Ayurveda, the Traditional System of Medicine Gives Equal to Daily Regimen As Well As Seasonal Regimen
Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine gives equal to daily regimen as well as seasonal regimen. Both are dependent. Because we change our daily regimen according to seasons. Humans are blessed with a beautiful environment to live in. The nature of the environment changes with the seasons. There are six seasons. Summer, rainy, spring, autumn, early winter and late winter. One season accompanies the other in the form of a cycle. In our life’s journey, we pass through childhood, middle age, old age which is not under our control. Similarly we have to face all season irrespective of what your age is or where you live in. Seasons are a part of our life. Ayurveda has described each season with its features and appropriate regimen in ritucharya chapter. Ritu means season and charya means regimen. From this we come to know that regimen in each season is different from the other. Another thing is that seasons is not unique in all parts of the world. The basic concepts in Ayurveda is related to tridoshas. Vata, pitta and kapha are the tridoshas. Human body can’t exist without these basic principles. These doshas are subjected to variation according to ages, day and night, food, lifestyle, seasons etc. Doshas predominate in a particular season depends upon the characteristic feature of that season. Each season has its own features. Seasons are formed as a result of earth’s position with respect to sun. Depending on this, there are two major divisions: uttarayana and dakshinayana. In case of uttarayana, sun is predominant. Strength of the person decreases during this season. -

5. Tattva Nirnayam V1
NamperumAL - SrI Rangam ïI> Editor's Foreward (for the eBook edition) YŒZ (PARA) TATTHVA NIRNAYAM This is a Sri Sookthi bequeathed to us by SrI Vatsya VaradacchArya (1165- 1275 C.E) of Kanchi revered as NadadUr AmmAL. He was born at NadadUr, a village near Kaanchi. He acquired the name of AmmAL from Lord VaradarAjan for his tender and devout Milk Kaimkaryam to the Lord. He served the Lord the milk naivEdhyam at a temperature, which was neither too hot nor cold and that made Lord VaradarAja wonder: "Is this my Mother, who takes such tender care of Me?" The name stayed thus as the AmmAL of the Lord from NadAdUr. NadAdUr AmmAL is the AchAryan of both Sudarsana Bhattar (the Author of Srutha PrakAsika) and AtrEya RamAnuja (the maternal uncle of Swamy Desikan). He met Swamy Desikan at the tender age of five at Lord VaradarAjA's temple PrAkAram during his KaalakshEpam and was wonder struck at the tEjas of the young boy, who had accompanied his uncle to the Temple. NadAdur AmmAL saw a great future for the young boy as the leading sampradhAya Pravarthakar of Bhagavad RaamAnuja darsanam. AmmAL offered his benedictions to the boy and asked his Sishyan, AtrEya Ramanuja to provide instructions to his nephew and grow him to become one of the greatest AchAryan. The year was 1273 C.E and NadadUr AmmAl was 108 years old. AmmAL wanted very much to train the young boy himself but recognized that he was too old and therefore asked his sishyan, AtrEya Ramanuja to accept that important responsibility. -

Satanism, Tantrism and the Left-Hand Path
SATANISM, TANTRISM AND THE LEFT-HAND PATH Modern Satanism is, in the West, essentially precisely what one certain form of Tantrism is in the East, i.e. the primary form of anti-nomian religious and moral dissent from mainstream herd practice. This is characterized in BOTH by a preference for the physical and material over the purely spiritual; physical pleasures over physical denial, and the fully acceptable use of magic for selfish worldly purposes. This pretty much describes those elements common to the "Left Hand Path" in both Western (LaVeyan and Setian) and Eastern (Tantric) usage of that term today. So clearly the Left-hand Path encompasses both Modern Satanism and one of the forms of Tantrism. "LEFT-HAND PATH" IN THE EAST Tantrism can be found in both Hindu and Buddhist varieties. Hindu Tantric practice is generally divided amoung two paths; The Vamamarga (or vamacara or vamachara) or "Left Hand Path" or red tantra and the Dakshinachara or "Right Hand Path" or white tantra. The most obvious but not the only distinction between these two is that LHP Tantra involves actual sexual practice as part of its rituals while RHP tantra uses non-sexual yoga practices instead. It is interesting to note that in common usage in India today, the term "Tantra" has come to mean "black magic" while in the West that term has come to refer mostly to hippie-like "sacred sex" yoga classes. Experts say both interpretations tend to cloud the full picture of what Tantra is fully about. Here are just two of the many credible references that note this same primary distinction between the two paths of Tantra: http://web.clas.ufl.edu/users/gthursby/tantra/schools.htm http://www.luckymojo.com/tktantradefinition.html There is little question that Tantra (both Buddhist and Hindu) arose in part as an anti-nomian revolt against restrictive mainstream Vedic, Buddhist and even Muslim morality. -

A legendary account of the sacred places, tem- ples, pools and groves of Orissa. By Kapila. The work is probably the most ancient of the several which treat of the holy places of Orissa. It opens in the usual Puranic form with an enquiry from Satyajit, in reply to whom Kapila recites what he had heard from Bharadvaja in reply to a similar question from an assembly of sages at the sacred pool of Pushkara. Judging from the places described, the work cannot date from an earlier age than the 8th century, nor is it likely to be later than the llth century. The author evinces no marked sectarian ten- his are on the whole distributed dency, and praises very fairly ; though the fact of his placing Bhuvanes'vara at the end would imply that at heart he was a Yaishnava.
