Bazar Hazards Whom to trust? And why? ------An Independent Report Berlin, July 2018

Dear Reader,

In the last decades many from have established themselves with centers as spiritual advisor all over the world, also in Germany.

What is the interest of these gurus?

After an independent, extensive research and local examination by a group of international students, this is a short, deep summary of the situation with historical insight and a social overview:

The obedient, hardworking, sophisticated and honest Germans care for their health, environment and Nature, greatly. They are not greedy and therefore feel satisfied in their daily life. May be due to their history, they have a deep longing for something beyond the physical, perhaps “something godly.” Hence they become easy targets for the “preying gurus" in the esoteric market.

In India, the tradition of Gurus is since a long time the foundation of the society. However, now the greed-driven majority of people in India do not respect their religion, their religious guru or their tradition. In the last decades anybody there just can call himself a guru and exploit whomsoever he can. These unscrupulous crooks hiding in the robe of a guru, holy-man or spiritual teacher want only “Fame and Fortune” – and they can go to any extreme to get it. Reportedly, most of these people are installed and established by ruthless politicians to manipulate the voters, mint money, launder and hide unaccounted money, or to execute other crimes under the disguise of social and charity work. There is a wide range of gurus: From the well-educated, well-dressed, philosophically- English-speaking-clever-orators with huge establishments in India and worldwide, who suite themselves to the well-trained modern, intellectual mind - to the petty “pundits” in the back-lanes for the naïve and poor slum dwellers. “Wie gesagt, zu jedem Topf passt ein Deckel!” (As it is said, to every pot fits a lid!) Their business is lucrative and their talent for deliberate deception unlimited!

Now, not only Indians, even many of their western followers have caught fancy to become gurus to get "Fame and Fortune" - by hook or by crook. To study the consequences and effects of these gurus’ establishments and misleading guidance on an individual and the entire society is a serious matter.

Traditionally, the Vedic teachings were passed on in India only by an authorized guru to his disciples in personal teachings that ran over decades. These gurus came from an unbroken lineage and tradition of ancient Vedic teachers () or Gurus.

The Vedic scriptures are not books of hocus-pocus “philosophy” but are mathematically encrypted texts of ancient sciences. They deal with many subjects: from atoms to space and astronomy; politics, economics and warfare; art, music and dance; physiology and psychology; disease prevention, treatment, surgery and health; to the soul, energy and metaphysic - basically everything happening in the Existence, including its mysteries.

Just as we need today qualifications to gain access to scientific research, only under the tutelage of a senior and experienced professor or doctor - similarly, in the ancient Vedic tradition, the students were authorized to study the subject in which they excelled. Their study was strictly carried out under the personal guidance of their Gurus. And only when they reached a degree of maturity, they were given authority to become an (Guru), or to research further on their own authority.

It was necessary to respect the laws, order and prohibitions laid down by the founders of these priceless Vedic scriptures – just as we today respect and follow our laws and rules.

Those laws were not imposed by mundane intentions or personal emotions, but they were meant to protect the students, mankind, the environment and Nature - also to protect the valuable information from falling into the wrong hands. It was absolutely necessary to respect the tradition and have the highest reverence for the Gurus.

It is documented that the Yogis, Sages and Gurus were so extremely revered for their wisdom that even Alexander the Great had to meet the naked-jungle-dweller Gurus Diogenes and Dandi-Swami (Dandamis). He even forcefully tried to take Swami Kalyanak (Calanus) to Greece as his personal teacher.

The sciences of Meditation, , Pranayama, Mantra, , Vedic rituals/festivals, Indian classical Music/Dance, Ayurveda and more are integral parts of the Vedic scriptures and therefore their laws, order and prohibitions are applicable to them, unquestionably.

Nowadays, the unauthorized, untrained people seeking "Power, Fame and Fortune," trading in these subjects has led to the complete loss and deformation of the valuable Vedic scientific information, which is now a loss to the entire humanity and subsequently to all other life on earth.

The wrong guidance by these unqualified teachers poses also immediate danger on an individual level. For example, the practice of particular Pranayamas (yogic breathing exercises) and particular Yogasanas were meant only for a Vedic student with a particular capacity, during a particular phase of his study and practiced only under the Guru’s observation. They are spiritual experiments at the highest level! The traditional Gurus knew how to handle the situation if something went wrong in the practice of their disciple. Similar it is the case with Meditations, Yogasanas and Ayurveda, which have become today without any regard booming commercial businesses.

As mankind is suffering more and more physical and psychological abuse by the reckless modern developments, leading to an ever increasing unhealthy body and mind, these holistic Vedic sciences have become very popular. In today’s world, it is apparently wise to submit yourself to this supreme wisdom, but at the same time it should be very important to have a mature teacher (Acharya) or Guru, who has the authority to guide you within your personal limits with all Do's and Don’ts, correctly.

As per my studies, there are only four Peethams (Authorities) of the four , each Peetham attributed to one Veda. Their highest authority is revered as Shree Jagadguru . They are from an unbroken lineage of Shree Adi Shankaracharya, since 2500 years (since 507 BC, five hundred years before the Christ – please disregard Wikipedia and other texts for incorrect information about the historical dates). This lineage of Gurus and personally instructed disciples actually started even long before Shree Adi Shankaracharya, but since the past 2500 years the chronology of all is documented in their Peethams.

Shree - The meaning of the word "Shree" in the Vedic language is probably, the ultimate source of the energy which drives the Existence." But as I mentioned before, Vedic words and writings are all encrypted, scientific, and their exact and actual meanings can only be learned from an authorized Guru, who himself has learned it from his Guru. So this will apply to the next two explanations of the titles, as well.

Jagadguru - Is the highest Authority in the world for the Vedic scriptures, but also the highest worldly authority, even above the ruling king.

Shankaracharya - An Acharya in the revered unbroken lineage of Shree Adi Shankaracharya, is equal to Shree Adi Shankaracharya himself. (Adi stands for first or beginning)

The post of Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj is the highest in the world, may be not everybody knows this, but certainly for people who understand the values of the Vedas.

Currently, there are three Shree Shankaracharyas, though there are four Peethas or Peethams (also called as Math or Mutt which means monastery) in four cardinal directions of India: Peethas/ Location Founder Present Peethadhishwar Peethadhishwar Acharya anointed Shankaracharya by Shree Adi Shankaracharya 1 Govardhan East Shree Swami Peetham , Shree for (Padmapada) Nischalananda Saraswati 2 Sharada South Shree Swami Shree Peetham for Sringeri, Sureshwaracharya Bharati Tirtha Karnataka (Sureshwara) Mahaswami

3 West Shree Swami Shree for Dwarka, Hastamalakacharya Swaroopananda (Hastamalaka) Saraswati 4 Jyotirmath North Shree Swami Shree Peetham Jyotirmath, Swaroopananda for Badrikashram, (Totaka) Saraswati Uttarakhand

Relevant :  Peethadhishwar = Peetha (the seat or throne, the seat of highest authority) + Adhi (first and highest/authority) + Ishwar (Lord)  Maharaj = The king of kings / the Ruler of the Rulers.  Traditionally, “Shree” is pronounced before the names and titles.  “Govardhan” = “Gau गौ” (Bos Indicus) + “Vardhan” means thriving, flourishing, prospering.  Shree Adi Shankaracharya is also referred as “Shree .” ……………………………..

It is of highest importance to adhere to the disciplines of the authentic Vedic teachings, if one wants to benefit from them and avoid harm or harmful results. People like the Hippies and their unwise “Wegweiser,” who had reduced the ancient Vedic wisdom to mere sex and drugs, degraded the encrypted supreme Mantra “Hare Krishna” to the lowest rung possible. Such acts are certainly shameful and perhaps only the experts can assess the damage caused by this. Originally, these young people from the West may have been interested in the , but they fell quickly into the hands of wrong Wegweiser, wrong gurus.

As said earlier, the short-sighted, majority of Indians have no more respect for their ancient religion and Gurus, who are the highest authorities for all Hindus. It is rare to find a truly religious and spiritual person in India!

Their religious rituals, ceremonies and festivals have lost their sophisticated and scientific significance, and have become reduced to noisy party happenings, fun and fair. Their worship of the gods and gurus has become reduced to constantly asking mundane things from them. Their main interest is only to gain a maximum "Fame, Fortune and Power" by any means, just like their fake gurus. Otherwise, how could an unauthorized person just use the position of a Guru to selfishly mislead honest Vedic disciples, spiritual seekers, and the whole society? And why is it socially and legally not objected?!

Can we imagine an unauthorized person establishing themselves as Pope and collecting money to amass wealth? Can we imagine something similar happen in the Islamic society?

No, of course not! It would be impossible. Neither anybody will try to do this within these two religions, nor would it be tolerated. Their networks are impenetrable solid from the top to bottom. It is a worldwide fact and not just a saying: “All roads lead to Rome!” Their financial matters and power distribution is strictly, also legally, embedded in their system throughout the earth. An individual Guru-shop for personal "Fame and Fortune" in these two religions is unimaginable.

Then why did it happen in India with the Shankaracharya? Could it be that only Hindus can go to such an extent to follow their greed and selfishness?

The Shankaracharyas, as per ancient tradition, have not only been the ultimate religious heads, but they were also the highest authority in the country. They kept check of the ruling King, so he remained dedicated to the safety and welfare of his people – and didn't become corrupt by power. The network of Shankaracharya’s wandering disciples was spread throughout the country. They controlled the administrations and did not just function as Vedic teachers in their Peethams. Thus the Shankaracharyas have been actually the ultimate heads, above the rulers, kings or emperors. This model of Shankaracharyas, must have been adapted by the Popes, as the tradition of Shankaracharyas is way older.

So obviously, the Shankaracharyas have been the most powerful people in the country!

Now imagine, people just start establishing themselves as Bundeskanzler (German Chancellor) in villages and cities, and even in other countries, and the ignorant followers come flocking in and start believing in it. How would that scene look? Just imagine somebody Mr. Sampleman establishes his office of Bundeskanzler in the jungle of Mudumalai!

But now everywhere fake Shankaracharyas, fake gurus, sit in prestigious position on a high throne and their Guru-shops are popping up like wild mushrooms, ready to suck in our money and time only to harm us. And ignorant as we are, we don’t even know about it! Due to a lack of guidance, knowledge or study, we think we are doing something good for ourselves, for our body and mind.

The financial contribution, which we give to the Fake Gurus, should actually belong to the Shankaracharya and his Peetham. But we have been delivering it to the wrong hands for distorted and potentially harmful teachings. And as we gave more, we produced more of these unauthorized gurus. As a result, the position of the Shankaracharyas has been more and more bypassed and thus deliberately downgraded. In these days Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Puri Peetham, Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj has to travel by train in second-class, and that too without a confirmed seat reservation. If you have not experienced it, then you can't imagine the conditions, the filth and stink of the Indian trains. Can we see something like this happen to the Pope or for the super-rich new-wave gurus, who loot the wealth which rightfully belongs to the Shankaracharyas and ultimately to the whole mankind?!

Jagadguru Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj may be very humble, because he is the real Guru, but we should always remember who he really is, if we have decency.

Can we see the immense damage the society has been doing to the healthy tradition of Shankaracharyas? Shankaracharyas, who ensured uncorrupted, efficient politics and economy; took immense efforts to protect India from constant attempts of intrusions and invasions; ensured healthy, safe and correctly educated society; and beyond all this, preserved the Vedic scriptures and wisdom. Had they not been there, we would not have even the computer today....

Without , the Vedas and the Binary system, the computer, and therefore the entire computer based modern technology, wouldn’t be possible. The Binary system is an essential contribution from Shree Govardhan Peetham of Puri in Odisha, and its 143rd Shankaracharya Jagadguru Swami Shree . He was one of the biggest mathematicians in the world. He provided the decrypted of Vedic mathematic including the Binary Number system to a group of western scientists by personal tuitions. This fact is documented, but hardly ever mentioned or intentionally suppressed. Obviously, if the Shankaracharyas rise to prominence they will regain influence over the society and become hurdles for the established corrupt political system. How short-sighted, selfish and thankless man can be?

Below are short videos about Shree Shankaracharya Swami Shree Bharati Krishna Tirtha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI71g5Qe-jc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWVP5pDyJAQ https://vimeo.com/163741643

Onescratus, the commander of Alexander's army, has written that Alexander had to meet some gymnosophists (Swamis, Yogis and sannyasins), who were of trouble to him. Their leader was Dandamis (the Dandi-Swami), who lived naked in the jungle near a spring and slept on grass and leaves.

The Dandi-Swami was the leader of the gymnosophists. Does that mean that Alexander had to meet him anyhow, because he was the Shankaracharya of that time?

Shankaracharya’s network of countless wandering monks (Swamis) used to protect the entire country from the invaders, each in their assigned territories endorsed in their names:

Sagar means ocean. So, when a Swami was given “Sagar” as suffix to his name, he was assigned to secure the safety of the oceans and coastal regions from intruders and invaders, and to ensure the impartial internal management. There are ten suffixes in total to ensure the all over safety, management and education. The suffixes “Saraswati” and “Bharati” stand for the responsibility of higher studies and education. “Puri” stands for the responsibility of the holy cities. “Tirtha” stands for the responsibility of the temples and places of pilgrimages. “Ashrama” stands for the responsibility of the monasteries and hermitages. “Aranya” stands for the responsibility of the small forests and jungles. “Vana” stands for the responsibility for the big forests and jungles. “Giri” stands for the responsibility of the small mountains, whereas “Parvat” stands for the responsibility of the big mountains, for instance the Himalayas.

The safety network of Shankaracharya’s wandering monks was highly efficient, tight- knitted and impenetrable throughout the country. Through them the Shankaracharyas were well informed. So what brutal forces and cruel ways the invaders must have applied, to wipe out these selfless swamis, to free their passage? Just the thought of it is heartrending!

The experts know it well, the successful invasions of India, be it from Muslims, British or others, were possible only because of short-sighted Indian traitors submitting to their "greed for power and wealth" and "fear of death and destruction." They betrayed their religious heads, violently, because they were never allowing any selfish and unqualified person to ascend and rule.

And the Nature has its take: If you disrespect and despise your ancestors and traditional values, your own roots, you will be uprooted sooner than later!

The sayings hold history in them, for instance, from the Muslim invaders is still used: “Those who don’t bend, break!” All those who didn’t want to bend down before the invaders engaging in the constant destruction of their ancient religion and tradition, were persecuted until they died or broke. Exactly like a captured elephant, the majestic king of the jungle, is "crushed," survives or dies.

The result is, today's Indians are almost uprooted from their prosperous Vedic roots - and suffer incurable individual, social and environmental problems.

But why were all the invaders greatly interested to capture India by any means? The clue lies in these incidents: “Why Alexander the Great had to walk into the deep jungles to meet the Dandi-Swami, even after he had refused Alexander’s order to come to meet him or face his death? - And why Alexander forcefully tried to take Swami Kalyanak to Greece as his teacher, but failed when Swami Kalyanak did self- immolation to avoid it?”

You may meditate over it. And get it, if you can!

Dandi-Swami means a Swami carrying a Danda. “Danda” is a long stick, consecrated with energies invoking particular Gods. A Shankaracharya in his life first becomes a Dandi-Swami, only then he can become a Shankaracharya. The tradition of Dandi- Swami sannyas was established by Shree Adi Shankara, with the intention to protect the Vedic wisdom and tradition, to safeguard India, and to ensure the welfare of all people and the entire nature.

The commanding authority Shankaracharya traditionally held over the Indian administration, to ensure the overall health and safety of the society, has been boycotted and suppressed by the vested interests. In his own words, Jagadguru Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj says, it is almost impossible to survive for a Shankaracharya without being an ally to some political party. Since his anointment in 1992 as Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Shree Govardhan Peetham in Puri, he and his Peetham have faced constant abuse, harassment, harm, humiliation, threats and painful treatments, only for him remaining independent from the political outfits, and for doing his duties honestly, by not giving his consent to execute any short-sighted harmful policies.

It is not possible for the people with vested interests to manipulate the presiding Shankaracharya, if he is fearless and uncompromising. Hence to reduce Shankaracharya’s influence over the society and thereby also over the democratic government, unauthorized harmful "gurus" have been rampantly installed and promoted in the society by such people. By associating with these fake gurus, we cut the healthy tree which is our life-source, even if we do it ignorantly. So we indirectly become responsible for the social problems and downfall, which is not limited to India alone. To be born with ignorance may be natural, but not to function and live with it forever. As human beings we have the responsibility to check ours and our society's choices, actions and their overall effects, constantly.

Jagadguru Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj is not only the highest Authority for Vedic teachings, but also the most humble and wise Guru, Acharya or Master you may ever come across in this lifetime. (I am excluding here the “invisible” and unreachable Swamis and Yogis in the Himalayas or jungles, who are also sannyasins from the authentic Guru tradition.)

Taking all the pain, living a very down-to-earth life, he makes himself available to the ignorant Indian society, selflessly. To people, who mostly cannot respect and understand the magnitude of his presence and his wisdom.

He is obviously a fearless and incorruptible soul, and carries the energy of something beyond-comprehension, to which the Vedic scriptures may refer as “Shiva” or “Narayana.”

His shiny aged eyes carry immense compassion for mankind. He is extremely attentive, sharp and outspoken. His ripe voice carries the pain he feels for the entire life on earth. And just a gaze into his open, unbiased matured eyes can shake any sensitive person to the roots!

If you want a true Guru, then as per my study of the entire situation, he is the Guru I can recommend. If you are ignorant but want to do something good, by learning your duty towards yourself, towards mankind, towards environment and the Nature, then he is there. Instead of disappearing into eternal peace of the Himalayas like other Yogis, he lives his duty of Jagadguru Shankaracharya by making himself available to us. Now you have to do your duty by making yourself available to him, too.

Whatever he may teach you or something may not teach you, I trust totally, would be the appropriate thing for you. Because he will surely know, what is right or not right for you, within your limits. If you practice a profession of an Ayurvedic doctor or any other Vedic science, then you should definitely go to take his permission, blessings and guidance. He will guide you, as a person and as practitioner, to act within your capacity, limits and restrictions as per the (the Vedic scriptures). Perhaps this is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity!

These Vedic sciences are dedicated to the health and safety of mankind, environment and Nature, and not to amass wealth, power and position – so the selfless guidance of this wise guru can help you to live on the right track.

As a reverence and as your duty, a considerable part of your profit should also be offered to Shree Govardhan Peetham, so Shree Jagadguru Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj has the required means to execute his duties – just the way we pay the Kirchensteuer (Church Tax) here.

Apart from this, it is necessary to be available to Shree Jagadguru Maharaj whenever he needs you for his work. It is the duty of everybody who profits from the Vedas, to stand by Shree Jagadguru Maharaj, the highest Authority of the Vedas.

He is striving alone, fearlessly, against the vested interests, to ensure the overall health and safety of mankind, environment and Nature - and for that to save the native Indian cows. His uncompromising stand must give sleepless nights to the most powerful people.

His divine guru Swami Shree Karpatri Maharaj was extremely brutally killed right before his own eyes (iron rods were stabbed into his eyes and beaten up deadly), just because he harmlessly protested with his monks against the slaughter of the native Indian cows, which are revered in the highest esteem in the Vedic scriptures. Even after witnessing and personally suffering this cold-blooded attack on non-violent and weaponless Hindu monks, he remains unwavering in his stance.

What he must have received from the Existence or decrypted, that no money, no power allures him and no danger of death stops him from executing his duty as Jagadguru Shankaracharya, honestly?!

If you are an Ayurvedic practitioner or an individual, interested in Ayurvedic treatments, then you should stand by him in firm solidarity, to ensure the absolute protection of the native Indian cows, called “Gau” in the Vedic Shastras.

Why? Because without these cows there is no authentic Ayurveda or authentic Ayurvedic treatments possible on this earth. The entire Ayurvedic medicine products are fundamentally based on these cows’ milk, ghee, other milk products, urine and dung. Even if some recipe may not contain one of this directly, still it must be used in some form, like burning the dry cowdung in the furnace to prepare a medicine, or to make natural manure and pesticide to grow the medicinal herbs. So I emphasize, no pure breeds of native Indian cows (the Gau) means no Ayurveda anymore – may be some natural medicine but no Ayurveda, for sure.

But why the Gau is the supreme core of the entire Vedic Shastras and life, can be learned with all aspects in depth only from Shree Jagadguru Swami Shree Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj. He is not an ordinary . He is a Sage, a mathematician and scientist par excellence. National and international scientists, including Atomic researchers, listen to him holding their breath when he speaks to them or addresses their congress. He is the source from where the harmless, sane technologies and sciences can be developed for a healthy and safe Nature, environment and mankind, when the scientists will respect him and the Vedic Shastras.

Unbiased, I said what I see from my viewpoint. In some places the words may sound harsh, but it’s the fact and the truth they transport with them is hard, and not they themselves. My intentions are not to be rude to anybody, but to share this independent study.*

Further info : Whenever you go to Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj or visit any temple in India, make sure that your dressing is according to the laws of Vedic tradition. If you don’t follow the Vedic dress code then it is highly disrespectful towards Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj - and also unscientific.

Wear white or light color, pure cotton, unstitched one-piece clothing – this means a “Dhoti” (“Antariya” or “Paridhan”), a waist wrap to cover the lower part of the body, and a shawl (“Uttariya”) to drape over the left shoulder. Another shawl can be tied, like a belt around the waist and buttocks, on top of the dhoti. This clothing is for both men and women. Now the Dhoti for women is also called Saree. Women can wrap an additional shawl around their breasts like a blouse/top. But if it is difficult, then women may wear a simple blouse. You can also follow the color chart for the day of the week - if you know it - and have clothes with organic natural colors. Elsewise, you better stick to simple off-white, with beautiful thick golden, silver or red/orange borders.

Traditionally “Lungota/Lungoti/Neevi” is worn as underwear. If you can go to that extent, which many western Vedic spiritual practitioners do, that is only good for you.

Anyway, keep your body well-covered in public, specially women, so Indians don’t stare at you.

(To get an idea of authentic Indian one-piece clothing, you can check out 1991 TV serial “” by Dr. Chandraparakash Dwivedi on Youtube. He has well researched and displayed elegant traditional Indian dresses. http://youtubehindivideos.com/chanakya-serial-all-episodes/ )

It is absolutely a must to take a shower just before the meeting/visit and wear only freshly washed clothes. You should have clean washed hair, oiled and neatly tied, which can be adorned with fragrant flowers. Wear ornaments of gold, silver, pearls or precious stones, but never wear imitation jewelry. Wear pure kajal in the eyes and apply a kumkum, vermilion or sindoor Tilak on the forehead.

The kajal, kumkum, vermilion and sindoor should be made only according to the Vedic principle with prescribed pure organic ingredients, and not just chemical colors for makeup. These things are medicine and have special purposes.

If you can make a paste of pure sandalwood (by rubbing it on a stone with little water) then apply it as Tilak on your forehead. But do not wear any chemical perfume or deodorant.

You can wear silk, wool, leather, ivory or any other animal products, only if the animal was not exploited or killed, but had died naturally and only afterwards the raw material was taken with Vedic principles. In this matter, just do not trust any seller’s claim of non-violence and better stay away from them.

Sit silently and attentive in a meditation posture on a mat of Kusha grass, a wooden seat or a clean carpet. Bring this with you. Do not try to sit on a chair unless you have medical reasons, but then sit at the back. Do not talk, get up and move around or leave the assembly, as long as Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj is sitting on his seat or talking. Come before he comes to his seat and leave only after he has left. If you happen to come late then stay at the backside, but do not try to walk through the people already sitting to go up front, even if you are a VIP. It is disturbing and also very disrespectful towards Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj.

Keep your mobiles at home or at least switched off.

Maintain the highest sensibility.

Temples and assemblies of Shree Jagadguru Shankaracharya Maharaj are not the places of tourism, so one should not desecrate them by not behaving according to Vedic teachings. Strictly do not offer anything to the gods, temples and also to Shree Jagadguru Maharaj, which is artificial, adulterated or regarded as impure/unhealthy as per Vedic tradition, like:  - Like milk, ghee, other milk products and sweets that are not from the Gau (the pure breed of native Indian cow, Bos Indicus).  - Flowers, garlands, Fruits, jaggery, oils and other worship related products, which are grown, produced and stored with non-traditional, non-organic methods.  - Adulterated or fake honey.  - Sweets made with synthetic colors and flavors.  - Synthetic camphor  - Synthetic Incenses made without Vedic recipe and substances.  - Artificial vermillion, kumkum, curcuma, bhasma, sandalwood, ashtagandha, sindoor, etc., powders made from synthetic dyes of various colors and scents. These things are extremely dangerous, for example, the fake sindoor is made from lead oxide.  - Synthetic clothes/sarees, not cotton, and colored with chemical dyes.  - Anything made of plastic or cheap metal (not precious or semi-precious metals).  - Burning lamps of substances other than pure sesame oil or ghee made from Gau- milk.

The shops are lined in vast numbers outside of temples and holy places, and sellers (often kids) chase and pester the visitors to buy these fake products, but do not fall into the trap. They are toxic and seriously unhealthy. Also, offering such things is considered a serious desecration of the holy temples and monasteries, so NEVER buy or offer these things. (But unfortunately it is very difficult to find anything “natural and pure with quality” anywhere in India, so be very careful.)

You should offer only “Sattvik,” pure, organic, natural things made with proper Vedic methods, to the gods, temples and also to Shree Jagadguru Maharaj.

Indians don’t follow this behavior and dress code anymore, but at least we should not behave like Indians!

From my study, if Indians would follow authentically even just fifty percent of the scientific Vedic tradition - the physical and psychological health, cleanliness, hygiene and peace of the people will be unmatchable on this earth – and India would be clean, at last. The environment and the Nature would be healthy, beautiful, revitalizing and rejuvenating…. But alas!

Whatever is recommended in the Vedic Scriptures, what to wear (cloths, ornaments, etc.), what to eat, how to live and behave - “Ahar, Vihar and Vicharan,” the entire lifestyle - has scientific reasons.

For each person the suitable food and its quantity, clothes and their colors, ornaments and physical activities, are different. In earlier times, each person used to be guided by his “Vaidya” (traditional Ayurvedic physician) and Guru, according to his physical and psychological “Prakruti” (nature). The prescription also considered the age of the person, the place and time of the day, week and year, meticulously.

The ingredients, method, substances, time and season described to prepare, produce and use every Vedic thing is in itself a medicine. This highly sophisticated science is ultimately meant for the spiritual development, and for that very fundamentally it takes care of minute details for a (disease-free) permanent health of the body, mind, environment and Nature. We will prepare special reports for this.
