 Defining revolution, Sardar Bhagat Singh had said,
‘Revolution is an invaluable gift to man from humanity.
A war should always be fought with new enthusiasm,
undeterred courage and firm resolution; only then you
will be able to establish a nation based on social val-
ues.’
The warm blood that flows, does not go waste
It brings the dawn of freedom one day
A small spark becomes a blaze
Sacrifice one day, ends up injustice
Respected Swamiji Maharaj says that – ‘It is better
to fight the terrorists once than to die of terrorism again
and again.’ Terrorists are turning their wicked inten-
tions into reality. Our law enforcers have claimed to
have taken strict measures but no results are seen.
Those who take the lives of innocents by spreading
terror and call themselves ‘zihadi’ are nothing but cow-
ards and puppets in the hands of some conspirators and
bring a bad reputation to humanity. They do not have
any ‘mission’ but, rather, they are being forced to give
shape to their supremo’s evil intentions. The time has
come to fight against such individuals who in the name
of religion are an insult to religion.
We are Indians. We have got our priceless indepen-
dence by sacrificing our beloved brethren. Now the time
has come to apply reins on these hatred-filled man-kill-
ing demons. Terrorists not only attack us but they also
attack our love and religion.
Honouring the families of the brave, young immortal
martyrs of the Mumbai terror attacks, Swami Ramdev
presented each with Rs 5 lakhs along with a letter of
tribute. A large memorial ceremony was oraganised in
Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, to give honour and respect
to the departed souls.
The Mumbai Police has made the very valid request
of conferring the prestigious ‘Ashoka Chakra’ award
to the 12 policemen who sacrificed their lives with cour-
age in the Mumbai terror attack.
Criticism and words of anger against terrorists ech-
oed all around the globe but with what result? Empty
words! The political parties and the government will
have to rethink policies against terrorism. The sacrifice
of our immortal martyrs will have to be honoured.
Swamiji is giving a new birth to lost Indian knowl-
edge
The President of Mauritius, Anirudh Jagannath, came
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 4
to India with his wife to visit ‘Patanjali Yogpeeth’. Dur-
ing his visit, he said that Swami Randev is giving a new
life to Indian knowledge that was considered to be lost.
He also said that India and Mauritius can help each
other in the research of yoga, Ayurveda, culture and
spirituality. He mentioned that he was overwhelmed by
Patanjali Yogpeeth.
Mahila Patanjali Yog Samiti established
From the ancient texts, it can be said with convic-
tion that women of the Vedic age were not dependent
on others for protection but they were self-protected.
The light of gentleness and beauty of women, the co-
builder of society, casts a glow on the entire society.
From whatever has been discussed about common cul-
ture in the traditional texts, it can be seen that women
of those days had both gentleness as well as capability.
A woman’s real beauty is not her body but her char-
acter. A woman is not a saleable commodity. She is
Sita, Savitri, Kaushalya, Jagadamba, Taravati, Gargi,
Madalasha, Mahalaskshmi, Meera and Lakshmibai. A
woman is the love of a mother, respect of a wife and
regard of a daughter. Do not make women a saleable
commodity and do not joke about a woman’s character.
This is an insult to mother. Today, the intelligent and
conscious mothers and sisters of our nation are again
and again made targets of nasty remarks. This should
be opposed with all our strength so that people are made
aware that Indian women are not characterless but are
the very symbols of purity.
Our women are also taking ahead Swami Ramdev’s
resolution of ‘Healthy India, Healthy World’. In Yoga
classes, almost 60 per cent of the participants are
women. Swami Ramdev is very serious about the
empowerment of women. To honour ancient traditions
and make women part of the biggest yoga revolution of
this age, he has established the ‘Mahila Patanjali Yog
Samiti’ on the death anniversary of Pandit Ram Prasad
Bismil and ensured the participation of women from
India and Nepal.

DIABETES GONE,
BRINGING SWEETNESS INTO MY LIFE
Highly respected Swami Ramdevji,
Namaste
I had been suffering from diabetes for the past 2
years. Allopathic medicine did not help me. I started
going to Yoga classes from 16 November 2008. For my
meals, I started taking vegetables boiled with dalia. I
am not eating anything else. My P.P. sugar came down
from 277 to 217, and in 17 days, on 3rd December 2008,
my P.P. sugar reached 132. Doctors had postponed a
surgery for hydrocele, asking me to first control my
sugar. On 4th December, my operation was performed.
Swamiji Maharaj! Yoga has given me a new life. In
the young age of 35 years, I was feeling helpless and
dependent. I feel as if I have been infused with a new
energy and been gifted with a new consciousness. My
life has become filled with sweetness.
Sincerely,
Vishambhar Dayal Nigam

RELIEF FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WITH
THE HELP OF PRANAYAM
Respected Swamiji,
Namaste!
I have been suffering from high blood pressure for
many years. A number of times, I have also lost con-
sciousness because of bleeding from the nose. Even
after allopathic treatment at a number of places, I did
not get any relief. I tried to do Pranayam by referring to
books but did it in the wrong method. However, when I
started doing pranayam under the instructions of a Yoga
teacher, my blood pressure became normal.
For many months now, whenever I have got it
checked, my blood pressure has remained normal. I am
completely ok even though my food habits are the same.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 5
I also haven’t taken any medicine for the past
20 months. Now I have complete belief that
Yoga is the only solution to cure any disease
from the roots.

SUGAR IS NORMAL WITH YOGA-PRANAYAM
Respected Swamiji Maharaj!
Namaste!
I had been suffering from diabetes for many years.
In January 2005, when I got my sugar checked, it was
416. From September 2007, I learnt Pranayam and
started doing it with full faith and sincerity. After 6
months, when my sugar was checked, it had come down
to 102. Now I am completely alright. I am extremely
grateful to you.

STONES DISSOLVED WITH THE HELP OF
PRANAYAM AND MEDICINES
Respected Swami Ramdevji Maharaj,
Namaste!
I had been suffering from stomachache. On 14
March 2008, on doing an ultrasound it was reported
that my right kidney had a 13.1 mm stone. The doctor
said that for such a big stone, surgery was the only
answer. After this, I visited the Vaid at the Patanjali
Yogpeeth centre at Muradabad. He prescribed
Ayurvedic medicines such as Asmari Ras, Divya Vrik
Doshar Kwarth, Hajrul Yahud Bhasma and Vrik Doshar
Vati. Apart from regularly doing Pranayam, I also took
these medicines. On 10th November 2008, I again did
an ultrasound, the report of which was normal. Swamiji,
I offer my obeisance to you.

Just as night follows day, similarly after youth comes
old age. Everyone knows that this truth is an unchange-
able rule of nature. Even then people do not like to hear
themselves being called old. The coming of old age is a
necessary physical nature. With the increase in age,
the physical and mental abilities of a person decreases.
People still want to remain young and look fresh for
longer and longer periods. With the help of a pure lifestyle
and balanced food habits, we can certainly keep off old
age for a long time and remain young for a longer pe-
riod.
Research on the deaths of centenarians reveals the
fact that such people have had nutritious and healthy
food throughout their life, have done exercise and physi-
cal activity, and had developed the habit to live without
worries. Those people who remain busy all the time, do
not allow laziness to come near them and are involved
in some task or the other throughout the day live a long
life. There is a definite timeframe for life and death.
This timeframe cannot be increased and decreased but
by making your work and leisure healthy and pure, you
can definitely make your life full of happiness.
If habits are not allowed to go astray while young,
then it is possible to keep old age at bay. About this,
psychologists have said that mental ill-habits are more
dangerous than physical ill-habits. That is the reason
why our opinions and mental waves should always be
permeated by clean, healthy and pure thoughts. Even
the scriptures say that human life should be at least up
to 110 years. According to available proof, very few
people live up to the age of 200 years. A man in Nor-
way has lived for 146 years and this fact has also been
recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. Many
people in Japan live up to 100 years. There, such people
number over 2000. In Japan, people have a very busy
daily routine. That is why people there live long and
remain active. After Japan, it is China’s turn. There, a
person named Yung Bun passed away after living for
256 years. In the Soviet Union, a person lived for 168
years.
Keep your mind always fresh. Do not let it get tired.
It is only through mental tiredness that a person feels
physically tired. Someone has rightly said that a running
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 9
-Dr. (Prof.) Ravindranath Mishra
horse and a walking human do not become old. Mental
problems make a person’s body rotten. That is why one
should always try to keep happy. Behaviour should be
gentle and anger should be shed away. If you do not do
this, you will quickly be in the grasp of some ailment.
Compared to a person who talks a lot, a quiet person or
someone who talks less will live longer and will be suc-
cessful in keeping old age away by himself.
Adopt the right food habits
We get surrounded by many problems because of
our wrong food habits. Even in Charak Samhita, it has
been said that eating the wrong food at the wrong time
leads to diseases of the body. It is all the more neces-
sary to take care fo food habits in middle age as by
now, a person starts showing signs of blood pressure,
diabetes, arthritis and heart diseases.S
Morning breakfast
Breakfast is very important for everyone, be it
young, old, children or women. In the morning meal,
you can have dalia (bulgur wheat), sprouted pulses, fruits
or milk. Never have food prepared in the market. Such
a breakfast will cause lot of harm to the body. Always
keep in mind, that a person who does not do much physi-
cal labour should not have bread and butter in the morn-
ing as bread-butter increase fat in the body. Rather than
having fruit juice, it is better to eat whole fresh fruits by
chewing them. It is better if tea or coffee is not in-
cluded in the morning breakfast.
Food habits
It is very important to keep an eye on food habits
with increasing age.
• It is important at this age to have such foods that are
easy to chew and easy to digest. If food can be
easily chewed then the teeth do not have to work so
hard. Remember that teeth weaken at this age.
Many-a-times, teeth even start falling.
• At this age, nutritious food with less spice should be
taken.
• You should eat food that has less ghee, oil or butter.
• Eat fruits and vegetable that are fibrous. This pre
vents constipation.
• Take food with less fat such as milk, curd and paneer.
Such food is easily digested and has also proved
beneficial in cases of high cholesterol.
• Foods should be of low calories as with increasing
age, the body does do a great amount of physical
activity.
• Juice, soup, etc should be had regularly.
• Have food that has iron and protein.
• Pay special attention the cleanliness of the body. If
this is not done then skin disease might spread in the
body.
• The most important thing at this age is to control the
weight.
• A lot of water should be drunk during the day.
• Take more food that required without thinking also
decreases the life-span.
Important tips for remaining young forever
• Do not take medicines quickly for small illnesses such
as coughs and colds. Take natural medicine to the
extent possible. Doing this may mean a longer pe-
riod for recovery but this builds up immunity in the
person.
• You should leave your bed at 5 am in the morning as
lying in bed for a long time gives rise to the feeling
of laziness.
• You should walk for 0 minutes in the fresh morning
air. This gives birth to new energy and fitness in the
body.
• You should have the habit of emptying your bowels
regularly in the morning. Doing this prevents the
accumulation of waste products in the stomach.
• Calcium in the teeth gets eroded with increasing age.
In such a case, special care should be taken of the
teeth. Along with cleaning the teeth in the morning,
develop the habit of cleaning your teeth at night too
before sleeping. Doing this removes the food par-
ticles trapped in between teeth.
• During the day, splash clean water on your eyes and
wash them a number of times. Include fruits and
vegetables that contain Vitamin a in your diet to keep
the eyesight proper.
• Keep away from mental stress as far as possible.
Diseases such as heart attacks and blood pressure
have a direct connection with mental stress. Always
keep happy and smiling. Doing this not only keeps
mental stress at bay but also prevents a number of
diseases.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 10
• Food should always be eaten on time and should be
simple. Eat your food slowly after chewing well.
Remember, heavy food at this age harms rather than
benefiting the body.
• Food should be swallowed fast without chewing. If
this is done then the stomach has to the work of the
teeth. This has a bad effect on the digestive system.
• Do not let obesity control you. Remember that fat
people are more affected by blood pressure, diabe-
tes and heart diseases.
• To get rid of excess fat, eat food with fewer calo-
ries.
• Definitely fast for one day in a month. Doing this
keeps the digestive system fit.
• Drinking a glass of water with lemon juice in the
morning not only removes excess fat but also cleans
the stomach.
• Always keep space in your mind for youthful
thoughts and ideas. If your mind remains young, your
body too will remain young.
Useful Advice
• If you want to remain far away from old age then
spend some time in the sun for some time regularly.
The vitamin ‘D’ that is produced in our body in pres-
ence of sunlight reduces the fear of death. It is as-
sumed that the rays of the sun benefits health in a
number of ways, including prevention of arterial dis-
eases, cancer and asthma.
• Staying in the company of young people prevents
the showing of old age. This is why people with in-
creasing age should keep the company of young
folks.
• Sleep is also very important for good health. People
who are not able to sleep for 7-8 hours remain tired
the entire day. Because of lack of sleep, many-a-
times, people even fall sick and fall victim to many
diseases.
• Early to bed and early to rise should be your motto.
• Food should always be taken keeping time, climate
and location in time. Eating food at the wrong time
or eating food that is against the season has a bad
effect on health.
• Stay away from old age with the help of medicinal
herbs
• Add 5 nag Chuara, 12 nag Munnaka (sultanas), and
7 nag Makhana in 250gm milk and make kheer. Take
this to increase blood and muscle and keep the body
fit.
• Blend 5nag raisins, sultanas, 3gm Brahmi, 8nag small
cardamom, 3gm musk melon seed kernels, 10nag
almond and gm Babul and drink it to calm down the
heat and make the body fit and strong.
• At night, before sleeping, eat as many sultanas
(deseeded) as you wish and drink water afterwards.
After some days, weakness will vanish, making the
body fit. (Taking more will lead to diarrhoea, so take
according your body’s capacity).
• Intake of ashwagandha according to requisite meth-
ods makes the body disease-free. Its use only dur-
ing the winters will also make a sick person strong.
It will get rid of old age and bring in new youth.
• Mix 10gm ashgandh churna with equal amounts of
misri and honey and 10gm cow’s ghee. Take this
morning and evening during the winter months for 4
months and even an old man will acquire happiness
of youth.
• Mix the fine churna of Ashwagandha roots with
fresh cow’s ghee, and in people with vata charac-
teristics add pure sesame seeds and in people with
kapha characteristics add warm water. Have this
for a year to remove weakness and destroy all
vyadhiyo. Old person, young and weak person will
also get strength from it.
• Grind the seeds of Gaurakhmundi and mix equal
amount of honey. Eat one fistful each day regularly
to get a lot of strength and people get a long life.
• Dry the entire plant of Gaurakhmundi in the shade.
Grind it when dry and add equal amount of misri and
have one spoon of this morning and evening with
milk to always keep young.
Keep yourself fit and fine with Yoga
Along with correct food and correct habits, you can
also help prevent old age by keeping yourself fit with
the help of Yoga. With the help of Dirgha Naukasan,
you can give strength to the heart. With Matsyasan,
Brajrasan and Mundukasan, you can successfully keep
old age at bay by making your body fit, healthy and

ful and fit. We also get mental peace and strength from
Surya Namaskar along with fuel and energy.
Old age of the mind brings old age of the body. Do
not let the mind get tired. Let it always be filled with
happiness. When you wake up in the morning, your mind
should be filled with beautiful thoughts. When you sleep,
even your dreams should be beautiful. Experience the
pleasure of life with full energy and enthusiasm, only
then will you be successful at keeping old age away.
Always say sweet things. Along with this, develop the
habit of always being humble and happy. Always eat
only balanced diet. Never take stale or junk food from
outside. With such food you will fall victim to illness and
destroy your health. Never eat stale food. The biggest
harm to the body is caused by stale food.

You are the ocean of love, I am thirsty for one drop of you
If you send me back, I will go away from this earth
This mad bird of the wounded mind is impatient to fly
Wings are soft, eyes are drowsy, I have to go across the ocean
Now only you can tell me from where I have lost the way
Life went dancing this way while the mind is still standing
there
Who knows where is the horizon, this is the problem
Just whisper in my ears and tell me which way I should come

A life full of hurry and increasing competition is
robbing people of peace of mind and a good night’s
sleep. This directly affects the mental health of people.
From children to youth to aged people – all are becom-
ing victims of mental illness. Mental stress, insomnia,
hysteria, depression, etc. complains are increasing. Ac-
cording to a survey, 15-20 per cent of the total popula-
tion is suffering from mental illnesses. Of these, 10-15
per cent people need special medical attention. Chil-
dren are also not left untouched by this. Of the children
in the age group of 5-15 years, 5-25 per cent are as-
sumed to be in the grasp of mental problems.
According to mental health expert, Prof. C.K.
Rastogi, problems such as mental stress, insomnia and
depression are on the increase these days. While stress
has become a common thing nowadays, consistent stress
can become the cause of many other diseases. According
to Dr. Rastogi, stress that stays for a long period of
time has a very harmful effect on the body. This leads
to persistent headache, sleeplessness and loss of appe-
tite. There is a gradual weight loss. Women may have
complaints of irregular periods. This stress can lead to
diseases such as peptic ulcer or build-up of acidity in
the stomach, asthma or high blood pressure, anxiety or
hysteria. Sometimes, to get relief from stress, people
start taking intoxicating substances and gradually be-
come addicted to them and it becomes very difficult to
let go of these.
With regard to depression, Dr. Rastogi says this can
affect both males and females of any age, however it is
mainly seen after 40-45 years of age. Mental stress
arising out of various reasons may be the cause for
this. The patient, without any reason, feels very sad,
helpless, and lonely. Along with this, he shows symp-
toms such as headache, dizziness, loss of appetite and
weakness. There are also instances when people af-
fected by this have attempted to commit suicide. Giving
information on another disease, hysteria, Dr Rastogi
says this mainly occurs in women and erupts suddenly
during time of mental stress. The patient may have prob-
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 12

lem in speaking or swallowing. After some time, the
patient may stop seeing with her eyes or may stop hear-
ing with her ears. Breathing becomes rapid and the body
starts shivering. She starts behaving as if possessed by
ghosts or spirits. As no illness shows when the patient
is examined, many-a-times people feel that she is
merely acting but this is not so. About protection from
mental stress, Dr Rastogi said that to whatever extent
it is possible, one should avoid the causes that lead to
mental stress. It is to be mentioned that exercise, yoga
and meditation have been found to be most helpful in
protecting oneself from mental stress.
Every seventh male and every fourth female is a
victim to depression. This disease has grown because
of mental stress. Every year, on 10th October, World
Mental Health day is celebrated. This year, the World
Health Organization has given the slogan of ‘There is
no health without mental health’. Psychiatrist Dr. Vipul
Singh says that two things should be kept in mind for
mental health. First is balance between work and rest,
and the second is one should always find time to do
something that gives pleasure or something that one has
an interest in.
World Health Organization is urging a lot of atten-
tion to be given to mental health as this problem is rap-
idly increasing. According to estimates, by 2020, this
will be the main disease after heart disease. He said
that in a day of 24 hours, 7-8 hours of sleep is very
necessary. Along with this, there should be balanced
diet and regular exercise. It is seen that those people
who do not get their proper quota of sleep get irritated
all the time. One should definitely take out time to do
something of interest so that one feels happy. Even af-
ter all these precautions if someone is still affected by
mental problems, then they should consult a doctor. The
problem of depression is fast increasing.
The Pranayam package being promoted by Swami
Ramdev is proving to be most beneficial. Now people
have started to cure diseases with the help of Yoga

In common language, it is also known as dysentery. In this illness, the patient had re-
peated excretion of thin bowels, with which he feels very weak. Both old and young have
been affected by this illness in their life. When the food, we eat comes out of the body
through the anal cavity within just 5-6 hours, this condition is known as diarrhoea.

D iarrhoea is an illness of the stomach. In common
language, it is also known as dysentery. In this illness,
the patient had repeated excretion of thin bowels, with
which he feels very weak. Both old and young have
been affected by this illness in their life. When the food
we eat comes out of the body through the anal cavity
within just 5-6 hours, this condition is known as diar-
rhoea. In this illness, the food acceptance ability of the
intestines decreases. Along with this, there is shrinkage
in the intestines.
Diarrhoea is of many kinds such as Vatik diarrhoea,
Kaphaj diarrhoea, Shokaj diarrhoea, Shannipataj diar-
rhoea, Paitik (bilious) diarrhoea, dysentery (Amatisar),
Ajirnajanya (dyspepsia) diarrhoea, Severe diarrhoea or
feverish diarrhoea (Jwaratisar), blood diarrhoea.
In Vatik diarrhoea, the stool contains foam, uneven
and comes out of the body in very small quantity with
pain and sound through the anal cavity. In Kapha diar-
rhoea, the patient excretes white stools with very bad
odour and mucous. In Shokaj (distress) diarrhoea, the
patient excretes red blood, the colour of Gunjaphal, with
stools or without stools. In Shannipataj (delirium) diar-
rhoea, the patient excretes stools similar to the water
we get after washing from pork. In bilious diarrhoea,
the patient feels thirsty all the time, feels faint repeat-
edly and he excretes yellow and a little blood-coloured
stools. In dysentery, the patient excretes stools every
few minutes. In dyspeptic diarrhoea, the patient’s stools
are a little green in colour and contain foam. The skin
around the anus becomes reddish. In feverish diarrhoea,
the patient has a vomiting tendency. In the beginning,
the stools are green and oily but soon they turn white
and thin. In this diarrhoea, the patient has fever which
goes up to 102-103o. In blood dysentery, the patient
excretes yellow stools. Sometimes, blood also comes
out.
Apart from the types of diarrhoea mentioned, there
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 13
are many other reasons why diarrhoea occurs. In old
age, the digestive capacity of the intestines decreases
and hence in this age, even a little carelessness in eat-
ing habits can lead to diarrhoea or constipation. In this
form of diarrhoea, even though the patient excretes fre-
quently, he does not feel any particular physical dis-
comfort. Hyperthyroidism, dropsy, high consumption of
tobacco and intake of stale meat also causes diarrhoea
in a person. Diarrhoea may also occur because of liver
problems. Cancer in the intestines, warts, anal fistula,
and ulcer in the intestines may also be the reason for
diarrhoea. A person may also be affected by long-last-
ing diarrhoea because of Pyeria.
Symptoms
Along with thin stools, a patient will feel thirsty. His
mouth will continuously feel dry. The body temperature
falls. The quantity of urine also falls. This condition of
the patient is considered to be serious. Along with loose
faeces, the patient also vomits sometimes. There is a
white deposition on the patient’s tongue. There is pain
and heat in the stomach. Because of stools rotting in
the stomach, the patient also has the problem of flatu-
lence. His appetite decreases. The patient has cramps
in his stomach. The patient excretes stools again and
again and there is a rumbling in the stomach. The body
becomes weak and yellowish.
Reasons
When heavy food, large quantity of food without
chewing well, fried and oily food, alcohol, polluted wa-
ter, stale or rotten food get accumulated and rots in the
stomach, then it causes harm to the stomach. In this
situation, nature removes the accumulated rot through
the big intestine. Shrinkage occurs because of weather
change, drinking polluted water during monsoon, feel-
ing cold, etc. Then the mucous membrane of the intes
 tine comes out in the form of white glutinous matter
in diarrhoea. This condition is called Sangrahani, a
chronic disorder of the bowels. Sometimes, the bowels
rot inside the intestine because of constipation. Even
then this excreta comes out of the body in the form of
diarrhoea. Often, diarrhoea is stopped before time with
the help of opium-containing and other medicine and in
these cases the condition of the patient becomes very
bad. In this situation, nature once again causes diar-
rhoea in the patient. In this way the rotten substance
present inside the body come out. A number of times,
various bacteria cause diarrhoea in a person. When the
intestines are infected by germs such as Giardia, chol-
era virus, Staphylococci, salmonella, amoeba, etc., there
may be attacks of diarrhoea. In these types of diar-
rhoea, there may be pain in the stomach.
Treatment
If diarrhoea is caused by dyspepsia, indigestion or
intestinal problems, then the intestines must be given
complete rest and the dyspepsia must be cured. It is
mainly because of indigestion that diarrhoea occurs in
the body. Diarrhoea may be successfully cured with
the help of medicinal herbs.

A businessman had his own shop. He expanded his
business with a lot of hard work. He used to make a
large profit. The businessman had only one son but he
was extremely lazy, weak and of no use. Even after
repeated explanations by the businessman, his son would
not work. The businessman was worried as to how his
son would manage the business. Finally, he got an idea.
The businessman said to his son – “Son, today you
get me something that you have earned and only then
you will get food to eat, otherwise not.” The business-
man had found a brilliant way of mending his son. The
boy got worried after hearing his father’s words and
thought what to do now. His mother gave him one ru-
pee out of compassion. In the evening when the busi-
nessman asked him for the day’s earnings, the boy
handed over the one rupee. In the olden days, even one
rupee had a lot of value. But the busi-
nessman was keeping a watch of
his son’s activities. He knew ev-
erything. He said, “Go and drop
this in the nearby well.” The
boy ran and threw the coin in
the nearby well. He thought
that the trouble is over.
The next day, businessman
again called his son and said,
“Go and earn something and
only then you will get food to
eat.” The boy thought again the same problem! He was
lazy, he did not want to work. That day he went to his
elder sister and started crying for one rupee. His sister
took pity on her brother and gave him one rupee. The
boy’s problem was solved. In the evening the business-
man asked for the day’s earning. He again handed over
one rupee. The businessman was wise and knew where
this money came from. Yesterday he had got the money
from his mother but today his mother was sent to her
maternal home. Today he must have got it from his sis-
ter. The businessman ordered, “Go and throw this money
in the nearby well.” The boy ran out speedily and threw
the money. He then got his food. However, the busi-
nessman sent his daughter to her in-law’s place.

- Acharya Satyanand ‘Naistik’
The Third day, the businessman again called his son
and said, “Go and bring your earning again.” The son
was very worried today. Today his mother and sister
were not at home and who will listen to him? His
neighbours knew he was good-for-nothing. When there
was no hope of getting money from anywhere, he went
to the market in search of some work. With a lot of
effort, he got one job. The trader said that 25 paise will
be given for the day’s work. The boy agreed. The en-
tire day he carried sacks on his back. His back was
ached. He could not even stand straight. He was over-
whelmed with tiredness. He did not even have the
strength to walk. After his hard and long work, he
reached home with 25 paise. The businessman read
something new on his son’s face. He asked
for the day’s earning. The boy handed over
25 paise. The businessman was quite wise.
Immediately he said, ‘Go and drop this
boy become very angry in the
nearby well.” On hearing this, the
and he said, “I have almost bro-
ken my back for this 25 paise
and am hardly able to walk.
Now you are asking me to
throw this money in the well?”
The businessman said,
“Yesterday you had thrown
one rupee in the well. Today
it is just 25 paise.”
The boy said, “Father, this 25 paise is far more
valuable than one rupee. Now I have realised that to
throw one rupee which was not earned by me was very
easy whereas I am finding it very hard to throw even
25 paise that I have earned with hard work.”
The businessman patted his son’s back. He hugged
him close and handed over the keys of his business to
him saying, “Today you have tasted the fruit of labour,
which is sweet. Hard work is the key to success. Now
you will be able to run this business. This is the lesson I
wanted to teach you.”
Moral: The answer to man’s success lies in hard
work. The person who does not work hard gets left
behind. The life of an idle person is wasted.

V ery few people know what blood pressure is – the

pressure exerted on the walls of the blood vessels by blood
during circulation after being pumped out by the heart is known
as blood pressure. Normally, the pressure in arteries is known as
blood pressure. These are the vessels that carry blood away from the
heart to the other parts of the body.
What is high blood pressure?
If blood exerts more than normal pressure on the walls of the arteries over a
period of time, it is known as high blood pressure. It is also known as hypertension.
Reasons of high blood pressure
In a number of people, no one reason is seen for high blood pressure. This is called
primary blood pressure. In some people, blood pressure occurs because of the preva-

When the blood pressure becomes dangerously low, then the requisite amount of
heart to the
oxygen and nutrients does not reach the vital organs of the body such as brain, heart and
other parts of kidney and these organs are not able to function properly. In a situation like this, because
the body. of low blood pressure, these organs are damaged permanently.
Symptoms
• Lightness of body and sleeplessness are symptoms of low blood pressure.
• When blood pressure falls very low, a person might also become unconscious.
• Chest pain, difficulty in breathing, irregular heart beat, fever (over 101), headache,
stiff neck, cough, vomiting, fatigue, fainting, etc.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 17
Reasons
Low blood pressure can occur to anyone but in
certain cases, it can also become dangerous and
serious. Blood pressure becomes low in the early days
of pregnancy in expecting mothers. The medicines that
control high blood pressure also lower blood pressure.
Apart from these, heart disease, dehydration and lack
of proper nutritious diet may also cause low blood pres-
sure.
Why does blood pressure fluctuate between high
and low?
Tension is the biggest influence on the blood pres-
sure. If children have the tension of studies, then adults
have the tension of striking a balance between home
and the workplace. In other words, no person is free
from tension. This is the reason why blood pressure
has become a common thing among the common popu-
lace.
What is high or low B.P.?
High blood pressure occurs when the blood pumped
out by the heart goes out very fast, exerting great pres-
sure on the walls of the arteries while the exact oppo-
site occurs in low blood pressure, that is the blood
pumped out by the heart goes out very slowly through
the arteries.
What to do
• If you are suffering from high blood pressure then
reduce the intake of salt.
• If you are suffering from low blood pressure then
increase the intake of salt.
• Exercise regularly. This regulates blood pressure.
Just take care that if there is any difficulty in breath-
ing or any pain in the chest, reduce the rate of exer-
cise.
• Take balanced and nutritious diet.
• Low blood pressure patients should take nutritious
food and correct their life style.
• Try to finish your work in time to avoid work-related
stress.
• Take adequate food and eat only those foods which
have low quantity of protein.
• Vegetarian food is the best food. To remove toxic
substances from the body, eat a lot of fresh fruits
and vegetables instead of traditional foodstuff.
• Kidney plays an important role in controlling blood
pressure. Always keep kidneys healthy. For this,
physical exercise is important.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 18
• To get relief from blood pressure with the help of
natural methods, patients should take a fruit diet for
at least one week. In this, oranges, apples, pears,
mango, guava, pineapple, watermelon, etc. are quite
useful. These should be taken three times a day with
a gap of five hours in between. Do not take banana
or jackfruit. Milk should be taken only after a week.
It should be fresh and just boiled once.
• Vegetables are very helpful for high blood pressure
patients. They should be eaten raw. If they have to
be cooked, take care that their natural juices do not
burn out.
• Cucumber, carrot, tomato, onion, radish, cabbage,
spinach, etc. should be eaten raw.
• Garlic is recognized to be a natural cure. Eating gar-
lic regularly regularizes blood pressure and tension
because it has the medicinal property of reducing
the shrinkage of fine capillaries. Apart from giving
relief in nausea, unconsciousness, breathlessness, it
also gives relief in gas, and improves the working of
the heart by reducing the pulse. If 2-3 cloves of
garlic are consumed everyday then it has a profound
effect on blood pressure.
• The intake of amla (gooseberry) is also helpful in
blood pressure. Take one teaspoon of amla juice with
equal amount of honey everyday in the morning.
• Lemon also normalizes high blood pressure. The
vitamin ‘C’ present in it prevents weakness in the
fine capillaries.
• Eat the seeds of watermelon. The seeds of water-
melon have a substance that helps in enlarging the
blood vessels. When the blood vessels become
enlarged, the pressure automatically lowers.
• Food rich in potassium and calcium also controls high
blood pressure. Potassium is present in fruits and
vegetables and calcium is found mainly in milk and
milk products.
• Walking is the best exercise for high blood pressure.
It reduces tension. Muscles are strengthened and
blood circulation improves.
• When blood pressure starts reducing, for greater
exercise, take the help of cycling and jogging. Yoga
is also helpful.
• There should be regular check-up of blood pressure.
This gives an update of the situation.
• Equal amounts of onion juice and honey should be
mixed and 10 gm should be taken once daily as an
 effective cure for blood pressure. Onion juice re-
duces cholesterol levels in the blood thus reducing
the chance of heart attacks. Onion is a tonic for the
nervous system, purifies blood, helps in digestion,
improves the working of the heart and prevents in-
somnia. Honey has a soothing effect on the body
and reduces the excitement in the blood vessels, thus
reducing high blood pressure. With honey the heart
becomes strong and everlasting.
• Grind the kernel of watermelon seeds and white
khus-khus (poppy seeds) separately. Mix equal
weights of each and keep aside. Take 3 gm every
morning on empty stomach with water. This reduces
blood pressure and improves sleep at night. Head-
ache also reduces. Take for 3-4 weeks as required.
• Take 3gm of fenugreek seed powder with water early
morning and evening on empty stomach for 10-15
days to reduce high blood pressure. This also helps
in diabetes.
• After food, chew 1-2 peeled cloves of garlic raw
along with water or insert the garlic cloves in 1-2
deseeded sultanas (munakka) and have it. Fresh
cloves of garlic help in normalizing blood pressure.
• Grind equal quantities of wheat and gram. Make rotis
of the flour with wheat bran and eat them. Improve-
ment will be seen in high blood pressure within 1-2
days.
• Keep water in a copper tumbler at night and drink
this in the morning to lower blood pressure and helps
in controlling it.
• Mix four tulsi leaves, two neem leaves along with 2-
4 spoons of water for 5-7 days every morning on
empty stomach to help in high blood pressure.
• Eat tree-ripened papaya every morning for one month
and do not eat anything for two hours after this. This
helps in high blood pressure.
Foods to avoid in high blood pressure
High blood pressure patients should avoid the fol-
lowing: heavy food made with milk and butter, etc., fried
food, alcohol, smoking, clarified butter (ghee), salt, brinjal,
potato, unripe banana, jackfruit, pulses, refined flour,
sweets, jaggery, oil, sour food, chilli and spices, polished
rice, white refined sugar, tea, coffee, mutton, fish and
intoxicating substances.
Food to eat in high blood pressure
• Fruits such as lemon, papaya, amla, sweet lime
(mausambi), apple, water melon, etc. are helpful.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 19
• Cholai leaves, spinach, garlic, gourds, onion, carrot,
tomato, carrot juice, bathua, etc. are beneficial.
• Eat stale wheat rotis soaked in milk in the morning.
Take curd in which glucose has been mixed.
• Chew every morsel well. Do not drink water while
eating.
• Walk on bare feet for 5-6 km or on green grass for
10-15 minutes for benefit.
• Always be happy – meditate for peace of mind.
• It has also been found that fasting for a day once
every week or fortnight, e.g. in the ekadashi of
suklpaksh, is beneficial.
• For immediate relief in high blood pressure, squeeze
half a lemon in 10 gm water and take this once or
twice with a two hours gap to get instant relief.
Treatment for low blood pressure
• Soak 32 raisins in 150 gm of water in a ceramic
bowl. After twelve hours, eat the raisins one by one,
chewing well to help in low blood pressure. For con-
tinued relief, continue for 32 days. Doing this for
month will remove the disease from the body. Being
full of iron, copper and being an alkaline substance,
it cleanses the blood and body.
• If unconsciousness occurs because of low blood
pressure of heart weakness, take two spoons of juice
of green amla mixed with equal quantity of honey
repeatedly. This helps in regaining consciousness and
strengthens the heart.
• Intake of almonds is very helpful in low blood pres-
sure. Soak seven almonds every night and in the
morning, grind it well and drink it with milk.
• For immediate relief in low blood pressure, stop talking
and sleep quietly, lying on the left side. Sleep will
provide relief.
• Low blood pressure patients should avoid hard labour
and they should practice Yoga Nidra once every-
day. This removes tension and the body relaxes, pro-
viding deep sleep.
• Low blood pressure occurs mainly because of ir-
regularities in sleep and food. Inadequate intake of
nutritious food and hard labour throughout the day
leads to low blood pressure.
• While working, if you feel very tired or nauseous or
if you see darkness while trying to stand up after
sitting for a while, take rest. Food and sleep is the
best medicine for low blood pressure.
ON THE OCCASION OF BLINDNESS PREVENTION WEEK
“Eyes are our windows to the world, without eyes
the world is dark” – there are countless sayings like
this. Almost 85% of the knowledge that we gain during
our life is because of our eyes. Eyes are the biggest gift
to mankind. Similar to a camera, the eye is protected by
the bony socket and lashes, tears, eyelids are all present
for its protection as well as beauty. Our eyes which can
understand 36000 signals in an hour, are made up of 20
lakh parts. If the environment is 100% pollution free
than even by candle light, an eye can see up to a great
distance.
Out of the total 12 sensory nerves connected to the
eyes, 6 are connected only to the eye. But when it comes
to eye donation, people for no reason close their eyes.
Eye donation does not take place while a person is liv-
ing and only carried out after a person is dead. While
living only an oath is taken that after death, the person’s
eyes should be donated. Even so the reality is some-
thing else. When there is a death in the neighboirhood
and you raise the issue of eye donation, 98% negates
the proposal whereas everyone knows that just the body
is lying here. The soul has departed and the body is only
here for some more time before it is cremated or bur-
ied. Why is there such hesitation for eye donation? Some
people say that if eyes are taken out in this birth, then in
the next birth one will be born blind. Some others say
that after taking out the eyes the dead body becomes
ugly. Yet others say that our religion does not allow eye
donation. There is no end to the number of reasons given
by people. These very people donate clothes, wealth,
cows and what not during all major festivals and occa-
sions but when it comes to eye donation, everyone turn
a blind eye.
us=ke~ iz/kue~ losZfUnz;k.kke~
Just as the Peepal among trees, Ganga among riv-
ers, the eye is considered to be the principal organ
amongst all organs of the body. Eyes that gift us the
knowledge of reality. Does not it then become our duty
to protect our eyes as invaluable jewels and instead of
burning or burying them after death, isn’t it better to
give two blind people a chance to see the world?

Donate your eyes
Let light enter two lives
According to the Health Ministry, Government of
India, approximately 20 lakh people in India are blind
due to damaged cornea and 30,000 to 40,000 people
turn victim each year because of corneal blindness.
According to the Eye Bank Association of India,
there are 543 eyes banks in India, which are able to
collect only 30,000 cornea each year, that is there are
only about 15,000 cornea donors while there are 80-90
lakh deaths each year.
Of this, only 15,000 are eye donors, that is 2%. Sri
Lanka, which is a very small country with a population
about the size of Delhi or Haryana donates eyes to 135
other countries. The Indian government’s Indian Air-
lines also gives free cargo service for this. Corneas can
be transported from one place to another.
Of the eye donations in India, 42% is from South
India, 38% is from West India and only 20% eyes come
from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir,
Rajasthan, U.P., Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and North East
India.
It is often seen that despite being blind, people are
able to understand and recognize things. In explanation
it has been said that blind people see things with their
sixth sense or with their inner eyes. Now even scien-
tists have agreed that the blind can see. This can be
said to be ‘blind sight’.
It is because of damage to the visual cortex that
people cease to see. Visual cortex allows sight in people.
The visual cortex can be damaged by natural or exter-
nal injury or strokes, etc. According to research, blind
people can ‘see’ or recognize things with the help of
blind sight. It is that power which allows a blind person
to feel a thing with his or her senses without actually
seeing it.
Respected Swami Ramdevji Maharaj is giving a lot
of importance to blood donation and eye donation. Im-
portant and beautiful work is being carried out in this
regard in Patanjali Yogpeeth’s modern and Ayurvedic
optic and research department.
 -Acharya Balkrishna
A person’s story is actually the story of his mind.
This is what gives birth to tranquility in disturbance and
disturbance in tranquility, peace in struggle and struggle
in peace. This is the biggest problem and also, finally,
the solution to all problems. An entire branch of knowl-
edge has come up for its research, which we know by
the name of psychology. Despite this, what is the
nature of the mind? There is still no Common opinion as
to a final answer to this question. Despite the sages of
India differentiating the sense and life energies gradu-
ally in the form of food-giving and life-giving cells, they
have also identified the intelligent mind in the body and
its activities as mental cells. This is the connecting point
between the internal man and the outer world. This is
the connection as well as the divider between the food-
giving and life-giving cells or the science-based and plea-
sure-based worlds. It has neither length, nor breadth
and nor any thickness. We can call it the window to the
knowledge gathered over time. The entire information
of the entire Universe sent by the sense organs is syn-
thesized here and it is here that the experiences of the
soul and intellect is analyzed and expressed externally.
It is here that the food-giving and life-giving cells are
regulated. This is the soul of the life-giving cells. Along
with wisdom, intellect and arrogance, mind is an equal
participant and member of the innermost experiences.
If we go deep into the issue, we will find that all these
are nothing but the handiwork of the mind that we call
by different names by the various angles from which
they are viewed.
The dividing line between the various internal mem-
bers is very thin. Along with the mind, we also have the
intellect centre. The main source for its imagination is
wisdom. We can call wisdom the superior side of mind
or the enlightened area of the mind. When we are in
the state of reasoning (which can be said to be the state
of pros and cons), then we are at the level of the mind
or within the area of the mind. Wisdom emerges from
here. From the various aspects of pros and cons that
emerge during the state of reasoning, wisdom selects
one and a decision takes birth. On one hand, the work-
ings of the mind push man towards bondage, on the
other hand the workings of wisdom helps him to be-
come free. Whether the decision taken by wisdom is
right or wrong depends on the level of the intellect and
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 21
arrogance. The highest state of intellect is never found
in the tamasik form of arrogance. Inferior level of arro-
gance and inferior state of intellect obstructs the capa-
bility of wisdom of taking the correct decision. The job
of choosing one between the struggle of determination
and non-determination, is very difficult when taken at
the level of understanding, but is very easy and natural
when looked at from the level of technicalities. Wis-
dom, intellect and arrogance are nothing but different
parts of the mind.
Sage Patanjali always used the word ‘intellect’ to
denote ‘mind’. Swami Atmanand Saraswati, a profound
thinker who kept a great pace in ‘yoga’, in his volume
‘Shivsankalp and Vedic Manovigyan’, has given detailed
description of the various divisions of the mind with their
composition and functions. According to Swamiji, the
mind works at five levels, namely: Devman, Yakshman,
Pragyanman, Chetahman and Ghritiman. Even in this,
Gritiman is divided into Pratyagbhan mind, Vishwabhan
mind, and Vashikaran mind. In these, Devman takes
the help of the godly (dev) senses of knowledge to gather
all the information and passes on the message to the
soul. Yakshman is the head of the work organs. By regu-
lating the work organs and translating the internal mes-
sages into work through them is what this mind does.
Pragyanman receives the information of the sense or-
gans from the Devman and takes a decision as to what
has to be done. It then instructs Yakshman to carry this
out through the work organs accordingly. At this level,
the active part of the mind is in reality the wisdom. An
account of the culture and habits that is gained by the
intellect from our work and feelings is kept by the
Chetasman. The fifth, Gritaman is at three levels for
true knowledge, global view, and progress.
What is mind? Even though it is difficult to com-
pletely understand it, we can understand better by the
work done by various on how and what the mind does.
An interesting bit of information given by Sage Gautam
is that the mind cannot give rise to two kinds of knowl-
edge at the same time. That is, when the mind is taking
in the form of the object, it cannot take in its smell and
taste at that instant. However, all these take place at
such small intervals of time that we cannot get to know
where one task ended and the other begun.
The ability of the mind to completely involve itself in
 the good and progress of the man depends on its
health. A sick mind is the biggest obstacle to progress,
peace and happiness. Sage Patanjali has analyzed the
various obstacles that arise in the mind in the form of
insanity, depression, stress, idiocy, fear and illusion. The
study ‘Chitta bhumi - Chitta vridhi’, where intellect is
divided into five segments, is in itself a great work.
In the view of the Yog scholars, our intellect can
exist at five levels, namely: Kshipt, Mudh, Vishipt, Ekagra
and Niradh. When the intellect, reaching the state of
sorrow and perplexity, when we feel that we are at a
loss, then we are at the ‘Kshipt’ level of the intellect.
Because the intellect is mainly under the influence of
Rajas gunah at the ‘Kshipt’ level, it is very restless and
always look outward. Such an intellect uselessly keeps
wandering about. The state of the intellect that occurs
during physical or mental injury or during an illness is
called ‘Mudh’ state. This state of intellect is often in the
grasp of hatred, passion, etc. In reality, Mudh state comes
about when the mind is clouded by Tamas gunah. In
this state, there is no sense of responsibility, and one
gets angry at small things frequently and thus mind gets
involved in useless things rather than focusing on the
actual task. During the worldly events of benefit-harm,
dignity-insult, defect-victory, happiness-sorrow, birth-
death, etc., the intellect that keeps control is at the level
of the Vikshipt. The concentrating of the mind on any
one topic is done at the level of the Ekagra state. Simi-
larly, the level at which the meditative path is changed
is called Niradh. Amongst these, the first three are not
important for the yoga practitioners. However, when
reaching the third state of the intellect, Vikshipt, possi-
bilities of yoga arises. Actually for yogic meditation, only
Ekagra and Niradh levels are required. In the state of
Ekagra, the meditator meditates with the help of yoga
and tries to fix an object in the intellect. In the state of
Ekagra, when the mind is constantly wandering or tries
to rise up, then it automatically enters the state of Niradh.
This is the highest point of purity and reality. It is at this
level that the meditator gets into Samadhi and experi-
ences ecstasy. Staying continuously at this level, the
devotee goes into various aspects of Samadhi. It is at
this stage that the wise meditator reaches the highest
point of Samadhi and becomes free.
Along with the states of intellect, Sage Patanjali has
unprecedented understanding of the functions of the
intellect. Sage Patanjali divides all the various businesses
of the intellect into five classes – Praman Vritti, Viparya
Vritti, Vikalp Vritti, Nidra Vritti and Smriti Vritti. Ac-
cording to sage Patanjali, these are happiness-giving as
well as sorrow-giving. If we take an overview of the
worldly businesses as opposed to the mental businesses,
then we will surprisingly find that here is no mental or
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 22
worldly business that does not fall within these five
classes. The fish-like intellect (mind) keeps jumping up
and down in these businesses and keeps the person
constantly on his toes. These businesses get mixed with
the sensual pleasures and get converted into desires.
This converts good work into sin. However, if these are
calmed down and influenced by the feelings of the soul,
then we get to see the happy outcome. When there is
concord among these businesses, which is also the start-
ing point of the state ekagra, then it does not let the
intellect to be pushed into despair or worry by the ups
and downs of the environment and the chaos.
In the words of Dr Radhakrishna – ‘We cannot
change the wheel of events in the world, or the ups and
downs that occur in society, according to our own wish.
However, we can develop so much will power within
us that they do not have any effect on us and they do
not move us away from our path.’
Our entire worldly and mental business gets carried
out with the help of these five ‘Vrittis’, hence it is very
important that they are a fact, true and regulated. The
reality and truth of these businesses in a man is the best
message for rise. On the other hand, it is also true that
only facts determine the truth. This was very important
for sage Patanjali. This is also the reason why the first
three classes of businesses include proof or fact
(Praman vitti), change or opposition (viparya vitti) and
uncertainty (Vikalpa vitti). These three give stress on
the factual aspect of knowledge and the truth. It is only
proven knowledge that is the true knowledge. These
are later called ‘Pratyasha’ or visible truth or that which
is seen by the eyes, ‘Anuman’ or assumption and ‘Sabd
Praman’ or hearsay or that which is heard with the
ears. This has been discussed seriously in Indian phi-
losophy scholar, Gautam’s Philosophy of justice. We
differentiate the general knowledge that we get from
our senses into the first category, that is ‘Prataksya’.
The knowledge that had come to us through our eyes
and direct senses can now be used by us to make an
assumption. The assumptions made by earlier sages and
the vedic texts are considered are now placed in the
category of ‘Sabd Praman’. An assumption made on
the basis of the form or shape of the object goes against
the truth of that very object. This false assumption with
regard to objects was regarded as ‘viparya’ by Patanjali.
In reality, it is very important that facts should be used
without any illusion. When facts or proofs are touched
by bias and illusion then they will only be fit for ‘viparya’
category. The first two categories of facts and change
are thus dependent on the object, however, the third
vritti, Vikalpa, gives the essence of being without any
objects. To imagine and give shape to an object or topic
in your intellect after hearing about it with your ears is
possible only with the help of this vritti.
The first three businesses of the intellect, namely
Praman, Viparya and Vikalpa are connected with the
alert or awakened state of man, whereas all the busi-
nesses that occurred in the dream and sleeping states
were categorized by sage Patanjali into ‘nidra’ vritti.
The happy or evil dreams that we go through in our
sleep state and the desire-filled and greed-filled ups and
downs we experience during our dreams and sleep are
beneficial or harmful to using the form of nidra vritti.
The dream state of man is filled with unanswered ques-
tion. Apart from saying that our dream state reflects
the unquenched or subdued desires of the awakened
state, the flings that we have absorbed and the desires
of various previous births, I am not in a position to say
anything more. The function of the intellect that col-
lects and preserves all the topics that have been learnt,
experienced or felt in the past is identified by Patanjali
as the fifth class of function called ‘Smriti’ or memory.
In reality, this vritti is an extremely calm function and at
the same time is also very excitable. This can be the
cause of jealousy and also of empathy. While memo-
ries with a resolution can encourage co-existence, re-
petitive memories can lead to oppression.
Sage Patanjali has said that all these functions have
both happy and sad aspects. Only the extremely care-
ful vigilance of these can determine the existence of
distressed and joyous conditions. I appeal to the people
desirous of happiness and exaltation should control the
effect of the functions of the intellect with the help of
yoga. Acharya has also advised the devotees to be care-
ful from the confusing elements that hinder your mis-
sion. There are nine such internal perplexing elements,
namely, disease, uncertainty, error, laziness, want of
peace, delusion. Apart from these, there are four kinds
of sub-elements of obstruction which the devotee has
to face along with the main elements of obstruction.
These are: sorrow, wickedness, physical body, inhaling
and exhaling.
Studying the elements that influence the working of
the mind, sage Patanjali has given another piece of in-
teresting information about the form of the five classes.
The following five elements have an important role to
play in building obstacles in the way of the functions of
the intellect: false knowledge, wrong memory, anger,
hatred and attachment. While trying to gather the intel-
lect or mind, these five hindrances which stick to it are
very difficult to remove. They are always at work try-
ing to make the mind blunt and the intellect dirty. In this
regard, there is another important piece of information
available in yoga texts, and that is the first obstacle,
false knowledge, is the father of the remaining four and
nourishes them. False memory, anger, hatred and at-
tachment have the seed of false knowledge in them
and we can also call them the branches or sub-branches
of false knowledge. In Indian Philosophy, it is this false
knowledge that is considered to be the cause of bond-
age and the hindrance to salvation. In your root charac-
ter, false knowledge is the father of all that which is
false or not in the right place. False memory is of Tamas
nature and gives rise to lower level of arrogance. When
the sharp desire for fame does not materialize then false
memory runs a complete programme of anger and re-
venge under it.

Swami Ramdevji Maharaj is a historic
personality. He has written new his-
tory in the areas of yoga-prananyam
and ayurvedic treatment methods.
In this regard the work done by the
organization established by him
namely Patanjali Yogpeeth and
University, Patanjali Yog Samitis,
Divya Yog Pharmacy Trust and
branches, will be written in golden
letters on the pages of history. He
has written a eternal and indestruc-
tible history of Indian traditional glory.
Another historic aspect of Swami
Ramdevji Maharaj’s personality is the
short period of time in which he has done
this magnificent work. In the time take by
highly qualified management gurus and engineers to
draw their designs or write their ideas on paper, Swamiji
is able to show the complete manifested work within
that timeframe. It is a result of his miraculous personal-
ity that lack of money has never become an issue in the
fulfillment of his work. Whatever task he takes in hand,
Swamiji never fails to fulfill it. Once he starts, he doesn’t
turn back. Losing is something that Swamiji hasn’t learnt.
Napoleon’s motto - ‘Defeat is a word found in the
dictionary of cowards’ – is Swamiji’s inspirational sen-
tence. Swami Ramdev has the courage to blow to
smithereens the rocks that may come up as obstacles
on the way. The coming generations will remember such
a personality for hundreds and thousands of years. By
observing, reading and hearing about the work done by
him, people will continue to be fascinated. With the pas-
sage of time, it is also possible that some of his emo-
tional devotees start worshipping him as God. How-
ever, Swamiji would never want this to happen. Swamiji
is a believer in Gita’s Karmayog and ‘Work is wor-
ship’ is his philosophy.
The vastness, emotion and attractiveness of Swamiji’s
personality do not need any proof. The print, visual and
audio media of today feel themselves honoured when
Swamiji gives them the privilege of telecasting him live.
Every TV channel, newspaper reporter, press reporter

talks about religion, spirituality and
philosophy, he also does not hesitate
to adopt modern technology or sci-
ence. Swamiji adopts everything that
is positive, no matter where it comes
from. Swamiji has declared war on pre-
tence, superstition, rituals and rites, etc that
take place in the name of tradition. He has re-
vealed the truth behind the masks of many a so-called
great man. He is on the side of brotherhood, harmony,
cooperation, equality amongst religions, peace, etc. He
is a staunch enemy of bias based on regions, caste, re-
ligion, community, language, and of terrorism, etc. His
doors are always closed to hatred, jealousy, falsehood,
corruption, etc.
There is an unique coexistence of qualities such as
yoga and spirituality, philosophy, social service, nation
service, humanitarian service, service to all living be-
ings, valour, energy, strength, sympathy, love, devotion,
kindness, ability to fight against bad elements, etc. in his
personality. When Swamiji speaks about Vedas,
Upanishads, scriptures, philosophy, yoga, Samadhi,
pranayam and spirituality, it seems as if the actual com-
pilers of the Vedas are in front of us. When Swamiji
simplifies and explains to us the hidden secrets of yoga
and Ayurveda, it seems as if the great sage Patanjali,
Dhanwantari, Charak and Susrut are themselves in front
of us under a vast banyan tree in a hut making divine
medications. When Swamiji declares war against sins,
torture, injustice, corruption, bribery, idleness, robbery,
betrayal of the nation, widespread ineptitude in gover-
nance, cowardliness, impotency, etc. and calls out to
destroy them, the images of Purushottam Ram and
Karmayogi Krishna take shape before us. When
Swamiji invites us to shoot out at the internal betrayers
 and cheaters who threaten the independence, dig-
nity, unity and vastness of the nation and the external
terrorists and makes a loud sky-piercing noise against
them, making the enemy shiver with fright – the actual
form of brave soldiers such as Maharana Pratap, Shivaji,
Rani Lakshmibai, Tantiya Tope, Chandrashekhar Azad,
Bhagat Singh, Subhash Bose, Vir Sabarkar, Sardar Patel,
etc. appear before us and challenges the enemy,asking
them to step on to the battlefield. When Swamiji calls
upon everyone to make this world disease-free and
healthy, and when he prays for the goodness of the
world in a very pure manner, it seems as if the Lord of
all Lord, Mahadev Shiva has appeared before us. When
Swamiji shows the emotions of pity, love, kindness and
affection towards the poor, orphans and helpless, it
seems as if Mother Parvati has spread her cloak over
the world to protect it from all bad influences. When
Swamiji roars with energy, valour and heroism, it ap-
pears as if Durga has come down to Earth herself. Start-
ing new activities each day, he appears to take the form
of Shri Ganesh. From his wish of protection, caring,
conservation of all living beings, he appears to like the
preserver of the world, like Vishnu. When he speaks
of religion, spirituality, philosophy, spread of the knowl-
edge of the Vedas and Upanishads, social welfare, in-
dependence, etc., it seems as if Maharshi Dayanand
has again come back on this earth in the form of Swami
Ramdev. When he speaks of philosophy, purity, devel-
opment of orphans and the poor, cleanliness, a society
free from disease, sorrow and fear, truth, non-violence,
etc., we see Gautama Buddha, Mahabir Swami, and
Mahatma Gandhi in him. The other qualities of
Swamiji’s personality are; patience as the earth, seri-
ousness like the ocean, speed, energy and enthusiasm
like the wind, thunder like the clouds, energy, valour,
strength like the sun and fire, peacefulness like the moon,
roar like the lion, softness like butter, vastness like the
sky, service towards others like a tree, calmness and
thirst-quenching like the water, nutritious and filling like
rice. He is the one person in whom all such Godly quali-
ties are mixed. The qualities of all the four castes –
Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and sudra are seen in
Swamiji.
Now I would like to throw light on a few points about
Swamiji’s work and projects. Swamiji removes the fear-
fear and diseases from people across the world. Fol-
lowing the saying ‘Vasudeva Kutumbakam’, Swamiji
has made the entire world his home. Just like a true
pilgrim, he travels the world for the good of others, in
both the country and abroad. To regulate his work from
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 26
a central point, Swamiji established the Divya Mandir
(Trust) and the Patanjali Yogpeeth (Trust), the ambition
of which are to reach yoga and Ayurveda to the 700
crore global population along with Indian culture and
words of the sages. The words of the Veda, ‘Krinvanto
vishwamaryam’ will only then become fulfilled. Till the
year 2009, Swamiji had developed up to 1 lakh yoga
teachers and started translating this into work. Under
the guidance of the Patanjali Yogpeeth, Patanjali Yog
Samitis have been established in all districts of the coun-
try. In most districts, at the Tehsil level too, sub-samitis
have also been established. Across the country, there
are over 35,000 yoga classes being run which benefits
over 20 lakh people everyday. Swamiji’s aim is ‘Healthy
India-disease-free world’. To fullfil this ambition and
ensure that the message of yoga and pranayam reaches
each one, Swamiji himself continuously moves from one
corner of the world to another and organizes yoga camps
– teaching people yoga, pranayam, asana, etc. Swamiji
wants to develop a peaceful world – happy, prosperous
and with brotherhood. Where no person dies of hunger,
everyone gets a place to stay, there are clothes on the
body, everyone gets employment, and freedom from
poverty. Amongst Swamiji’s revolutionary thoughts, one
is that the farmers of India should adopt the cultivation
of medicinal herbs and plants along with fruits and veg-
etables. They should made ready raw material for
Ayurvedic medicine. It is also on Swamiji’s minds to set
up units in various places to derive juice from fruits and
prepare pickles. This will give a new face to the Indian
economy. By giving the proper price to farmers, Swamiji
wants the farmers to make ready pickles, juice, sweets,
etc. the consumption of these will not only improve
people’s health but also provide new avenues for em-
ployment to hundreds of people. The income of farm-
ers will increase with the cultivation of medicinal herbs
and plants, and at the same time invaluable foreign cur-
rency too will be saved. To encourage the use of
Ayurvedic medicine (if medicines are to be taken in
serious illnesses), Swamiji manufactures superior qual-
ity and proven medicine in Divya Yog Pharmacy. This
too will provide relief from foreign multinational medi-
cine companies and stop crores of dollars from leaving
the shores of the nation. According to Swamiji,only in
Allopathic medicine, Rs 6 lakh crore is being spent. If
diseases could be controlled with the help of yoga,
pranayam and Ayurvedic medicine, then the country’s
economic problems could be solved in just one instant.
India can again become the golden bird. These are the
kinds of ideas that Swamiji has to improve the rural
economic situation and in fulfilling which he works hard
day and night. In this way, Swamiji is encouraging the
Swadeshi movement and is trying to stop millions of
dollars from leaving the country. In this way, Samiji also
wants to completely ban cow slaughter, intoxicating
substances such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc. because
these accountable for the sorry state of the nation to a
large extent.
Cow is considered to be a mother in Indian culture.
The cow not only nourishes our body with milk, curd,
cream, ghee, etc. but cow’s milk, ghee, dung and urine
also act as medicine. If cow’s dung is used as natural
fertilizer in the fields then clearly we won’t have to use
poisonous chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers act
as sweet poison and the fruits and vegetables that arise
with its use are the carriers of various diseases. Again
we have to spend a huge amount of money in curing
these diseases along with harming our body. The land’s
fertility to decreases and finally becomes infertile. Cow
dung is a very superior fertilizer which not only increase
production of crop but also increases quality.
Similarly, Swamiji calls he cultivator of tobacco and
manufacturers of alcohol, ‘death traders’. The intake
of these leads to TB. Asthma, Hepatitis B, etc, dis-
eases and crores of money of the country in spent in
treating these incurable diseases. Even then people fall
victim to untimely deaths. According to Swamiji, his
programme includes complete ban on cow slaughter,
complete ban on manufacture of tobacco and alcohol,
and adoption of yoga, Pranayam and Indian treatment
methods and agricultural methods based on Ayurveda
to make the country free from disease, sorrow and fear
within just one year and make it capable and prosper-
ous.
Swamiji is all for crushing out terrorists, betrayers,
spies, corrupt people hidden in the country. Swamiji is
in need of a brave, courageous, patriotic, dedicated po-
litical leader who can keep the country’s glory, dignity,
honour and self-respect intact and can keep mother
India’s head high in the world. In this way, Swamiji
wants to establish Indian industries and chase foreign
multinational companies out of the country because these
foreign companies take out a lot of invaluable money
from the country. If Indians start using goods made in
India, then the money of the nation will remain in the
nation and the country will become prosperous. In this
way, Swamiji’s slogan is – ‘Health is our birthright.’
Along with the desire to make the entire country dis-
ease-free and healthy, Swamiji is also trying his best.
According to Swamiji, yoga is a superior life process.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 27
Yoga is a complete life philosophy. Yoga is a complete
treatment science, self-knowledge and self-rule. Yoga
is the path that takes one from bondage to Samadhi.
Yoga is the best way to develop our production, quality,
positivism, etc. Swamiji wants to se India as the most
beautiful and healthy country in the world. Swamiji wants
India’s population to be controlled. Less but more ca-
pable children should be developed. Swamiji wants
cleanliness to be observed in all travel infrastructure,
railway-bus station, airports, tourist spots, hotels and
hostels, all roads, parks and offices, work places and
other public places such as hospitals, schools, markets,
etc. People should understand their responsibilities and
make this country beautiful and clean.
According to Swamiji, only cleanliness, health, sin-
cerity in work and sensitivity will lead to prosperity in
the nation. Swamiji wants to encourage yoga, Ayurveda,
Indian sports, work and exercise in order to develop the
self-reliance of the nation. According to Swamiji, we
should stop using foreign products made with zero-tech-
nology. Swamiji is against non-vegetarianism and for
vegetarianism. He believes in the right of all living be-
ings to live. According to him, we do not have the right
to take the life of any living being. In Swamiji’s opinion,
the religion of the nation is the best religion. Motherland
and mother tongue is even better than heaven. It is
Swamiji’s desire that India becomes the world’s spiri-
tual and economic superpower. Swamiji wants to de-
stroy the germs that have erupted in the nation’s sys-
tem. He wants to bring about a radical change in the
system by destroying the following vices prevalent in
governing bodies: idleness during work hours, incapa-
bility, bribery, red-tapeism, nepotism, corruption, late-
ness, irresponsibility, etc.
After the above-mentioned details, I can say with
surety that Swamiji’s personality is vast and it is impos-
sible to describe it with just a few words. Hi entire life
is a philosophy in which the deeper you dive, the more
invaluable pearls you will get. Swamiji is the creator of
a generation, an ascetic with a revolutionary outlook.
Within just a few years, there are researches going on
in universities across the world on Swamiji, his life phi-
losophy, his personality and work as part of M.Phil and
Phd projects. Really, Swamiji’s personality and work
has now acquired such a vast form that it is impossible
for a single person to present it in the complete form all
by himself. For this, scholars across the world will have
to do deep research and bring forward invaluable gems
from the depths.

 It is better to fight once against ter-

because of it: Swami Ramdev
v Each martyr’s family was given Rs 5 lakh as an
honour.
v The Capital’s brave martyr Mohan Chandra Sharma
was also paid tribute.
v Shanti Yagnas were organized in 21 sacrificial pits
and patriotic poems were read.
Filled with deep love for the nation, Swami Ramdev
gave Rs 5 lakh to the families of the immortal martyrs
who laid down their lives to uphold the honour of the
nation, while fighting courageously against evil and
trained terrorists. This sum of honour was handed over
to the bereft families by Patanjali Yogpeeth in New
Delhi’s Pragati Maidan in a vast ceremony to honour
and pay respects to the departed souls.
The founder of Patanjali Yogpeeth, Swami Ramdevji;
mahamantri, Acharya Balkrishnaji; Swami Muktanandji;
commander in chief and senior officers of the National
Security Guards; Anti-terrorist Front’s Maninderjeet
Singh Bitta ji; Chairman of Chatisgarh, Suresh Goyal;
Parliamentarian Chandrakant Khere; Chairman of
Phoolwari, Mahesh Kapoor and well-known social
worker Chowdhury Mitrasen were present in this cer-
emony. On behalf of crores of Indian citizens, the
Patanjali family conferred honour on the families of the
brave martyrs of the National Security Guards, Mumbai
Police and Railway Police Force. The families of im-
mortal martyrs Hemanta Karkare, Vijay Salaskar,
Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Gajendra Singh, Sasank Singde,
Prakash More, Bapurao Durgude, Balwant Bhonsle,
Tukaram Gopal Anbole, Arun Chitte, Vijay Khandekar,
Jayant Patil, Anbadas Pawar, Yogesh Patil, Murlidhar
Chowdhury, Rahul Singde and Mukesh Yadav were
present.
On this occasion, the martyr of the Batala House
encounter in the Capital, Mohan Chand Sharma from
Delhi Police, was also honoured. His wife, Srimati Maya
Sharma was handed the sum of Rs 5 lakh as a mark of
respect.
Swamiji says, “Cowardly, weak and timid people can
never live with self-respect and security. It is better to
fight once against terrorism rather then dying again and
again because of terrorism. India has every right for
self-security. Every Indian now has to instill in oneself
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 30
the valour, courage, sacrifice, energy and self-respect
of Chattrapati Shivaji, Netaji Subhash, Guru Govind
Singh, Maharana Pratap and Jhansi ka Rani. Every In-
dian has to fight for self-respect, has to live with dignity
and has to be prepared to even die for the sake of self-
security. Wake up! Take the vow of national security,
No more solicitation, now fight!’
On this occasion, thousands of people thronged the
Hansdwani Theatre in Pragati Maidan and performed
21 yagnas for the peace of the departed souls as well
as for the strength of the nation.
All the martyr families offered offerings in these fires.
To inspire the feeling of love for the nation in each one,
special poems on the love of the nation were recited by
well-known poets lead by Hariom Pawar. All eyes were
wet after watching and hearing the families of the mar-
tyrs.
It is better to fight against terrorism and become a
martyr rather than die a tortuous slow death because of
terrorism. Perhaps it is with this thought that the brave
martyrs must have reached to take revenge. Dealing
strongly against terrorism is perhaps the best tribute
one can pay these martyrs. This is what Swami Ramdev
said while paying tributes to the martyrs of Mumbai
and Delhi attacks. On this occasion, he gifted the fam-
ily of each martyr a sum of Rs 5 lakh. This money was
from Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust.
Earlier, in Hansdwani Theatre of Pragati Maidan,
slogan such as ‘Long Live Mother India’ and ‘All glo-
ries to the brave young men, the country is proud of
you’ filled the air and the streets echoed with these
slogans. Thousands of people were seen showing their
gratitude to the families of the martyrs with moist eyes.
If someone said that these families were not only of the
martyrs but of the nation, then policies could have been
discussed.
The Hansdhwani theatre was jam-packed. The rela-
tives of the martyrs who had come from Mumbai and
Delhi were seated in the middle. The programme started
with peace sacrifices. Peace sacrifices were performed
by building altars for sacrificial fires. Apart from Yog
Guru Swami Ramdevji, Acharya Balkrishnaji, Swami
Muktanand and anti-terrorist front’s head, M.S. Bitta
was also present. The grandson of Kuldip Singh, Shahid
Bhagat Singh’s brother, namely Yadvendra Sandhu, and
Manindrajit Singh ‘Bitta’ was also honoured. All the

the form of a Yoga Awareness Rally. Teachers, devo-
tees and common people participated in large numbers
to make this event memorable and historic. Apart from
the bereaved families, people were present in great
numbers.
The speakers on the occasion made the martyrs he-
roes of modern India. Every citizen and youth was ap-
pealed to be prepared to sacrifice their lives to annihi-
late the intentions of the jehadis. Speakers said that if
we have to live with self-respect, sacrifice is very nec-
essary today.

Y oga is a life philosophy, yoga is self-regulation,
yoga is a way of life, yoga is the resolution of a disease-
free life and of a life of meditation. Yoga is the highest
form of spiritual knowledge of self-remedy and self-
philosophy. Yoga transforms a man from a dwarf into a
giant or transforms or raises oneself from all forms.
Yoga is not just an optional treatment method but, on
the basis of outcomes, yoga is such a truth that removes
diseases by the roots. In other words, it is not just a
complete treatment method for physical ailments but
also for mental diseases.
Yoga does not treat symptoms as in allopathy but it
removes the root cause of the disease and makes us
healthy from within. To look at yoga simply as a form
of exercise or as the property of one caste that aids in
religious rites is an extremely narrow and ignorant view-
point. We should rise up from selfishness, obstinacy and
ignorance and look at yoga as a science.
According to an ancient belief, it is thought that yoga
awakens the eight chakras and that pranayam removes
the bad culture and sins that have gathered in us over
many lives.
When I studied the scientific background of the eight
chakras and when the ancient Sanskrit words were
compared with modern medical science, I found that
the Muladhar, Swadhistan, Manipur, Hriday, Anahat,
Aagya and Shahashrar chakras are connected with
Reproductive, Excretory, Digestive, Skeletal, Circula-
tory, Respiratory, Nervous and endocrine systems re-
spectively. The work from the Muladhar to the Shahasrar
is similar to the work from the reproductive to the en-
docrine system. With regular and skilful practise of yoga
and pranayam makes these very eight chakras or sys-
tems fit and balanced.
The imbalance in any one system leads to a number
of ailments or disorders. The language may be anything
but the attitude of both science and spirituality is the
same. Language is but a medium for expression of feel-
ings. However, with the self-destruction that occurred
over 400 years of slavery, we now consider Anabolism,
Catabolism and Metabolism to be correct instead of
Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
By not visualizing our tradition, culture and knowl-
edge with self-pride, we are filled with a sense of wea-
riness. By reading the word ‘chakra’ we get moving in
circles but when we read the word ‘system, we feel
ourselves to be very systematic whereas the basis of
ancient and modern knowledge is the same.

-Swami Ramdev
Instead of the Ayurvedic theory of ‘Pragyaparadho
hi Sarvarogana Mulkaranam’ (Charak), we feel ‘stress
is the main cause of all diseases’ is more scientific. Now,
let go of obstinacy and acknowledge the truth. For ex-
ample, with the imbalance of endocrine system, stress
and a number of complicated stress-related diseases
such as heart diseases, blood pressure, depression, obe-
sity, and diabetes etc. are developed. Similarly, with the
imbalance of the skeletal system, over a 100 kinds of
only arthritis can develop and a person falls victim to
muscular atrophy. What I mean to say is that any im-
balance of internal systems is illness and internal bal-
ance is freedom from illness.
By trying yoga directly and indirectly with thousands
of people, I have found that regular practice of the main
eight pranayams according to the correct procedure at
a fixed time and with a determined mind leads to com-
plete balance in our eight chakras or eight systems. As
a result we get a healthy life from yoga. At the same
time, the need for the chemical salts and hormones that
we intake in the form of medicine gradually reduces
because whatever chemical salts and hormones we
have been taking from outside, we now start getting
them from within.
Yoga is not a pigeon-hole like allopathy and is a com-
plete cure. Apart from emergency and surgical treat-
ment, in all aspects of the remaining treatments, yoga is
a superior treatment skill. If Ayurveda is used along
with yoga in the treatment of certain complicated dis-
eases, then the effect is more profound.
Apart from the disease-curing aspects of yoga, the
spiritual aspect is very vast. Hence the principal aim of
yoga is attainment of Samadhi or knowing the divine
truth. With this, anything that comes in the way of at-
taining Samadhi with the help of yoga, such as diseases,
gets ended automatically. In other words, the automatic
destruction of the obstacles of yoga is the by-product
of yoga. We should always remember that the main
aim is attainment of Samadhi. This opinion on yoga is
not merely a Buddhist exercise, any dream, propaganda
or assurance and the use of yoga is very precise and
real. I am assured that in the coming times, the world
will shed its obstinacy and will adopt yoga as its own
and there will develop a peaceful, healthy, sensitive and
prosperous world and nation. Science and spirituality,
material science and spiritual science will grow com-
pletely at the same rate. Religion of the soul and of the
 nation will arise from yoga. The world will move
forward on the path of self-good and global good. People
will shed the identities of caste, community, religion,
region, language, communalism, etc and take up the iden-
tity of the country and of humanity. And India will emerge
as the most superior country in all cultural, spiritual,
economic and social aspects. Feelings of hatred, fear,
desire, discontent, false intellect, anger, extravagance,
etc arises from lack of peace. With the help of pranayam
Chandrashekhar Azad, the immortal martyr who
started the fiery band in 23 July, 1906, was born in
Badarka village in Unnab district in Uttar Pradesh.
His father’s name was Pandit Sitaram Tiwari,
mother’s name was Jagrani Devi. Chandrashekhar
Azad completed his primary education from a school
in Bhavra village in Madhya Pradesh and after this,
he came to Varanasi where he got further education
in Sanskrit.
In those days, Mahatma Gandhi started the non-
cooperation movement to awaken the British govern-
ment. Chandrashekar took a vow to free Mother India
from her shackles and jumped into the freedom move-
ment. Along with him, he also gathered other students
and youth and the group grew up and started taking
part in national activities.
At the age of only 15 years, the English arrested
him. After he was arrested and presented before the
judge, the judge asked him what his name was. With-
out hesitation, Chandrashekhar said, “Azad”. The
second question was the name of his father to which
he replied, “Swadhin”. The third question was about
his address which he replied, “Prison”. On hearing
this, the judge ordered 15 whacks on the back with a
cane. On hearing the word ‘cane’, even very srong
and brave people get the shivers but this child faced
the cane bravely and after each whack, shouted
“Bharat Mata ki Jai” (“Long live Mother India”).
This child became famous by the name of
Chandrashekhar ‘Azad’ and started gathering revo-
lutionist with more enthusiasm.
Chandrasekhar Azad, with his amazing team de-
velopment skills and feelings of sacrifice, held a spe-
cial place among the revolutionaries. Because of his
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 36
and meditation, when people’s minds become peaceful,
then the fear, illusion, hatred, crime, and corruption preva-
lent in the society, nation and the world will also be
removed and there will be regulated rise of devotion
and fall of vices. The only solution to such material de-
terioration is exactly this material outlook. The end of
the age of hatred, crime and sexual madness is only
possible through the global establishment of yoga, oth-
erwise no one can prevent the great destruction.

Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Vijay Kumar
Singha, Bhagwandas, etc.
The British government was terrorized by the in-
creasing revolutionary activities. The English wanted
to stop these activities at any cost. They wanted to
get hold of Chandrashekhar Azad, dead or alive, at
any cost.
At this time, he along with his associates looted a
train near Kakori, which was a great boost to the
morale of the revolutionaries. They now had money
to carry ahead their revolutionary activities. In the
Kakori episode, some of Chandrashekhar’s friends
were captured but Azad escaped.
Chandrshekhar Azad made plans to kill Sanders
with Bhagat Singh. According to instructions by
Chandrshekhar, Bhagat Singh and Batukesar blasted
the bomb in the assembly. After this incident, Bhagat
Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, etc happily kissed the
hangman’s noose.
The British police wanted to get hold of Azad in
someway but he always managed to fool them. On
27 February 1936, Azad was seated in Alfred Park
in Allahabad, when he was surrounded on all sides
by the police on the basis of a secret information.
Despite being alone, Chandrashekhar replied the
bullets of the policemen with his own bullets and
killed three of them. Upon realizing that the bullets
were finishing, he sacrificed himself on the feet of
Mother India to remain forever ‘Azad’.
Chandrashekhar Azad remained free till the last
moment and with the help of his sacrifice, hundreds
of young revolutionaries forced the British to leave
India.

DAYANAND JAYANTI SPECIAL
What and how important was the role of Swami
Dayanand in India’s first fight for independence or na-
tional mutiny? Pandit Jaychandra Vidyalankar wrote his
views on the subject in his book ‘Rashtriya Itihaas ka
Anushilan’. Some of his thoughts were the following –
In the year 1847, he met with a group of ascetics in
Maharashtra, on the banks of the Narmada, and taking
Sanyas from their leader Purnanand Saraswati, he got
the name of Dayanand. Even after this he kept in touch
with Purnanand and his companions and this had a great
impact on the first destination of his life’s journey.
Vidyalankar continues – “In 1855, Dayanand was on
his way to Haridwar to meet Purnanand and at that
time, there was a feeling of resentment impatience
amongst the people of north India for independence.”
We can see that Vidyalankar clearly has some doubts
and even he himself understands that there is some dis-
crepancy of his thoughts. The question is whether
Dayanand had a second meeting with the Maharastrian
Ascetic, Swami Purnanand from who he had taken the
initiation of Sanyas. Was this the same Purnanand to
study under whom Dayanand went to Haridwar? How-
ever, he had become very old and as he was also under
the vow of silence, he refused to teach Dayanand. When
Dayanand insisted, then he wrote on a piece of paper
that he should go to Mathura and meet Virjananad and
study under him to fulfill his desire. Even Purnanand
has his doubts on whether the Purnanand who initiated
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 39
-Dr. Bhavanilal Bhart
Dayanand and the person he met in Haridwar during
the Kumbh Mela are one and the same person. How-
ever, the answer is clear. It is not possible that they
were the same. Swami Dayanand’s guru, Swami
Purnanand hailed from Maharastra while Virjanand’s
guru, Swami Purnashram (that is, Purnanand) was a
Gaur Brahman, whose primary residence was in
Haryana.
Not giving much thought to whether Dayanand’s ini-
tiation guru, Purnanand and the Purnanand he met in
1855 in Haridwar are one and the same person, Pandit
vidyalankar moves ahead – “It may be that Dayanand
Saraswati also went to Haridwar for this problem. Buton
hearing his question, old Purnanand said – My disciple
Virjanand is an expert on this subject. Go and meet him
in Mathura.” Vidyalankar thinks the issue that Dayanand
was concerned about might be how India can gain in-
dependence. Swami Dayanand must have wanted to
get Purnanand’s opinion in this regard but because of
his old age, he did not have nay discussion with Dayanand
on the topic and asked him to go and meet his political-
minded disciple, Virjanand.
The biographer of Swami Virjanand agrees to the
fact that Swami Purnashram was a very learned scholar
of the Ashtadhyayi Vyakaran, Panini’s famous trea-
tise on grammer consisting eight chapters. Devedranath
clearly states that Purnashram was a guide to ancient
texts written by sages such as Panini. It is very clear
 that Swami Purnashram was very respected among
sages and scholars for his knowledge and skill on an-
cient and vedic texts. The writer of ‘Virjanand Prakash’,
Pandit Bhimsen Shastri too writes on him – “(Swami
Purnanand) was very respectful of the Ashtadhyayi
and other texts written by such sages and this respect
was also instilled in his disciples.” From the above it is
clear that Dayanand went to Purnanand to get knowl-
edge on ancient texts but as he was unable to help be-
cause of physical inablities, Dayanand had to go and
meet Virjanand. However, how can it be said that
Dayanand had gone to meet Swami Purnanand with
the intention of getting some ideas on how to remove
British rule in India when the main topic of Dayanand’s
thoughts and discussions at that time was religion and
treatises?
To prove his theory that Swami Dayanand had some
hand in the 1857 mutiny, Pandit Jaychandra in his ear-
lier mentioned book, writes – “Dayanand had plans of
going to Garhwal from haridwa. He decided to go to
Mathura after returning from that journey. However,
returning from Garhwal to Garhmukteshwar, instead of
going south-west, he went south-east. He reached
Kanpur instead of Mathura and he postponed his trip to
Virjanand for the next five years. thus, he must have
come in contact with some very important work in the
interim that pulled him to Kanpur. At that time, in Bithur
near Kanpur, able collaborators were being hunted for
Nanasaheb Ghondopant, who was about the same age
as him. The help of sages and ascetics were of great
value for him. Pandit Jaychandra’s argument is based
on the fact that if Dayanand had to go to Mathura, why
did he go to Kanpur and even after this why, for three
years, did he roam about in the forested banks of the
Narmada in an unidentifiable condition? However, ask-
ing a pilgrimage-loving ascetic of the highest order why
he was traveling through such and such a place at such
and such a time does not have much meaning. Till the
time Dayanand did not decide his life’s purpose clearly,
his travels through the country were totally dependent
on his own wish. Thus, the mention of his meeting with
Nanasahed after arriving at Kanpur is based on imagi-
nation and not fact.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 40
About two years after the failure of the last stage of
the 1857 revolution, in 1860, Swami Dayanand arrived
at the school of Virjanand. According to Pandit
Jaychandra, after the effort of 1857 failed, it was nec-
essary to know the causes of failure and the solutions
and it is for this reason that Dayanand went to meet
Virjanand. This theory too is also again based on the
writer’s feelings and not on fact because the thoughts
and messages of both were based on scriptures. It is
with the strong desire of knowledge that Dayanand went
to the seer of divine wisdom. According to Pandit
Debedranath Mukhoppadhyay, he had heard of the
scholarship of Virjanand while traveling on the banks of
the Narmada. Only one of the above two things can be
true and t is true that he wanted to visit the place of
origin of the Narmada and find out scholars in places
like Kashi before finally starting on a definite study plan.
It is for this reason that he spent four years traveling
across Uttarakhand and on the banks of Narmada. It is
completely baseless that some hidden political desire
emerged which inspired leadership in the 1857 revolt.
Pandit Jaychandra’s theories are entirely based on
his own ideas and imagination. Giving as example the
words of Satyaswarup Shastri of the Adasi Math in
Banaras, he says that the ascetic community has al-
ways been under the impression that Dayanand played
an important role in the 1857 revolt. However, no one
says what is the base of this rumour. The mention of
blowing up of idols by English canons in the year 1914
(Vi.) in the 11th chapter of Satyarthaprakash and the
valour of the ‘Bagher’ people is another imaginary writ-
ing. Based on this, Pandit Jaychandra says – This kind
of thing can only be written by a person who was had
heard or saw the revolution closely and someone who
dearly wished that they had a leader like Sri Krishna
with them. There is no harm in imaginary and deriving
facts but this does not prove that Dayanand played any
significant role in the 1857 revolution.
Shri Pithvisingh Mahatta Vidyalankar, in his book
Hamara Rajasthan, did an excellent job in trying to
establish the involvement of Swami Virjanand and Swami
Dayanand in one way or the other in the 1857 revolt.
Pandit Jaychandra too bases his theories on this above
mentioned book of Mahatta. In the seventh chapter of
Prithvisingh Mahatta’s Hamara Rajasthan, ‘Arvachin
Rajasthan’, the investigative discussion presented to
portray Swami Dayanand as the forerunner of Indian
awakening is as follows:
“Till March 1857, he (Dayanand) kept walking along
the Ganga from Gangotri and Badrinath to Banaras and
wandered through Garhwal, Rohilakhand, Doaba and
Kashi, where secret preparations for the revolt were
being carried out with great intensity by the people. In
May, 1857, he entered Nana’s town of Kanpur and for
five months he kept shifting between Kanpur and
Allahabad. Then, passing through Banaras, Mirzapur,
Allahabad, in March 1857 when the preparations for
the revolt was almost complete, then Dayanand too
moved from Banaras via Mirzapur and Chunar to the
Narmada in the southern direction. Dayanand’s self-
written autobiography on his early life suddenly comes
to an end at this point. He never gave any details of
where he stayed and what he did in the next three years
of the revolution. While it is hard to say what was his or
his group’s role in the mutiny and whether he himself
took any part in it personally or not, it is very clear from
the short description of the dates of his life events given
above that he had every opportunity to be closely in-
volved with the preparations of the revolt. It is hard to
believe that Dayanand’s self-knowledge and sensitive
heart and mind could have remained untouched by this
and that the success or failure of this war had no effect
on him.”
As far as the fact of Dayanand’s autobiography com-
ing to an end at the point of his reaching Narmada, it is
very simple and clear. At the time when this autobiog-
raphy was being published by Theosophist, till that time
he had a good relationship with his publishers. How-
ever, with the passage of time, when the gulf between
the Theosophical Society and Arya Samaj increased,
neither the Theosophist had any enthusiasm for pub-
lishing his autobiography and nor did Swami Dayanand
have any time in his busy life to write the next part of
his autobiography. In between all this, he also passed
away. Therefore this writing remained incomplete.
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 41
However, Mahatta’s query on what might have been
the effect of the failure or success of the 1857 mutiny
on Dayanand is quite significant. Certainly this is a ques-
tion to ponder upon. But even Prithvisingh Mahatta did
not give any definitive answer to this and simply pre-
sented his own views on the subject.
Apart from the above mentioned example, it is also
important to present another discussion from Hamara
Rajasthan. It is Mahatta’s opinion that staying with
Virjanand for two and a half years, apart from studying
the scriptures, the teacher and disciple also had a lot of
discussions on the state of the nation and during these
discussions apart from the two of them, there was no
third person. One does not have anything against this
innocent assumption of the writer but apart from God,
who could have given him the details of what discus-
sions took place between the teacher and disciple, that
too in the absence of a third person? Amen! Prithvisingh
Mahatta’s remaining evaluation of Dayanand presents
his liberal national profile which is praiseworthy as well
as based on facts.
It is also important and necessary to write here that
Pandit Jaychandra Vidyalankar and Prithvisingh Mahatta
had only presented their views as historians what they
truly believed to be unbiased. Along with the possibili-
ties and assumptions that have been stated by them to
prove their theories, they have also stated their interest
in finding out more proof for these views. However,
with the passage of time, some later writers have writ-
ten such fictitious tales based on their innocent state-
ments that it is as if the main inspiration and master-
mind of the 1857 revolt was Dayanand, that the main
people behind the revolt were very close to Swami
Dayanand and he had every opportunity of advising them
and that Swamiji himself rode in front of the revolution-
aries brandishing his sword. It is impossible to know
beforehand where this fertile imagination of the writers
is going to end. However, it is clear that just as no one
has the authority to ignore the historical facts while dis-
cussing the life of someone as great as Swami
Dayanand, so also no one has the right to tear and dis-
tort truth while presenting it.
 27 FEBRUARY: THE DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF AZAD
A fter 15 days of my arrest (Siraj), ‘Azad’ became
a martyr in Alfred Park. I was not outside so I am writ-
ing this on the basis of the description of those who
were outside and the newspaper reports of that period.
At that time, Sukhdevraj was with him and hence I am
giving his version first. Describing the mental state of
Azad during those days, Sukhdevraj writes that Azad
was in a very serious state of mind those days. Com-
panions could not be trusted, and all those who could be
trusted were being arrested one after the other. He could
not understand the game being played by Virbhadra and
Yashpal. This was his condition till 27 February, when I
went to meet him. Azad met me outside the park. When
both of us walked in park, we saw a man, sitting on a
culvert, brushing his teeth. I expressed my doubts about
him to Azad. I went too see him again but by then he
was looking at another direction.
On 27 February 1931, when I came back and sat
with him, he asked me out of the blue, “Have you been
to Burma?” I said yes. “Can a few associates go safely
to Burma from Hindustan?”, he asked. I said I studied
this when I went to Burma. Burma and India were un-
divided and there was no need for a passport to get into
Burma. Whatever discussion I had with Azad in this
regard, I discussed with my friends that very day.
At the time when this discussion was taking place, a
person was seen going to the Mayor College on north
Hill Road. Slowing the discussion, Azad said that was
Virbhadra going. Most probably he hadn’t seen us. When
I turned my head to see, the person had moved ahead
and only his back was visible. I had never seen
Virbhadra. Before this incident on 27 February, once or
twice his name came before me. That too when the
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 42
plan to kill Virbhadra had failed. Till date, I haven’t seen
Virbhadra with my eyes.
The talk was still going on when a car came and
stopped near us, from which an English officer and two
constables in white clothes got down. As soon as the
car stopped, our heads started to ring. The English
officer came straight at us with a pistol in his hands. He
showed his pistol and asked us in English, “Who are
you people and what are you doing here?”
Azad’s hands were on his pistol and my hands were
on mine. Just as the English officer asked this question,
both of us pulled our pistols and replied in bullets.
However, the white officer’s pistol went off first.
The bullet hit Azad in his thigh. Azad’s bullet hit the
‘Gora’ on his shoulder. Bullets rained from each side.
The constables quickly went and hid in the drain.
We too took the shelter of a jamun tree and for a while,
the fighting ceased. At that moment, Azad said, “there
is a bullet lodged in my thigh. Siraj, you run away.”
On the orders of Azad, I looked for a way to es-
cape. On the left hand side, there was a summer house.
Leaving the shelter of the tree, I ran for the summer
house. Some bullets were fired at me but did not hit me.
Just next to the summer house, there was a wire fence.
I crossed the fence and came out on the street. This
street went via the park to the library. I saw a boy going
down the road on a cycle. I got his cycle by showing
him the pistol. From here I went off towards the library
on cycle. From here, wandering around, I reached Chand
Press. The editor of Chand, Shri Ramrakh Singh Sahgal
was a well-wisher of the group. Those days, I used to
work in a department under him here itself. Sahgal also
knew my real name. As soon as I reached I told Sahgal
the true story of what happened. He advised me to sign
the attendance register immediately and go and sit in
my place.
It is with regard to this very topic that Sukhdevraj
came to Jaunpur to meet Batuknath Agrawal. It is from
him that I came to know that Leader’s file of 1931-32
is still safe and can be found on searching. We both
went to Allahabad to look for the records of Azad’s
death as well as Yashpal’s arrest. I brought all this down.
The news of Azad’s matyrhood as published by the
Leader on 1 March 1931 was like this: At 10am on
Friday morning, 27 February 1931, bullets kept flying
for at least 20 minutes. This firing took place between
two revolutionaries and the Uttar Pradesh CID. In this
encounter, one revolutionary passed away and Special
Superintendent of CID, Mr J. R. H. Nat Bower and the
Deputy Superintendent, Thakur Visheswar Singh was
hurt by bullets. It is said that Thakur Visheswar Singh
had seen a person who looked like Chandrashekhar Azad.
Azad was on the run from the Kakori as well as other
incidents of intrigues and there was a reward of Rs
5000 on him. Thakur Visheswar expressed this doubt
of his to CID Legal Adviser, Dalchand. Visheswar Singh
went back to his house in Katra and came back at 8am
in the morning with Dalchand and orderly, Sarnam Singh
to see whether this was the same person that he had
his doubts about.
The party went from the direction of City Road very
cautiously so that no one had any suspicions. He saw
that these two were seated on the footpath on the road
that went from North Hill Road corner to the Public
Library through the park. From city road the face of
the fat person was not clear so he was eager to see the
face.
During this, the two people got up and went towards
North Hill. They crossed Dalchand. Dalchand was sitted
on a culvert and cleaning his teeth. He and Visheswar
Singh had thought of the idea of brushing teeth so that
no suspicion falls on them. Dalchand got a shock but he
went towards the east on North Hill road. Later, he
again entered the park from the direction of the Indian
Press entrance. Dalchand had a good look at the faces
of these two and when Thakur Visheswar Singh re-
turned, he told him about the incident.
Nat Bower gave the following description of the in-
cident to the press – Thakur Visheswar sent me the
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 43
news that he had seen a per-
son in Alfred Park whose face
resembled that of Azad. I
took constables Mohammed
Zaman and Govind Singh
with me. When we reached
the place where the messen-
ger had left Visheshwar
Singh, he was not seen there.
I left the car at a distance and
walked towards the two people. The constables were
behind me. I stood at a distance of at least 10 gauze
from them and asked them who they were. In reply
they took out their pistols and started firing. My pistol
was ready. Just as I saw the fat person is taking out the
pistol, I fired mine just a second before he fired his. The
constables that were with me also fired at the fat per-
son and also at the person with him.
While I was changing the magazine with another,
the fat person shot at me and the magazine which was
in my left hand fell down. Then I ran towards a tree
which was around 10 gauze from there. The constables
went and hit in a nearby ditch. During this, Viveshwar
Singh arrived, crawled behind a bush and fired from
there at the fat person. In reply, the fat person too shot
back which hit Visheshwar Singh on the face.
I could not fill my pistol. As and when I became
visible, the fat person would shoot at me. Finally he fell
flat on his back. I cannot say whether someone shot at
him or he was injured from before. During all this, people
started gathering and a person approached me with a
shotgun. I could not make out whether the fat person
was really dead or was simply pretending. Thus I asked
this person to take a shot at his legs. The person shot.
After this I went towards the fat person and found that
he was lying dead. In between, Rambadan Singh CID,
who was nearby went to the Colonelganj Police Station
and reported that someone was shooting at an English-
man in the park. On hearing this, the officer-in-charge
Rai Sahib Choudhury Vishal Singh left for the park with
a pistol on a cycle along with two armed guards. He
saw someone was firing at Nat Bower, who was shel-
tering behind a tree. He saw a young man coming to-
wards Nat Bower but he later disappeared. There was
a doubt that he was an associate of Azad and had the
intention of shooting at Nat Bower.
 In the meantime,
Dalchand went home and
from there, he sat on a mo-
torcycle and went to the Po-
lice Lines. From there he
phoned the superintendent of
Police, Majors, and sent the
men of the armed Reserve
Police to the park. However,
by the time the policemen
reached the park, the fight was almost over.
While leaving, Nat Bower gave orders for the fat
man to be searched and for post mortem while
Visheshwar Singh was to be taken to the hospital.
In the issue of Leader on 2 march 1931, the news of
the postmortem of immortal martyr Chandrashekhar
Azad was published. This postmortem took place on
Saturday under the supervision of to magistrates, Khan
Sahab Rahman Bakshi and Thakur Mahindrapal Singh.
Later he was also cremated under the supervision of
these two magistrates.
The postmortem of Azad’s body was done by Civil
Surgeon Lieutenant Colonel Townsend. With him were
Dr Gade and Sr. Radhemohan Lal. There were two
bullet wounds on the lower side of the right leg. The
tibia bone was fractured by bullets. One bullet was taken
out from the right thigh. There were two fatal bullets.
One was on the right side of the head and the other
was lodged in his chest which was only revealed during
the postmortem. It is said that the bullet that caused the
wound near the chest made a hole in the right hand
near the shoulder and then pierced the lung and stopped
there. The bullet that hit the head, pierced through the
parietal bone and entered the brain and stopped in the
left side of the lower brain. According to the doctors, it
would be wrong to say that he shot himself. If this was
so, there would have been signs of skin and hair burns,
which were not present.
It is not known whether anyone was called to iden-
tify the body but in CID circles, it is believed without
any doubt that it was Chandrshekhar Azad.
During the time of postmortem, there was armed
police guards and two magistrates. The dead person
was a Brahmin and hence a newly recruited Brahmin
policeman was called from the Police Lines who lifted
the body on to the lorry. The body was heavy and hence
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 44
could not be put on a stretcher. This was kept on the
second lorry. There were armed police accompanying
the trucks. After this, under the supervision of
Abdulsamad, Police Inspector, both the trucks got ready
to go towards the river. In the meantime, Purushottam
Das Tandon arrived. There were some Congressmen
too with him. He wanted to see the body and said, the
relatives of Azad have come. In between, the lorries
started. Magistrate Kadri asked Tandon to meet the
District Magistrate. The fact that the body was being
taken was kept secret. The first lorry went towards
George Town and from there via Stanley Road went to
Rasulabad Ghat where all preparations for the last rites
were done. When a Brahmin was doing the last rites,
some people were searching in Triveni Ghat. The Mag-
istrate told Tandon he did not know where the last rites
were to be performed and the Inspection gave them
the name of Triveni Ghat.
The person who came in the morning from Banaras
and identified himself as Azad’s relative was named
Shivinayak Mishra. He was also a Congress worker. In
the evening meeting he said that he had been to the
District Magistrate to collect Azad’s body. District mag-
istrate asked him to go to the superintendent of Police.
Mishraji had been given permission by the Superinten-
dent of Police for performing the last rites of Azad. In
the meantime, Kamla Nehru and Purushottam Tandon
also reached there. After the last rites were over, Pandit
Mishra took the ashes to the city. According to a sug-
gestion by the students’ association, a rally was taken
out from the Khadi Bhandar. A black cloth was laid on
wooden planks on which the ashes were kept. The
planks were carried on the shoulders of people. Going
through the city, the rally reached the park. The ashes
were scattered all over the city. Under the supervision
of the students’ association, and the chairmanship of
Mohanlal Gautam, a meeting was organized. Shri
Gautam was the head of the students’ association. The
reporters of ‘Bhavishya’ searched the location of the
incident the next day. The tree behind which Azad had
shed his life was heavy with flowers. In a number of
places on the tree, people had inscribed the name of
Azad. It is said that even the soil from the area was
taken by the college boys in memory of Azad.

26 February: On the death anniversary of Savarkar
When Savarkar got certain that he had to bid adieu
to London and had to part from his friends here, he
controlled the feelings that emerged in his heart.
On 29 June 1910, the then home secretary of the
English empire, Winston Churchill, who became the
Prime Minister in time and worked constantly to harm
the Indian independence movement, he ordered Savarkar
to be sent home, and just as Aurangzeb sighed in relief
after imprisoning Shivaji, the British government too
sighed relief after they put him on the ship to India.
Finally the day arrived. On Friday, 1st July 1910, the
HMS Moriya set out on its historic trip of taking Savarkar
from London to India. With the intention of avoiding
any problam that may come up, the ship did not go
through the regular route through France. With an
importent inside it, the ‘Moriya’ sailed ahead, playing
with the ocean waves, when suddenly its pride was hurt.
There was some problem with the engine and near the
Port of Marseilles in France, it had to undergo repairs
and instead of going straight, it had to go towards
Marseilles. At last on 7 July 1910, the ship touched the
Marseilles port.
On 29 June when Churchill gave orders to send
Savarkar back to India, the secret service of the France
government was also given prior notification by tele-
gram about the sea route. Along with it, there was also
a warning that the ship carried a ‘very important pris-
oner’ to India who had a number of revolutionary friends
in France who might try to help him escape. Most prob-
ably the Bristish government had some kind of premo-
nition, to have informed the France government.
The prisoner Savarkar was accompanied by Scot-
land Yard’s Inspector, I. Jone Parker, and assistant
Police superintendent of Bombay Police, Pawar, along
with ten of their security officers. When the ship reached
Marseilles, the Police Commissioner of Marseilles,
Henry Lebaliyas, met Jone Parker and showed him the
letter sent by the London Police Commissioner to the
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 45
Police Chief in Paris. They
exchanged greetings and
news and the Police commis-
sioner assured Parker of all
help required.
Can anyone imagine that a person, a prisoner, with
his hands tied with handcuffed and tied to a pillar will
be able to say anything? However, Savarkar was not
just taking part in normal conversation but was telling
jokes to make everyone laugh. He was narrating his
memories and fascinating them and on this occasion
too he was only telling stories of the great revolutions
around the world and freedom struggles around the
world. Savarkar was trying to impress upon the co-pas-
sengers that freedom fighters should be not treated with
cruelty but with sympathy.
From 1st to 7th July, this was the routine followed by
Savarkar. The ship stopped but Savarkar’s thinking did
not stop. He was planning to somehow escape from
there. From the Port hole, he could see the ocean be-
low. He kept thinking whether his friends got his mes-
sage or not. Have they made plans to free me? Will
they be able to free me? It was on these thoughts that
Savarkar passed his time.
Marseilles was that place, on which songs were writ-
ten that helped to win the revolution. By some quirk of
fate, it was to this very Marseilles that the ship carrying
Savarkar arrived. He wondered whether nature and the
sea were doing all this to help him escape. It was night
and Savarkar had many questions running across his
mind as he lay down. Many thought waves were being
tossed around in his head. His co-passengers were sleep-
ing but how could Savarkar sleep? In Savarkar’s mind,
there were scenes being played of the escape of Krishna
from the prison of Kansa, escape of Shivaji from the
prison of Aurangazeb, etc. Overhead was the free sky
and below was the vast ocean and by observing them
he thought, how can anyone be a prisoner between the
 two of them?
It was dawn and he was still thinking. His thoughts
started to focus. It was as if mother India was telling
him, “Run, run this is the right time, my beloved child!
I do not want you to hang from the hangman’s noose.
My child! Think of Krishna, Shivaji, Napoleon and Alba.
Run, run! This is the time. You are no mouse that can
be trapped so easily. You are the leader of a revolution-
ary group. If not now then never.”
It was morning. Parker was not fully awake.
Savarkar told Parker that he wanted to go to the toilet.
Parker told th officer near him to take Savarkar to the
toilet. Two head constables, Mohammed Siddiq and
Singh kept watching him. Singh was peeping in the door.
Savarkar locked he door from inside. Even then it was
possible to look through the glass. This glass was in-
stalled as a special precaution for Savarkar.
Savarkar did not have any time to waste. At this
time, his work was going exactly according to plan at a
fast rate. He removed his night gown and placed it over
the glass so that no one can see him from outside. Tak-
ing off his sacred thread, he measured the circumfer-
ence of his body and then he measured the diameter of
the hole through which he had to go down to the sea.
As soon as the measurement were done and he got to
know how much he would have to squeeze his body, he
applied soap on himself in the blink of an eye and jumped
at the port hole. As soon as he entered the port hole, he
was suddenly splashed in the water. He shouted in a
loud voice, “The Goddess of Freedom! All glories to
you!”
It was Savarkar’s bad luck that a police officer had
seen him. He tried to open the toilet door but it was
closed from. He shouted, “Fugitive! Fugitive!”. There
was a rush all over the ship. From everywhere inside
voices could be heard saying, Catch him, beat him.
People were running all over. Savarkar could hear bul-
lets raining down. Some people were running on foot.
This was the testing time for Savarkar’s swimming and
diving training. Savarkar dived inside water to protect
himself from the bullets. In this way, diving and swim-
ming, he reached the shore.
This ocean shore was not in England but within
French boundaries. On reaching the shore, he started
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 46
running when he saw French soldiers in front of him.
By this time, the voices from the ship shouting, catch
him, thief, thief, became all the shriller. He went up to
the soldiers and asked them to take him to a lawyer.
Savarkar did not know French and the soldiers did not
know English. Savarkar tried to explain it to him in bro-
ken French. Finally, he somehow understood and would
have taken Savarkar to a lawyer when the English sol-
diers running after him reached the place. Savarkar
wanted to run from there and take a ride but he had no
money and the soldiers had reached near him and held
him by the neck. Pulling him by the neck, he was taken
back to the ship.
This was clearly breaking of rules by the English
soldiers but who was there to listen? While Savarkar
was on French soil, the English could not make him a
prisoner. However, there was no friend of Savarkar
there. The British security authorities made him a pris-
oner again.
It was the bad luck of the nation and of Savarkar
that exactly at the time when Savarkar was taken pris-
oner again near the French soldiers, many of his friends
including VVS Iyer, Sardar Singh Rana and Madame
Cama, etc. were just about to reach the port with all
preparations to help him escape but when the nearby
Railway crossing was closed suddenly and they had to
wait for half an hour. This half an hour’s wait proved
meaningless. It was then that people gave him the title
of Veer Savarkar. It was this half an hour’s wait that
indirectly lead to Savarkar’s imprisonment for half a
century.
On the morning of 8th July, this fascinating story of
Savarkar’s courage spread across the seas. In this way,
all the newspapers of the world mentioned about India’s
independence. In a way, the news of the escape of
Savarkar through the port hole and his recapture spread
like wild fire in the jungle of newspapers and the sparks
were seen over the entire universe. People who thought
India to be a land of snake charmers and sages and
ascetics now opened their eyes wide, their ears stood
up and the entire world was stunned to see the bravery
of this young man.
Not only in England, but all over France, Germany,
Russia and America, in all small and big newspaper,
this was front-page news and a number had also writ-
ten editorial on it. A number of letters also showed anger
at the British government. The newspapers compared
Savarkar with Mussolini and Garibaldi, and praised his
courage, sacrifice and renunciation. This attempt to
escape by Savarkar was not just unique and admirable
till that time but was far better and courageous than
attempts made by Churchill, De Valero and Subhash in
latter times. This is unique till day in the history of revo-
lution.
While Savarkar’s praises were being echoed across
the globe, the eyes of the British administrators were
red with embarrassment. The police in the ship had al-
most gone mad. They welcomed him back on the ship
with as many vile words as they could say, and finally
they said, “God knows which seed gave rise to this
Savarkar friend.” From that point, a soldier with a loaded
revolver stood in front of Savarkar at all times. But
Savarkar was one who got worried. Even on this occa-
sion, he told the police officer very bravely, “Look, you
are taking me to a prison, but keep in mind that I will
still try to escape even now. If you want to live a happy
and peaceful life with your wife and children, then it
will be better for you not to insult me in any way and
nor touch me in any way. I have already burned my
house and I will not stop at anything to take revenge on
any insult to me, no matter what I have to do.

` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 47
 Man is full of various strengths.
These various strengths, including mental,
physical, spiritual, etc. are all merged together
in him. It is by using these qualities that man achieves
success in his life. The journey of human life moves
ahead with valour, power, bravery, determination and
strength of opinions. When the strengths of unshakable
faith and belief are added to a complete man with all
the other strengths, then he can make successes out of
all great tasks. The RigVeda says:
vgfeUæks u ijk ftX; bn /ue~
u e`R;os¿o rLFks dnkpuA
lksefeUuk lqUoUrks ;kprk olq
u esa iwjo% l[;s fj"kk/uAA ½Xosn 10 48 5
I am Indra. I am never defeated. Death can never
destroy me. O producers of the Som Ras, worship me.
In my friendship, you will never be harmed.
All traditional opinions have taken birth in faith. When
our experiences are linked with faith, then the birth of
belief takes place there. When belief becomes strong,
then it can take us to our highest peak, no matter which
form that highest peak may be in, in the form of any
kind of progress.
The stronger the faith, the deeper the belief, the
nearer you will get to your aim, whether that aim be
material or physical health, be it spiritual because by
whatever name you call the Lord, your faith and belief
towards Him makes it stronger in that direction. The
Omkar form of the godlike man is got as a blessing
from that very faith and belief. In the Gita, god himself
has said,
;s ;Fkk eka izi|Urs rkLrFkSo HktkE;geA
ee oRekZuqorZUrs euq";k% ikFkZ loZ'k%AA vè;k; 4 KkuekxZA
Whosoever comes in front of me in whatsoever form,
I make him my own in that form. Hey Arjun! Man fol-
lows my path from all directions. In the Gita, Sri Krishna
says, whosoever will think of me in my different forms
and will always have belief on me, I too will sympathize
with the person.
Just as faith gives rise to respect, similarly a person
with doubt si life a weak wave in the ocean, which is
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 48
- Dr. Promila
blown hither and thither by the wind. If spiritual strength
is added to belief, then it is possible to everything in life.
In The Bible, it says, “If you have within you as much
faith as a mustard seed, and you ask the mountain to
move, it will move.”
A person who believes does not admit defeat ever,
no matter how many obstacles come his way. He takes
rest only when he reaches his goal. The biggest ob-
stacles on the road cannot block his path.
If scientists did not have any faith on their work and
did not have belief on their research, then those research-
ers who helped life to progress so much, would not have
made any inventions. All the discoveries and inventions
are the result of man’s faith and belief. In a person full
of belief, there are three things that do important work.
These are: determination power, sharp thoughts and in-
human courage.
Belief is the biggest strength on the spiritual level. If
you have faith on God, then you will see God himself in
the vast expanse. God is only obtained by those who
have the belief that divine power exists in every dust
and every stone. Vishwaguru Swami Vivekananda de-
scribes the power of belief in this way: “The history of
the world is the history of a few men who had faith
upon themselves. It is belief that awakens the divine
powers inside us, and then man can do anything. When
a person loses faith on himself, he is immediately in the
clutch of death at that moment. First believe in yourself
and then on God. A handful of powerful men can turn
the world upside down. Always remember that there is
an entire universe inside each person.”
These words of Swami Vivekananda appear so true
and fitting when applied to Swami Ramdev and Acharya
Balkrishna. Today the entire world, not just India, have
deep faith and belief on the words of Swami Ramdev
and Acharya Balkrishna. It is this faith that is keeping
him away from deadly diseases and is making him rise
in the mental, physical and spiritual level and is remov-
ing the feelings of caste, religion, community, etc. from
the heart and is helping make the person a noble citizen
of the nation.
If you have faith on pranayam, if you believe in
Ayurveda, then you will be able to kill the deadliest of
all diseases such as cancer. On the other hand if you do
not have faith on the treatment procedure of the best
doctor, then you will take a long time even to recover
from very small illnesses. The hidden diseases and hid-
den illnesses spread over the body reduce by them-
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SOLDIERS HAD TO SIT ON HUNGER-STRIKE: SWAMI RAMDEV
Full of love for the
nation, appealing to the
ex-servicemen to end
their hunger strike and
protest in Jantar Mantar,
Delhi, Swami Ramdev
said, “It is unfortunate
that our brave warrior
soldiers who have sacri-
ficed everything for the protection of mother India
both in times of war and peace and who are involved
in rescuing people from dangers, are being required
to sit in protest and humger strike for fulfillment of
their just demands.”
During the meantime, the chief administrator of
‘Patanjali Yogpeeth’ Acharya Balkrishnan wrote in
the appeal letter that all the patriots along with
Patanjali Yogpeeth are appealing to the Indian gov-
ernment that the just demands by the ex-servicemen
for the present servicemen should be immediately
accepted as proof of its sensitivity. Patanjali Yogpeeth
will forever sympathize wit the just demands of the
ex-servicemen.”
This letter was handed over by Swami Ramdev’s

depths of your mind that the particular disease in you
will get destroyed by itself, it surely will.
The following stanza from Rig Veda again fits Swami
Ramdev – “Such a person attains God whose heart is
free from doubt and whose heart if filled with belief.”
Come, let us all have sharp feelings, inhuman strength,
and unshakable faith. With the support of this faith and
belief, you will go ahead in the various fields of life and
increase the glory of your nation in the world.

 Kamlesh Kumar Arya ‘Agnihotra’
According to Sankhyadarshan, Volume 6 Verse 16,
written by Sage Kapila, ^izdkjkUrjklaHkoknfoosd ,o cU/%*
false intelligence (ignorance-false knowledge) is the root
cause for bondage. About false knowledge, Sage
Patanjali clearly says in Yogdarshan, verse 5, that
¶vfuR;k'kqfpnq%[kkukRelq fuR;'kqfplq[kkRe[;kfrjfo|k¸false
knowledge is when we believe the temporary to be per-
manent, the impure to be pure, sorrow to be happiness
and the unconscious to be conscious.
Maharshi Dayanand, in his third advice from Pune,
calls the ‘sensual power’ to be false knowledge, this
means only because of false knowledge, the soul gets
attracted towards worldly pleasures and gets trapped
in the cycle of life and death. Hence, one who is desir-
ous of salvation should definitely try to always be care-
ful against form, taste, smell, touch and words.
The scholars from the Vedic age used to protect
their desire for salvation from being spoiled by sensual
objects. This was, however, during the middle age, at-
tention was not given to this point and hence a number
of people on the path to goodness became controlled by
their senses and still are.
In our country, a lot of discussion takes place on
salvation, In programmes organized in the name of spiri-
tuality, speakers give a lot of advice on rituals-rites, medi-
tation-penance, fasting, bathing in rivers and ponds, pil-
grimage, idol worship, etc. but they do give special at-
tention to false knowledge, in other words to protection
from sensual objects, whereas rites and rituals have
nothing to do with salvation.
I go to the extent of saying – the person who is
under the control of his sense organs, might continue
doing pranayam, sacrifice, meditation, retention, and ful-
fillment of Samadhi, but will never get salvation from
nature. That is a person who is totally involved in false
knowledge or sensual pleasures will never be able to
escape from the cycle of life and death without pro-
tecting oneself from such pleasures.
The root cause of restlessness in the world is again
‘sensual pleasures’. It is for this reason that human brings
get involved in sins such as theft and armed robbery,
adulteration in food items, cheating, giving and taking of
bribes, rape, and killing of living beings. People in con-
trol of sensual pleasures spoil their world and the other
world.
I know of such people who consider themselves con-
nected to the Lord and like the common people also
made an effort to enjoy sensual pleasures. Thus the
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 50
belief becomes strong that it is not easy to burn these
values and culture that have come down from genera-
tion to generation.
According to my opinion, those who in reality want
to free themselves from this noose, they should protect
themselves from these five things. Now I will present
before you the effects and outcome of these five top-
ics: form, taste, smell, touch and word.
Form: There are many things in this world that hold
their own special positions in beauty, in other words they
captivate the mind (attract the beholders towards them-
selves), so much so that some very learned and medita-
tive people have been affected by this.
We can know to what extent ‘form’ has tied us up
by looking at the beauty-enhancing products available
objects in the market. A lot of people nowadays are
spending a lot of money and time on decorating this
mortal body out of fascination of ‘form’. Clothes should
be worn to protect the body according to social norms,
however because beautification has been given first
priority by the sense of form, and artificiality has re-
placed naturalness.
Varieties of clothes draw attention towards the form,
and thus lead to lack of simplicity in the life of a person
who is under the control of his senses. This attraction
of beauty even takes man towards sins like prostitution,
adultery and incest. In ancient times, the precious metal
and stones such as gold, silver, diamond, etc were used
for health reasons and not with the intention of decorat-
ing the body.
According to historical sources, it is known that beau-
tification was part of Vedic life, that is, our ancestors of
those times did love beauty, but were not fascinated by
it. I do not consider anything perceived by the senses
such as ‘form’ to be harmful, what is harmful is the
power of the senses. Hence, everyone who is desirous
of salvation should definitely protect oneself from this
otherwise he or she won’t be able to escape from the
cycle of reincarnation.
Rasa: According to my opinion, ‘Rasa’ is the stron-
gest among all the five senses. Everyone, that is old,
young, children, aged, Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya,
Sudra, student, householder, retirees, ascetics, that is all
human beings are tied by this. To get rid of this, special
effort is required.
We see that with increasing age of the body, the
power of eyes, ears, etc. become weak, however, taste
(tongue) continues to be strong till the last moment of
life. This is the reason why man hankers after fulfilling
the demands of taste.
The strength of this taste-sense is being proven by
the various foods, nutritious as well as non-nutritious,
available today. It is because of this fascination for taste
that leads to the killing of millions of innocent living be-
ings everyday. Majority of the diseases come about
because of uncontrolled satisfaction of taste. It is be-
lieved that the main reason of ill-health is indulgence of
taste.
To protect oneself from the sense of taste, students
and ascetics of ancient India used to at whatever they
got as alms – they had no prior knowledge of what will
they get, from where and when. That is there was no
question of getting food according to what their tastes
dictate.
A very simple way to protect onself from this sense
of taste is to eat food to live and for health and not for
the satisfaction of the tongue – ‘Eat to live, do not live
to eat’. Do not demand any food that is tasty for you,
nor have any prior knowledge of the food that you will
have later.
Do not have too many dishes at the same time be-
cause strength is not got from eating but from digest-
ing. In other words, do not eat a lot – ‘Eat less, digest
more’. Eating foods with opposite nature harm the body
so take care to have less variety of food on your plate.
Smell: For the ties of the sense of smell, uncount-
able flowers and other good-smelling substances are
destroyed everyday and obstruct the path of air purifi-
cation. That is the demand for ‘itar’ and perfumes an-
nihilate a number of flowers that are beneficial for health.
Luxury-loving people used perfumes and scents as
the outcome of their attraction towards the sense of
smell. Perfumes are not harmful, what is harmful is the
fascination for consumption of such products. Just as
people attracted by the sense of taste tend to eat a lot
to satisfy the tongue, so do people who are attracted by
the sense of smell use a lot of scented products.
In ancient times, flowers were not plucked. Flowers
that fell down from the plant naturally were used for
preparing garlands, hair pieces, sacrificial offerings, etc.
Our Vedic tradition does not hold plucking of flowers in
good stead.
The purification and scenting of the atmosphere by
lighting sacrificial fires is considered necessary for
health. The smell of floral offering does not tie down
anyone. I am again clarifying that no sense is bad, what
is bad is being under the control of the senses. There-
fore, do not ever try to satisfy the sense of smell even
by mistake if you are on the path to salvation.
Touch: The sense of touch has under its control
almost all men and women of this world. Associated
with the skin, it is extremely difficult to gain victory over
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 51
this destroyer of the Brahmacharya vow. It is because
of this that people fall ill and die before time.
This sensual power destroys the intellect of every-
one. Men and women under its control cross the limits
of ideals and sobriety. It is as an outcome of the ties of
‘touch’ that people move towards a libertine attitude.
The strength of this sense makes people character-
less, and because of it, many men and women lose their
power of reasoning and destroy themselves. Most of
the people know very well for themselves how danger-
ous the fascination for touch is.
According to my opinion, it is necessary that a per-
son who wants to attain goodness to pay special atten-
tion to self-mortification. They need to avoid ‘touch’ to
whatever extent possible. They should take precautions
such as avoiding asanas that are highly ticklish, as well
as beds, wearing loose clothes, etc.
Words: The effect of word is also no less. It is a
proven fact that poets and orators spellbind the audi-
ence by their words. We see in our daily life – with the
use of words, strangers become friends and friends
become strangers. Words are helpful both in uniting and
dividing. It can be the cause for friendship and enmity.
Word has a very important role in bringing peace or
restlessness to the family, society, nation and the world.
Everyone knows that bitter words lead to destruction
while sweet words lead to goodness.
A person who is tied down by words cannot hope to
attain divinity. Manu Maharaj has written – “In the world
of renunciation, one should move away from praise as
if it is poison and lick up criticism as if it is nectar.” It is
also very difficult to free oneself from the inactivity of
words.
One who becomes sad or happy by hearing harsh or
soothing words cannot ever become free because kind
words will bring about passion and unkind words will
bring about hatred. Hence, one who is desirous of sal-
vation should be attracted by words. Yes, it is very nec-
essary to pay attention to beneficial words because
words of goodness are not a cause for bondage and on
the other hand is helpful in attaining salvation.
One who is on the path to freedom should not have
any desire to hear praise for oneself. Admirers do not
help in development.
Essence: Just as a skilful doctor diagnoses the dis-
ease before treatment and then gives medicine to the
sick person, similarly it is intelligent to first find out the
reason for the attachment of the soul and then move
ahead for salvation. According to Maharshi Dayanand,
the cause of bondage of the soul is sensual power.
Hence, one who is desirous of salvation should try to
protect oneself from deterioration by the senses, and
not run away from home.

In some ancient times, Sage Angira had given knowl-
edge on the aforementioned theories. This cannot be
read by an individual without the power of determina-
tion.
This Upanishad, while describing worldly wisdom
and supreme knowledge, says that work-related
branches such as sacrifices, etc form worldly wisdom
– these cannot be used to obtain Supreme Knowledge,
Fats, vitamins, minerals, salt, protein, carbohy-
drates, etc. have extremely important roles in our life.
In a way, all substances are necessary for a healthy
life. All these impart strength to our body. Even though
each is equally important, protein occupies the high-
est level of importance. Children obtain requisite
growth only because of protein. It is protein that builds
elements in our bodies. Proteins contain hydrogen,
sulphur, carbon, phosphorus and oxygen along with a
high quantity of nitrogen.
Protein is obtained from the following:
v Milk, curd, pulses, rice, paneer, etc.
v Products with soyabean, peas, Bengal gram, pea-
nuts give us lot of protein.
v Groundnut oil has 50% protein.
v Soyabean has 40% protein quantity.
v Wheat bran also gives us adequate quantity of
protein. Let me tell you that wheat has 11.8 %
protein in it. Without bran, the quantity of protein
reduces.
v Green, leafy vegetables also supply some protein.
v Protein is also obtained from fruits. Apple has
` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 53
knowledge-related braches such as deep devotion on
the Eternal Lord, etc are the only way to obtain Divine
Knowledge. And in reality, worldly wisdom is non-
knowledge and only divine knowledge counts because
only from supreme knowledge one gets divine wisdom.
The world is propagated by Brahma or the Supreme
Lord – what does this mean? How does this propaga-
tion take place? On this, it has been said – just as a
spider spins a web by taking out the substance from
within itself. The web that a spider spins is taken out
from within itself, from itself, not from its element or
consciousness. The Supreme Lord also uses His body,
and nature is His body, to create this world. On this
concept of duality, there are two birds that live in the
tree of nature. This point of view, that is in this
Upanishad, can be understood.)

proteins.
Usefulness of Protein:
Protein is very useful in our life.
v Bones get strength from proteins
v Both the old and very young need proteins.
v Protein is also very important for pregnant ladies
and lactating mothers.
v Growing children need a lot of proteins.
v Teeth and gums get strength from proteins.
v Cells become stronger with the help of proteins.
v Paralysis patients get a lot of relief with the help
of proteins.
v Proteins prevent a lot of major diseases from oc-
curring.
v Protein prevents rickets disease.
It is during the winters that a greater quantity of
protein can be taken. A lot of heat is given out by
proteins so it is better to reduce the intake of protein
during the summer season. It is also good to take pro-
tein in limited quantity during the rainy season.

Summary: When a yogi encounters the culture and
habits of his past births, his past lives become as clear
as the present one to him. From this, the yogi is ben-
efited in the way that just as one avoids mistakes in the
present life by remembering his past misdeeds, the yogi
is also able to avoid misdeeds of his previous lives such
as lust, anger, attachment, etc. by clearly remembering
them.

edge of another’s intellect; Salambnam: with the object

tellect; Avishayibhutatvat: if it is not the subject of control.
 Verse meaning: When control is exercised over
another’s intellect and mental disposition, knowledge is
obtained of the other’s mental setup. However, this
knowledge of the other’s thoughts is not known in con-
nection with specific objects and subjects unless con-
trol is exercised over the intellect with that specific
object and subject as the target.
Summary: A yogi can control another’s thoughts
and get the knowledge whether a particular person is
full of hatred or anger, whether that person at that point
of time is in the grasp of arrogance or greed. However,
the yogi cannot know which object, person or idea the
other person is feeling angry, etc. about. The reason for
this is that the mind under the yogi’s control at that
moment is not the intellect linked to the object of ha-
tred-anger, etc. Yes, when control is exercised over the
mind along with the specific object, then all these too
can be known, that is which person or object is causing
the anger, hatred, etc.

Appeal: O lord! My voice has been given to me for the utterance of your name. I continuously take
your pure names. I cannot do anything else with this voice that you have given me; any meaningless
word, any ungodly word, cannot be uttered by my voice. In every word that I utter, your rhythm is
present, you are present. O Indra! In this way, in various ways, I keep chanting only your names. If I do
not do this, how will I defeat my enemies? How will I be protected against them? It is only by uttering
your names continuously that I have gained victory over my many enemies and will do so. My biggest
enemy is ‘Arrogance’ and nowadays I am proud that your name has been my biggest weapon in defeat-
ing this enemy. Even when man has conquered all his other enemies such as passion, anger, etc. and has
reached a high level of spiritual growth, even then it is this arrogance, vanity and pride that do not leave
him. It is this that keeps fighting with the soul till even a little bit of false knowledge remains. O my Lord!
It is this that keeps me away from you till the end. When man reaches great heights, if not for anything
else, he feels arrogant about his non-identity and on being a pure soul. It is this arrogance that is capable
to completely destroying a man. O eternal valour! O eternal knowledge! This is why I continuously chant
your name, I go around keeping your holy name on my tongue. If I say “I did this” then immediately I join
my hands and your name leaves my lips. In this way, I protect myself from my great enemy. Your name
brings me down and as soon as I remember your name, I bow down my head and touch the ground. Then
I find that powerful arrogance disappearing in a moment, and he is not visible for hundreds of miles
around me; the entire world is full of you and I am at your feet. At that time, I become a small speck of
dust on the feet of your earthly body and I am able to experience the utmost supreme ecstasy. O Master!
How do I describe the insurmountable greatness of your name!

‘Patanjali Yogpeeth’ pays tribute to the valour of
the martyrs
India is a country of brave youth. We are believers
in the slogan of ‘Live and let live’. However, we cannot
tolerate injustice.
After the independence of India, the terrorist attack
on India’s industrial capital, Mumbai, is the biggest
attack Entering the country via sea route, these man-
killers made the country’s heritage buildings such as
Taj Hotel, Oberoi hotel and Nariman house into pris-
ons and the hundreds of people, both Indian and for-
eigners, among which even women and innocent chil-
dren were present, were taken as hostages. Before tak-
ing these people as hostages, the terrorist wandered
through the crowded locations of Mumbai such as rail-
way stations, markets, etc. and opened random fire on
innocent bystanders. So much so that they did not even
leave hospitals alone.
In exactly opposite circumstances, the way our brave
soldiers took revenge on these terrorists without wast-
ing any time, and gave up their lives to preserve the
honour of the nation, is without precedence. ‘Patanjali
Yogpeeth’ salutes their brave spirits.
The families of the martyrs of this terror attack were
honoured on 15 December 2008 in New Delhi’s Pragati
Maidan. Swami Ramdevji gave each of the bereaved
families a draft of Rs 5 lakh. On this occasion, the audi-
ence had tears in their eyes after listening to the words
of the mourning families.
The father of Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was
present on the occasion, said that he was sorry that he
had just one son to sacrifice for the nation but now he
feels that Sandeep is alive in each child of the nation.
ATS chief, Hemant Karkare’s daughter, Juhi
Devdutt Navre said initially she felt sorrow at her
father’s death but now, after seeing the feelings of the
people of the nation, she feels proud.
Vijay Salaskar’s daughter said that till date she is
not able to believe that her father is not coming back
because he left the house eating and said he would be
back soon.
On this occasion, Respected Swami Randevji said
that now is not the time for solicitation but for war. The
Indian government should find out the address of the
terrorists and destroy them. It is the duty of each citi-
zen of India to stand with the families of the martyrs.

Indian knowledge:
Anirudh Jaganath
The honourable President
of Mauritius, on a visit to
Patanjali Yogpeeth said that
the benefit received by people
from the health processes of
Yoga, Ayurveda and
Pranayam being organized in
Patanjali Yogpeeth under the
direction of Swami Ramdevji
Maharaj and under the supervision of Acharya
Balkrishnaji Maharaj, is invaluable.
He said that the cultural, spiritual and medical re-
quirements of Mauritius can be fulfilled through the
medium of Patanjali Yogpeeth. Both nations would be
mutually benefited by cooperation in medicinal herbs
research, yoga, Ayurveda, cultural and spiritual train-
ing. He said that with the help of yoga and Ayurveda,
Swami Ramdevji Maharaj and Acharya Balkrishnaji
Maharaj are giving a new birth to lost Indian knowl-
edge. This is a big task. The research work being car-
ried out in Patanjali Yogpeeth is praiseworthy. Here it
can be seen how traditional knowledge is going hand in
hand with modern medical science. He said that he is
emotionally overwhelmed after coming here.
He expressed his desire to Swami Ramdevji of start-
ing research work on the medicinal herbs found in
Mauritius. Condemning the terrorist attacks in Mumbai,
the President said that terrorism is dangerous not only
for India but for the world. Mauritius is with India on
the issue of stopping terrorism.
On this occasion, Swamiji Maharaj said that we
should not remain quiet any longer on the issue of ter-
rorism. Something should be done to destroy the spirit
of the terrorists. The honourable President had come
on a visit to Patanjali Yogpeeth with his wife, shrimati
Sarojini Jagannth. Shri Jagannath was given a hearty
welcome on reaching Patanjali Yogpeeth. On his ar-
rival, the head of the Trust, Swami Ramdevji Maharaj
and many other members of the Patanjali Yogpeeth gar-
landed him and gave him a warm welcome. With him
was his secretary Medha Ganpat, High Commissioner,
Mauritius, Shri Mukeshwar Chunni and Vikas Nithalia,
PSO, Shri Shokun and Shri Achraj, Shri Suresh
Rambarna, Shri Ravi and Sushri Mishlin was also
present.
He got information about the progress and
programmes of Patanjali Yogpeeth from Swami Ramdev
ji Maharaj and then visited the various departments, sub-
 departments, OPD, Internal
patient department (IPD),
Pathological treatment and re-
search laboratory, radiology

surgical and research centre,
ophthalmic research and treat-
ment centre, Panchkarma re-
search and treatment centre,
Satkarma research and treat-
ment centre of Patanjali
Yogpeeth along with the nearby situated herbal garden.
While visiting the library, he was immensely happy to
see such a vast wealth of Vedas, Upanishads and old
and ancient texts. Observing the laboratories with mod-
ern equipment, he said the Trust is establishing new
standards even on scientific grounds. Apart from this,
the President also visited Patanjali medicinal garden and
Agricultural department and the Trust-run huge medici-
nal units. He said that the revolution that is being orga-
nized to give a new birth to yoga among the people is a
blessed sign for Indian culture.
Influenced by the various activities of the Trust, he
said that the organization is doing an invaluable task
under the leadership of Swami Ramdevji Maharaj and
Acharya Balkrishnaji Maharaj and this is the absolute
truth.

casion of the death anniversary of martyr Ramprasad
Bismil, who along with his wife Sarojini Jagannath lit
the lamp.
Giving stress on empowerment of maternal strength,
he praised yoga, Ayurveda and the organization. Along
with this, he also invited Swamiji to visit Mauritius. During
the camp, training of satkarma such as Jal neti-suta
neti, Sankh Prakyalan, etc. was also done for the broth-
ers and sisters who came from 600 districts of the coun-
try. Along with knowledge of yoga, pranayam and
Ayurveda, Maharaj ji gave special stress on the strength
and pride of maternal power. With the special aim of
developing a pure character in each citizen of the na-
tion through the mission of ‘Healthy mind, healthy body
and healthy thoughts’, all the brothers and sisters present
in the special training camp took five oaths:
1. 100 per cent voting
2. 100 per cent renunciation of foreign items made with
zero-technology and 100 per cent adaptation of In-
dian items.
3. 100 per cent nationalist thoughts
4. 100 per cent company of superior and honest people
5. 100 per cent yoga activity in the entire country
 Stressing on Indian clothes and apparel and use of
national languages in all kinds of work, Swamiji Maharaj
insisted for knowledge of foreign languages such as
English. If someone is betraying my country, robbing it,
running a conspiracy then I too am a culprit in this be-
cause I am not raising any voice against it.
On this occasion, Swami Ramdevji called upon ev-
eryone to take up the religion of the nation. Prior to the
initiation ceremony, there was also a gathering of na-
tional poets in which Hariom Pawar and many other
associates narrated inspirational patriotic poems and
awakened the audience towards nationalism and pa-
triotism.
Stressing on the benefits of Pranayam, Swamiji said
that along with curing physical diseases, pranayam also
shows us the way to reach our inner self. The camp
ended with lighting of a lamp by Swami Shradhanand ji
on 23rd December.

` YOG SANDESH-ENGLISH ` 58
and Acharya Behan suman (Central coordinator

procedures and the future programmes were discussed.
Future projects and ambitions: By following the five
oaths, a new India will be created which will be healthy,
clean, capable and independent, and will be free from
poverty, unemployment and corruption. To reach the
messages of Yoga to each and every member of the
society, in every district we have two mother organiza-
tions (Patanjali Yog Samiti/ Mahila Patanjali Yog Samiti)
and supporting units include youth association, accoun-
tant association, doctor association, lawyers and retired
judges association, armed forces association, farmer
association, traders and businessmen association, work-
ers association, officers association, Labour associa-
tion, Engineers association, and arts and culture asso-
ciation, that is 15 associations will work. The brothers
and sisters from each district have taken the blessings
of Swami Ramdev and have taken the resolution of
developing at least 1100 men and 1100 women Yoga
teachers from each district. Each and every male and
female participants from each of the 600 districts have
resolved to end burning issues such as corruption, hun-
ger, unemployment and terrorism and to build up a new
Vedic India that will be inhabited by sages, farmers,
scientists, technologists with superior culture.
