation. Of course I leave it to the team to find the best way possible. Otherwise it was a great experience. Never seen so many 5ams continously in my life before. I wish to continue practicing.

Priya Thej

Was part of this beautiful 21 day journey. It brings in calmness, peace with one self. I wasnt sure if i could sit for 1 hour in meditation but it was totally possible with Velu’s guided meditation even from day1. Throughout the day had meditative effect, could resent to sit for meditation anytime. Thank you so much Velu anna for sharing this meditation process. You are such a wonderful soul.

Being a person with zero idea about meditation, these 21 days of D.E.A.R have taken me on an incredible journey. It brought a new and unique experience every day. There’s still a long way to go, and I’m enjoying my baby steps towards a wonderful journey to my inner self.

5th Year Celebration of our Holistic Whatsapp Group – Awards

its 5 years, its time to share our gratitude to those noble souls who build this community with their bare hands.

When you start something new from regular life, call it a startup or group or passion. The first thing that you face is criticism, you have to walk the path alone, until you reach a milestone. At this junction you will attract more like minded people, then magic happens, the efforts proliferate from here.

In the last 5 years, countless parents, dr, healers did their little things to unmeasurable things to keep the community alive either by take up a task, or connecting us to right dot or motivating us or sharing their resources. It is time to go back in time and find those lovely souls, who deserves a big applause. Now is the time to say You are awesome!

It does not matter if they delivered or not, because, we believe in ancient script that says not to look for results. But we would like to appreciate their sincere efforts.

What are the areas we should improve in the group?

Reducing Home Remedy questions
Suggestion of good experienced knowledgeable doctors, healers etc across India.
I consider myself a learner thus will not be able to comment on this question. Kindly excuse.
Nothing, as of now.
We need to see if we can store these amazing information so we here other than just whatsapp messages because it gets lost. Akso nee parents don’t have access to previous messages. Just classifying and putting these messages in somewhere like Google docs or blog would be surely helpful
Website , infornation passing to the group
Should inform d parents to look into remedies already there in website before posting, n we need Sunday gap
Just joined the group so can’t suggest. It seems to be good now. May be the rest of the 3 whites be addressed and the products be our in the site soon.
More ways/ methods to adopt to protect oneself from negative vibes, how to get rid of black magic, training on parenting.
Avoid repetitive queries
Need age appropriate group for adolescent children.
More information needs to be updated on the site so that repetitive questions can be avoided and we can use those information without interrupting the group unnecessarily…
I like the group and giving the response to people in need is great. Thank you so much for taking time and educating. So much effort and good heart. God bless you all.
There is already a plethora of information exchanged regularly.So, I am happy with the way the group in functioning.
In my point of view, we are sailing in the correct path of finding the ancient widom in the holistic way.
Nothing i can think of
The group is becoming more like a remedy helpline, which is corrected to a great extent..but grouping parents as per kids age category with few worthwhile admins would tackle the case…my opinion
Nothing much
May be more webinars of knowledge sharing.
Please make the website more user friendly. It is a little difficult to find relevant articles in the website.
NA-i am new to the group
Areas of healthy body mind and soul.How to obtain the same.
I think I ppl covered each n everything
Nothing as yet
I want this group to continue the good work. Thank you
Some questions which parents ask are unattended sometimes. And they keep a remainder saying plz respond to my query which I asked yesterday…I’m very sure that we all are busy.. But at end of day we should make sure there are no unattended queries..
none so far
I won’t say improvements just a suggestion we should get Community Store products whenever we want instead of only 5 days. This will help us to use more of natural products.
Food recipes I guess
To early for me too answer as I am a new parent recently joined the community… but going forward will keep sharing my views on areas of improvement… if felt the need so for any particular issue.
Not mature enough to suggest such holistic group.
Answer queries of inactive parents like me. I do not respond but read all the conversations.
Nothing in specific.
it will be better if the group provides weekly bulletin of health
Find a solution to send the healthy foods and medicines outside India also, so that the numerous helpless Indians who are living without any support to live a traditional Indian life can also get the benefits.
Right now, can’t think of any.
As this is a diverse group, I think everybody is doing their best.
Availability of products in site
Other than always discussing about remedies for few illness, it would be useful for us if you share many ancient practices. This group has many gurus who have lot of knowledge in holistic and ancient things… so would like to hear many things from you all and enlighten ourselves and guide our kids in right path.
Child Development and Care
More webinars…
Its improving gradually in a positive way. Nothing as such.
Too early for me to comment. But maybe taking backup of previous discussions and posting it online for all community members to access (like an archive) will help a lot of new members and maybe reduce repeat questions. Also an app for the website would be great to easily browse blogs etc. on phone.
Having not been around for very long I trust the direction is in good hands.
When new members are added attach the Swarnaprashana blog address, so it might avoid repeated question regarding remedies. Weekly choose a topic for healthy discussion.
Lengthy conversation thread
Group is doing great..
Focused topics can be discussed on particular days,regular introduction of people and what they do.
Spoc on case of emergency or for certain areas
Improvising and adding more products .. which u are already doing so it’s natural that group shall improve
I am new. Should take sometime to provide any improvement areas.
If any topic is discussed in detail,then it would help if you put the update on the blog so everyone can refer it. Sometimes it is difficult to go back and search in whatsapp.
More approachable to new parents …feel lost at times
NA,iam very new to this group..just joined 1 week back
Making one page with all items and easy to order
Maybe a monthly periodic email summarizing all the important discussions will be better.
To keep the group more focused, connected and dedicated .
Collating all the information.
Pregnancy and post delivery
As I m very new to the group, I don’t think something is missing here. I m satisfied alot with the areas you have been covering here.
Every month one topic should be discussed as topic of the month….and we should have some experts discussing it….it can be notified before hand so that those who have any queries they can put it forward
Tracking payments of swp
Not required .. it is the best .. and topics come random as per need which are best answered.. also to organise the meetings in north region
As per my knowledge I am very satisfied with what group is going on.
Website to include discussion of common remedies in whats app group…it has been done partially, but sometimes when needed we cannot recollect chat and cannot find the same in website
Sometimes the topics are re discussed many times.
Feedback be given for products bought
As of now nothing..
Ignoring questions from people in need, importance of day to day ancient practices
Team is doing the great in improving our lives.cant ask for anything more but SAY THANK YOU
Liking it this way
repetition of queries should be avoided
As u have mentioned the remedies for cold n cough..please separate for child and adults as it gets confusing about the dosage.secondly if you could take money yearly for swp.
Nothing as such now as most of things/current issues are covered.
all herbs r not available …try to help with familiar herbs
Sharing the knowledge mostly via site. If possible why can’t we publish a newsletter say monthly for a beginning. It can include a short study or personal experience, feedbacks, who is who (behind the screens), can keep a quiz (tracking answers might be a nice issue). We can include so many good articles too.
Documenting all the practices
Nothing according to me.
To record the sessions that happen so that the parents who missed it can be benefitted
Not focusing on same things repeatedly
It’s perfect for me.
Right now doing good
N
I think everything is going well
This group is beyond my expectations. I’m still in learning curve . Would like to grow with the group and explore and go hand-in-hand.

Coriander Plant – Ancient Herb #3

Start the herbal garden to protect your family, environment and above all, kids at home inculcate the good practice to plan tress and also pass on the ancient wisdom to this life saving herb.

By Franz Eugen Köhler, Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen – List of Koehler Images, Public Domain, Link

Coriander is one of the ancient herbs in treating many ailments like obesity, menstrual issues, controlling kaba and many more.

Planting

It can be planted on water bottles with the top lid up to the neck cut off, small baby bath tubs which give more yields, flower pots
(this is the last option).

Seeds

Coriander seeds are easily available in most of the organic stores. Make sure it is native variety, not hybrid or GM seeds. You can also get in touch with  HLP.Store  for seeds.

Sowing

Sowing coriander seeds should be done in a even manner as harvesting and watering becomes difficult I’d the seeds and sowed dense in a single place. Better to draw line like markings in the soil and sow the seeds evenly in every row giving space between each row.

Soil

Porous soil is best suited for coriander. Make sure the u can stick ur finger inside it. Tats the porous consistency. A mix of coding and vermicompost is an added advantage.

Watering

Use sprayes for watering and the stem is very fragile and too much watering is not gud for the plant. All it needs it is wetness.

Duration

5 weeks

Important note: Use of scrap water bottles, scrap tubs trays are the best as coriander has very small root so it doesn’t need a shallow pot. I prefer hanging them by kitchen window to get a cilantro breeze inside the kitchen and hanging these greens is the best way to save space.
