” Incredible India ” – why India is called so ?

Posted on March 30, 2012 by RK Sangha

The author RK Sangha at Ajanta Caves (India)

” Incredible India ” – the term.

The term ” incredible India ” was used as a brand name by the Union Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India in 2002 to start an international campaign to promote tourism in India to global audience.
Later in 2009, the scope of this campaign was extended to target domestic audience by using the Sanskrit term ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ (the guest is god). The campaign served its purpose well as evident from percentage increase in tourists in later years.

Is India incredible indeed ?

The term ‘incredible’ means astonishing, unbelievable etc. One can ask “IS INDIA INCREDIBLE INDEED ?”

My answer is Yes. India is definitely incredible in many ways.
India is incredible not only in view of its ethnic, linguistic, demographic, climatic and geographic diversity, above all, India is incredible when we examine India from different historical, cultural and democratic angles.

India invaded by many but never invaded others

Historically speaking, India was known as “Sone ki Chidia” (Hindi words meaning Golden sparrow). In the past, India was attacked by many invaders . There is a long chain of invaders from Alexander to the East India Company of England. Although India was attacked by many but India attacked none. Secondly, no invader could undermine or change the spirit of India. In fact, most invaders got absorbed into the mainstream or returned back.

Columbus’s voyage was for India

Not long ago, India was famous for its Silk and Spices. It is well known that Columbus started his voyage from Spain to find a sea route for India but landed in America thinking that he is in India.

Highly rich past with great intellectual and spiritual discussions

Culturally, despite multiplicity and diversity, there are many common links which bind not only India as a Nation but also the Indian sub-continent. Above all, India is known for its spirituality and high level of intellectual discussions in Vedas, Gita, Vedanta, Buddhist scriptures and in the writings of Sufis, Jains, Sikh saints and scholars. Since long, India has been a source of knowledge and research for many scholars. Now a days, due to awakenings in natural health, the rich tradition of Ayurveda and Yoga is becoming the focus the world over.

Birth place of Mahatma Gandhi

Politically, India is world’s largest democracy. India is the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi, who practiced Non-violence as an instrument for social change. Although, Gandhian ideology has not been understood and followed properly in India, it has inspired many non-violent movements in recent years in other parts of the world. Now a days, the Civil Society all over the world is realizing the value of Non-violent struggle in bringing the desired social change.

Passage to India ; A poem by Walt WhitMan and A novel by EM Forster

To understand why India is called incredible, one needs to read Passage to India, a long poem written by Walt Whitman, an american poet (1819-1892) or a novel, A Passage to India by EM Forster (1924).

Cradle of man

In the poem, Walt Whitman describes India as ‘cradle of man’. To quote from his poem :-

“The old, most populous, wealthiest of earth’s lands,

The streams of the Indus and the Ganges, and many affluents…………..”

An Echo

And in the novel, EM Forster confronts the main characters with the sounds of an echo while they were inside the darkness of the Marabar Caves. The echo highlights the ‘tensions’ and ‘fears’ in the minds of the characters. One needs to read this novel to know why India is called as “incredible”.

India is incredible indeed. One can know by visiting India from Kanyakumari to Sri Nagar or from Darjeeling or Himalayan Hills to Kerala backwaters. Or, by viewing Natural wonders and Architectural marvels in different parts of India.

Digestion of Food in Human Body

Posted on August 18, 2011 by RK Sangha

Digestion of Food in Human Body

The digestive system of human body is a complex series of organs and glands that process food. The digestion process starts with ingestion of food into the mouth; the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food; absorption of nutrients and ends

Digestion of Food in Human Body, Source Wikipedia.org

with excretion of the waste material. In simple terms, the digestive system is a tube running from mouth to anus. Its chief goal is to breakdown macromolecules (proteins, fats and starch) which cannot be absorbed intact, into smaller molecules (amino acids, fatty acids and glucose) that can be absorbed across the wall of the tube to supply them around the body through the circulatory system.

Phases of Gastric Secretion

The digestion in human body occurs in following phases of gastric secretion :-

1. Cephalic Phase : This phase occurs before food enters the stomach. It prepares the body for digestion through thought, sight, smell and taste of the food Gastric secretion in this phase rises upto 40% of maximum rate.

2. Gastric Phase : This phase takes 3 to 4 hours. It is stimulated by distension of stomach, presence of food in stomach and decrease in pH.

3. Intestinal Phase : This phase occurs in two parts : excitatory and inhibitory. Partially digested food fills the duodenum. This excites or triggers intestinal gastrin to be released. Enterogastric reflex inhibits vagal nuclei, activating sympathetic fibres, causing the pyloric sphincter to tighten to prevent more food from entering, and inhibits local reflexes.

The Small Intestine

The readers might have noticed that I have skipped the details of each and every organ of the digestive system and instead, highlighted the phases of gastric secretion. Why ? Because, I want to stress upon the ABSORPTION OF NUTRIENTS in the small intestine, where 95% absorption of nutrients occurs. So, what is small intestine ?

Virtually, all nutrients from the diet are absorbed into blood across the mucosa of small intestine. In addition, the intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, thus playing a critical role in maintenance of body water and acid-based balance. The single most important process takes place here to make absorption, is establishment of an electrochemical gradient of sodium across the epithelial cell boundary of the lumen.

Food and its digestion in the human body is crucial to good health. So, I will write few more articles concentrating on important processes of digestion like the one mentioned in the above para. The readers can also suggest a topic to write an article. The health of our body depends not only on nutritious food intake, but also its proper digestion. And, we commit many mistakes to block or delay or alter the digestion in our body. How ? I will describe in my subsequent articles. Keep visiting. Thanks.

Oxygen : Quantity and Quality of Oxygen in Health

Posted on August 7, 2011 by RK Sangha

Oxygen

The oxygen is not only the basis of human life, oxygen is the health-keeper of our body. We breathe in the oxygen from the air around us. So, both the quantity and quality of the oxygen in the air determine our health. As I told in my earlier article The Human Body : Five Basic Elements , the human body is composed of Five Basic Elements : Air, Water, Fire, Earth & Sky. The air is a combination of gases and the oxygen is one of its major constituents. Oxygen is the most major and life-sustaining part of human body. We can live a little longer in the absence of other elements, but we can not live more than a minute without air.

The Metabolism in Human Body

As the oxygen is the major part of human body, the latest research is revealing how the levels of oxygen inside the human body can cause or remove various illnesses. Oxygen is the key ingredient in the metabolic process of human body and 80% of all our metabolic energy is created by oxygen. Many researchers now agree that the best way to improve health is to maximize the oxygenation of every cell. Luckily, the importance of the quantity & quality of oxygen has been recognized by many ancient scholars also, who concentrated on breathing process of human body to develop breathing exercises such as in Yoga, although their target was meditation only. These ancient scholars have left an enormous database on which the modern scholars are working or may work to create inexpensive and viable health solutions by using the oxygen and the breathing process. I have already created another website www.healththroughdeepbreathing.com to write articles relating to the breathing process of human body and how to maintain or regain health through deep breathing and other natural means. The readers are requested to read my articles and offer their valuable and well-considered suggestions or comments so as to create a better content for the benefit of the humanity at large.

The Quantity & Quality of Oxygen

Oxygen is vital for our brain, blood circulation, eye-sight, immune system, in short, for every cell of our body. As I wrote above, both the quality and quantity of oxygen in and around our body and its supply through the blood circulation to different parts, determine our health. When the human body lives in low levels of oxygen over a long period, the harmful bacteria multiply and start defeating the army of good bacteria; the onset of various diseases. Hence, one can maintain or regain good health naturally only by learning deep breathing exercises. Shortly, I will write an article : SEVEN BREATHING EXERCISES in one of my two websites. Please continue visiting; read and share my articles with your family and friends; give suggestions or comments. I will appreciate.

Thanks for your visit.

Health Through Deep Breathing

Posted on July 31, 2011 by RK Sangha

Health Through Deep Breathing

Breathing defined

Health through deep breathing means maintaining or regaining health through the breathing process of human body. Breathing is the process which moves the air in and out of the lungs. Aerobic organisms require oxygen to release energy via respiration, in the form of the metabolism of energy-rich molecules such as glucose. Breathing is the only one process to deliver oxygen to where it is needed in the body and removes carbon dioxide.

In addition to removing Carbon Dioxide, breathing results in loss of water from the body. Exhaled air has a relative humidity of 100% because of water diffusing across the moist surface of breathing passages and alveoli. (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing)

Air – One of Five Basic Elements :-

As mentioned in my earlier article, , The Human Body : Five Basic Elements , the air is one of the five basic elements viz. earth, water, fire, air, sky. The air is the most important of them. The Life-Force enters the body through air to energize the human body. In scientific terms, the beginnings of human existence on earth started with the manufacturing and release of Oxygen into the air by the plants through the process of photosynthesis under the sun. In some ancient books, the air is equated with God.

The Importance of Lungs :-

Hence, the importance of lungs; the powerhouse of human body. As I wrote, in my article Food-what, when and how to eat ? , we damage our health by wrong eating habits. We damage our health also by breathing wrongly. In fact, the health can be maintained or regained naturally if we understand the importance of lungs and learn to breathe properly.

My friend, Mr. Michael G. White has done an in depth research about the breathing process and developed a number of products under the trade name of Optimal Breathing

Through breathing techniques, many physical as well as mental ailments can be overcome. Normally, we use only 21% of the total capacity of our lungs. One can imagine the benefits coming from maintaining or regaining one’s health naturally by breathing properly and maximizing the use of the capacity of the lungs.

Health Through Deep Breathing :-

The ancients scholars in many parts of the world, particularly India, developed Deep Breathing Exercises known as Pranayama (part of Yoga), not only to keep the human body in healthy condition and live a long disease free life, but also to realize and experience the Ultimate Truth of Life. The meaning of Yoga is Union of Mind & Body. Shortly, I will create my another website http://healththroughdeepbreathing.com on maintaining or regaining the health naturally through the breathing process of human body.

Caylee ‘s Law: Look for Root Cause

Posted on July 22, 2011 by RK Sangha

Not Caylee ‘s Law: Look for Root Cause

I do agree with the writers who say, let emotions cool down before considering Caylee’s Law. http://www.news-journalonline.com/opinion/editorials/n-j-editorials/2011/07/15/let-emotions-cool-before-considering-caylees-law.html And, my view is strengthened when I read at wikipedia.com the following incidents :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rie_Fujii

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaka_child_abandonment_case

In the above cases, the circumstances are similar. The tragedy resulted when a child is born outside the wedlock, the mother is young and single, the father of the child is not legally married to the mother and/or does not feel attached to the child and/or starts abusing the mother, and another male came into the life of the mother.

Note :-The readers who want to know more about the incident behind the proposal for Caylee’s Law, can click at the following link :-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Caylee_Anthony

The Child Abandonment
Now, when we study the matter of Child Abandonment, we find many more factors aggravating the problem viz.

both the parents are addicted to alcohol/drugs
both are working
are abusing or beating the child etc. etc.

The worst cases are those where the mother is single, working and addicted to alcohol/drugs. This is the root-cause in majority of cases.

Shaken & Addicted Babies

The babies born to addicted mothers come in the world with serious health issues and most of the time, with cravings for the same drugs which were pumped into the blood when the babies were still in the womb.

The Problem is Wide Spread & No Class is Immune

As per a latest report, “the stories are wide spread and cut across communities and social strata. No class is immune. Inside a nice house in a gated community, a fourth-grader pours Cheerios for her little sister and prepares for school. They walk to the bus stop while their mother sleeps next to vodka and pill bottles”.

Becoming a Mother is Sacred & Sublime

There is no other relationship more sacred and sublime than the relationship of a mother and her children. There are many examples where poverty-stricken mothers first feed their children and sometimes go hungry herself if no food is left.

The Bad Mothers are the Results of Bad Choices or Circumstances

Deciding to become a mother is a very serious choice. Physical Majority & Mental Maturity are the pre-requisites. As I wrote earlier, in my article, http://www.healthwithoutmedicines.com/2011/07/health-mind-your-mind/ the working of mind is very important in maintaining physical health, it is also very important in maintaining in mental and social well-being. Hence, the need for proper education and protection of the girl child right from early childhood to adulthood. Although, this is the focus of modern governments, but there are certain Cultural Issues which can only be taken care of only by the families and the communities concerned. What is required is a kind of Social Awakening & Reformation.

Mind Your ‘Mind’

Posted on July 13, 2011 by RK Sangha

1. HEALTH IS NOT ONLY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE

Health is the state of physical, social, mental and spiritual well being. The human body is the outcome of a complex phenomena: both internal and external, both historical and ahistorical. It is made up of four inseperable parts: Brain, Body, Mind and Soul.
Out of above said four parts, the working of the mind is crucial in maintaining or regaining healh through self-control and habit-reform.

2. MIND IS THE KING

If the king is not good, the whole country is affected. Similarly, the working of mind affects the human body.
Everything starts from the mind. Other parts of body implement the directions given by the mind.

3. MIND IS ENERGY

There are so many forces of energy in this world, such as wind, heat, electricity, gravitation etc. and they are all invisible. The mind is one such energy. The mind plays a great role in personality development.

4. ROLE OF MIND IN HEALTH

The mind plays a pivotal role in developing good or bad habits.
Following are indications of diseases resulted from bad habits or emotions :-

Habitual anger=Ulcer
Emotional frustrations=digestive disorders
Oversensitivity=Higher Blood Pressure
Tension=Migraine
Feeling of insecurity=constipation, sleeplessness
Chronic unhappiness=Multiple aches, indigestion
Lack of joy =Anemia
Feeling of bitterness=Arthritis etc. etc.

5. MIND IS MEANT TO LOOK INWARD

The mind is meant to look inward to know about our own body and our being. Looking inward is very crucial in examining our own mistakes while developing the human personality and living a purposeful and happy life. To use this attribute of mind, one needs to be self conscious.

6. DESIRES ARISE IN THE MIND

All human desires first arise inside the mind which are passed on to brain to do the needful. The plans are made by the brain and implemented by the body. Thus , the mind is the starting point. Mind is the king.

7. THE HUMAN BODY IS A PHARMACEUTICAL LAB

The human body is like a pharmaceautical industry, manufacturing various kinds of chemicals needed by the body. The raw materials needed for production of these chemicals are RIGHT FOOD & RIGHT THINKING. Here, the role played by the mind (thinking) in selecting and eating the Food is crucial. Read my article, http://www.healthwithoutmedicines.com/2011/06/food-what-when-and-how-to-eat/
The thoughts of love and peace produce positive chemicals whereas thoughts of anger and hate produce negative chemicals. And we know now, the negative chemicals result in diseases. Hence, Mind Your ‘Mind’ in maintaining and regaining good health.

Obesity : Whats Going On ?

Posted on July 8, 2011 by RK Sangha

Obesity : What is Going on ?

Obesity. Here is the opening para of a news published today in the daily newspaper Orlando Sentinel :-

“Despite all the talk about the nation’s obesity epidemic , despite all the free weightloss and fitness advice around, not one state in the country got thinner this year; according to an annual fat report released Thursday”

The said report is the eighth annual “F as in Fat” report, released by two nonpartisan and nonprofit organizations.

The report states :-

Twenty years ago, no state had an obesity rate of more than 15%. Now, every state does.
Today, 12 states have obesity rates of more than 30%. Four years ago, only one did.

So, whats going on ?

Dr. Jim Marks, director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (which also helped to compile the report), blames on following factors :-

Bigger food portions
Giant sodas
Communities designed around cars, not pedestrians.
Cutting out Physical Education programes in schools
Spending more time in front of TV and Computers

Government subsidies of crops such as corn, also have contributed, he said. Corn is used to make high-fructose corn syrup; a cheap, highcalorie, non-nutritious yet widely used ingredient in many pre-packaged foods.

Another factor is the number of fat persons itself.

According to Dr. Steve Smith, an obesity expert, “A person’s ability to self-assess how fat he is, goes down when everyone around is fat.”

To turn the trend, Prof. Cynthia Harris at Florida A&M University recommends that the community -health workers will need to make grass-roots changes. “They will need to get out in their neighborhoods and show others how to shop for and prepare healthier meals.”

So, the effort will be raising awareness and stressing self-control in health matters.

And in this effort, my website www.healthwithoutmedicines.com is my humble contribution towards MAINTAINING OR REGAINING HEALTH THROUGH SELF-CONTROL AND HABIT-REFORM.

Human Body : Five Basic Elements

Posted on July 6, 2011 by RK Sangha

Human Body and the Five Basic Elements

The human body is composed of following Five Basic Natural Elements :-

Earth- (Solid)

Water-(Liquid)

Fire-(Heat)

Air-(Air)

Sky-(Empty Space)

In order to fill up the loss of above said Five Basic Elements in our body, we need to supply all these natural elements to our body.

And, the sources of supply are availble in our natural surroundings.

These are Vegetables, Fruits, Animals etc.

But, the best amongst these sources are Fruits & Vegetables only as they are also made up of above said Five Basic Natural Elements.

Because, the fruits and vegetables:

-grow in earth, absorbing the nutrients from the earth.

-grow using water but retaining only the pure & distilled water for us.

-grow in sun, absorbing energy from the sunlight.

-grow in open air, utilizing carbon dioxide and releasing Oxygen needed by human body.

-grow under the sky, absorbing nutrients coming from dews, rain, moon etc

Therefore, the vegetables and fruits carry all the purest & healthy nutrients needed by the cells of human body.

They get digested easily.

They provide us maximum and pure nutrients.

And, they add no toxins to our body.

These days, there is a genuine concern about pollution and toxins. But, observing the process of growing vegetables and fruits as explained above, the vegetables and fruits are more safer to consume as compared with other sources of food.

This is all I want to say on the Five Basic Elements of Human Body. Now, I want to write about the Eating Habits, and thats very important. Read my next article.

Food : what, when and how to eat ?

Posted on June 6, 2011 by RK Sangha

Food and the Eating Habits

Food – what, how and when ? If you know the answer to this question, you know very well the importance of food in maintaining or regaining good health.

Thats not something special or a specialized study.

Thats a common sense in consumption of food.

And this common sense is part of every culture in different parts of the world and we inherit this from our cultural environment.

But, here is the crux of the problem :-

We know but we do not apply our knowledge, particularly, in eating.
As its a personal choice, we exploit our freedom to eat and eat all the time and defeat the very purpose of eating: to eat to energize our body.
We know what to eat and what not to eat but most of the time we eat wrong foods only to satisfy our taste buds. Thus, we not only damage our health but also waste our hard earned money. Sorry, if somebody is offended by my straightforwardness but isn’t this the truth of our daily living in modern times ?
Then how to eat ? We know very well that chewing while eating the food is very important to the process of digestion. We also know that while eating we ought to be happy and pay our full attention towards our eating and do not indulge in unnecessary talks. But, what we do ? We eat while walking, talking and most of the time, we let the food go down the stomach without using our teeth properly to cut the food and without mixing our saliva into the food through the process of chewing. Thats not eating for health at all. How it damages our health ? Read my next article.
