New Moon Meditation

Through D.E.A.R meditation, we all experienced the benefits of meditating daily and how it helped us physically, mentally and spiritually. Also this simple daily routine, opened our eyes on how fit/unfit our body and mind are!

Butterfly Meditation

Meditation is the fuel to our soul. It is the beginning and the end of what we are. It is not an option or a chance, but “the perfect solution” to progress in this journey of life.

Just like we must be careful and choosy about the food that strengthens our body, we must be equally watchful of our thoughts entering our mind. In this fast paced life, it’s easy to get drowned in chaos and confusion. The only solution to wriggle out of this is meditation.

Be it season, food, or mood, we easily get bored with single option. Variety is the spice of life. It is important to learn few methods so that we implement them according to our needs, apart from refreshing our mind. That’s why our ancestors followed and guided us various techniques for generations.

I have been learning meditation from the age of 13. After learning from n number of gurus, teachers, books, etc., I lost (invested) my life and future in this. I’m sharing only those methods that I learnt from my experience and intuition. If you practice, you will see noticeable changes in you.

We started with highly successful first method – D.E.A.R Meditation which focused on chakras to expand our body to 4th layer – intellectual body. This is an ideal method that helps in balancing day to day family life and keep you spiritually centered. We finished two batches successfully in May and June. You can read the feedback here in comment section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEAc0abByNk&t

It’s time to take the next step and elevate your experience with an advanced technique that will make you go deeper. Since the process is little complex, we will learn it part by part and then assemble it together at the end. Then you can practice it on your own. Depending on the participation, we can come up with group meditation. This method is for spiritual minded person.

We are opening the doors of opportunity to everyone, irrespective of physical distance. The offline session will be conducted in Bangalore on 24th (9 AM – 5 PM). Online session will be conducted for those who reside in other town/country on 30th and 31st(9AM -12PM). There will not be any recording provided as its purely experiential session and practice. The methodology you learn will be different for online and offline. Path is different but goal is same. So choose your option.

Lets get ready for an energy transformation and fly like a butterfly in your mind!

Whole Black Urad Dal Laddoos

Healthify your snacks!

When I tried Homemade Sathu Maavu laddoos and shared with my friends and family, I got more requests, motivation and confidence to try other varieties of laddoos. No one cannot say no to these healthy laddoos right? 🙂

This time I tried with Unpolished Whole Urad Dal which I bought from the monthly grocery shopping from HLP Store. We all know how Black Urad helps all the women to strengthen their hip region. This is one of the best dishes for the young girls who are nearing / just attained / started puberty.

Also it can be considered as the ultimate post-workout laddoo for the health conscious people! It has the right amount of minerals, energy for your body!

Here is the recipe I followed for making these yummy and healthy laddoos.

INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

  • In a pan, dry roast urad dal until it turns crispy, on a low flame without burning.
  • After it turns crispy, cool down and make fine powder in mixer along with jaggery powder & cardamom powder.
  • If you like the crunchy texture, coarsely grind the urad dal. For kids, it’s better to make it fine powder.
  • Add ghee and check the consistency. You should be able to hold the laddoo shape when you roll it with hands.
  • You can also coarsely grinded dry roasted cashews to get the nutty flavor or add the crushed ones.
  • Roll them into laddus and store them in an air tight container.

Healthy Sathumaavu Laddoos

We started using Sathu maavu at our home when my grandma was feeling weak and fatigued. At the same time my sister also delivered a baby, and she was in search for food items that can give her better strength & health.

As preparing of this mavvu/powder at home itself from scratch is time consuming process (sprouting, drying, roasting and powdering), my mom started to use a store-bought famous brand. But we were not satisfied as it increased our body weight.

So, we started to make our own powder at home, and it was super food for babies & adults. As days passed, we couldn’t prepare it due to daily workload, unavailability of people and arranging good quality ingredients.

After I joined HLP community, I understood the importance of avoiding 5 whites and wanted to replace milk at home. I was eagerly waiting for this product in HLP Store, as it is the one place, we could buy trusted products.

 I started to make kanji with this sattu mavvu. Sometimes I add ginger, jeera, onions, and fresh coriander leaves and it would be my first drink in the morning after having water on empty stomach. If you have 1 glass of this kanji, you will not feel hungry or fatigue until lunch. Unfortunately, my kids and husband are not very fond of this health mix.

But I wasn’t ready to compromise on their health. Being a mother, you need to learn tweaking healthy foods into whole family’s diet, understanding their taste buds and body needs too. I made laddoos out of it so that they can also enjoy Satthu as healthy snacks.

Heartful gratitude to HLP World Store for bringing this product for us. Hope all start to reap the benefits of this wonderful product.

Sharing the recipe, I followed for making the delicious laddoos. Hope you all try this and share the feedback.

INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

  • Dry roast the Sathu Maavu Mix for 2-3 minutes in low flame. Make sure not to over-roast/burn it.
  • Transfer to mixing bowl and allow it to cool.
  • Chop the deseeded dates, coarsely grind the nuts, jaggery and ghee.
  • Add to the roasted powder and mix well.
  • Roll them into laddus and store them in an air tight container.

TIPS

  • If you use jaggery syrup, make sure you finish the dish in 15 days.
  • If you use dry jaggery powder, the shelf life is more.
  • Add a pinch of Himalayan salt to enhance sweet taste.
  • Adjust ghee as per your needs
  • You can add your own creative culinary ideas, like you can add  dry rose petals.

Art of Removing Drishti

Gurukul by Velu Jayaprakash

@Bangalore & @Online – Live Streaming

Drishti or Evil eye or Buri Nazar or Malocchio is something from which we must protect ourselves and the family. Almost all religions around the globe believe this phenomenon. As the name suggests, unprecedented or unpleasant events occur in our lives out of the blue with no possible reasoning when we are affected by the evil eye. A drishti or an eye-cast is the outcome of someone feeling jealousy or envy towards us; the consequences of these negative vibrations are generally substantial, and our life’s momentum is disturbed from its natural and smooth progress.

Drishti creates a block in our life, and sometimes its worse effects are felt in all spheres of life. It is not only the people who are impacted by Drishti, but our business, house or food also faces the severity.

A few consequences of Drishti or Evil Eye can be:

  • Sudden illness
  • Unnecessary or unexpected expenses
  • Disruption of peace at home and workplace
  • Babies cry continuously
  • And the list goes on…

This one day, Gurukul is aimed at learning the ancient ways to remove evil eyes and shield ourselves.

This workshop cover:

  • Making of Drishti shield
  • Various types of Drishti
  • Who and when to remove it.
  • Special Mantra to detox evil eyes

Jaggery and the ancient wisdom behind it

Which one is more appealing White, Brown or Copper brown? Does Jaggery help in reducing Phlegm?

It is observed that when there is a problem with phlegm there appears a severe decrease of Phosphorus in the body. Whenever you experience phlegm first understand the body is lacking phosphorous. Phosphorous has a relative Arsenic. If Arsenic is not there still good as it’s a deadly poison. But when it is present in minute amount this gives strength to phosphorus as its complementary.

In olden days when people were seen suffering from phlegm they were advised to have Jaggery. Jaggery has more Phosphorus than sugar with minute amount of Arsenic which helps in easy absorption. As you all know that jaggery is made from sugar cane juice which also has Phosphorus but being in concentrated form its more and the quality of phosphorus is better in Jaggery compared to sugarcane and is easily digestible and even be given to one day old baby too. So make the habit of eating jaggery to keep the phlegm at bay.

Now question arises, which jaggery to use really as market is flooded with so many options?

In markets generally we found white, brown and copper brown. You need to understand that the more the white jaggery is the more poisonous it is .I remember 10 years back while I was making the payasam(kheer) or porridge my maid said not to use the white version as they add 1 bucket of lime to make the jaggery look white and more appealing it seems and that naturally explained how it spoiled the milk payasam.

Since Britishers invaded India we want everything in white including our food. It is said in nature whatever is more white is not considered healthy and need to be avoided probably that’s why few of you avoid the 5 whites. For example the buffalo milk is not compatible for normal people and its intended for Pahalwans and body builders whereas for us we need to use cow’s milk which is usually yellow in color.

So you have seen that sugar cane juice is not white color and its kind of green in color so how does the white color come from? The white color of the jaggery is from lime. Hence understand that white jaggery is very unhealthy. Now the question is which is the best to use then? Please be informed that the natural color of jaggery is copper color or chocolate colored one. Once the demand ceases the production of white one will also decrease and eventually people with concentrate on natural ones. This will change the supply of white ones.

Coming to sugar though they both are made from the same raw material ie sugar cane juice both have difference of culture really. One is the culture of European nations from where the table sugar originated and the other is Indian from where the jaggery was made.

What basically is the difference is the processing technique involved though the raw material is same for both. Once sugar is made that marks the end of Phosphorus content and its basically sucrose. You need Phosphorus for reducing the phlegm in your body and sugar no longer has it.

Don’t be surprised to know that most of the sugar is refined using bone char or rarely carbon granules.

In the US, sugar companies use predominantly use bone char derived from Cows as they are beef eaters. What is bone char? Bone char is made from animal bones heated at incredibly high temperature and reduced to carbon before being used in a refinery. The sugar does not actually contain bone char particles but it does come in contact with them. Refined sugar does not contain any bone particles. The bone char is used to remove impurities from sugar but does not become part of the sugar though.

I don’t want to go into the deeper aspect of chemistry to explains sugar metabolism in the body but understand that ultimately it becomes acid in the body. Whereas when Jaggery becomes digested its converted to alkali. (Base). As you know our stomach has hydrochloric acid (HCl) already and when sugar metabolism produces acid as the end product this will increase the amount of acid in the body and kidney tries to remove it but after sometime it starts entering the blood stream and eventually these acids causes arthritis in the body. So understand that how much ever you eat jaggery the end product being alkaline balances the acidity of our stomach.

Remember one more thing, it takes long time to digest food when sugar is there and the whole energy is utilized to digest it whereas if you eat jaggery it will facilitate the digestion of all other things present along in the stomach. Ultimately, the take away from this article of mine firstly is to use Jaggery in your daily routine for phlegm ideally better to opt for recipe adaptations and substitution for a hassle-free cooking.

Secondly, people who are fasting for religious reasons to abstain from using table sugars for sugar items as it might have animal bone char. Try to substitute table sugar with cane sugar powder and jaggery so you don’t endure trouble in future.

21 days of Forgiveness v3.0

21 days Online Course by Velu Jayaprakash

In life, we keep facing situations or people that affects us negatively. One unfavorable incident might lead to a lifetime of grievances.

Pain in life is inevitable, but the extent of suffering is our choice. For example, when someone hurts us, we have two choice: one, to keep thinking about it and suffer lifetime thereby damaging inner peace, making our thoughts distorted, leading us to the stage of vengeance. Two, to let it go, make peace with it, and let nature decide its course, thereby becoming a stronger person.

Our mind is programmed to work in a negative loop; it’s up to us to tame it with our will power. Unless and until we forgive, we keep circling in depression, anger, stress, pain, suicidal tendency, revenge, and fear. On the other side, when we let go, there is empathy, compassion, love, harmony, better immunity, and inner peace.  

Forgiveness is the topmost quality in spiritual ladder. Without this, no mantras, yantras, rituals, or crystals will help. Irrespective of caste, creed, or status, every human is gifted with 86,400 karma points called time (in seconds). Should we hold these pain of past and continue to suffer in present that will also affect our future? Our time on earth is limited, we are confined in one body to perform certain roles. how does one go about it and practice forgiveness when it continues to bite your mind and soul? To unlock the keys, we are launching the 21 days of forgiveness v3.0 on Jan 2022. For 21 days, 20 minutes a day, you will practice the art of forgiveness and will feel the transformation yourself – discover peace, feel grounded, and become humble.

Power of Lighting A Lamp – Chapter 2

Webinar by Velu Jayaprakash

Ever since man learnt to start to light a fire inside the cave, he discovered the mystic powers of fire. He channeled this curiosity to understand the purpose of human birth. As time flew, fire continued to illuminate us.

Lighting a lamp equates to kindling source of knowledge; it is a divine connection we establish between us and the conscious universe. Lighting a lamp brightens the self; it changes the aura around (and within) you. It develops intellect, brings knowledge, and blesses with prosperity. The significance of lighting a lamp rightly takes us towards the light; it takes us towards the direction of truth and harmony.

As we discovered the benefits of the ritual of lighting the lamp – to empower energies, for inner peace, for welfare of family, or to wish for prosperity. As we continue this practice to connect with the Divine, it enlightens our inner self, guiding us towards prosperity.

Do you know for the different types of lamps, the benefits changes with change in oil? Even the preparation of wicks changes with the need. Every minute detail counts! When you light the lamp correctly, the results are extraordinary. And this is what brings us to come up with a second chapter on The Power of Lighting Lamps.

In this webinar, we will cover:


• Secrets of different types of lamps
• Benefits of various oils
• Learn about the combination of oil depending on the need
• Method of preparing various types of wicks
• Types of metals used for lamps for specific purpose like solving relationship issues, attracting wealth, eliminate negative energy, cleanse your home etc.

PS: It is not mandatory that you should have attended Chapter 1
