Meanwhile, we would like to share few of the feedbacks we received from the current batch
Today I was panic after hearing some bad news. Immediately to come out of the I did chant the SW. Didn’t remember exactly how many times I did. But after 3,4 mins I was fine and my mind was calm. It tremendously worked today.
Samatha

I continued with same intension for next day too .. it improved very well and I am really happy …
It worked well when u feel that it really happened …your positive thinking is more important to attract the benefits of this switch words is what I felt personally …
Hima Bindu
Today I completed Day-3. The keyword you taught last day really worked in my case. I took the affirmation yesterday but today after chanting, I got the answer for that memory / emotion which I released. Also I have been waiting for an answer to that incident more than 25 years . Today I literally relieved Anna
Third day Today morning after chanting whatever intention I set immediately after few mins it is manifested . Really surprised
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!
Similar to what we mentioned for Full Moon, New Moon day meditation also has the power of rewriting your Karma. While we have been discussing in numerous occasions on the rituals to be performed on Full Moon/New Moon days like donating food, praying to ancestors,lighting special lamps, praying to Family deity, travel related, lighting sambrani, rituals learnt from 48 days of Holistic Living etc. , meditating on these special days is also very important and a must thing to do.
So why is this Amavasya special? Chaitra Amavasya is the new moon day that falls in the Indian month of Chaitra, which is the first month of the Indian calendar. It usually falls in March or April in the Gregorian calendar. This day is considered auspicious and is observed as a day of fasting and performing puja (worship). It is believed that observing fast and performing rituals on this day can bring prosperity, happiness, and fulfillment of wishes. Chaitra Amavasya also marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year in some regions in India.

Our ancestors have bestowed upon us various practices and wisdom that can help us elevate our soul experience. Yantra is one of the highly demanded topics of our audience, and we are delighted to offer this workshop in Bangalore Gurukul.
In spiritual terms, Yantra is a sacred geometry that represents the energy of a particular deity or a specific intention. The shapes and patterns of Yantra are believed to hold immense power and can be used for meditation, manifestation, and healing purposes. It is said that by using Yantras, one can align their energy with the divine source and receive blessings, protection, and abundance. Yantra is a tool that can help individuals to connect with their higher self and gain spiritual insight and wisdom.
The intricate geometrical patterns of Yantra can have a calming effect on the mind and can help individuals to focus their attention and concentration. As a result, practicing Yantra meditation regularly can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and promote feelings of relaxation and inner peace. It is a tool for self-improvement, personal growth, and spiritual development. It can help individuals to tap into their inner resources and connect with their higher self, ultimately leading to greater happiness, fulfillment, and well-being.
Ayurveda and Siddha Medicine, it was used as a way to balance and harmonize the body’s energy systems. For example, Yantras may be used in combination with specific herbs, acupuncture, or other healing modalities to enhance their effectiveness.

These veggies may be rare and slowly disappearing from our plates, but they are bursting with flavors and nutrients that our bodies and souls crave. We have included common names in English and the botanical name only otherwise the post would be longer if we cover the native language names.
Bread fruit – Artocarpus altilis Family of jackfruit & mulberry. It gets its name from the fact that its texture is often compared to that of freshly baked bread. While breadfruit is often cooked and eaten like a vegetable, it is actually a fruit that is harvested when it is mature but still unripe. When cooked, the flesh of the breadfruit is soft, creamy, and slightly sweet, with a mild flavor that is often compared to that of potatoes. Breadfruit is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is also a good source of complex carbohydrates, which can provide sustained energy. Because of its high nutritional value, breadfruit is sometimes referred to as a “superfood.”
Sword Beans – Canavalia gladiata They are known for their long, slender pods that resemble a sword, hence their name. The pods of sword beans can grow up to 1.5 feet long and contain 6-12 seeds each. In addition to being used as a food source, sword beans are also used in traditional medicine in many cultures. They are believed to have various health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol levels, and improving digestion.
Palmyra Sprout Also known as toddy palm sprouts or ice-apple, are the young shoots of the palmyra palm tree. It can be eaten raw or cooked and are often used in salads, soups, and stir-fries. You can also make flour out of and it and consume it several ways.
Veldt Grape – Cissus quadrangularis A good source of calcium and may help to strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis. While we all might have seen the ordinary 4 sided(sathura pirandai, hence quadrangularis) pirandai, there are more in Nature like rounded one(mani/uruttu pirandai), 3 sided(muppirandai), sweet(inippu), flat ones(olai), puli(sour), wild pirandai, leaf pirandai(ilai) etc. Also if its nodes are close to each other, they are classified as female and if far apart, they are classified as male. If you are reluctant to grow, or go through the precautionary measures of cleaning them, our fast selling store products made using Pirandai – Pirandai idli podi, Pirandai Vathal/papad are here for your rescue!
Turkey berry – Solanum torvum Apart from its medicinal properties, it is used as a food source in many parts of the world. The fruit is often used in cooking as a flavoring agent and is particularly popular in Indian, Thai, and Indonesian cuisines. A great source of iron and calcium. It can heal stomach aches and enhance digestion. Tamil cuisine’s famous recipe Vathal Kuzhambu, Angaya podi are made with dried turkey berries. Make sabjis/stir fries, kuzhambu or curries.
Clove Beans – Ipomoea muricata The name came because it looks like clove. The name of this vegetable in Malayalam is “Nithya Vazhuthina”, literally means, ‘Daily Brinjal’. Once it grows and starts flowering, you will get the veggie almost daily!. You need to know the right stage of harvesting time as it matures very soon. There are 3-4 varieties, like green and white long ones, purple ones, green & white short ones etc. This creeper plant comes from the same family as Morning glory, but unlike morning glory which flowers in day time, Clove bean flowers in the evening.
Winged Beans – Psophocarpus tetragonolobus They are so named because their pods have distinctively winged edges, which make them resemble small airplanes. A highly nutritious vegetable with a good source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The plant is versatile and the entire plant, including its leaves, flowers, roots, and tubers, are edible and are used in different ways in different cuisines. The young and tender pods of the winged bean can be cooked and eaten like green beans, while the seeds can be cooked and eaten like peas or roasted and ground into flour. The leaves and flowers of the plant can be used in salads or cooked dishes, and the tubers can be boiled, roasted or fried and used in various recipes. It is also used in traditional medicine for various health benefits. They are relatively easy to grow and are an excellent addition to any vegetable garden or a healthy diet.
Little WildGourd – Momordica cymbalaria A relative of bitter gourd but contains higher amounts of calcium, potassium, sodium, vitamin C and fiber than bittergourd. It can be used to make Poriyal,fry, pulikulambu, pickle, and vadagam etc. The fruits and tubers were used in the traditional medicine and as well as vegetable food by the tribal farmers. The fruits are useful in treating gout, rheumatism and sub-acute cases of the spleen and liver disease. The fruits juice and leaf tea of Little Wild Gourd is employed for diabetes, malaria, colic, sores and wounds, infections, worms and parasites, as an emmenagogue, and for measles, hepatitis, and fevers. Fruit pulp, leaf juice and seeds possess antihelimetic activity. This veggie is under threat of extinction.
Giant Granadilla – Passiflora quadrangularis One of the largest fruit producing plant in the passiflora(passion fruit) family. Its a climber with squared sides(like Veldt Grape), hence the name ‘Quadrangularis’. While fruit is consumed as juice/beverage in some parts of the world, it is cooked as a vegetable for curries too. If you are growing this plant, if you can grow the passion fruit also, can help this plant to have more fruits. It is a tropical fruit that is not widely available in many parts of the world, but is certainly worth trying if you have the opportunity.
Purple Yam – Dioscorea alata The plant is a type of yam and is related to other starchy root vegetables, such as sweet potato and cassava(tapioca).The root vegetable can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, baking, or frying, and can be used to make everything from cakes and pastries to ice creams and jams. Purple yam is also a nutritious food, rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. It is particularly high in potassium, which is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart diseases.
Red Sorrel – Hibiscus sabdariffa Also known as Roselle, is a species of hibiscus plant. The one in poster is the edible calyces, which are the fleshy, cup-shaped structures that surround the seed pods of the plant. Red sorrel has a tart, fruity flavor and is used in a variety of culinary applications, including making teas, jams, jellies, sauces, and beverages. It is a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin C and anthocyanins, which are plant compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and disease-fighting properties. Some studies have suggested that red sorrel may have beneficial effects on blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and liver health. The plant is also used in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes. The leaves and flowers of the plant are sometimes used to make a poultice that can be applied to the skin to help with inflammation, while the seeds of the plant are sometimes used to treat digestive problems.
Red Okra If you ask anyone to tell the okra color they would say green color. But are you aware that there are many varieties out there? Red okra is one of the native variety. There are more, like elephant tusk, musk/wild okra etc. Red okra is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, folate, and potassium. It also contains antioxidants, such as quercetin and rutin, which can help protect the body against cell damage. In terms of culinary uses, red okra can be prepared in a similar manner to green okra. It can be boiled, roasted, fried, or pickled, and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, and curries. Red okra can also be used in fresh salads, as a garnish, or as a colorful addition to vegetable platters.
Let us not forget the wisdom of our ancestors, who knew the value of these vegetables long before we did. By rediscovering them, we can learn to appreciate the bounty of nature and reconnect with our roots. So, let’s spread the joy of these forgotten veggies and inspire others to do the same. Let’s sow the seeds of love, beauty, and health in our hearts and in our communities.
Experience the transformational power of Shivaratri like never before ~~ by observing a night-long vigil, we have the opportunity to delve deep within and harmonize with the cosmic energy. Just as we cleanse our colon three times a year, oil bath twice a week, fast once a week or two, sacrificing sleep for a night at least once a month or once a year, can bring about miraculous changes in our health, body, and mind.
“Our ancestors were far more advanced than we give them credit for. They meticulously studied the effects of different days on our well-being. Shivaratri offers us the chance to reset our internal clock and reconnect with our deeper roots. The ancient gospel Thirumandriam, as written by Siddha Thirumoolar, highlights that ” Shivaratri is a transformative night of spiritual awakening, where we can experience the oneness of our individual consciousness with the supreme consciousness.”

Do you know that we can make peanut butters at home easier than going to shop and buy, that too with zero added flavours, additives, artificial sweeteners or colors?
INGREDIENTS:
Peanut – 100gms Jaggery – 1 tbsp Salt – a pinch
METHOD:
Dry roast the peanuts well and allow it to cool completely. Then remove the skin. Grind the peanuts in a mixer. Initially it will turn to a powder form, then slowly it will start forming lumps. Give some rest in between and start grinding again. Make sure the jar doesn’t gets heated. In max 5 – 10 mins the lump will change to a slight creamy texture. At this stage add salt, jaggery and grind for few more mins. Now creamy peanut butter is ready. You can also add few roasted and slightly crushed peanuts to this to get a crunchy feel.
Note: If you didn’t get the creamy texture, add very cold pressed groundnut or coconut oil and grind it. 1/4 tsp of oil would be good enough.
