9. Myth: It is said, those who are obese, they take more fasting days. Is it true that obese people can survive many fasting days? /div>

Truth: According to the proverb, ‘the number of bread slices depends upon the amount of flour available’, your thought is correct. But, in case of fasting, this is not true – fasting is not connected with obesity. If fasting is based on the stored fat in the body, we need to continue fasting till all the fat melts. But, we are not doing fasting for so many days. For example, if a person of 150 kg wants to reduce 70 kg of his weight and starts doing fasting, ideally, he should continue fasting, till he reduces his 70 kg weight. It means, if he reduces half kg weight every day, for 70 kg weight reduction, he needs to do fasting for 140 days. But, that is not the case. So, it is wrong to say that people who have more fat in the body need to do more fasting. Fasting should not be based on the lean or obese nature of the body. Fasting depends on the amount of waste stored inside the body. Even people who are lean, can fast for 60 days. So, only obese people survive more number of fasting days, is not true.

10. Myth: The modern science physicians say that fasting is unscientific. Many people say that fasting can crease many other problems, and their question is, ‘if we torture the stomach, can we overcome diseases?’. What do you say about it?

Truth: The foundation for diseases are medicine. Fasting in fact, shakes the foundation of a disease. As long as people were fasting, they didn’t need doctors or hospitals. Those who know only feeding the stomach are living, depending on the physicians. It is 100% true that with fasting, you can reduce diseases to a great extent. Animals and other living beings, eat food for 12 hours and leave the stomach (giving rest), without eating anything for the next 12 hours. During the 12 hours rest time, the body repairs itself day by day. That’s why, they are living happily, without any need of doctors or hospitals. If we don’t give rest for such a number of hours daily, the waste and toxic matter gets stored in the body. That very matter gets converted into disease, and we fall sick. At least on the day, you have disease, if you do fasting and give rest to your body, it can heal itself. If you observe, when we have fever, we feel bitterness of the tongue. It is the nature’s natural way of preventing or reducing the diseases. When we give rest to the body parts, body can increase the immunity power. This is nature’s way. Whoever don’t realize that will obviously face diseases and long-term ailments. How do people know the importance of natural ways and fasting methods given by nature, who are habituated to take artificial medicine? If you all had learnt the value of nature’s principles by now, there wouldn’t have been so many diseased people in the country. We are habituated to take medicine, for every kind of ailment – whether it is a non-serious ailment or a serious disease. During that time, the patient is taking food (though there is no feeling to eat), just for the sake of the medicine, and not that the body needs it. If you take medicine on an empty stomach, the damages will be more. How far is it scientific to take food, which is not at all necessary at that time? People are calling it unscientific way, if man lives the nature’s way – spending time in nature, taking the five elements of nature following the nature’s ways of life, and practicing the natural way of fasting? So, we can imagine to what level, our civilization has been degraded to. For those who have taken alcohol and feeling drowsy, they feel the world is revolving around them. Similarly, those who eat stomach ful and take medicine, how can they know the value of fasting? It’s a wrong assumption that we fasting can cause other problems. To doubt what is good, is natural to the human beings. Is it scientific to visit doctors and hospitals, so frequently, for every kind of ailment? Or is it scientific to prevent or cure diseases in nature’s way – day by day – without spending any money and just by staying at home? Just think!

11. Myth: After reading your book, “Food – Thought” (Aaharam – Alochana), we are preparing and eating those dishes without using salt. After eating those curries, from the second day, we felt pain in calves and tiredness. You said that if we don’t eat salt, we can overcome all pains. But, because of not eating salt, we are facing body pains as well as fatigue. Are those curries without salt not suitable for us? Or do we have low salt levels in the body? Are we supposed to take salt again?

Truth: Salt is not just foo, it is medicine. Salt has the tendency to stimulate the body. It belongs to the category of coffee, tea, cigarette and brandy, in terms of stimulating the body. The salt’s stimulation is happiness. Wondering why I am comparing salt with them? You should not be too surprised if I say, salt damages the body more than all these items. No other taste that we use, has this kind of property. Hope you are not getting angry on me for commenting on the salt, which gives you so much taste and happiness. For example, those who drink strong tea every day, happens to take lighter tea (lighter decoction) on a day, they don’t feel like drinking it and they don’t feel any happiness. Because, what they got on that day, is less stimulating quality of coffee. Those who smoke 2 packs of cigarettes, if they consume only one pack, then they will feel restless and tired. Similarly, brandy and ganja also cause similar problems. Likewise, those who eat a good amount of salt, if happens to eat curry with less salt, they add salt to the curry. Salt makes us do it. Those who eat spice in a good quantity, can manager is the food is a bit less spicy, similar is the case with oils. We do not mix chilli powder or oil. It means, they do not have that stimulation property. If they are reduced in food, we are not having the desire to add them.

If we stop eating any items which has the stimulating tendency, since that day, as we don’t get the stimulating items, the cells and the nerves lose their energy. All the cells will be waiting when that toxic thing will be available to the body again, and work more for it. That’s why, on the day we stop, we feel headache, fatigue, tension, irritation etc. The body faces this kind of problems from 4 to 7 days. Since the second day of stopping salt, we feel leg pains, pain in calves, fatigue etc. Though we may feel so for 4-5 days, gradually, the body gets habituated to it and there won’t be any pains and the body will feel lighter and strong. Similarly, if you start fasting and don’t eat such stimulating things (salt) from the first day, you won’t feel pains or fatigue. From the first day of fasting, as the stored salt in the body, discharges out, so you won’t face any harmful effects. You didn’t face any problems, due to low level of salt in your body or you were eating curries without salt. You need not eat salt again. If you stop eating salt, everything will be alright in four days. If you cannot endure problems for four days, and eat salt again, you will suffer from pains and fatigue throughout the remaining life.

12. Myth: If we are eating raw vegetables, they don’t seem to be salt-less. But, if the same vegetables are boiled, they tend to be salt-less. By boiling vegetables, the natural salty nature disappears and we may face the deficiency of salt. Those who are eating raw vegetables, may not face this problem, but those who are eating vegetables, by boiling them, cannot they add some salt?

Truth: The raw vegetables may be tasty and if the same vegetables are boiled they may seem to be tasteless. But, this is no way related to salt. When curries are boiled, except salt, the remaining minerals and vitamins and some enzymes are dying, and because of this the curry may taste insipid. However hotter a dish is made, the natural salt of the vegetables will be in the curry itself. For example, if leafy vegetables are cooked, it is sufficient to add a little salt. In case, you are cooking red gram, we need to add more salt. Even after boiling, the salt in the leafy vegetables is not dying. Hence, we are getting the taste with a little amount of salt. If we think in another way, the salt water of the sea gets evaporated and then comes back as rains and is available to us as normal water. As the rain water doesn’t have any salt, it is tasty. As you said, when evaporated, if water goes up as water droplets, the rain water should be much salty. In fact, salt has the tendency to travel down. If we eat boiled food, we may face any other deficiency of nutrients, but certainly not the deficiency of salt. So, that is why, adding salt from outside, is never needed.

13. Myth: We have seen in a famous nature cure hospital that the patient with diabetes - taking insulin injections twice a day – did fasting, by taking fruit juice. Though the sugar levels are coming down, day by day, after 5-6 days, the person fainted one day. When tests are done, the reports said that proteins got melted and key tone bodies were developed. Immediately, fasting was stopped and food was given. But, you use honey in fasting. Have you faced any such problem? Fruit juice should give more energy to the diabetic. Why did the person slump into coma?

Truth: The diabetic patients should not do fasting with fruit juices. It is not suggestible. For the fruit juices to get digested and convert to energy, it takes around 1 to 2 hours. Even if fasting, more time is taken to digest the fruit, so the time to discharge waste, will be reduced. That’s why, it takes many fasting days, for the waster mater of the cells to go out. Only when the cells become completely healthy, and take the food (glucose) without delay, then, it is okay to take fruit juices. Then, sugar levels won’t increase due to fruit juices. And, it can save from fatigue. In fasting, before the cells improve their capacity, if they take fruit juice, the energy from it won’t be sufficient to the body and hence sugar levels come down or causes fatigue. In fasting, the energy (glucose) that we get through fruit won’t be sufficient to the body, mind gets upset, and everything goes disorder, and as a consequence, instead of fats melting down, proteins get melted. As this time, many changes take place in the blood. This is a dangerous state (forming of key tone bodies). Moreover, unless the pancreases gland generates some insulin, the fruit juices won’t convert into energy. As the body cannot generate enough insulin in the body, they take insulin injections. As injection cannot be taken during fasting, fruit juices in fasting won’t be suitable for the diabetic patients and hence, cause problems.

If the fasting is done with honey, from day one, the body will be active 24 hours, without fatigue. Honey can enter into the blood quickly (without digestion), and can give energy to the cells immediately. Hence, there won’t be any kind of problems during fasting. Like honey, fruit juices cannot give energy. So, the diabetic patients who are fasting can go into coma. However, we haven’t faced any such situation so far. With us, some diabetic patients – who take insulin injections three times a day - continued fasting for around 35 days. If fasting is done with honey, in this way, and when you feel hungry, you can stop fasting and continue with fruit juices, you won’t feel fatigue or no key tone bodies will be developed in the body. The reason for this is: in fasting, the functionality of the cells will change, the ratio of the liquids in the cells will be changed, the efficiency of pancreases gland will increase and more importantly, the cells will have the real feeling of hunger. All such changes are happening in the body, hence, we give all kinds of fruit to the diabetic patients.

14. Myth: How can you say that fasting works for all kinds of diseases? How is that possible?

Truth: For both marriage and death anniversary, the same mantra will not work. But, fasting,works as panacea for all diseases. If we keep the house clean, day by day, the house will be clean without dust. Similarly, if all the waste matter is cleaned up from the body, (produced out of food), day by day, then the body will be healthy and clean. Since the day man has become civilized, man stopped doing physical exercise, preventing/procrastinating the activity of discharging waste (faeces and urine), not sweating at all, staying in closed rooms. For all these reasons, the waste matter of the body is not getting discharged out. As a result, the waste matter inside the body, moves all over the body, develops toxins, unnecessary bacteria, and disease particles. The body becomes a haven for diseases. For all the diseases, the underlying reason is the storage of waste matter in the body. The waste matter – when stored in various parts of the body, the physicians are sharing these body parts and naming them differently, and providing treatment. If the waste is in the stomach, we call it indigestion, it is in the lungs, we call it asthma. For example, if brass is used to make vessels of different sizes and shapes, we give them different names. Though, brass is the only items in all these vessels, based on the shape, we named them accordingly. This is what is happening in the body as well. Storing the waste in the body is disease. Making the body clean up from all the waste is health. Medicines suppress the diseased particles in the body. Fasting cleans up and discharges out the waste matter. Just as we clean up the house, fasting cleanses the body. If there is any dust or dirt or insects, if weclean up the floor with water, whatever dirt is there, will go out along with the water. Similarly, despite whatever disease particles are stored up in the body, fasting can send off all the waste.

15. Myth: In your fasting method, people are doing fasting, by staying in their homes. What is your purpose in it? How far is it correct to do fasting by staying at home?

Truth: People join in the nature cure hospitals, only if they have long-term diseases, or if they are too obese or if their bodies are not compatible with medicine. Nature cure methods and fasting methods are not only meant for the diseased people, but they are also useful for normal people so that they won’t get any diseases in the future. Nature cure method is the most needed method for the present man to live happily. Keeping this in view, with a purpose to spread the values of nature cure methods to all the people in the society, we are doing like this. From morning till night, man is doing so many mistakes (either consciously or unconsciously) in terms of keeping his health. Nature cure method rectifies these mistakes and gives the people, the awareness about the good and bad. This complete science teaches about food and movement for complete health of the people. If we know the values of this method and practice them, man will be perfectly healthy, mentally and physically. In the present situation, most of the people, are not able to visit the nature cure ashrams, and spend 10-20 days in the ashram, to change their lives. They are not getting this thought or the opportunity. To spread the values of this method for a wide range of people in the society, if the normal people (those who are not diseased) have to practice it, to create nature-families, we felt it is a good idea to do nature cure treatment at home. If one family member is doing fasting, remaining people will observe and know about it. In that way, from one person to the other, the values will reach more people in a shorter span of time. If people are allowed to do fasting from home, they will come forward and use the opportunity. If we realize the importance of fasting and enema, we would never leave this method in life.

If you are able to control your mind, there is nothing wrong in doing fasting at home. Before starting the fasting, we are making the person mentally prepared for fasting. From the starting day of fasting, we look at food items, at home or outside. We see people eating the food items. They will start fasting, with the pre-determined obligation of not eating anything, despite whatever food items they see. Hence, they don’t feel like eating. In the ashram, they don’t see any food items. So, no desires will emerge. But, they see any food items all of a sudden, then it will be difficult to control the mind. If we know the timings of the power cut, we will be alert by that time. There won’t be any problem. But, if the power if off all of a sudden, we will feel tensed and inconvenient. Similarly, once food is started in fasting, they have to eat whatever is being served in the ashram. So, they will have it. Someone in the ashram cooks the food and serves us, so eating is easy. But, when they leave ashram and go home, all the family members will be eating different food items, different tastes. As they stayed away from tastes, for a long time in the ashram, due to the smells, the mind and senses pull towards the food items. Those who don’t have enough restraint, will go back to the regular food, soon. But, in case of people who do fasting at home, they are habituated to the smells, even during the fasting time, as they sit along with the family members and eat their insipid food. They won’t be dragged to the food items. So, it is observed that, compared to the ashram, people who do fasting at home, are able to control tastes in a better way.

16. Myth:If we reduce the body weight at once through fasting, the body will get damaged. Many of the physicians advise to reduce weight gradually. Losing weight during fasting will be harmful, in any way?

Truth: In fact, fasting is not meant to reduce weight, but to cleanse the body inside. During the cleaning process, due to the honey used, due to the non-availability of solids, as food is not sufficient to the body, the stored fat starts melting. This melting of fat varies from person to person. You cannot reduce weight just as you wish! We are giving rest to the body in the name of fasting. During this rest, the body adjusts the highs and lows of the body. It means, in fasting, the body melts unnecessary fats, stored waste and diseased particles. In fasting, the obese people will reduce more weight and the thinner people will reduce lesser weight. We have given an opportunity to the body. That’s all! Whatever results the body gives at its convenience, we have to take it and be satisfied. In fasting, if the body faces any inconvenience in reducing the weight, it won’t make the attempt to reduce weight. This is body’s principle. People who have less weight, will reduce 5 kg in 30 days. As you say, fasting is meant to reduce weight, then everyone should reduce weight. But, it is not happening. If we want to reduce excess weight at once, it may be done through current or machines, but it cannot be done in fasting. In fasting, we cannot reduce weight, just as we wish. There may be problems in methods where we reduce weight as we wish, but not in fasting, where we can reduce the weight of the body, only according to the consent of the body. So, what damage is there to the body? In fasting, weight loses gradually. So, there won’t be even 1% of damage to the body. There is no chance for it. So, better not to blame fasting, without knowing about them. It will pave way for our destruction. To blame fasting is like blasphemy – speaking offensive about God.

17. Myth: If the obese people lose weight at once, from around 15 to 20 kg, their skin may look sagging and gets folded. Is there any chance we can rectify it?

Truth: In fasting, the weight comes down gradually. So, the skin and muscles can become stiff according to the reduced weight. As you said, if the weight reduces all at once in fasting, the skin sags. But, in our fasting, even if 30 kg weight is lost, we do not know that we have lost 30 kg of weight. Just as our muscles and skin has the property to sag, they also have the tendency to contract. Once the pregnant lady, delivers the baby, the stomach goes back to the normal stage. Similarly, in fasting, the loosened skin becoming tighter is also natural. If anyone feels like that, they can take sprouts and do asanas, so that the skin becomes tighter than ever. In asanas, we can tighten the muscles and skin in whatever body part we like. In fasting, we will ensure that your skin won’t get folded. Hope this is fine!

18. Myth: You are saying that, in fasting, whatever waste is stored in the body, will be discharged out and as a result, the body will become healthy. Then, how about eating salt, oil, spicy things as we like and then fasting for 4 to 5 days in a month, and clean up? When fasting is giving this opportunity, why should we eat insipid food?

Truth: So, learning to do fasting can be used by people like this? The question is like: as we take bath daily, can we smear mud all over the body? Compared to normal bath, if you take bath for the mud body, it will take more water, more soap and more rubbing, more energy is required. Finally, breathlessness. If you eat normal food for 26 days and take spicy food (with salt, oil and spices) for 4 days, the body will adjust. But, if you want to eat spicy food for 26 days, then the body cannot bear. It doesn’t even agree. When students study for 10 months, they are given 2 months of holidays. It won’t be like taking 10 months of holidays for studying 2 months. In terms of food, this is what you want to do. The body gets accustomed to whatever it is conditioned to. If we sit in the A/c room for one hour and come out into the sunshine, you are suffering for 15 minutes. In the A/c room, we were more comfortable than normal. So, in the 15 minutes, you will suffer more than normal. Fasting is like sitting in the A/c room. Here the sunny day is salt and spicy curries. Going from A/c to sun shine is like going from fasting to normal tastes. After fasting, eating insipid food is like going from one A/c room to another A/c room. Those who roam in the sun, they don’t feel the sunshine. We cannot make journey by keeping legs in two boats. For our selfishness (tastes), playing with dharma (fasting) is a great sin. It will be meted with unforgivable punishment (in the form of diseases), be careful! If we want not to be punished like that, we need to eat good food for the sake of our health. We have no other option.

19. Myth: Those who have low B.P, take more salt in buttermilk, food items, so that they can overcome nausea, drowsiness and fatigue. But, if they reduce salt of stop it, it will be a problem for them. If they do fasting without taking salt and food items, don’t they feel nausea with low B.P? Don’t they feel fatigue?

Truth: People who have low B.P., if use more salt, the water they drink or the liquids they take are discharged out only in small amount and the larger amount will be stored in the body, causing water pressure. That’s why, B.P (blood pressure) increases. We discussed earlier that, salt has the property to store water. If there is water pressure more in the body, the problem of low B.P. will come down. In our fasting, we instruct the people to take honey and lemon juice along with 7 litres of water. If we take more water for every one hour, the water pressure will increase in the body and with the need of salt, the B.P will be in control. People who have low B.P., can do such fasting for any number of days. They won’t feel and nausea or fatigue. If you stop salt without drinking water, you will suffer with nausea and as a result, you will be afraid of fasting. If you drink water, every hour, in such large quantity, you won’t have any problem with low B.P. Now, don’t be afraid of fasting. Also, stop eating salt. If you drink with salt or if you take any food with salt and do fasting, then consider that it is not fasting.

20. Myth: When people do fasting, once in a while – on an auspicious day (Ekadashi, Shiva ratri), we see that they cannot bear hunger, get tired, suffer from headache, feel fatigue etc. If they suffer like that for just one day, how can they do fasting for so many days with you? Do you say that your fasting won’t cause any such problems?

Truth: Whoever do fasting – in whatever way – such problems cannot be avoided. Don’t be scared. It will be foolish not to take up fasting, fearing such problems. The moonlight is so pleasant. Moon, who gives the moonlight, also suffers from eclipse. Just as the eclipse duration for the moon, we also face 2-3 days eclipse period, before we do fasting. That is because, if we eat for 6 days in a week and don’t eat at all for one day? Doesn’t the body suffer? Because of this problem, the child will fear school and struggle hard not to go to school. Just because, he is crying for first two or three days, are you not sending the child to school? If you are doing like that, then you can also don’t take up fasting, for the fear of the initial problems that occur in the first 2 to 3 days. Those who are newly learning asanas, they will obviously have the pains and suffering. But, are we stopping asanas, afraid of the pains and avoiding the joy the asanas are giving? If we suffer in the beginning, we will enjoy the result 2 times of the suffering. We have to continue our journey to achieve that joy.

21. Myth: As we are habituated to the present food intake, it is difficult for us not to eat one time in a day. We cannot do it. Despite you tell us all these things, we are not able to oblige to do fasting without taking food. As we have this mindset, can we just take food according to your instructions without doing fasting? In that way, can we become healthy? Is there any problem to make such a diet change, without doing fasting?

నిజం: As you are habituated to eat daily, that’s why you are not able to stop food. You are scared of stopping food. Whatever the mind is conditioned to, we feel like doing that. If we roam around on a Sunday for movies and other places, we don’t feel like going to office or school on Monday. If you are conditioned to fasting for four days, then, you won’t feel like stopping it. This is called habit. If you do dusting at home, clean the house, and then decorate the house with things, then the house will look clean and attractive. Similarly, if you clean the body inside with fasting, and then eat good food, you will have cleanliness, health and better than the two – happiness. If you keep all the dust intact and decorate the house however beautifully, the decoration won’t look beautiful. Not only that, the decoration will lose its beauty. Without cleaning the body, if you eat good food, the food will enter the body and moves the waste matter. When the waste goes out, we will face some pains and problems. We will assume that the food is not suitable to the body and hence, we want to stop the good food we are eating. But, if we clean up the body well with fasting, wash the body and then take good food, as there is no waste matter or diseased particles in the body, we won’t face any problems. When the house is not cleaned up properly, the beauty of the household articles will get affected. Similarly, if the body is not healthy, e will lose faith in the food.

If you think in another way, as you eat good food, you may become completely healthy. But, in future, you may face any problem or ill health. In such a situation, the good food we know may not save us from the disease. We may need to go to the doctor and take medicine. We need to spend some money for X rays, scanning, tests and doctors. But, if you are aware of the benefits of fasting already, if you face any such problems in the future, if you do fasting then, you can control your diseases, without depending on anyone and without spending money. If you don’t know the importance of fasting, the problems will be like this. After doing fasting, if you follow the good diet, then is beneficial in both ways.

22. Myth: You are saying that doing fasting is a natural way of life style. That’s fine. If we want to do fasting, there are so many people who discourage it – forget about encouraging. As you are saying, it is a great dharma, then why are so many people discouraging it?

Truth: Those who are good, they encourage good. If no one is encouraging fasting, it is not the fault of fasting. It means, those people are scarce who want health and health-related joy. People and advertisements are encouraging smoking, alcohol, cool drinks, suggesting with new brands. More people are joining one another to do this encouragement. The parents are able to teach how to eat stomachful. But, they are not able to teach to send the waste through fasting. They are thinking that eating stomachful is health and strength. Who knows that fasting is our life style, it is our dharma? How many of us know that every individual who is taking food – when required – should cleanse the body? How many know that fasting is part of our daily life?

“Had your stomachful three times a day? Have some more? Do you want anything more?” There are people who can ask like this. But, how many wives, mothers and elderly people are advising, like, “Eat less, this is not for your health. Eat less to be more comfortable”? We conceive our thoughts according to the food we eat. So, how many people are there in the society who are eating for health? People who are eating for the sake of health, should encourage to do fasting. When they themselves don’t do fasting, what encouragement they can give us? If we are taking 90% unjust food, how can we turn our mind towards the goodness of fasting? They always prefer to support the unjust medical methods. If you are ready to do fasting intentionally, that’s your biggest strength. Don’t heed to others. Don’t pay attention to those who do not have experience (in fasting). Fasting to the body is like worshipping god.

23. Myth: Is it mandatory to do enema in fasting? For those - who feel shy to do enema, who cannot do enema at home, who fear enema – is there an alternative, like Ayurveda medicine or allopathic medicine, or castor oil, which can clean the intestine all at once, so that we don’t need to do enema.

నిజం: Just as the journey cannot be continued in darkness, without light; fasting cannot be continued successfully without enema. A lame man uses a stick to move. Fasting uses enema for the same purpose. Just as the lame man suffers without the stick, fasting will get a setback without enema. To clean up the waste, there is no other easy and harmless method like enema. Fasting itself is meant to protect the body and to repair it. Whatever process we do in fasting, it should not damage the body. If any damage happens to the body, it will be against to fasting. Once fasting is started, all our vital energy reaches the area where the repair is needed. When you take medicine or castor oil in fasting, in place of enema, then you will have diarrhea. Based on the effect of the medicine, the number depends. From half an hour of the time we take the medicine, our vital energy (that is curing the repairs) comes back to intestine, by allowing the medicine to work on the repairs. It means, from that time, the repair activity stops. Because, as the effect of medicine, the useful water (minerals water) in the body goes out, the body gets fatigue. The energy in our body is trying hard to protect us from fatigue, during fasting, but fails. Because, the useful water of the body, when gets discharges out, the water percentage comes down and fatigue is started. Though the discharge is done four to five times and then stops, all the energy of the body has to be at the intestines for more time (around half a day) to control the fatigue. Despite doing fasting, if the repair activity is stopped for 12 hours, just imagine, how many days will it take for the actual disease? Fasting itself means 24 hours of repair. It means, because of the medicine we use for discharging of waste, we feel fatigue for half a day, and the repair will be stopped. The damage happens in two ways. If you suffer with fatigue daily, you won’t have enough energy for the fasting, to clean up all the waste from the body. Hence, you may need to stop fasting in the middle.

If you are ready for fatigue and take medicine, the stored waste matter won’t go out of the body. Whatever waste is there at the bottommost of the intestine, will come out after soaked. The tablets will be engaged in sending more water to the intestines, but they cannot move the stored waste. The effect of the medicine is limited to that level. Whatever waste is moved smoothly, In the water that comes to the intestines, only that faeces will be discharged out. To discharge the stored waste, we need to do enema every day, and give 24 hours rest. We have no other way. If medicine is good to discharge the waste matter, then doctors can prescribe them to the pregnant women, before delivery? But, why are they using enema, instead of medicine? If the women use tablets, they will be fatigued and it is neither good for the delivery nor good for operation. Hence, they use enema. To move the stored waste and discharge it out in a better way, without the body getting fatigue, enema is the only way for us. Just for the matter of 5 minutes, don’t feel shy or lazy, and face problems. If you do such things in fasting, and if you face any difficulty because of the medicine you have used, it will affect the reputation of fasting and people will be scared of it. If the child does any mistake, the parents will be blamed. Similarly, here fasting will be blamed.

24. Myth: I heard that, you make patients visit again and again, for two to 3 months, before they are allowed to join for fasting. In other nature cure hospitals, if they come to the nature cure centre, they will be admitted to the ashram the next day. Why are you not doing that? Is it not useful?

Truth: If you visit again and again, it is useful for both you and us (nature cure). The moment you come for fasting, if you join, they you will suffer more. Without knowing the fasting method properly, if you start fasting and then stopping in the middle, you will be deceived more in life. Those who distance themselves from nature cure and fasting, are like children who lost their mother. The relation between nature cure and man is that of a mother and child. The people who are visiting us should realize the significance of the sacred bond. We make you visit again and again because, we fear that you may break the bond, without realizing its importance. In doing so, we can know who is genuine and who is not. Most of the people are just coming for the nature cure, just for relief, and not for seeking life without diseases. The nature cure fasting is primarily useful for fasting. So, our effort is only for those people who are in tune with the ideology.

The inventor of Homeopathy, Dr. Hahnemann has said like this: “Though we can identify the suitable medicine and give it to the patent, there will be only 20% of improvement in the patient. The remaining 80% of improvement depends on the relation between the patient and the doctor. So, we need to know, how far the people coming for nature cure treatment have faith and trust. If they don’t have trust on the doctor, their problem won’t be solved. Though the patient has trust on the treatment method, if they don’t have complete trust on the doctor, then, the treatment won’t be of much use, and the problems won’t be rectified. So, the patient who starts fasting without having any hope and commitment, ultimately blames the nature cure treatment. Finally, that is what we get. When we are buying a new pot, we will test it before buying. If we know that the pot is not worth buying, what is the point of buying it? If we realize that you cannot utilize the methods and still we will give you a chance, then, the effort will go futile.

25. Myth: In almost all nature cure hospitals, in their food they are serving, they are adding some salt and tempering. But, in the food you are offering, salt and tempering is not available. If you add slight tempering in the food, there is a chance for the patients to take the food for more days. Don’t you agree about this?

Truth: In olden days, in the nature cure hospitals, food would be given without salt and tempering. People could eat like that in those days. The patient used to have the commitment to follow the doctor’s advice, and trust upon the doctor. But, gradually, the system is changed. As patients don’t like curries without salt, the nature cure centres started using salt slightly. Like that the importance to taste is prioritized in the ashramas, and the tastes they are adding increases in size – from tea poon to table spoon. If doctors, who teach the patients to leave tastes for the sake of health, start allowing tastes in their ashrams, the patient will take it as an opportunity. Is there a measurement for ‘some’ in tastes? Man, by nature, can concert ‘smaller’ to ‘bigger’. The permission given for a smaller quantity of salt and tempering, now reached much larger sizes. Will the mind - once accustomed to steal – stop? It always looks for other possible chances.

If we either want to smoke cigarettes well or stop them, it is not possible to smoke one or two a day and try to be healthy. Similarly, those who are habituated to tea and coffee, can they control themselves, by drinking only once? You cannot stick to non-vegetarian food only once in a month. Just like them, using salt, oil and tempering, in small quantities – throughout life – that’s also not possible. We also offer to tea and coffee, only to those who have the habit of drinking them; we offer to those who don’t have the habit at all. Though we want to have these taste only in small quantities, the society doesn’t let us live like that. They will pull us to their side. They will bluff you that their curries are also insipid. After eating all the dishes – if they are tasty, you will have satisfaction of having tasty food; or if they are insipid without taste, then you can have the feeling of securing your health. If you use salt and tempering only to some extent, neither you get health nor complete health. Moreover, you may get depressed mentally, because you are not getting either of them perfectly. It will be like squeezed in between. Either we should be to that side or this side – certainly, not in between. Either you travel on the taste boat or travel on the health boat – travelling on the two boats can dump us in the river of ill-health and dissatisfaction.

It is the Allopathic, Ayurvedic and Homeopathic doctors who can advise us to use salt, oil tempering in small quantities, but not the nature cure doctors. For the medicine to work, you need to do some diet, so the doctors who give medicine, will tell you that. In nature cure hospitals, the food itself is god’s medicine. If you add tastes in food, then the god in the food will move away. It means, health will move away. If we need health, we have to move away from tastes.

26. Myth: If we are doing fasting, doesn’t immunity come down? Not eating for so many days, doesn’t the body become week and become prone to diseases?

Truth: If it is true that not taking food makes the body weak, then, all these people, who are always eating something or the other, must be strong and healthy. When we are taking food, then only more energy of the body is consumed. To digest what we have eaten, to carry what is digested, and then to discharge the waste, much of the energy gets waste. It is said in the scriptures that, those who eat little, live longer. Those who eat less, energy won’t be spent much, and stored more so that diseases can be resisted. If all the earned money (energy) is spent as and when you got it, there won’t be money (energy) to save you when you face difficulties (diseases). That is the secret behind have more energy in the morning and then, it reduces gradually, after taking meals. If we fell so energetic when the stomach is empty in morning two hours, then, how much energetic the body will feel, if the stomach is empty for 24 hours. You will get extreme energy for your imagination. This is what fasting is. Fasting means, that which leaves energy (immunity / resistance) to the body. When this energy is increased in the body, diseases will be cured without any need of the medicine. When we are not well, we are not taking food. That’s why, the diseases are cured. Those who don’t do fasting, get one or the other disease. For those people who fast frequently, the protection is like: wearing the protection coat. Just as light is natural to the Sun, immunity is natural to fasting.

27. Myth: Can we do fasting while doing our tasks? Will be be useful? You said, fasting is complete rest. If we do fasting without taking any rest, will it be useful?

Truth: When we are studying, if we do work simultaneously, while doing work, how much can we learn? Doing fasting, while working is also similar to that. If we do like that, whatever we can learn (education) in less time, will take more time. Similarly, if we do fasting while working, the result will also come with a 2-days delay. If we make it a mandate that people should come to nature cure only when they can afford complete rest, then it is not possible for all. Only those who have long term-diseases, or who’s situation is severe, they can come; but, ordinary diseased people won’t come. It is okay if there is a 2-days delay in getting the results. If doing fasting with some lighter work, and taking rest enough, that will be fine. If they join in the ashram and give complete rest to the body, it will be quite better. The fasting we offer (with more honey), can be done anyone staying at home, with lighter amount of work. They can complete fasting with energy and without any fatigue. But those who have long-term diseases, people with back pains and joint pains, or obese people, should do fasting only with complete rest.

28. Myth: Generally, what all doctors say is: if the stomach is empty, acids are formed causing inflammation and ulcers. So, they are suggesting not to keep the stomach empty and to eat something frequently. But, you are saying that keeping the stomach empty will increase resiststance, and doing fasting while keeping the stomach empty, all diseases can be cured. So, which is correct? Should the stomach be always filled or should it be empty?

Truth: If we commit one mistake, to rectify it, we need to commit another mistake. Similarly, if we say one lie, it will lead to another. In case of your question, the same thing is happening. Every day, in the food that we eat, as we take oil, ghee, sugar, fat items, tea and coffee etc., acid in the intestines needs to be produced in more quantities, to digest the food items. Due to the fat items eaten, even after the digestion is completed, acids are produced in the intestines. In the empty intestines, acids start eating the intestines and the layers, hence, we feel the inflammation. The first mistake is eating the food which is against the intestines. Then, according to the doctor’s advice – to eat something or the other, by not keeping the stomach empty – the food you eat, is again the old food. Eating like this is the second mistake. Hot milk overflows, water is sprinkled, again milk overflow and then water is sprinkled again. So, this way, despite so many days, as the food habits are not changed, we do the same mistakes again and again.

In this way, if we eat food again and again, without giving rest to the stomach, the intestines and the stomach feel restless and they lose resistance power. Just as when the agriculture land is dried up for some time, it is gaining strength, similarly, we are able to give rest to the stomach and intestines, they can gain strength and health. Those who eat good food (un-boiled i.e., raw food), they can eat 12 hours in the day times, continuously, multiple times. The stomach or intestines won’t have any problems. Bulls and goats eat like this. But, If we eat boiled food, (without adding any salt, ghee, spices), then we need to give 3-4 hours of rest. Alsatian dog eats like this. When the food is boiled, adding salt, oil and spices, meat, ghee and other fat items, we need to give 7-8 hours of rest after eating. Animals which eat non-vegetarian food belong to this category. If we eat non vegetarian food, we need to give 10-15 hours of rest to the stomach. According to the food we eat, we need to give rest in the day (gap between food and food), which is good for health. It doesn’t matter what kind of food you eat in the day, during night, you must give rest to the stomach. Eating food, by giving rest to the stomach is health. Keeping the stomach always engaged, by eating without rest is not healthy – due to this reason, their life span comes down.

29. Myth: When we suffer from acidity or ulcers, isn’t there a problem using 8 lemons a day? Doesn’t it aggravate acidity? Can they drink honey water instead of taking lemon water?

Truth: During fasting, just because there is no food in the stomach, there is no chance of generating acids. When we feel hungry, the acids are formed. As we don’t feel hunger in fasting, we don’t face any such situation. If we take lemon with warm water and 4 spoons of honey, we never feel inflammation in the stomach. In fact, when the lemon water is mixed with saliva, it loses its acid nature. When we drink warm water, there is no chance of acids producing in the stomach. As we mix honey, we won’t feel any hunger pair or inflammation in the stomach. If we take normal water frequently, whatever acids present in the body, will be diluted and do not give any effect. If anybody has any trouble with lemon, they can drink water with only honey. In fact, with lemon, the problem of ulcers can be completely cured. In fasting, lemon doesn’t do any harm.

30. Myth: Those who have hypoglycaemia or low sugar, or who become lethargic by losing sugar percentage frequently in the body, keep eating something or the other or eat sweet. For them, can fasting work? Isn’t there a chance for sugar to come down in fasting?

Truth: There are many types of fasting. Fasting without honey can cause the danger of fatigue. In fasting, if they don’t get enough glucose to the body, they may enter coma. In our fasting, we provide honey once in every two hours. Hence, they don’t need any other food or sweet. Food takes more time to get digested and get converted into energy. So, even if they are taking food daily, they will feel lethargic. Unlike food, honey starts giving energy from the next 10 minutes, and it continues to give energy for the next 2 hours. If we take honey for once in two hours continuously, sugar percentage will come down and there is no chance of the patient have fatigue.

31. Myth: Since olden days, fasting is given more importance, in the process of protecting health. Similarly, for any auspicious work to be done, the elderly will suggest fasting. That is our tradition. So, fasting has such significance. Then, why are the doctors and some people don’t recommend fasting? What is the reason?

Truth: Our ancestors have given us wealth (health) and eternal happiness (spiritually) though the knowledge of fasting. It has been a part of our life since generations. In time, gradually, just as the practice of riotousness in life is dwindling, the practice of fasting, health principles, dwindled to some extent. Since the day man is habituated to rest, and sweating at all, eating food for the sake of taste (that too giving importance to artificial tastes), and changed fasting according to his benefits, the principle of fasting has taken the wrong path. All our lifestyle mistakes will be surfaced on the first or second day of fasting, such as drinking less water, taking tea and coffee in large quantities, eating breakfast items that are made with oil, eating spices heavily in food, taking medicine which suppress the disease inside the body.

Because of such habits and tastes, the body accumulates waste in the body. The diseased particles gather in the body, paving way to diseases. As long as we eat according to the time (eating without feeling hunger), the waste doesn’t move out, so, we don’t feel the problems all the days. As long as food is there in the stomach, the waste will not move from the body. Hence, as long as we eat food, the waste doesn’t come out. All the 24 hours, there is some food in the stomach, so, it is all about waste accumulating, but not moving it out. So, we don’t face any problems and as a result, we think that the food we are eating is good. In this way, we have made the body habituated to such habits and converted the body into a dust bin. Once in a week or on some auspicious day, or for some puja, you will do fasting. You will start it with either normal water or honey or without taking anything. When there is no solid food in the stomach, it gets rest and during this time, it moves the stored waste. Then, in the beginning of the fasting itself, we will face different problems such as headache, inflammation of eyes, fatigue, body pains, absentmindedness, stomach ache etc. Observing the problems that we face, some family member will advise you not to do fasting, as it may not be compatible to all bodies. And we also get support from others who say that we also had faced such problems during fasting. We feel that they are correct. And this negative propaganda will affect everyone at home – children and youngsters. But, no one realizes that those problems are the natural outcome of the body having waste matter stored inside and because it is moving. Attributing all these changes and problems to fasting has become a habit of people.

When you are doing fasting, if you face any problems other than normal, then unable to bear them, you will consult a doctor. You will tell your story of fasting to him. He knows only to prescribe medicine – he doesn’t know what happens in fasting and why it had happened like that. If he had the habit of doing fasting, he would have known about fasting. He doesn’t like fasting, as he feels it is not scientific. If he sees such cases of people going to him and telling about the problems occurred during fasting, his assumptions are fasting will find proof. So, the doctors will start scolding those who do fasting. All this story is happening without taking the advice of the nature cure doctor. This is happening because people are doing fasting either taking coffee, or eating puri or not eating anything in the day time but eating at night time, or not taking anything at all during fasting. So, as people are doing fasting the way they like and ultimately blaming fasting for all the side effects caused.

In another way also, there is a setback for nature cure and fasting method. Some people stay in the nature cure hospitals, do fasting according to the doctor’s advice, but if cannot control the mind, eat something, have problems and then blame the fasting method. Some people do fasting well, but post-fasting days, they cannot eat the insipid food (because of no taste), starve the body, suffer from fatigue, lose blood, and get new diseases, and then finally, blame the nature cure treatment. As they cannot utilize the nature cure hospital well, they spoil the reputation of the nature cure method. Otherwise, there is no chance of such things in these methods. Because, these are nature’s principles. Do remember.

32. Myth: In your fasting, per day, they are using 250 gm honey. If they use that amount to honey in one day, they get more energy than eating rice. How is it called fasting, then?

Truth: On normal days, a man gets 2000 to 3000 calories of energy from food. To get that much of energy, the body needs to work from morning to night. Though the body is doing fasting, for it to be energetic, to melt the stored fat, for the mind to work properly, a minimum of 800 calories energy is needed every day. To get this 800 calories of energy to the body, without work (intestines and body), we need to use honey, which can give the energy like that. We get energy without work., So, with honey, that is the benefit. Even for the purpose of energy (800 calories), if we eat lighter food, then it cannot be fasting. The energy that we get through honey, is spent easily as and when we get it. So, (either we work or lie down), the energy gets spent easily. It is true that if we eat honey 250 grams, it gives more energy than that of rice. Through rice, we get 2000 calories of energy, from honey, we get around half of the calories, but, everyone agrees that honey is stronger than rice. After eating rice, we start getting energy after 2-3 hours. But, after drinking honey, energy comes in 10-15 minutes. This is the reason, why we feel honey is more powerful. That’s why, you are thinking – unknowingly - that drinking honey is not fasting. Most of the people, stop drinking honey and facing fatigue problem.

33. Myth: You say that vising nature cure centres one or two times a year is a mistake. Is there a problem visiting nature cure centres multiple times?

Truth: In the nature cure ashrams, nature cure methods are preached which - in relation to health – identify the mistakes we do and suggest a good life style, and preach us completely, what is good, what is bad, what is health, what is ill-health. We get diseases for the mistakes we do – consciously or unconsciously. Unable to bear the problems, we go to the doctors who give us medicine (allopathy, homeopathy and Ayurveda). They don’t rectify the mistakes we have committed, but prescribe some medicine and give us temporary relief. This is one kind of doctors. Another kind of doctors may cure the disease, but they do not give medicine to recur the disease in future. So, we need to visit the hospitals again and again, whenever we are attacked by diseases. As long as do not realize why we are being affected by diseases and how to howto change the food, we will be visiting the hospitals again and again, and consequently suffer, as long as we live.

If you visit nature cure hospital and get the complete understanding of the cause and remedy of the diseases, you can destroy the disease with roots. And, if you follow the diet principles they teach you, you can ensure that you won’t face the disease again in life. Those who go the nature cure hospital, and get the understanding and change their mindset, they can come back as doctors. And, he can take care of his health, as a doctor, the next time, when needed. He can also guide all his family members, about all health issues. Our house should become a hospital and we should turn as doctors. But, after learning about nature cure methods, if we do the same mistakes again and again, then when can we mend our life style? Those who do not follow the nature cure ashram, and come back as patients to the ashram - it’s an unforgivable mistake. On a spiritual path, you seek the guidance of a guru, start following him, and then you take a U turn, and do all the mistakes, as earlier – this is also that kind of a mistake. If we do the same mistake again and again, for us to realize, how many epochs we may need? Nature cure hospitals are like courts, which preach justice and which punish wrong doings. If you visit courts again and again, we may lose our reputation. But, if we visit nature cure ashrams again and again, the nature cure hospitals are losing their reputation. Visiting the nature cure hospitals again and again is only like playing with the divine principles, but we cannot better ourselves.

34. Myth: We haven’t done fasting. After reading your book, started eating normal food and using honey. The sugar levels are increased a bit. You said that, because of honey, sugar levels wouldn’t increase. What is the reason for the increased sugar levels?

Truth: When you are eating normal food, the body cells will not take the glucose from the food in time, the glucose will be in the blood for more time. That’s the reason why the sugar percentage will be more. If the body is like this, if you use honey in larger quantity, the glucose percentage in honey (around 39%), enters the blood, and gets mixed with the glucose of your food. That’s why, the glucode which you get through honey, instead of giving energy to the cells immediately, stays in the blood for more time. Because of this reason, sugar increases. If you take the same honey on empty stomach, the sugar doesn’t increase. The honey enters the blood immediately and turns into energy. In fact, initially, when you start drinking honey, though sugar may increase, but ultimately, sugar will not increase due to honey. That’s why, in fasting, even if you drink 250 ml honey (without food), sugar levels won’t go up. While taking salt and oil, if you take honey, because of their effect, honey cannot be taken well into the body. It is not the fault of honey – but, salt and oil. We feel that the sugar levels are increased, when we drink honey. Without using salt and oils, if you cook the food we taught you, you can take any amount of honey. It won’t affect you and the sugar levels won’t increase. Just it will be like eating sweet.

35. Myth: Through ‘Shanka prakshalana’ (drinking salt water and going for defecation), the large intestine (faeces intestine) is cleaned thoroughly, and finally, only white water (as drunk) is coming out, and the intestine is getting cleaned thoroughly. You said that during in all fasting days, enema is mandatory. Instead of doing enema every day, how about doing Shanka prakshalan on the first day itself and start fasting? Will it work like this?

Truth: If you drink 1 litre of water, in 15 minutes, the water enters the stomach and intestines and mixes with water, and then from one hour, starts coming out in the form of urine. The body takes water immediately, so the stomach gets emptied immediately. If you drink 1 litre salt water, instead of going to stomach, intestine and then to enter blood, it will enter into the large intestines, going through stomach and small intestine. Now, the question is, why didn’t the salt water mix with blood in 15 minutes? Salt is something unnecessary to the body. So, the body doesn’t take what it doesn’t need. That is the nature of the body. Salt is toxin, hence, when you keep some salt in the mouth, you spit it out immediately. It is the s`ame salt which is giving us taste in our food items. But, why were you not able to take it inside? The body doesn’t take any item which harms it. When a thorn sticks in the foot, the body tries to throw it away. Similarly, here, salt is also like a thorn. That’s why, from the moment you drink salt water, the body tries to throw it out. In two ways of discharging (vomiting and defecation), the body tries to send out salt water.

Drinking salt water, and then vomiting all the salt water and cleaning the stomach is called, ‘gaja karna’. We want to vomit the salt water, that’s why we drink more and hence, we feel like vomiting immediately. When we do ‘shanka prakshalanam’, we drink salt water, by wanting to discharge it out through faeces, hence we don’t get vomiting. To protect the intestines and stomach from the salt water we take inside, the body send some water into stomach and intestines and dilutes the salt water. If we cut the snake gourd and sprinkle salt on the pieces, the water from the pieces reaches salt and dilutes the slat and save the piece from salt. So, in our body, till the salt water goes out, throughout the passage the salt water goes, body sends water to the area to save the intestines. The salt water that we drink, come out of the body in 15 to 30 minutes, along with faetes, through the large intestines. First time, the faeces which comes along with salt water – which is ready to be discharged – moves and comes out. Initially, it will be discharged in heavy quantity. Again, you will drink stomach ful of salt water. In 15 to 30 minutes again, the soaked faeces will come out along with the salt water. What comes out in the second time, will be lesser than that of the first time. This way, you drink salt water, till you discharge watery faeces in white color. You are thinking that if the white water comes out, then the intestine is cleaned up. But, it is not correct.

We see that the silencer of the scooter is closed with smoke. We use salt water to clean and open up the faeces intestine. For the scooter silencer, we pour some kerosene, soak it for some time and then throw the liquid away, that kerosene comes with black color. For the first time, the carbon that is soaked well, comes out. In the second time, we pour kerosene, shake and throw the kerosene away, the black color reduces now. If you do it for 5-6 times, then, the kerosene comes out as fresh, as you pour it. If it comes like that, then the silencer is cleaned well. Once you do this, cut the pipe and see. You will see that there is so much carbon stuck to the sides of the pipe. That’s why, if the silencer is completely closed, they will burn and cut it and then clean it. Kerosene goes only a little, it won’t go completely. Similarly, if you drink salt water half a dozen times discharge the waste successfully, and finally even if the water is discharged out in white color, the stored faeces (which has been stored for many years), would stick to the intestine walls and it cannot be removed. For the salt water this faeces doesn’t move because, the body puts all its efforts to move out the salt water so that the intestines don’t get damaged due to the salt water. Hence, the salt water cannot move out the faeces which sticks to the intestines. For example, when we are travelling on the road, if it rains all of a sudden, then, just not to get wet, we take any shelter that is nearby. We don’t see whether it is a hut or a building – we don’t choose it according to the status, the time and situation won’t work there. Moreover, when any waste needs to be discharged, the mind should be peaceful. The stomach should be empty. When watery liquid is getting discharged out, how can the mind be peaceful? Moreover, the mind tries to save the stomach and intestines, and doesn’t move the waste at all. When the mind gives the order, then only, the stored faeces will be moved. For example, when you don’t feel like defecate, how hard you may try, the faeces won’t come out. Similarly, even with salt water it is not possible, because, the presence of the mind is important.

Those who suffer from severe constipation, even if they do enema twice a day and do fasting, for 30 to 40 days, even the slightest amount of faeces won’t come out. We may try enema with neem leaves water, lemon water and soapberry, but, still, we don’t see any result. As you said, we made them drink salt water multiple times, but it did not move. Even some times, if we use salt water with enema, there won’t be any result. Only the body needs to move it out, but we cannot do anything. In fasting, the faeces comes out after soaking for so many days of enema. So, it is not possible as you said that faeces comes out in 4 hours, if we drink salt water. It’s like this example: when we are travelling on highways, on the roadside, some people sell fruit baskets. In the basket, on the top, fresh, big fruit are placed. We think they are given at low price and we buy the fruit. When we check them at home, it’s fraud! On the top, big, fresh fruit! But, in the bottom rows, all the rotten fruit. We won’t realize until we see them. Similarly, unless you check in enema (in fasting), you will know how much faeces is going out in ‘shamka prakshalanam’. So, that’s why, as long as we do fasting, enema is mandatory. We have no other way.

36. Myth: We see that people who do not have any diseases or obesity, also do fasting with you. People who cannot do fasting – if they don’t have any problems – can they protect their health, by eating the dishes you prescribed? For them, fasting is not necessary?

Truth: It would be easy to do fasting and eat what we prescribe. In fasting, the tongue loses its taste. So, the tongue will adjust to the salt-less dishes. People who are habituated to the salt and spices may find it difficult to adjust to our dishes. Don’t be scared of the salt-less dishes, when you taste them for the first time. You have to control your mind. Otherwise, the taseless dishes may make you feel disgust for them, for the whole life. As we churn curd, just as the butter is formed, despite the taste, whatever we eat wholeheartedly, after four days, the tongue will get adjusted to the taste. From the day you eat the dishes with happiness, then they will start giving you results. A long as you eat them forcefully, the food won’t support you and you will feel fatigue.

Those who cannot do fasting and those who do not have any diseases, it is enough if they are willing to eat our food. Whenever they get the opportunity (if they find time), they can do fasting. But, initially, without fasting, if you try to change food, you may feel inconvenient. If you leave the bad habits all at once, the body cannot adjust itself and suffers a bit. If you wait for four days, they get adjusted. As long as you take our food, you won’t face any diseases and problems. You will be happy and peaceful. But, don’t be complacent and stop fasting. Though you get time, if you postpone it, then you cannot do it later. Whenever you get an opportunity to do fasting and if you learn about it in depth, then, in future, you will not depend on anybody and make your life memorable. Never forget the fasting saves you like an umbrella. Just as we use umbrella to protect ourselves from sun rays, we have to use fasting only for the need.

37. Myth: Some people say that if we can do nature cure for one month, we can be healthy for the whole year. How far is it true?

Truth: If you clean the house once in a year, and if you find it clean throughout the year, then you can assume that your body will also be healthy like that. For every festival, we feel that cleaning is necessary. But, you are thinking that your body – the place where you reside – can be cleaned once in a year. Though your house is well-protected with windows and curtains from dust, still you will clean it before the festival comes. But, we roam in dust; what we inhale is not air, but smoke; what we chew and drink is not water but cool drinks and beers; what we eat is unnecessary salts, oils, spices and un-digesting meat. While making so many mistakes – and cleaning the body twice a day outside – we want to clean the body inside, once in a year. How can it be sufficient? Those who take the Ayyappa diksha (oath), follow all the rules strictly and those two months, they will be happy – mentally and physically. But the remaining 10 months, it will be normal, because they discard the principles once the diksha is over. If the nature cure method is practiced for one month, and then practice the rules daily in life, then we can guarantee that you can be healthy throughout the year.

38. Myth: As we do enema daily during fasting, after we stop fasting, i.e., once we start food again normally, will enema be habituated to us? Without it cannot we go for motions?

నిజం: As we don’t eat in fasting, there won’t be any pressure from top, and the faeces doesn’t move down. That’s why, enema is being used to move out the stored faeces. In fasting, we just let the patient to drink 1 litre of water in the morning, at a time, so that motions happen on time. After this is completed, we will give him enema. We are teaching them to drinking 1 litre water so that whatever waste is available, it should be moved out. This will be useful even after post-fasting. From the day, fasting is stopped with fruit juices, some amount of waste will be developed in the intestines. As the intestine becomes clean and empty, the faeces that enters the intestine, moves forward and reaches the bottom. Because of the fruit and raw vegetables that we eat later, much faeces is formed, and will be moved forward actively. The fibre that we get from fruit and vegetables contains that property. Because of drinking one litre of water, just as we get up in the morning, we will have motion without any need for enema. Similarly, it will happen in the evening as well. As the food we eat post-fasting is good and rich with fibre, we don’t need enema for motions. You need not doubt that enema will be habituated. Enema is like a stick which is used when we are limping and need support. After the leg is cured, we don’t use the stick, just because we are habituated. Just as we discard the stick when we are alright, we will discard enema, once the fasting is over.

30. Myth: People who are doing fasting elsewhere are taking only a few days. But, with you, the fasting days are more, it seems. We heard from other nature cure doctors that if we drink honey 2-3 times, then fasting will be complete in fewer days, and if we drink honey 8 times, then fasting will take more days. How far is it true?

Truth: For the body not to get damaged, it is mandatory to drink honey 8 times in fasting. We should not break the body principles when doing fasting. It depends on the waste matter stored in the body that how many days fasting will take. If honey creates more waste matter to the body, then – as you think – there will be more fasting days. But, honey is not such food. Honey gives only energy, without causing any effort to the intestines and without adding any new waste in the body. In the current society, because of the various taste, white rice, artificial food items, and because of the lack of physical exercise, waste matter is being developed in the body. Moreover, they are coming to fasting, only after trying different types of medicine. For such people, it takes a longer time for the body to get cleansed. In general, the body cannot continue in fasting, till all the waste is removed from it, with just the honey, taken only 2-3 times a day. Because of this, people stop fasting due to fatigue, before they see complete symptoms to stop fasting. By checking the redness of the tongue, many people stop fasting, in a few days. We suggest to stop fasting only after 10-11 symptoms are displayed. Our duty is to start fasting. Stopping it is not our wish – according to the body’s wish, as many days the body demands, fasting needs to be continued. Similarly, we should stop fasting only when the body says so. As honey is not taken, most of the people stop fasting, due to fatigue, before the body wants. In our fasting, it doesn’t happen like that. That’s why, it is not true that if we drink less honey, the fasting will be done in fewer days. With us, fasting won’t take more days for all of them. For some people, fasting will be completed in 7 days; for some more 10-15 days; and there will be some people, who take 20-30 days; and there will be some, who take more days. As you think, if drinking more honey, can make more fasting days, is true, then no one should complete fasting before 10 days, with us. But, it is not happening like that. There is no relation between honey and the more number of fasting days. Most of the people are doing our fasting, by staying at their homes, while doing lighter tasks as well as office work. For those people, who work without taking rest in fasting, fasting takes more days, compared to those who take rest during fasting. The difference will be around 4-5 says. If rest is taken, the body gets cleaned quickly. That’s the reason why the people who fast with us do fasting for more days. But, there is nothing wrong in it. If the fasting, which is supposed to take 20 days, if gets extended to 25 days – as long as there are not problems and fatigue – it is fine. They are happy to end fasting in such a safe way.

40. Myth: In your books and speeches, about the nature cure methods, the same thing is repeated in writing and speech. Is it necessary?

Truth: In the process of rectifying the understanding gaps of the people who visit me with their doubts, and myths, I need to explain the concepts from different angles. Because of this, there is a need to repeat certain things, in detail.

All the current medical methods have become as business methods and misguiding the people. Even in nature cure methods, they are hiding the truth and making the people have myths about the subject. They have also created an opportunity to blame these methods.

On the other side, people who are habituated to food and tastes, after suffering from ill health, after trying all other medical treatments, in despair, choose this method, we need to tell them the truth again and again to dispel their habits, myths, sentiments etc. Only then, they will have complete faith and take up this method with courage. Those people who have chronic diseases indicates that they are addicted to strong food habits, and are unable to come out of them. As a doctor, if I tell the truth again and again, considering their health and future life, their mind-set will be changed. That is the reason why I try to explain the nature cure method in different angles.

When we churn curd once, butter won’t be formed. Similarly, we may not change the minds of people by telling them only once. Just as we keep churning the curd, we will get butter. In the same way, the mind will get the understanding. There are instances that some good concepts and truths are repeated in the book. For wise people and those who have photographic memory, this may be cause inconvenience, but it is repeated keeping in view the common people. I request not to misunderstand the intention.

Experiences - Feelings

Dr. Pratap Kumar Experiences

Whatever organ you take, it is made of tissues. With a mixture of different tissues, different organs are formed. Thought the cells of different organs are fulfilling the responsibilities, every cell needs air, water and food. There is a good mechanism in the body, to provide these three elements to each cell. They are called capillaries. To these capillaries, are attached with two blood vessels – To one side, one blood vessel is attached which carries good blood (fresh air, pure water, blood with food), from heart; another blood vessel which carries the waste matter (polluted air, water) from the cells to the heart. This mechanism is called capillary bed. This capillary bed provide the tissues as the required things, removes out all the waste from the tissues and keeps the cells always in clean environment, and ensures that the cells perform their responsibilities well.

We are talking about this mechanism, because, the healthier the cells are, the healthier the man is. If each cell fulfils its 100% responsibility, the body with all these cells will be 100% healthy. It means, a person is said to be healthy, when each cell of the body is able to have 100% capability to work.

Man’s health problems are primary caused by two reasons. One is the open reason, the other one is the internal reason. The open reason is the health problems caused by polluted air, food, contamination water, bad environment and injuries. Though these diseases cause immediate problems, they will be cured in a short time. So, we are not discussing about them here.

If the tissues of the body, for some reason, not able to fulfil their duties 100%, then we can treat it as the internal cause. There internal reasons are causing chronic diseases to man. The nature’s law has no way for these internal reasons. The capillary bed is the shelter for these internal reasons. As long as the food is carried to the cells from the capillary bed and the waste from the cells is well discharged out from the body, i.e., everything is as the express high way, there won’t be any chronic diseases. When there are obstacles on this high way, then only, we face chronic diseases. You cannot know the solutions for these obstacles, unless you know how they are formed.

Blood vessels and the movement of fluids between the cells (capillary bed)

You can observe that, in the front side corner of the capillary bed, 32 mm hg, in the middle 25 mm, and at the next corner 12 mmhg. Coming from the front corner to the next corner, the difference is 32-12 mm. This difference under pressure, is much needed for the swift fluid movement.

Despite how well the kidneys are working, let us see what happens if we use more salt daily, than what the body needs. The salt that enters from stomach into the blood and the salt that is not completely discharged from the kidneys, must be stored somewhere in the body. This salt is stored in the space between the cells, called intercellular space. This intercellular space is located near the capillary bed. The salt stored here, reduces the 20 mm hg difference, which is pressurized between the beginning and end. The more the difference reduces, the more movement reduces, between the fluids. As a result, the movement of fresh air, water and food and the waste discharged from the cells, which are supposed to reach from the front corner of the capillary bed, reach the next corner of the capillary bed. Because of this, a great obstacle happens there. It means, cells need to live in the polluted environment, where they cannot fulfil their responsibilities 100%. Eventually, this capillary bed will be used as a shelter for all chronic diseases. All the people who understand and follow nature cure methods, know this fact very well. Once fasting is started, every person who is between 70-75 kg will reduce around 4 kg weight in the fir four days. Then, every day, is able to reduce only 100-200 gm weight. The reason for this is: every day, one litre of water along with salt is discharged out through kidneys. After 4-5 days, there won’t be any additional salt water in the capillary bed. So, they are not reducing 1 kg weight every day. The reduction of 100-200 gm weight happens because of the melting of fats. After 4-5 days fasting, the cells of the body will see clean environment. And, start working energetically. The effort to dispel chronic diseases starts from that day.

Those Indians, who are not being successful in national and international sports – if follow this nature’s rule – then, they can achieve their goal. No doubt about it. The pressure will be completely removed with the blood flow. So, the work pressure will be reduced to the heart. Heart diseases will be solved. The cells will utilize glucose completely. So, diabetes will be cured. As the cells dwell in the polluted environment daily, allergy-related diseases are caused, due to the compound, called histamine. Once we follow the nature’s rules, a healthy environment will be formed for the cells and the diseases such as asthma, skin diseases, cold are disappearing.

My father had heart disease. I used to worry if I will have heart disease and I used to think about health insurance for 2 lakh rupees. But, for those people who know the nature cure methods, this sounds funny. We see people who say, “my mother has diabetes. So, I also will be affected by it one day. It is better to be tested often”, or “all my elders in the family has B.P. So, I also will definitely be affected by it. But, it is very sad that people do not know the absolute truth that chronic diseases won’t affect the people who follow nature cure method. That’s why, it is our primary responsibility of every patriotic Indian to follow nature cure methods and propagate the uses of it.

India is losing crores of rupees through chronic diseases. With one TV advertisement, if all the Indians stop salt and implement the nature’s rules, we can settle the debt in 3 years, what India has made during the last 50 years. By forgetting, amusing and disregarding the golden words of our ancestors, that ‘fasting is the absolute medicine’, we have made a unforgivable crime. Our responsibility is to realize the social truth, “if you save dharma, dharma will save you” (dharmo rakshathi rakshitaha), and transfer the knowledge of nature cure laws to the next generation of people. This is the call Mahatma Gandhi has given to the nation. This is the tribute we can offer to the Mahatma and Mother India. We appreciate the ever-youthful and inspired being Sri Manthen Satyanarana Raju, who has studied nature’s laws deeply, implement them in his life and is striving hard to pass the knowledge to people free of cost. In our society, all the doctors who are trained in and offering medical services in various medical domains such as allopathy, homeopathy, unani, Ayurveda, Yoga, Acupressure, know clearly that they are not able to give people the complete treatment for their ailments. In fact, it is every doctor’s responsibility, to be broad minded and be open to any segment of medical field to understand and offer it to the public, without having the egoistic mind-set that their medical domain is the best of all. If we check nature’s dharmas, everyone will get their solution. This is my deep, strong faith. I am glad to be part of this gigantic movement, initiated by Shri Manthena Satyanarana Raju garu. Though, people’s laxity, bad habits, and craving for tastes, may affect the movement, I wish all the people who follow the nature’s dharma, will strive hard in healing the bruises, and continue the journey for the betterment of human welfare. With this faith in my heart, I end my speech here.

Experiences of Dr. Srinivasa Rao

Good Morning to all!

My name is Nyapathi Srinivasa Rao. I have been working as a homeopathic doctor, for the last 14 years. As the English writer, Mr. Norman Jollyman explained in the book, “Good Health – Naturally without drugs”, we can attain good results with the combination of the two methods homeopathy and naturopathy. Because, as everyone knows, there are no side effects in homeopathic method. They are natural systems. That’s why, this combination gives good results in my practice. The English scientist Dr. Ignatz Von Pecezely invented “Iridology” and it is developed by two other English scientists – Henry Lindlahr and Dr. Bernard Jensen. They offered ‘Iridology’ as a science to the society. Iridology means, checking the pupil of the eye to know the health of different part of the body. I am using this method in my practice as well. With this method, we can know - if there any problem in any of the organs of the body or we can know in advance, which parts of the body are prone to problems in the coming future, so that we can take food and medicine accordingly.

I had the acquaintance of Dr. Satyanarayana Raju through Mr. Vijaya Kumar, the head of “Vijay Nirman Company’. Earlier I had a different opinion about this fasting. Without doing the fasting, eight months ago, I used to take the food, as suggested by Mr. Raju, in the naturopathic method, without salt. As I was eating naturally, without salt, my body lost its unnecessary weight, and discharged the stored toxins (as cold and diarrhea) with tremendous speed. After that, the body was so healthy, light and powerful. At that time, I started doing fasting. It took 9 days for me to complete fasting. I could lose 4 kg of weight during those 9 days. More importantly, the fears about fasting and other different kinds of opinions are dispelled. I gained a feeling of courage in the heart.

As a doctor, what I felt was: if we get evaluated (doctor’s advice about the health condition) the health of our body organs before we take up fasting, it will be more useful in our fasting. For example, through iridology diagnosis, we can know which organ’s power of the patient is dwindled or is going to dwindle, so that we can remove the toxins of the organ, and then take precautions in the food we give him. That means, paying attention about the nutritious food and medicine to give to the organ.

Another important thing is: If a healthy human being cannot do honey water fasting (when the time cannot be adjusted), he can do fasting with vegetable juices or fresh fruit. Because of this, the toxins of the body will be cleaned. Moreover, it won’t create any strain to the digestive system, giving an opportunity for the body to rectify itself, and as a result, strengthens your organs. In case of diseased people doing fasting – for example, those who have chronic diseases and degenerative diseases (cancer, cirrhosis liver, severe arthritis), they need to do fasting under the observation of a naturopath. Dr. Satyanarayana Raju is well experienced in this. Also, the follow up action that he takes, gives the patient so much inspiration and courage to the patient. The different natural methods that we use in fasting, such as enema, steam bath, massage, tub bath (totti snanam), help us discharge toxins through the excretory organs such as renal (kidney), lungs, digestion, skin, lymphatic and thereby reduce the number of fasting days. I believe that fasting is the fest way to cleanse the body.

The way Dr. Satyanarayan Raju garu has learnt so many useful things at an early age and using the knowledge to the welfare of the society is so commendable. I conclude here by wishing God to always given him success in attempting his goal.

Complete Health - Dr. N.P.V.S Raju

I consider the day very auspicious, three months ago, when I met Dr. M. Satyanarana Raju. My friends, Mr. Bangaru Raju and Mr. G.S. Raju have taken naturopathic treatment with him and got very good results. For the last two months my wife Surya Kumari, our daughter Dr. Padmavathi and myself have been following nature cure method and attained good results – mentally and physically.

The natural remedy Mr. Satyanarana Raju does, compared to other natural methods is quite different. He has studied pharmacy. From generations, the natural remedy methods are implemented in his family. He has read many Telugu and English books about naturopathy and implemented many experiments on himself first and then introduced to all a new naturopathic medical method, which can be practical and can last forever. In addition, his simple living style, unselfishness have added more value to this. Thousands of people, in Amalapuram, Vijag and Hyderabad are following this new nature cure method happily and getting rid of chronic ailments.

In Amalapuram, many renowned doctors have practised his nature cure medical method themselves and prescribe it to their patients and cured so many chronic diseases. As an allopathic doctor, I have correlated his knowledge with the medical science I know and decided to implement it throughout my life.

My age is 55 years. I have been taking medicine for blood pressure for the last 10 years. When taking the medicine, it would be 140/90. I am suffering from neck pain and back pain. I used to have inflammation in the stomach when chilli and sour food is eaten or when the food is taken beyond the scheduled time. I had the doubt that doing fasting with lemon juice can cause inflammation.

Under doctor’s supervision, I have fasted for 10 days, with honey and lemon. I have taken 8 lemon per day. But, I never felt the inflammation. Then, I have taken fruit juices for 2 days, raw vegetables and fruit for 3 more days. During fasting, I attended office and worked more enthusiastically. After 15 days, I stopped salt, oil, dry chilli, tamarind and used only boiled vegetables, sprouts, vegetable juices, raw vegetable pieces, fruit, dates and coconut. I completely stopped drinking coffee and tea. I reduced the medicine gradually and by 10th day, I stopped medicine completely. Now, my B.P. is around 110/90. I no longer have neck pain, back pain and stomach inflammation. I am able to work with more enthusiasm and concentration now.

Dr. Satyanarayana Raju does not want you start fasting immediately after your consultation. Those who listen to his discourses on Sundays, and participate in the discussion, get their doubts clarified; and read his books, 1. Sukha Jeevana Sopanalu (Steps for Happy Life) 2. Aharam – Alochana (Food - Thought), and do fasting from 30 to 55 days, thereby discharging all body waste, are able to get complete health and happiness. If the whole family or at least the wife and husband implement this natural treatment method, then they will get good results.

Without expecting anything, and without any selfishness, Mr. Satyanarana Raju has been working with the aim to share the experiences and happiness to more people in the society. May God bless him with long life and health so that he can serve lakhs of people for their mental and physical happiness.

Opinions of Dr. Satyavathi

Greetings to the Readers

In my 30-plus years of medical experience, I have seen various ailments of the people of Amalapuram, Konaseema and the nearest villages. I used to observe that some diseases couldn’t be controlled with allopathic medicine and some allopathic medicine cause side effects due to taking the tablets for a long-time. I used to think passionately if there would be any solutions for this situation.

In this search, with the encouragement of Mr. Pavuluri Krishna Chowdary, I am familiarized with homeopathic medical treatment, trained in it and finally got the degree in M.F (London). Homeo supported in many times when the allopathic medicine was not satisfactory in curing certain diseases. Homeo medicine don’t do any harm to the body and they are prescribed based on the physical and mental nature of the patients.

In our ever-busy medical profession, we used to have dissatisfaction in terms of so many diseases, especially the chronic ailments.

At that time, we heard about Dr. Satyanarayana Raju, who was then giving treatment for chronic patients in Amalapuram and met him. Based on his advice, we have experienced complete health after implementing the method. Since then, we have advised so many patients to take up this method and ensured that they have experienced satisfactory health benefits.

We cannot buy health, luck, happiness, development, life-span in the market.

It is said, ‘hard work pays’. We can get some of the above, primarily, we can get complete health by working a bit hard. Because of the hard work, you can have complete health.

The present day man, with his mind power, is able to move fast in different fields such as scientific and technical areas. But, in fields especially:

Health

Spirituality

Moral values

moving backwards. Now, the discussion is about health. So, we will look at some main things which cause diseases to man.

The food items which primary give importance only to taste, such as non-vegetarian food, oil, ghee, spices, pulaos, spicy pickles, sweets are very harmful. Taking such food frequently, and resting habits such as sitting in car, office in front of tv, and lying in bed for many hours, can cause us ill-health. The patients need to spend much money and time, and visiting hospitals, emergency, intensive care units. Though medical science has improved a lot in allopathic medical method and saved many lives, but the patients are living with the same habits and spending his last years of life in dangerous fears. Today’s civilized being is finally losing money and life as well.

Those who follow nature cure methods, food, other rules, exercise, yogasanas – though he a chronic disease patient – can get complete health, happiness, activeness, satisfactory lie, without any medicine. This is my faith and my self-experience.

My husband Dr. Chiranjeevi Raju, our junior doctors, some of our hospital staff, some relatives, friends and myself are practicing and getting good results. We are also suggesting this natural cure method to some of the patients (among the thousands of patients that visit us), and making them follow this nature cure method and thereby getting the fruitful results and feeling satisfaction. I am citing here some of the examples. Among these, there is one person ‘Maridi’ of age 50 years who is working here as a staff member. He survived from very dangerous situation and doing his job again. You will read about his experience in another paper. I am citing only a few people who have had the relief with us.

Ex: Diabetes (diabetic girl) A eight year old girl who was suffering from diabetes – Though she was under insulin in a dangerous situation, we successfully made her stop insulin and do fasting, while giving her homeo medicine. Now, after 6 months, she is eating nature food and not taking insulin at all. It was said that she was on the verge of getting affected by blood sugar, she was feared to die. From this situation, she has travelled to the present day where she is enjoying the normal health.

21-year old woman, who is a born diabetic, followed these methods completely, and now living a normal life with having to use insulin.

A 50-years old man originally suffering with Leukemia, practiced nature cure medical methods, while taking homeo medicine. Now, for the last two years, he has been working as the telephone lineman fulfilling his professional duties, without any need for blood transfution.

1. Hypertension complications like, heart failure, renal failure, Ischaemic heart diseases.

2. Nephritis, Nephrotic syndrome, Chronic Renal failure, A cute Renal failure with all associated complications.

3. Hepatitis of all types including Hepatitis B+ Ve cases and cirrhosis liver at different stages - including cases with manifested Ascitis also.

4. Renal stones - gall stones. A cute & chronic pyogenic cholycystitis and multiple gall stones

5. Many cases of all allergies eg: skin, nasal Bronchial etc.

6. Bleeding disorders

7. Auto immune diseses

8. Rheumatic and Rheumatoid arthritis

9. chronic constipation and complications

10. Many severe pre Eclamptic Toxemias are controlled from leading into Eclampsias

All the diseases cited above will be completely cured with us using fasting and nature cure medical methods. We are glad to tell you that we were able to cure these diseases completely and got excellent results. I strongly recommend and reiterate that nature living is completely practical to follow. For example, a hyper tension patient will be treated as mentioned below:

In the emergency situation, B.P and fits will be controlled in allopathic medical method. Then, once they are cured using the nature cure method, they won’t need any medicine again. Only some people, occasionally, need homeo medicine.

In all these situations, based on the disease severity and the patient’s situation, we use enema, fasting and massages. According to the need, we make changes in the nature cure methods.

But, in emergency cases, we initially treat the patients in allopathic way, and then slowly convert them into nature cure methods and are able to give them relief. New life risk, in any medical method, in extreme cases, cannot be avoided.

In our experience, we have noticed that whatever be the medical science, the essence of it is to save life and protecting health. So, we should not think that only our medical method is accurate and great. Our request is to study about other medical sciences so that you can use them as per the need.

At least some medical sciences - say Allopathy, Ayurveda, Nature cure, Homeopathy - if get integrated, and offer medical help according the needs. Then, I trust, the human race would get complete health and pave way for golden era.

Let us dream for the golden era with such complete health, peace and happiness.

We will pray the Mother Nature so that Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju would produce so many people who can sacrifice, commit, serve, work efficiently for the advent of the golden era, and make India a healthier country.

Yours Sincerely

Headache, High B.P - No longer now!

My salutations to the brothers of the Nature! It’s my duty to remember our family goddess “Renuka Devi’ with due reverence, for providing the opportunity of the acquaintance of Dr. Manthena Satyanarana Raju, with whose guidance I could fulfil my long-cherished desire to follow the nature cure methods to treat successfully my chronic ailments – high B.P., constipation, and incessant headache.

For the last 35 years, I have been suffering from hiper tension (150/90 to 180/110), tried so many medicine, and used to get temporary relief. I was restless and with no mental peace because this problem. If we look at my family medical history, my mother, father, one sister, and two brothers have died untimely due to heart high blood pressure and heart diseases. My brother, Sri Chanumolu Venkatrao had bypass surgery in last June and is taking rest now. In June, when I came to visit my brother, in Hyderabad, I could meet Dr. Manthena Satyanarayan Raju through my daughter, Mrs. Prasanna Rani and my son-in-law, Mr. Shakhamuri Suresh Babu. This paved way for fulfilment of my long-cherished desire.

On July 1st, I joined doctor’s Nature Cure Institute and started fasting. After 4-5 days – unlike never before – I felt a great relief from headache, asthma, constipation and spent happily. I could get relief from the problem constipation, by drinking ‘Naturofax’.

During fasting, as I was doing enema, it took 58 days for the waste – which was sticking along the 1.5 meter intestine – to slowly soak and move out along the enema water. Then, my body supported to go for 2-3 times for motions daily. Since then, my ailments such as high blood pressure and headache slowly cured. For blood pressure, I used to take medicine 2-3 times. In the second week of the fasting, the medicine was completely stopped. B.P was complexly cured after 12 days. Now, my B.P is 110/70. Similarly, I used to use half a dozen Amrutanja bottles every month. In fasting, in the first 10 days, the headache is completely cured. Since then, I haven’t suffered from headache again. On June 1st, my weight was 72 kg. After 60 days, it reduced to 62 kg, and the physical feeling was so precious – like flying in the air so lightly, for the first time in life. For the last 35 years, I used to have tea and coffee more than water. In addition to them, I used to have bad habits like smoking and chewing betel nuts. Because of these, I used to spend life as a chronic patient with asthma, suffering day by day.

On 1-7-1998, on the day fasting was started, my haemoglobin was 14.8 gm. After 30 days of fasting, i.e., on 30-7-1998, it increased to 15.3 gm. On the 58th day, i.e., on 28-8-1998, it was 15.7 gm.

Moreover, I didn’t find any keytone bodies in my blood, urine tests. During that time, the blood purification has happened and haemoglobin percent also has increased, which delighted me much.

During the 58-day fasting, as days rolled and as the toxins are discharged out from the body, the mind and the body had a relaxed feeling that I am healthy now, for the first time in life.

Since the last 35 years, the complete health that I could not get with any specialist, from the last 75 days (1-7-1998 from the starting day of fasting to 15-9-1998 the end date), I could feel and provided faith that I can live healthily for the remaining life. It’s because of my good karma of my previous birth that I could meet Dr. Satyanarana Raju so that I can spend my remaining life with health and good life-span. In these 75 days, my weight is reduced from 72 kg to 60 kg.

And finally, I say that even if I spend my remaining life in spreading his sacred ambition in all directions, and support him in this gigantic task and to be helpful for him, would be less for all the gains I have secured in my life because of his selfless sacred life ambition. May god bless him with good health and life span to spend hundred more years for the welfare of the humankind and be a path finder for this cause.

The problem of B.P is no more

My age is 61 years. I have been suffering from low B.P. for the last 25 years. Because of this, I used to face nausea, high level fatigue, lack of strength, not feeling to do anything and excessive sweating. I used to go to doctors. Some doctors used to prescribe some medicine. Some other, would suggest to use more salt. But, still, I couldn’t feel any relieve and would suffer a lot. Last year, in the first week of October, I went to the Shanthi Ashram, after I heard about Dr. Satyanarayana Raju and his nature cure therapy. When I told him that I would practice nature cure methods, he suggested me to come here daily, and know about the nature cure methods and also discuss with the patients about the method, before start practicing the method. I visited the ashram for 8 days, and then he allowed me to practice the nature cure method.

In 1997, from the next day of Diwali festival, I started doing fasting with enema, for the next 30 days, taking honey and lemon water. Since then, as the doctor suggested, I started doing asanas and taking food without salt and oil. Now, I don’t have low B.P. Now, I am healthy and happy. I am not feeling fatigue, despite heavy work.

What I don’t understand is: for the last 25 years, apart from the regular quantity of salt, doctors used to suggest me to use more salt due to low B.P. But, I didn’t get well, despite using salt like that. After doing fasting now, the low B.P. is completely gone. I am perfectly healthy now.

Apart from this low B.P., I have been suffering from knee pains. I wouldn’t take the stare case, even for the first floor. I used to climb the stairs, while moving in the sitting position. I wouldn’t even sit in the Maruthi car, as the legs were not bending. My legs wouldn’t support me to walk or do any work in the house. I consulted half a dozen knee joint specialists – but, of no use. They told me that it is common to have such pain at his age; there is no way but to suffer like this. I felt very sad that I have no hope in life. As doctor said that if nature cure method is practiced, the knee pains would be completely cured, the words have come true. God has given me new legs with the nature cure method. I am now able to do all the asanas the doctor has taught me. Now, I am able to remain in Padmasana for 10 minutes. I am not walking 3 km in the morning, climbing up 3 floor building for multiple times, working myself without any maid. But, despite all this, I don’t have any pain in the knees, and I am happy and healthy. It is true that the whole credit – to turn old people like us into youngsters – goes to the nature care method. May the Mother Nature and the God bless doctor - who could make this possible for me - is the with 100 years of life.

Bypass operation could be avoided

Greetings to the Readers!

My name is R. Rama Raju. My age is 60 years. Since 1991, I have heart problem. Since then, I have been taking treatment from Dr. Raja Gopala Raju (in NIIMS and in Medwin) and taking medicine. Many times I have undergone the tests such as TMT, ECO, EGG. My body is in fact running because of the medicine. In 1996, they I was asked to take the TMT test from Medinova. When I was walking on the belt, I felt heart pain and made me worried. They asked me to chew sorbitrate tablet, lay me on the bed, gave the report, and asked me to meet the doctor. Immediately, I met Dr. Raja Gopla Raju. He asked me to get the angiogram report so that I can plan bypass surgery (heart operation). He advised me not to worry and asked me to come in one month for the surgery. He said, it was not that serious to worry. I wanted to get the surgery done in Puttaparthi, as the charges will be more in Hyderabad. After 10 days, I visited Satya Sai Super Speciality Hospital. The doctor there, did EGG, ECO, TMT angiogram tests and suggested me to take medicine for the time being. He said, the surgery will be done, when it is necessary. They have fed my case in their computer. Since then, I have been taking medicine for 2 years. In 1997, February, when Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju was in Ganga Parru, in Bheemavaram, I met him and learnt about nature cure method. He assured me that my heart would become normal and sugar would come down. In February, I started fasting, and could do fasting for 19 days. During fasting, the sugar came down. Then, I started taking fruit juices, raw vegetable pieces, then boiled curry, pulkas, while doing asanas, pranayamam daily. After four months of time, i.e., on June 2, 1997, I got a letter from Puttaparthi, for the surgery. It took me two years, according to the serial, to get the chance for surgery. They did ECG, ECO, TMT tests again. They said that there was no problem at all in the heart, even angiogram is also not required and no need to take any medicine, and sent me back. Till the doctors told me about my heart status, I didn’t reveal that I had stopped taking medicine for the last 4 months and undergoing nature cure method. But, they were surprised realizing the situation. Then I went to Hyderabad again on 19-9-1997, to re-assure my heart status. Though the doctors at Puttaparthi said the surgery is not needed, I didn’t believe them completely, and met Dr. Raja Gopala Raju for confirmation. I told him about using the nature cure method and stopping medicine. He did all the tests again and assured me that there was no need to take medicine. He felt happy that everything was good. In nature cure method, my skin allergy is cured three fourths, and only one fourth is left. I am confidence that it would also be cured soon. Now, I am able to do all tasks, lifting weights etc. like all others. I am feeling good, in every way. Post February, 1997, I have been following the nature cure principles without any break. My heart-feIt gratitude to Dr. Manthena Satyanarana Raju who made me completely healthy, even without having the need for heart surgery.

Yours Sincerely.

Heart Recovered

My acquaintance with Sri Satya Narayana Raju has happened through my friend, co-student, colleague, Mr. K. Anandayya, in 1997. As I was thinking to meet him, it so happened that he came to Hyderabad, then I had the opportunity to take up the nature cure method - which he has been implementing with steadfast commitment - in April 1998.

After 11 days of fasting, as he advised, I had taken vegetables, fruit, fruit juices for 4 days and then started meals. Though I could reduce only 6 kg, my body felt very light and fresh. Then, based on this advice, I started yogasanas. Because of these, I am able to get enough exercise, and as a result, I am able to work enthusiastically, throughout the day.

Since the day I started nature cure method, I stopped the allopathic tablet, which I have been using for heart disease. This, I haven’t informed to my doctor friend, N V Rayudu. I didn’t tell him because, he might not accept to my stopping medicine and taking fasting. After doing like this for 4 months, I went for the tests again. After he told me that my heart was working fine and I lost the earlier inconvenience, then, I revealed to him about the nature cure method. Though initially, he was surprised, he felt very happy and advised to continue. My B.P. – on medicine – was 130/80. Post nature cure, it is now 120/80. In the same way, the cholesterol level in blood is also changed.

Sri Satyanarayana Raju has made nature cure methods popular and is working hard with the life’s ambition to make health available to all the people. I wish all his efforts are successful and may he provide happy life to so many people.

Liver Cirrhosis, Survived from heart problem

Greetings to all! My name is Srinivas. I belong to Amalapuram mandal, vanne chintalapudi village. My age is 17 years. I had Jaundice when I was 13 years old. I took “Vella” medicine. Then, my stomach would be bloated. I consulted Dr. Subbaraju at Sumanasa. He said that the stomach is bloated with fluid and asked me take the report. After scanning, he said that there is fluid in my stomach and prescribed some medicine. I took the medicine but it is not cured. Then, I went to Kakinada General Hospital. I stayed there in 2 months. Based on the test reports, they said, there are problems in heart, liver, and there is water in the lungs. They used to take water out from the left lung; the fluid would be around 750 gm. Like that, they have taken fluid out 10 times. This way, I suffered for one year. Then, I took homeo medicine, but it was not cured. Then, I went to Puttaparthi Satyasai Super Speciality Hospital. The heart specialists there, tested my heart. They said that the heart is increased in size (dilated cardiomyopathy).

They prescribed some medicine, temporarily. I realized that even there, there was no treatment. My life was going on with these medicine. Then, I encountered with a dangerous disease. My parents admitted me in Dr. Pampana Nageshwarrao hospital in Amalapuram. I was in coma there for one week. The doctor said that it was Cirrhosis of liver. He also said that it has no medicine and the situation was hopeless. There was in infection to the intestines in the stomach and it caused Ascites (jalodaram disease) disease. Due to that, the stomach would be bloated like that of a pregnant woman. Then, an Ayurvedic doctor has given me a medicine, which controlled the problem to some extent. But, still, I could not walk even for a furlong distance. I used to feel asthma always, and the heart would be felt tightened. I wouldn’t feel like eating or sleeping. I suffered like hell, for 24 hours. Then, Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has come like god. In fact, Mr. Nadimpalli Bapiraju has recommended my case to Dr. Satyanarayana Raju. Dr. Raju had come to my house and checked the reports. He gave me honey and enema box freely, and started the nature cure medication. I fasted for ten days. In fasting, the Ascites diseases is cured. The liver bloating is cured in two months. Then, he asked me to eat boiled vegetables. I followed the instruction. With asanas, running and pranayama, liver Cirrhosis is completely cured. All my problems are solved and I became healthy, because of Dr. Satyanarayaa Raju. I will conclude with this last word. Now, I am able to do all domestic tasks normally. Now, I am able to run. He saved me from this dangerous disease and taught me a new life style. Without taking any money from me, he used to call me from Guntur to my village, and used to enquire about my health condition. For me he is and incarnation of god. I salute him on this occasion and take leave.

Typhoid fever and jaundice are cured

My salutations to all! My name is Sayyaparaju Krishnam Raju. I am studying junior intermediate. Earlier, I stayed in Gudiwada hostel for 5 years, and studies till 10th standard. When I was in hostel, I used to have fever frequently. I would consult a doctor and get medicine. If the fever was not cured in 4-5 days, they used to send me to home (Amalapuram). I would consult our family doctor there, take medicine for a week, and go back to the hostel, once the fever is cured. It happened so many times. In this way, in 1996, I had Typhoid. I had taken treatment in the hostel for 4-5 days, and when not cured, went home. Since a year before, on the guidance of Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju, my parents were doing nature cure medication. Even now, they are doing it. Dr. Raju used to come to my house frequently. When doctor and my parents were discussing about the nature cure methods, I used to curse the medication. When I was in Typhoid fever, I followed nature cure medication based on the advice of my father and Dr. Raju., despite my consent. I did fasting for the first four days, took fruit juices for 2 days, and then for the next two days, had taken all types of boiled curries, leafy vegetables (without oil and salt), with one pulka. Till today, I never had any fever.

Again in 1997, when I was in the hostel, I had jaundice. I had taken medicine in Gudivada for 4 days, and when not cured, I came to Amalapuram. When the blood test was done, bilirubin was detected as 8 gm. It means, it is heavy jaundice. Our family doctor prescribed good English medicine. But, I didn’t take any. Some people suggested “Vella” pasuru medicine. But, my parents were not in favour of taking it. At that time, Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju was in Vijag. Based on his advice, over phone, I followed the nature cure methods. In a week’s time, bilirubin has come down to 1 mg. My father informed this to one of his allopathic doctors. He was surprised and said that he hadn’t seen in his service (24-30 years) jaundice getting cured in a week. Even in allopathy, it takes at least a month to be cured. Since then, I started believing in nature cure medicine completely. Like this – apart from my experiences, my parents’ experiences, there are many such experiences of Allopathic doctors in Amalapuram). There wouldn’t be a day, we don’t think of Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju at our home. He is such an unselfish, service-oriented human being. For all of us, he is the incarnation of “Narayana”.

Escaped Kidney operation, Nephrosis is cured

My name is K. Parvathi. I am 40 years of age. Eight years ago, my body and legs have bloated. I consulted doctors in Hyderabad. Despite taking medicine, it was not cured. Then, I consulted the doctors of Apollo hospitals in Madras. They identified it as Nephrosis disease, which is related to kidneys; the bloating was happening due to the reduction of protein in the body; and prescribed medicine. I took the medicine for three years. I used to suffer with headache all the time. During that time, with Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju, I practiced nature cure method with fasting, and then had the diet without salt. As long as I didn’t have slat in the food (around 1 and half a year), I didn't take any medicine and I was healthy.

As I had started the normal food again, I had to use allopathic medicine again, and I visited Madras Appollo hospital. While taking the medicine, the same situation, which I faced 8 years ago, was repeated.

Serum creatinine 6.2

Uric Acid - 7.1

Blood Uria, reached 186. My blood pressure was 180/140. Observing the situation, the doctors prescribed 6 types of medicine. He suggested to take food without salt. I started medicine and started taking food without salt. After 15 days, I went to the hospital with extreme fatigue. Tests were conducted. Serum creatinine reached to 9.6. Before taking medicine, it was 6.2, after taking medicine it was 9.6. The effect of 6 types of medicine. The doctors observed that the situation is worsened. They threatened me that B.P. is 110/60. They stopped as medicine and gave me food with salt. I asked them why they were asking to start salt again, which was stopped for some time. They said that the B.P. was down, so to raise the B.P., the food was changed. In a confused state, I asked the doctor what medicine they have prescribed for my kidney disease. They said that all medicine prescribed were related to control the B.P., and not for kidney problem. I felt scared and surprised – why prescribing medicine for results, rather than for the problem? Though I was taking medicine, the situation was very inconvenient. Then, the head of the doctors told me that the kidneys are damaged, it would be better to do blood purification (dialysis) and surgery needs to be done in a month. He asked me to search for a kidney donor, as kidney transplantation is inevitable. They asked me not to move from the hospital. I started crying. Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju garu has flashed on my mind. I apologized him for the mistake done (taking normal food with salt), requested him and took his advice, and came out of those medicinal medication, and Appollo. I moved from Madra Apollo to Hyderabad Institute of Nature Cure. I was much in sorrow at that time.

Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju offered a cordial hospitality, and with his word of guarantee, I started fasting. After the first week of fasting:

Serum creatinine 6.2

Uric Acid 5.0

Blood Urea 82

reached. The doctors who observed the progress and I felt very happy.

In this way, in 30 days, my critical situation is bettered.

Now, after 30 days of fasting

Serum creatinine - 4.0

Uric Acid - 3.0 (Normal)

Blood Urea - 40 (Normal) are shown.

According to Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju instructions, I have been taking fruit and vegetables juices. My headache – which I have been facing for some years – is cured completely. I am recovered from swelling of the face and body and now feeling very happy. In the process of fasting, I haven’t yet come to the stage of taking food. But, I am confident that I would gain complete health by having food without oil and salt. I owe a lot to Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju, and his medical method, for bringing me out of this dangerous situation.

The story of 4 generations (Spondylitis is cured)

My greetings to all brothers who are moving ahead in the nature cure life journey!

My name is Madhuri. My age is 37 years; I am working as a senior draftsman in railways. My habits: I wouldn’t drink much water; In the morning, evening and post dinner, I used to take one glass of tea. Before going to office, I used to take tea again. Every time, we used to make tea, with ginger and cardamom. At home, in office, coming again to home – overall – I used to take tea 5-6 times. My husband and myself would take care in making each curry very tasty. Due to that reason, I would use ginger, garlic, spices, oil and salt in large quantities. If it was not tasty, I myself wouldn’t eat it. We also used to prepare and eat various stored pickles. Regarding bath, as far as I remember, I never took cold water bath – I used to bathe with hot water, always – even in summer. I also made children take the same habit. Only my husband would take cold water bath. We visit Tirupathi every year. It’s very cold on the hill. It’s a big problem taking bath there. I used to take bath only if I get hot water. Once, I couldn’t get hot water, and I had to take cold water bath, with such remorse! The cold and cough, I got affected with, couldn’t be cured before 3 months, after taking so many medicine.

The health problem I faced was: for the last 4-5 years, there is a back mark, on both sides of the mouth. I consulted a skin specialist and was taking medicine. But, it was not cured. I used to have the problem of constipation – sometimes, even for two days, I couldn’t have the bowel movement. For the last two years, spondylitis has attacked – pain in the neck and shoulders. I couldn’t cut vegetables while sitting on the floor, with the traditional vegetable cutter. I couldn’t also wash clothes, cleaning dishes. While making curry, I was not able to mix the curry with spoon. At last, the pain reached the head as well. I used to worry if there was any tumour in the head. I had to depend on the maid for everything. The doctor advised me to sleep on the floor without pillow, to wear collar neck, and to take rest. Despite taking medicine, it didn’t cure, which caused me severe suffering. My weight was also increased. Earlier, I was around 61-62 kg. But, gradually, I reached 70 kg. I used to feel heavy even while walking. Because of the over-weight, if I used to walk for some distance, the friction of the thighs would cause bruises. To relieve the pain, I used to apply power. It was such a suffering! The legs were bloated with fluid – if pressed, I could see the dent. Every time, when the season was changed, it would start with cold and then enter into cough and would last at least for 2 months. I have taken so many Ayurvedic medicine. But, the problem would still occur.

During such unhealthy situation, My neighbour-friend, had practiced fasting with doctor, and could cure her thyroid, knee pains, over-weight, and became healthy. As I could see a lot of change in her, I had a thought of following the same method. When doctor has come to see her, I went to him and told my problems. He assured that all problems would be cured, provided I must follow the food regimen, which otherwise would damage the reputation of the medical method. Then, I started reading books and started fasting under his supervision.

I did fasting for 16 days, had fruit juices and fruit for one week, and started taking food. During fasting itself, my spondylitis problem was cured. The black mark near the mouth is dwindled. Constipation is completely gone. In weight fasting, the weight is reduced by 5 kg. Then, due to doing yogasanas and pranayama, the body is strengthened and I could reduce 2 more kilos of weight. When I started doing fasting, my colleagues at office disappointed me, ‘you are taking 8 lemons every day. Just take care of your intestines – you may face inflammation in the intestines’; ‘you are taking 250 ml honey, every day. Your mother already has diabetes. You also will get it as hereditary’; ‘by the 2nd week, you will fall down and we will need to carry you to the hospital’’; ‘as long as you live, you have to eat with all tastes, rather than avoiding salt, chilli powder, tamarind, oil, ghee, spices, sugar. Without them, what would you eat? If we don’t eat them all, what is the purpose of life? Just as we becoming ascetics? What is the different between us and them?’; ‘if we don’t eat salt and chilli, would we suitable for family life?’; ‘you want to feed the same food to your child. He is the only son. He would become good for nothing fellow, eating this food’ – so many such doubts and questions flooded me. Though I could handle their questions like doctor, but whatever I have learnt from him, I would explain them in my way. For them, it looked so strange to be on fasting for 3 weeks. But, I didn’t take a single day leave and I used to attend office, while taking care of the domestic tasks. I didn’t have any fatigue. Once I started taking food, my husband also did fasting for 15 days, then one week fruit juices, fruits and after that started taking food. He was in fact inspired by doctor’s words, “though, we may be healthy now; but, we should be healthy in future also; we should not depend on someone due to your ill health; we have to eat to live – not to live for eating”. Then, we both of us started yogasanas, pranayama. Due to this, the body became so light and pleasant. My husband had the problem of bad breath some times. Now, that problem is gone. Recently, he started using spectacles as he could not read letters while reading. As we started eating sprouts, grains, vegetables, juices, dates, fruit, there is a considerable improvement in the eyesight, and he is able to read without spectacles. Now, I don’t have any of the diseases, which I faced earlier. I don’t feel like drinking tea or coffee now. Earlier, if I used to walk for a while, the friction between thighs would causes bruises. Now, I don’t feel any fatigue, despite walking ever for a long distance. After practicing this method, my husband and I mounted the Tirupathi hill on foot. I was so surprised to realize that it were me to walk such a long distance, that too, taking the stairs.

My mother is 60 years old. She has diabetes for the last 30 years. By the time, she came to know about it, she had to to use insulin injections – the dose of the tablets wouldn’t be sufficing. She does the injection herself daily on the thigh. Due to diabetes, she faced feet inflammation, changes in knee joints, blood pressure, unable to work due to fatigue – she suffered like this for 30 years. She came to know about this fasting method and under the guidance of doctor, whe started fasting, by staying in our house. Once she started fasting, she didn’t take the injection, even for a single day. She used only one sugar tablet, whenever sugar percentage is more. Earlier, she used to take 10 types of tablets, 1 injection for B.P. and sugar. Now, she is improved to 1 sugar tablet.

At the same time, i.e., on Ag 28, my son had fever. On the first day, the temperature was 103 degrees. He was 10 years old. Normally, we would go to the allopathic doctor. But, this time, we wanted to cure him with nature cure method, and I consulted doctor. He said, ‘not a problem. It will be cured, do enema and keep him on fasting’. We followed the instruction. But, by the evening of the second day, the temperature was 105 degrees. I was scared. He was crying with headache and body pains. I called doctor, and he said, ‘nothing will happen. Just use one paracetamol. The temperature will come down. Keep wet cloth on the forehead. On the stomach, from top to bottom, keep a wet cloth and cover him with rug. We followed as directed and the intensity of the fever came down. The fever wouldn’t be in the morning, it was felt by evening. This way, the fever continued till Sept 10. During this time, those who come to see my son, used to give their opinion, ‘He is the only son, what would you like to do with him? You elders can bear, whatever you do. Why are you keeping on honey water diet? First, consult an English doctor and admit him in the hospital. He has been suffering for so many days!’. Our minds would also drag us towards cowardice. But, doctor said, ’Typhoid fever would be like this. Even if you use English medicine, it will take 15 days. Because of honey and lemon, he won’t feel fatigue. We are giving rest to the intestines. If we give rest to them, they can gain the energy to fight back the fever’. Just as he said, my son was cured well and now he is on fruit juices.

My grandmother is 78 years old. She has been suffering from asthma for the last 40 years. She used to feel shortness of breath heavily. Whenever the season changes, she will be affected. If the condition worsens, she will be admitted in hospital with the aid of oxygen. We have taken her to the doctor. He advised her to start food without oil and salt. Now, she is eating and taking vegetable juices. Now, at our home, all of us eat the same food, same cooking. My daughter is 13 years old. She competes with my son saying, ‘because of fever, you have done fasting for 15 days. Without any fever, I will do fasting for more days and be healthier than you’.

This way, in all our hearts in the family, doctor has showered drops of honey. In these days of commercialism, it will be insufficient, in whatever words we describe his simplicity, unselfishness, commitment, steadfastness, his passion to keep everyone healthy. His words are fixed in my mind, “taking the food what the nature gives you naturally and following the rules I prescribe you is the fee you can give me’. I wish, may god bless him with fruitful results of the hard work he is doing, by committing his life to the service of mankind.

Relieved from the backpain

My greetings to respectable Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju and the readers.

My name is Mrs. Mudunoori Laxmi. I am 45 years old. I have back pain for the last 20 years. I have consulted two bone specialist doctors. They has made so many tests and prescribed many medicine. They have done current treatment; made me wear belt. But, still, the back paid is not cured. At last, they said, ‘this pain cannot be reduced. You have to bear it’.

Last year, I came to know about the free health service program of god incarnation, Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju in Vishakapatnam. He was there, staying in Sri Shanthi Ashram and treating patients, at their houses. On Sundays, I attended his discourses, and explained my back pain problem to him.

When I went to meet doctor, I had to sit on the mat along with him. During the 30 minutes he spoke, I could not sit on the floor. Doctor observed my problem immediately and asked me to leave. As I sat there for half an hour on the floor, I suffered with back pain, for many days. I was suffering as I could not work, bend or sit. Doctor observed my pain and advised me, ‘Nature cure medical method is comprehensive. It offers complete health. It just doesn’t address only back pain separately. All the diseases will be cured. You need to do fasting, follow diet habits, and to do pranayama, yogasana, then your physical health will be bettered and your back pain will be cured’.

As doctor suggested, I did fasting for 20 days. After a week of stopping fasting, doctor himself taught me yogasana and pranayama. Then, I started doing pranayama and yogasana at home, every day in the morning. Though, in the first few days, I had the back pain, but then afterwards, my back pain was completely cured. I felt very happy and surprised. Now, I am able to do the domestic tasks myself. I am able to travel by buses and trains. I am able to sit on the floor even for 4 hours.

I am following doctor’s discourses, taking natural food, doing pranayama, asanas. I am now completely helathy. For the last one year, I didn’t have back pain.

I am always obliged to Dr. Satynarayana Raju for the favour he has done in my life. He is selfless, service oriented, friend of the mankind and a god incarnation. He always believed that ‘to serve human is to serve divine'.

Mrs. Mudunoori Laxmi,

Joint pains are cured

My heartfelt salutations to the nature family!

I have been following nature cure way from Aug 9, 1998 with Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju, dispelled all my ailments and I am enthusiastic and happy today to write these words.

I couldn’t participate in people related programs, due to my knee joint pains and swelling of legs for so many years and I was in a depressed state. From around 1993, I could not participate in my programs. In 1972, at my early age, at the age of 25, I was selected to the assembly. But, due to my ill health, I could not participate in the elections in 1994.

My well-wishers, my brother-in-law, Sri P.V.P. Prasad Rao and Sri Kolli Rammohan Rao, were moved to see my suffering and asked me to consult Dr. Manthena Satyanarana Raju and helped me to take to him.

I couldn’t deny my brother-in-law, and I said to him, ‘I have met and discussed with high profile doctors in America, doctors in London and Germany. I also consulted reputed hospitals in India – All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kolkatta, Mumbai, Coimbatore – and also consulted famous medical icons in the state. I have followed allopathic medicine according to their instructions. But, still, you know the result. I couldn’t derive any benefits’. Then, they told me about the nature cure method of Dr. Satyanarayana Raju. In my counter statement, I have explained them how I followed different nature cure ways, and finally how I could not get the desired results. But, they didn’t heed to me.

I have taken treatment in various medical methods such as Allopathy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, Naturopathy. I didn’t get result, but they have given my ailments – different names. Just as four blind people, describe elephant in four different ways: some said arthritis, some more said thyroid deficiency, some said rheumatism, others said excessive uric acid, some other renowned people said as gout disease. They gave many beautiful names, but they could not offer me health.

Finally, I met Dr. Satyanarayana Raju on 1-8-1998. He didn’t agree to start treatment immediately. He told me to start the nature cure way only after start eating the ‘sukha jeevana’ food he suggested – without salt, chilli, oil, tamarind. After following the diet rules, on Aug 9th, I started doing fasting. Then, doctor used to check my health status in the morning and evening daily.

After starting fast, only in the first 24 hours, I felt hungry. From the next day, I didn’t feel hungry. I used to drink honey, lemon water 8 times, 8 times normal water (5-6 litres) and would do enema daily in the morning. I didn’t feel fatigue, moreover I felt very enthusiastic. Because, in the first 20 days of my fasting, I can get down my house staircase, easily. I am able to sit on the floor without any tiredness. I am able to walk without limping. Till around 58 days of fasting, I used to meet friends. Some of them would criticize that I was destroying my body; some more were criticizing that Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has been spoiling my body against the medical science. But, I assured them that I recovered from the problems I have been facing for the last 5-6 years, only this medical method would ensure me complete health. I had complete faith in the method and continued the fasting.

During the fasting, I observed the changes in my body. Till 58 days, it went well for me. Then, nausea has started. When I used to do enema, the faeces would come with unbearable foul smell. The smell used to be unbearable! Then, the saliva in the mouth was horrible, and I couldn’t swallow it and due to it, I would vomit. While vomiting, bile juice would come out. Even the urine was very smelly. Like others, I too was scared. Family members, well-wishers, everyone suggested me to stop fasting. But I came to know from the doctor - with his experience - that due to these vomiting and the smells of urine and faeces, all the waste matter from the organs of the body – kidney, liver, lungs, and joints. So, I bore the smells and vomiting. I discharged all the waste matter. I could bring the body to its natural state. Experiencing the real joy, I could come out of the disease. But, doctor told me to continue fasting till the tongue becomes red; till the day no faeces comes even on enema, till I intensely feel hunger. Despite I was cured of the disease, I continued fasting as he suggested.

The allopathic doctors were feeling worrisome, saying that fasting was not good for such a long period. My daughter and son-in-law (who are doctors), used to worry about my body getting damaged. As I knew the status of my body, I felt that those worries were baseless. But, just for their satisfaction, on the 83rd day of fasting, i.e., on 30-10-1998, I had taken the blood test (see table). My health condition was quite bettered. But, I didn’t stop fasting, because, my tongue didn’t turn up to red. I didn’t feel acute hunger. When I was doing enema, faeces would still be coming. Again on 104th day, i.e., 20-11-1998 – on the day I stopped fasting – I had the test again, to check my health status (see table). Much to the surprise of everybody, the haemoglobin was intact just as it was on the beginning day of fasting. The condition of liver, kidneys, uric acid, cholesterol level were very satisfactory. Finally, even the years-long thyroid problem was also fantastically cured. I started to take fruit juices from the 104th day. Then, I could not bear hunger and started taking raw vegetables as food.

The food, which I stopped in 1985, as per doctors’ advice, I started taking again from 20 days. I like coconut, banana, dates, ground nuts very much. I couldn’t eat them for 13 years. Now, I am eating 1 coconut, four chakkarakeli banana, dates, almonds, pista, groundnuts, different types of fruit, and boiled curries, curd. I am very happy and healthy. I had the natural food which doctors generally suggest not to eat for fear of increasing cholesterol. I just wanted to check if cholesterol is increase in my body, because of the food I had eaten. On 125th day, i.e., 11-12-1998, I had blood test in Vishakapatnam. The report was much to my satisfaction. Before doing fasting, while doing fasting, after completing fasting, you can see the accurate lab test details in the following table.

Now, I will tell you the most interesting thing – that people who used to see me earlier wouldn’t believe. This is very important. It would take 1 hour 30 minutes to walk from our house in Banjara Hills to Sri Kasu Brahmananda Reddy park. It would be sheer suffering to do the walk. Recently, after a lot of time, I went to the park again and without a break and rest, I could job for 30 minutes. People who saw this felt very happy – earlier, I used to limp while walking; and now, I am able to do jogging. What a joy and good luck! Not only that, I am able to do all asanas, including shirshasana, early in the morning every day. I am now eating the nature food (which was prohibited for all these days) and favourite fruit stomach food.

I have realized that without using salt, chilly powder, oil, tamarind, sugar, we can make alternate delicious food cooked with other items, and can live 100 years of god-give life healthily and happily.

This god-made living world, are living according to the nature, and following their duties and living healthy. As the time passed, after civilized, only man forgot the nature rules and started taking unnatural food and behaving against to the nature laws, destroying the body and becoming unhealthy. He is misusing all the given freedom and decision-making power, suffering himself and creating problems to the world as well. At least from now, let us follow nature dharmas, take nature’s food, live according to nature, worshiping Mother Nature, cure all diseases, purify the body, become completely healthy, and live the God-given 100 years peacefully and happily. Dr. Raju has been offering this good luck to all of us happily. Let us take it without delay.

Now, you may ask this: You are saying that nature cure method (this doctor’s method) can cure all diseases. But, there were many clinics in the country. Then, why didn’t the nature cure method become popular. Then, listen!

First of all, this is not medical treatment. This is life style. Doctor has been trying with all his efforts that all should follow this life style and get rid of all diseases, and to be mentally prepared to stay away from all diseases.

This is the human dharma followed since yugas and this is the life style of even Mahatma Gandhi. He kept himself healthy by following this life style, and made his followers healthy, so that they are ready for the freedom struggle all the time. Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has been citing this and he himself is following this method. Through this way, we can gain complete health and can live happy life, and gain self-satisfaction all the time, and can progress in the spiritual field.

Nature cure medical method is not possible to be followed as we life, as long as we like. It should be done as Dr. Mathena Satyanaraya Raju is doing, with strong faith, and imposing strict rules to the patients, testing them prior to the practice, prepare them mentally, and then only the medication to be started. If we follow this nature cure method properly, any one, can cure any kind of diseases. I am the best example for this – recovering from my disease at the age of 53. All the aged people need not suffer considering that it is their fate. They should not spend life with despair, pessimism, pains and sorrows. If we approach Dr. Raju with commitment, strong determination, and have faith and follow the nature method – though it may be difficult in the beginning – but at the end, we can gain delightful experience and happiness.

We have no other service than to bear the torch of Nature that Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has been carrying and spreading it in all directions. Our true service is to follow this method with true heart, and pass on this to the humanity which is entering the 21st century and to make the society, disease-free. That should be our goal. It needs strong determination, and commitment for implementation. ‘Arise! Awake! Stop not till the goal is reached’!

In tune with Swami Vivekananda’s saying that “Only those who live for others are living’, Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has been living as a true karma yogi. He is following the medical field, not as a profession but as a dharma. He has been striving hard, offering a great service selflessly, all the time, for the happiness and health of all of us. Only when we follow his method and teachings, we can give good results to the society. That is the gratitude we can show to him. I conclude here before wishing Mother Nature will provide her blessings to all of us to achieve the goal.

Got rid of Insulin

My name is Maridi. I am 50 years old. For the last 25 years, I have been working in Amalapuram, as a compounder and technician in the nursing home of Dr. Satyavatamma Chiranjeevi Raju. I have been suffering from sugar, B.P., and liver infection for the last 10 years. My doctor would give me medicine for everything. I used to drag life with medicine. As the sugar level is more, I have been using insulin injection twice a day for the last 10 years, without eating properly. Though I had been using medicine carefully, one of my legs had infection and the situation was to amputate the leg. It caused a near-fatal situation due to the problems that arose at that time. Dr. Satyavati had been telling me for 3 months - before my leg had problem – to practice nature cure method. But, I did not pay attention to her advice. Though I had seen many people who recovered well after taking up nature cure methods, I hesitated that it might not be suitable for me, as I was facing problems with sugar despite taking insulin. I had a strong fear that if I had stopped insulin, the situation would be worse. With the support Dr. Satyavathi has given me, I started doing nature cure medication – though unwillingly.

I started doing fasting in the hospital of Satyavatamma. I used to blood tests quite frequently, and continued fasting, without taking insulin injection. Doctor used to give me homeopathic medicine, if needed. In fasting, she would get all the required methods done such as – massage, mud packs, steam bath. In fasting, the leg infection sore was healed day by day. I could do fasting for 25 days with honey. My sugar levels came to normal during fasting, without medicine. Then, I started taking fruit, fruit juices, bitter gourd juice every day. Gradually, I started using curries without salt and raw vegetables. Though I was eating food and fruit, sugar levels didn’t increase in my blood. I have been taking the food that Dr. Manthena Satyanarayanarju suggests. Till date, I haven’t used any tablet or insulin and my health is improved. Blood pressure is normal. My leg is completely cured and it is normal condition now. I am able continue my job with complete health. I was supposed to become lame due to sugar, but now because of nature cure medication, I am able to run around. I had spent money for insulin injections and medicine for ten years. Without spending 5 paise now, I am able to live happily. Doctor has given me the opportunity to eat all fruit and other food items.

I am sharing my health status, faith and experience to the patients who come to the hospital. I wish Dr. Satyanarayana Raju’s theory would become popular. People who practice the nature cure methods can live a happy life without any diseases. They can execute their tasks more efficiently than others. For those who suffer from excessive sugar levels and who use insulin, I believe, nature cure is a boon. When I was doing nature cure medication, Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has come to the hospital and gave me support and confidence, thus helping for my good health. To him and our doctor Satyavatamma, I am obliged.

Dust allergy, sinus trouble are cured

My name is S. V. Ramaraju (Rambabu). I belong to Amalapuram. I have been suffering from sinusitis for the last 20 years. I used to come out only when it would be sunny. Every day, the nasal drops were a must. Before getting dark, I used to come to home. All the time, my nose would be blocked. I could not smell properly. I would feel suffocated. I could not tolerate cool air and had dust allergy. In winter, I used to suffer with cough, asthma – I couldn’t sleep at night. I could not concentrate on anything. As this was going on, in 1992, I met doctor. He asked me to do nature cure medication and assured that the problem would certainly be solved. I had already taken medication from allopathic doctors. But, there was no change. I could not have faith in nature cure method. I assumed that, ‘it is an old medical way. When the problem is not be cured with modern medication, how can this method cure it’? and I neglected it.
My father used to suffer from psoriasis. Doctor garu has taken him to his village, accommodated him at his house and cure the disease completely. Since then, I started believing in the medication. In 1995, I consulted doctor and told him that I would like to follow nature cure medication. I requested him with a condition, ‘if you are with me at my house, I would do it, otherwise, I would die’. He said that if I was willing to do, then he would support me. Then, he started the fasting (I used to take non vegetarian food a lot). There was an improvement with fasting. Gradually, I taught me to do yogasana, pranayama, himself. Doctor garu in fact gave me another second birth. Sinusitis was completely cured. My nature was also changed. Now, I don’t have any problems. For the last 3 years, I haven’t had any problems. I am going out freely in cold, snow, and rain. All allergies and asthmas are gone. I am taking the food which doctor has prescribed me. I am enjoying health. I am very thankful to the doctor for changing my health and habits.

Mysteriious allergy is cured

It is said, ‘Vaidyo Narayano hari’. It means, ‘a doctor is equal to God’. To the patient, doctor appears as god. In my experience, Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju is like a god. I was bed-ridden, and he cured me with his mesmerism. At the age of 40, I was suffering from so many diseases. My weight was 93 kg. No doctor could understand my problems – mysterious allergy, hypothyroidism, B-12 deficiency, excess cholesterol in the blood, triglycerides, asthma, fatigue, inflammation at feet and palms, nausea. Not a doctor left that I did not consult, not medicine, I didn’t consume. But, to no effect. Ten months ago, I had pains in legs and hands, and sweating in the head with inflammation. Those parts of the body used to become hot, with so much itching. If I had scratched it, it would become red with a bruise, later turning to inflammation. I consulted all the well-known doctors in Hyderabad. All tests are done. But, they couldn’t identify the problem. I didn’t find good results, even after taking medicine. Like this, it happened once in 2-3 days. According to the advice of doctors, I changed soaps, oils, cloths, pastes, food items. Then, I got tired. I left the doctors as well. They could not find even the name of the allergy. During this time, when I lost my confidence and health, my well-wisher Sri Atluri Subbaro garu asked me to meet Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju. I met Dr. Raju garu, and explained my problems. He assured me by patting on my shoulder. I started fasting from that day. I started following his instructions without fail. From the very first day, I could see change in me. On the 9th day, Raju garu tested me and he offered me coconut water and concluded fasting. The next blood report gave tremendous results. I could reduce 8 kg weight. I didn’t have the allergy again, which was not identified by any doctor. According to the advice of Dr. Raju garu, I stopped using salt in food. I started eating food without spices. In the next month, my health was completely recovered. I could reduce 3 kg weight. I felt new enthusiasm in life. All fatigue and other diseases disappeared. I have become quite normal. For medical treatments, I poured thousands of rupees. Dr. Satyanarayana Raju is boon for the society by God, as he is curing even difficult diseases without any expenses and chemical side effects. As far as I am concerned, he is god himself.

Dandruf, Hairfall reduced

My greetings to the Prakruti parivar!
I am, by profession, yoga teacher. I have been habituated to yoga since 1985. Before entering this path, I was suffering with extreme food habits. Because of SSY method, I have become active and it improved my swiftness of action. But, there, I take salt, oils, fries, spices, sweets, white rice etc. If we don’t have an understanding of fasting, then breaking of 3 days or 5-6 days fasting would yield us extreme results. Immediately after fasting, if we eat whatever food items we like –in large quantity, apart from the students, we teachers would also suffer from back pain, itching, weight gain, asthmas, cold etc. The underlying problem was weakness of the mind. Some people would use medicine to solve those problems.
I started fasting in an ashram when I faced problems such as itching, dandruff, hair loss. In 94, for fasting, they used to give coconut water, honey and lemon water. At first, because of the coconut water, we would feel nausea. That’s why, I used to drink a lot of limkas. Similarly, if bananas are eaten, the next day, the nose would run. But, with fasting, both these problems were solved. As a yoga teacher, I would take raw vegetables and fruit. So, I believed that my body would be quite clean. That’s why, when asked to take enema, I thought it would be unnecessary. But, started it if it would work or not. Then, from me too, faeces was coming out. I couldn’t believe it. As the inner waste was coming out, I would feel complete lightness in body and mind and a pleasant joy and peace. I experienced such a stillness, I cannot explain in words. There, concluding fasting would be done in some haste. In 2-3 days, we would start eating normal food, including salt. That too, after 15 days of fasting, once I started eating, I would eat like a glutton – stomachful. The mind and the tongue would interfere with food. Hence, the mind would not turn to the side of nature’s natural food. The mind used to run after tastes.
Under the guidance of Dr. Raju garu, I started fasting for the third time, after reading and understanding the book, “sukha jeevana sopanalu”. This time, it took 23 days to clean up my body. This fasting is different. Here, we can do it while doing all other tasks. I completed the fasting pleasantly, despite the hot April and May summer. For 1-2 days, when I didn’t take enough water, I felt fatigue, tiredness and fear. Otherwise, I didn’t have any problems. One more thing! Every day, I used to do enema, after completing fasting in ashram and came home. This time, after the fasting is completed, I didn’t take enema because I felt I was not necessary. It’s 3 months, since I did the fasting. Since then, I am not using salt in food, including my wife. Children are using very little salt. In these three months, I have eaten food with salt, only 4-5 times. They didn’t attract me. Just to revive the old memories, I had to eat, but I didn’t enjoy the taste. When I am eating food with salt, It would be like, I am tasting salt rather than eating food. If the same dish is given without salt, then the taste would be excellent. The satisfaction only needs to be experienced, and it stays. Wherever I go, I will ask them not to use salt in the food.
Now, I don’t have dandruff in the head (12 years’ problem). The hair fall is stopped. The unknown impatience is not absent now. Despite roaming around the city, I don’t have fatigue or tiredness. There are no unnecessary hype and expenses to the body. Unnecessary thoughts have reduced. I am fine. My life is simple and sweet.
In 1998, I have realized that we can cook and eat without salt. We can lead life easily like this.
My thankful salutations to the god who is leading this life stream.

Psoriasis is cured

I am 65 years old. I am a retired employee of Agrilcultural cooperative bank.
I have been suffering from the skin disease, psoriasis for the last 10 years. I used to have this problem below my two legs, below the knees, and above the groin area.
Extreme itching, when scratched, the sore would fall down. Moreover, both my feet were itchy, which turned to black.
I have been using allopathic medicine for the last 10 years, for the treatment. But, no improvement is seen. I have also used medicine prescribed by skin specialists. Even then, that was temporary cure, but not a complete solution.
I came to know that Sri Manthena Satyanarayana Raju garu has come to Shanthi ashram to do nature cure medication. By that time, I heard that, he had been curing for 4 months – different chronic diseases through nature cure medication and giving a complete cure solution. On 4-8-1997, I met Dr. Sri Satyanarana Raju garu and explained my skin disease problems and properties. He told me some conditions and if I follow them, then he would treat my problem with nature cure methods. He said, it won’t be possible, otherwise.
His books on nature cure medication.
Part 1: Sukha Jeevana Sopaanamulu (Steps for Happu life)
Part 2: "Aharamu - Alochana" (Food - Thought). He gave me these two books and asked me to come back after reading the two books. I completed those two books, aggreed to his conditions - wtih heart, word and deed - and met him on 3-9-1997 to inform that I am ready for the conditions. He then agreed and told me to start fasting from the date mentioned above, with a strong mental determination.
I completed the nature cure method – 21 days with fasting and another 21 days with fruit juices.
The chronic skin disease, which was not cured for the last 10 years, despite taking many medicine, was cured after 10-days fasting; and by the time 42 days are completed, it was completely cured. All my family members, acquaintances, felt very happy.
During the nature cure method, I couldn’t forget lifelong, who has offered me service, help and support, in different aspects such as 1. Fasting 2. Enema 3. Steam bath 4. Food habit 5. Pranayama 6.yogasanas.
Moreover, his speeches would be pleasant to the heart. After yogasanas are completed, he would explain about them for 15 minutes. They cannot be forgotten in life. Every Sunday, in Shanthi ashram, he would give speeches from 8.30 to 10 am, about natural life style. Those messages are extremely valuable. I came to know so may un=heard and un-known things from him. Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju has in fact given me a new birth. Since then, I have been following his rules.
Since the last year, I didn’t have the skin disease again. Our family is grateful to Dr. Satyanarayana Raju, his venerable parents, his family members. He had told me that as the skin disease was on the legs, it would take a bit longer time. But, as doctor instructed, I had eaten raw vegetables in a larger quantity. Because of that, my psoriasis was cured quickly.
I have a request for the practitioners of nature cure method. In this nature cure method, if you follow all the instructions of doctor accurately, all your life will be pleasant and happy. Our gross body; the much subtle senses; more subtler things; subtler heart; subtler than the heart, intellect; and the divine nature; and much more subtler thing Purusha (the divine being – the soul). This soul itself is the supreme self. There is nothing more spiritual than that. That is peak. This is the jnana marga (wisdom route) taught by the sages. In this way, all the body parts of the body, come into control, one by one. It means, the path of knowing the divine self will be easier. This is the divine wisdom path.
My last request for the practitioners. For those who practice the nature cure life style instructions accurately and implement them properly, they will be blessed by god and they will live healthily, with the given life span till the last moment of life, and then depart the life. We are always grateful to Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju.

well-wisher of nature cure life style practitioners,

Psoriasis is cured

My name is Nadimpally Bapiraju. I belong to Amalapuram mandal. Village is vanne chintalapudi. My age is 67 years. I have been suffering from psoriasis skin disease diseases for the last 15 years. I have tried ayurvedic and English medicine in Hyderabad, Rajamundry and Kakinada. But, I couldn’t find any improvement. I couldn’t bear the pain. The skin would drop in layers, all over the bod, just as the snake sheds it skin. During winters, the body would become tight and I would suffer a lot due to skin scratches. I couldn’t wear clothes, or go out. It would be disgusting to go and meet people outside. I felt causing inconvenience to others. At times, I felt committing suicide by drinking pesticides. Someone told me that there is no cure for this. Someone said that curd rice is the only cure for this, and I had curd rice for two times a day, throughout a year. But, it was not cured at all. During this time of sorrow and despair, one of our family members, Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju garu has told me that I wouldn’t be cured with any medicine, the only way is nature cure medication. He changed me to believe in nature cure method and to adapt it. He assured me that he would cure me completely by taking me to his home (Bapatla), and took me there forcefully. I went to the doctor’s house along with my wife.
I used to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes every day. I stopped the habit from the day I started fasting. Every night, around the cot, the dry skin would fall. I started fasting when the body had scratches, and inflamed a bit. I couldn’t even massage oil to the body. Even the barbers would be scared to do massage to me. Every day, I used to apply need juice myself and used to have mud pack to the body, twice a day. After 10 days, the itching has come down. In the next 10 days, the tightening of the skin and falling of dry skin has been cured completely. In the next 10 days, the skin started to merge and formed properly. In this fasting itself, the sores and marks on stomach and hands merged and new skin was formed. I could do 35 days of fasting. It has given me very good results. All my problems are solved. Only the legs have some marks – new skin need to come. After fasting, I had only fruit and fruit juices. I stopped using mud packs and applying neem juice. Once I started taking food, I went home and started eating insipid food. By eating this food, it took 6-7 months for the disease to be cured on the head. The legs were also cured almost completely and the skin has become like a human’s skin. While eating like this, in the middle, I slightly had the skin disease again (Just 20 paise). The problem was solved, when I started fasting again. As I had the food (without salt) with pulka and salt-less curries for one whole year, the skin had become quite smooth and all the spots had disappeared, without any problem. People wouldn’t believe that I had a skin disease earlier. In that way, the psoriasis problem was cured. For the last 3 years, I have been eating only chapathi and insipid curries (without salt, chilli powder and spices). I haven’t had rice till today. I am following these instructions wherever I go. I haven’t seen any skin disease related problem again. My health is quite good now. I have decided to eat like this, throughout my life. I cannot forget the doctor’s help and support for giving me another birth. The kindness and warmth his family members have shown is immeasurable. My heart-felt salutations to them. For all those who are suffering from psoriasis, I feel, there is no other best way than this.

Cough, Excess urination, white spots (vitiligo)are cured

Greetings to All!
My name is Subbamma. My age is 64 years. I have been suffering from joints pains and excess urination for the last 20 years. I have consulted so many doctors and used many medicine. I felt it was cured. But, it stated again. I used to become allergic due to different types of medicine used. et Dr. Satya Cough was started. The cough continued for 2 years, till I met Dr. Satyanarayana Raju. It was fearsome to go out. I used to suffer in journeys. I became obese and asthma was started. I couldn’t bear the weight of the body and wanted to lie down always. I was dragging on in life with medicine. Then, a new problem was started. On the chest and hands, the white spots (vitiligo) have developed. They started spreading. I was scared and consulted a skin specialist. Maybe due to the ointments, the spots were widened. I was worried why I was getting affected by such a disease. I was in fact desperate for a solution.
In 1997, when I went to my granddaughter’s house in Vishakapatnam, I was surprised to see that many people were implementing nature cure medication. When my granddaughter asked me to do nature cure method, I was doubtful whether I could do it.
Dr. Satyanarayana Raju had encouraged me a lot. I started doing fasting. Earlier, I would feel like lie down all the time. Now, with fasting, I have become so active that I wouldn’t even go to the bed. I lost 5 kg weight. My fasting continued for 25 days. The cough that lasted for years, disappeared in 15 days. Excessive urination is cured. Joint pains are also cured. After the fasting was completed, I started eating insipid food, as suggested by doctor.
The white spots are stopped growing. The existing small spots also got disappeared. The spots which spread on the body are gradually fading. I felt very happy that the disease was getting cured.
May god bless Dr. Satyanarayana Raju with a long life-span. He is the reason for making me lighter and healthier.
Now, I feel, why we have eaten such food and caused problems to the body and gained problems. At this last stage of my life, if I could know the taste of nature cure method, that is god’s gift throught Dr. Satyanarayana Raju.
The medicinal field is growing to a great level, and for any small disease, scanning, X rays, blood and urine tests are becoming mandatory. People are spending thousands of rupees, visiting hospitals, and wasting so much of their time. At this time, Dr. Satyanarayana Raju’s nature cure medication is a boon to us. We must support the service he is doing selflessly.
Folowing doctor's food method is the valuable gift that we can give him. In fact, that is the best help that we can do to ourselves.

Asthma disappeared

My name is Manthena Subbaraju. My age is 75 years. For the last 40 years, I have been suffering from asthma, dysentery, cold, phlegm. To walk, I would feel shortness of breath. All the time, I could hear the wheezing sound in the chest, just as both the lungs are filled with phlegm. When I spit, it would be phlegm and mucus coming out. There is no medication I haven’t tried, not the village I haven’t visited, not the medicine I haven’t taken. Throughout these 40 years, the problem has increased day by day but not decreased. Rarely would I get some relaxation from the problem. It has been years since I last slept pleasantly. I couldn’t even talk properly due to Asthma. Thought of suffering like this throughout this life. Three months ago, I came to know that in Akividu, Dr. Pratap Kumar (children specialist) had benefited, including his family, from the nature care method and he was spreading the benefits of the method to the neighbouring people, and helping them to acquire complete health. We know Dr. Pratap for a long time. He also knows my problem. According to his advice, I stopped all the medicine and started fasting. My wife has also been suffering from heart attack and extreme painful joint pains. She used to take 15 tablets a day. She also started fasting and after 4 days, she stopped all medicine according to the doctor’s advice.
Both of us did fasting for 25 days and 27 days respectively, by staying at home. When we were on the 20th day of fasting, on a second Saturday, Dr. Satyanarayan raju has come from Hyderabad to Akividu to give a discourse, and we could meet him. By that day, my asthma was cured 60%. He encouraged us to continue fasting, by saying that we should not fear due to old age. Since the day the fasting is completed, we are taking the food as advised by the doctor. Till date, I haven’t faced either the asthma problem or the need to take medicine. I am able to do all tasks without any tiredness. I never expected that I would be so happy like this. In an unimaginative way, Asthma was cured. The two doctors have infused a faith in me to life my remaining 25 years of life, by not depending on anybody.
Similarly, my wife’s leg pains are cured. They are bending well. She is telling that she is as active, energetic, and healthy as she was at the age of 25 years. She hasn’t used a tablet since then. A renowned doctor in Hyderabad told her that her leg pains won’t be cured. But, nature cure has proved it wrong. We bless the two doctors who have been responsible for the happier path of our lives. They are blessed people. Bye.

Thyroid problem is cured

Greetings to all
My name is Kamala. I have been suffering from Thyroid since I was 6 years. Since then, my daily routine would start from one tablet. Now, I am 28 years old. i.e., since 26 years I have been using the tablet. Through my friend, I came to know about doctor and met him. I listened to his discourses and realized the benefits of naturopathy. I told him about my problems. He explained my about fasting and how to do it and told me that I need not use tablet after fasting. I started fasting. Though in the first 2 days, I had headache, I took doctor’s advice to take more water and the problem was solved. From the 3rd day, I forgot that I was doing fasting. It was so habituated. During fasting, doctor used to call me and advise me and encourage me. He would come alternate day and advise me how to overcome the problems, if there were any. My family members and I were surprised with his unselfishness to come to our home and enquire about the health, without expecting anything from anyone. He is such a good-natured man. That way, I did fasting for 19 days. During this fasting, I could lose 8 kg of weight easily. After fasting, when I did Thyroid test, the report showed it as normal. I felt very happy. When I showed it to the allopathic doctor, he asked me to stop the tablet. The thyroid problem that I have been facing for the last 22 years, is solved by Dr. Satyanraya Raju’s naturopathy. Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju is a rare personality. My whole-hearted greetings to him.

Relief from Migrain headache

My greetings to the readers! My native place is 65 km from Tirupathi. I am settled in Hyderabad, working in a private company.
I can tell that my health – since I am aware – is not good. During my childhood, I used to face headache quite often. Sometimes, I used to fall unconscious. During my graduation, I had floral effusion. To get cured of it, I had injections for 30 days and medicine for 1 and half a year. Moreover, due to not eating well, my health was deteriorated. I used to have migraine quite often. Vomiting, constipation! Sometimes, there were days, I would sleep for 24 to 36 hours. I used to feel anger, laziness and irritation to do anything. It was not surprise that I did not know what to be healthy. My health in fact obstructed my progress. I have used all types of medical methods such as allopathy, homeopathy, Ayurveda. But, no great results! My desire to be healthy was not fulfilled at all. For the last two years, tea, cigarettes, and alcohol have crossed the limits, and accordingly, the health deteriorated. I used to get migraine twice a week, because of that I had to be in the bed. If the food was late for half an hour on any day, or if I wouldn’t eat for one time on a day, the migraine would have attacked. Once the migraine hits me, it would stay from 4 to 72 hours.
I called my friend two months ago. I asked him if he had eaten. He said that his food is water with honey and lemon juice. I joked with him, how many days he would do that. He said he had been doing it for 25 days. I was surprised. I wondered if anyone can stay like that. Then he told me all the details. In me, a ray of hope started. I asked him to introduce the doctor. But, he said that to do fasting, one should be mentally strong. Then, My wife and I met the doctor. My wife (Dhana Laxmi), after her second delivery, has put on weight. She has become lazy as well. Moreover, she has been suffering from sinus problem. During winter and the rainy season, her suffering is indescribable. I was surprised to see doctor. It happened against to what I have imagined. I thought it would take much time to meet him. I doubted if he would talk to me. I went inside. There were so many people sitting around him. My introduced me to him. He asked me to sit and introduced me to everyone. I told me about everyone in detail. Then, he gave me two books and asked me to read them first, then we could meet. As soon as I came from him, I read the first book (Sukha Jeevana Sopanalu) from beginning to the end. By the time I completed the book, I felt I have become almost healthy. After we asked for permission to start fasting, doctor took 15 days to get faith in us. We had taken food according to his instructions for 15 days. From July 14, we started fasting. The first three days proved to be very tough. From the next day, it was so enthusiastic the moment we got up. I felt enthusiastic even in office work. My wife would complete all tasks and send children to school. I would work for 8-10 hours. For two days, I felt feverish and after taking complete rest, I lost weight – 1 kg per day. I felt taking complete rest while doing fasting. Like this, my wife did fasting for 26 days and I did 32 days. Before we started fasting, as we didn’t take salt in the curries and stopped taking tea and coffee, we had headache for two days and then it subsided. Doctor had already told us that in the first four days, there was a chance for headache. But, throughout fasting, I never had even slightest headache on any day. For the last 75 days, since I started doing what doctor has instructed me, I didn’t face migraine at all – not even for one day. Despite my roaming and my travels, I didn’t face migraine. No vomiting either. My deep respect for the doctor for helping me get rid of this migraine problem, at last. I never expected – even in dream - that I would overcome this problem and would be happy like this. God showered his blessings on me by introducing me to doctor. I am still taking vegetable juices, fruit, raw vegetables. My wife has lost excess weight and her sinus problem is completely cured. My two children also started taking lemon, honey water, along with us drinking vegetable juices and fruit juices, and eating fruit. Since the day I started fasting, my colleagues, relatives disappointed me very much, in different ways. They said, ‘if we do fasting for many days, the enzymes that are naturally developed would kill the cells’, ‘If honey is taken excess, it would reduce blood’. Some people would even mock me. If somebody tells good things for us, we generally have contempt for them, that is our nature. Mahatma Gandhi has taught all good things – he wanted us to be united without the differences of caste and religion, and he urged us to be away from all bad habits. But, we have the culture to have killed him. So, there are many obstacles for good path. Our ancestors have long back given us the health rules and life style. We do not know how to follow them. We won’t know their greatness unless someone tells us.
Our doctor – Sri Manthena Satyanarayana Raju – has learnt about nature cure methods thoroughly, implements them himself first, then teaches others about the method. He has taken an oath to bring complete health to all people and to expel the darkness of ill health. He has gained such knowledge at young age. He always thinks about others – rather than about himself. In fact, we had felt that there would be no chance of getting recovered from these ailments. But, he infused confidence into us to live healthily again. He wants everyone to be independently healthy, without depending on others. It is so commendable that he wants to lead people towards this goal.

Inconvenience of period is gone

I belong to Amalapuram. My name is Padma. I am 35 years old. I suffered for three years due to irregular menstrual cycles. They would come only with medicine. With medicine, they would come monthly. If medicine were stopped, they would come only from the second month. I thought that taking medicine would cause other problems and hence would stop medicine. The doctors told me that, that’s the situation, nothing can be done. Two years ago, doctor has come to Amalapuram to do nature cure medication. He stayed at our house. Based on his advice, I started nature cure mediation. I did fasting for 25 days. Daily in fasting, I would take tub bath (totti snanam) which is 20 minutes of cool water. Once fasting is completed, I had taken the food as suggested by him. After the food is taken for 20 days, periods have started without taking medicine. They started coming every month (which were otherwise would come around once in 5 months). So, for the last two years, without the need for medicine, I have been able to get periods every month. While staying at our house, doctor had taught us a good life style, and gave our lives a healthy path. All our family members could know the nature cure medication values. It was our privilege that doctor garu had been at our house for some time.

Achievied Fertility

My name is Srinivasa Rao. I am 38 years old. Since I was affected by diabetes from 1993, I had suffered from one or the other problem. I would feel pains in legs and hands; headache, and fatigue. Diabetes wouldn’t be controlled despite using medicine.
In 1997, I met Dr. Satyanarayana Raju thought friends. Through his discourses, I have understood that we get diseases as we ignore the signals our body gives in our day today life. I got married in 1989. Since then, we didn’t have children. My wife Rohini also met doctor regarding fertility problem. He told that, there are certainly chances of fertility through nature cure. He also said that only after his parent did nature cure medication, they had fertility after 8 years. Our faith is strength. We had dreams about children. But, we didn’t have children for 8 years.
According to the doctor’s advice, we did fasting with honey, lemon juice and normal water for 15 days. Then, we had boiled vegetables (without salt and oil) with pulkas. Every day morning, my wife would do tub bath (totti snanam), as told by doctor. We used to do yogasanas. My diabetes has been completely cured. I am not using medicine for one year. As two months are completed while following all these instructions, my wife has become pregnant. Our desire has been fulfilled. Our effort had fruitful results. During those 9 months, she practised all natural diet habits. A healthy daughter is born to us, in normal delivery. Fertility is achieved. After nature cure method is started, all my earlier problems are solved. I am able to sit in the office and work for hours.
Though the nature cure medication methods look tough, after implemented and enjoying the joy of good health, they appear easy.
We are so grateful to the doctor for offering us good health. We owe him a lot.

Shivaring is cured at the age of 80

My name is Dr. B.V. Raju. I am 80 years old. I have been suffering from B.P and sugar for some years. I used to take medicines for them. Due to the ill health, I couldn’t sleep well. So, I had to take sleeping tablets. As I was getting old, the legs started losing the touch sense. At one stage, I was not able to feel footwear. The feet would feel numb. The shivering that comes with age affected my hands. Due to my responsibilities, if I am involved in work, I wouldn’t know all these problems. I used to work 10-12 hours a day. Due to the increased age, I have realized that if I hadn’t improved my health, I wouldn’t be able to work. So, I thought about it and consulted Dr. Satyanarayana Raju at Jubilee Hills.
There is no relation between nature cure medication and age. If we do fasting and follow good diet rules, we can be active at this age too. With his advice, I started fasting. I didn’t stop going to office and working for 10-12 hours. Except B.P tablets, I have stopped all other medicine. After two days, I could sleep well. From the 4th day of fasting, I could feel touch sense to the feet. By 6th day, my sugar levels have come down. On 7th and 8th day, my legs have become lighter with normal blood circulation. I could observe that there was no shivering in the hands. They stopped shaking. I was surprised. The shivering that comes with age is completely cured. On the 10th day, in fasting, the hunger started. During the 10 days of fasting, I didn’t have any problems or fatigue. I felt very active. I initially thought how I could do fasting at this age, but they were completed just as fasting is such an easy thing to do. Then, I followed doctor’s instructions when I started taking food. I am taking food without salt, and vegetable juices. Now, I am very healthy and energetic. I have faith that I can work for the next 10 years as well.
I have realized that the fasting method that hDr. Satyanarayana Raju is prescribing can be done by anybody and without related to age and can attain health. When I was doing fasting, some people would that, ‘why does he need fasting at this age’’. But, that is wrong. I got faith that to attain complete health, nature cure can support us in every way. I wish people of all ages would use this fasting method and become healthy. Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has proved that at the age of 80 years, one can do fasting while doing their work. Because of Dr. Satyanarayana Raju, my health is fine now. I am much grateful to him. May god give him more energy to help elderly people in attaining good health.

Yourse Sincerely

Relief from high colestrol, high triglycerides, gout

One will know the value of health only when we fall sick. This has proved 100% true in my experience. Despite having all facilities and resources, we can’t buy health. This is my 13 years’ experience. In 1984, I just happened to do blood test. Cholesterol and triglycerides are high in the blood. Immediately, I consulted a cardiologist, and according to his advice, I started taking medicine and systematized my diet habits. But, the result was not great. Taking medicine every day, their side effects; taking other medicine and doctor – these were my daily tasks. All experts of the country have checked the problem. They have provided advice according to their capacity. But, cholesterol and triglycerides haven’t come down, and moreover, in 1987, the gout disease has started. Uric acid has stored in the bone of the foot. Extreme pain and I couldn’t walk. So many medicine and their reactions. My daily life has become worse. My problems haven’t changed. Friends from foreign countries would send new medicine whenever a new one was introduced. Those costly and rare medicine didn’t give me relief but created some complications.

I don’t know whether it is accidental or the grace of god, but I happened to go to Vijag in February, 1998, on some business trip. On that day, they told about nature cure medication, and the new method Dr. Satyanarayana Raju has created. After I met him, I felt that his experimental results should be reached to all. As part of this effort, I established Institute of Nature Cure in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, and asked him to stay there and provide medical services to the people. He agreed for that and came to Hyderabad. On his advice, I started fasting in March, 1998. From the starting day, I had the blood report every fourth day. The cholesterol and triglycerides and other harmful things that have been stored in the blood for a decade, have started dwindling. My health is becoming better. On the 21st day, I got the blood test for the last time. Much to my happiness and surprise, my blood was quite normal – just as any other healthy man’s blood. I have shown those reports to many other doctors in Hyderabad. They were surprised to a great extent. They all certified me as complete healthy. I am obliged to Dr. Satyanarayana Raju throughout my life, for the treasure of health he offered me.

Weight is lost

Greetings to all!
Mine is basically obese body. For so many years, my weight has been growing. I have tried in many ways but ultimately I ended up with fatigue; but, the weight didn’t come down or the reduced weight didn’t stay. For the last 2-3 years, my weight has been increasing day by day, despite I was taking less food. I used to feel inconvenient even to walk. When I consulted doctors, they would say, ‘eat less, do exercise’. I could not do exercise with that huge body. When food was reduced, I would feel fatigue. My weight increased day by day and reached to 157 kg. Due the increased weight, the air was not sufficient to the body and I would feel short of breath. In addition to that, I would be short of air in sleep and it was sweating all over the body. When I consulted doctors, they said, it was very dangerous. It is called apnea. The breathing can be stopped in the sleep and thereby we would enter coma. To prevent the obstacle in sleep, and to supply air more, they have ordered a ventilator machine from America. I had to use it during sleep at night. Despite it was disturbing to use the machine, I had no other option. If I had taken it out, I would feel suffocated. It was a must during nights. Like that, three months have been passed.
I couldn’t bear my problem, and I joined in another nature cure ashram to reduce weight. They didn’t prescribe me fasting, due to the heavy body. They used to do body massaging and would give me bread (rotte) and curry without salt and oil. Like this I did for one month, and I could reduce 5-6 kg. But, during nights, if I remove the machine, then I used to face the problem again. When I was working as a police officer (D.I.G.) in Hyderabad, my Director General Sri H.J.Dora told me about Dr. Satyanarayana Raju and asked me to meet him as he had been coming from Vijag to Hyderabad. I met doctor in Jubilee Hills, Hyderbad. He observed my inconvenience and asked me to start fasting the very next day. He also said that there wouldn’t be the need for the machine, from the 4th day of fasting, He clearly said that as honey is given fasting, there won’t be any problem, despite having weight. Then, I started fasting without any fear. As he told me, from the fourth day of fasting, I could sleep happily, without the machine. From that day, I never had the need for it. While normally working in my office, I could do fasting for 35 days with honey, lemon and water. During fasting, I could come down from 152 kg to 125 kg (i.e., I could reduce 27 kg of weight). By the time I concluded fasting, my body was floating in the air, and I felt my steps were lighter than earlier and I felt very happy.
My tiredness and shortness of breath are reduced. In my 35 days of fasting, I never had any inconvenience. I could conclude fasting easily. After the fasting, I am taking the food prescribed by doctor. According to his instructions, I am doing asanas and pranahyama every day. Through asanas, my body reduced another 5 kg of weight. Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju has created an innovative way of fasting so that it is useful and safe for so many people like me. Through his medical method, he has given me another birth. Now, I have actively, taken the responsibility as the Police commissioner of Vijayawada, and I know that for this, all credit goes only to him. He created my body and health to suit my professional work. I owe him a lot for this. As he wants, I will never leave this nature cure method and would try my best to obtain other benefits. To my life, nature has given me a new turn. I take leave before giving salutations to the Mother Nature.

Yours Sincrerely

Foot corn are cured on feet

My greetings to all!
My name is S. Sardar. I am working in the Hyderabad branch of Vijay Nirman company. Due to my company chief, Sri Vijay Kumar’s encouragement and inspiration, I could learn about naturopathy, by reading books.
Since November 1996, all our family members have made the natural diet method and vegetable juices as our food system at home. I will explain in my next sentences how much improvement it has brought to the health of our family members. Earlier to this method, my weight was 94 kg. Now, it has come down to 72 kg in a span of few months. As this was going on, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Satyanarayana Raju through our company’s chief Sri Vijaya Kumar.
After Dr. Satyanarayan Raju has told me about fasting and also after listening to the experiences of the people who have done fasting, I also did fasting for 9 days. I didn’t have any health-related problems during fasting. As per the nature of my bod, I had to travel 60 km per day by scooter. But, still, I didn’t have any inconvenience. Though I had practiced naturopathic methods for 1 and half years, it took me 9 days to have hunger. It surprised me. This indicates that, in an average person who takes normal diet, I feel pity and fear to imagine the quantity of toxins the body contain. Because, these toxins serve as the basis for all the diseases that one gets in his future life. Man has the practice of getting the vehicles all services and overhauled, which are only thousands of value. But, this body does the service throughout life. But, we never get it serviced. It’s a pity. Fasting is like a service. Apart from that, lemon and honey that we use in fasting are very powerful. Lemon juice contains vitamin c (immunity). In the book, “Foods that Heal”, written by Dr. H.K. Bakru, it is mentioned that in honey, there are 22 amino acids, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes, 14 fatty acids, 11 carbohydrates. When honey is used in fasting, how can one feel fatigue? After the fasting, if we change the diet habits, we can make our life happier. I will explain my experiences in naturopathy, in the following sentences.
I used to have the problems of pain in left leg (Jalu), skin allergy, foot corn in feet (painless), gas, indigestion. My wife used to have sinus, pimples, blood deficiency, bad breath, vomiting, constipation etc. With such health problems, we used to consult different hospitals. When our diet habits converted from normal methods to naturopathy, within a few months, our health is recovered.
The method we have implemented is: we stopped all fries, spices, salt, sugar, pastry dishes, oils, bakery items, pickles, cool drinks. We also ensured that every meal is 1:3 ratio i.e., acid foods such as rice, roti, grams (dal) as 1 time and alkaline foods such as leafy vegetables, vegetables, fruit as 3 times. And, we are drinking one vegetable juice every day. By doing this, we could come out all health related problems and now, we are healthy. During snacks time, we are eating seasonal fruit many times.
As the English scientist Hippocrates said in 431 BC, “Let food be Thy Medicine”, our food is our medicine. This is true. For all the problems in the body, the best solutions lie in the food that we eat.
Similarly, once the body takes the nutrients of the food we have eaten, some waste matter will remain in the body. If we don’t send this waste out, these toxic waste will get mixed with blood; remain as permanent shelter for bacteria; move around the body along the blood; and get settled in the organs which are weak, causing diseases to us. To send these toxic waste out, god has given us good vegetables, leafy vegetables, fruit. These are called ‘scavenger foods’.
1. Protein foods i.e., grains, milk are source for body construction, 2. Carbohydrates i.e., rice, wheat, finger millet, sorghum etc give energy for the daily activities. 3. When these two items enter the stomach and produce acids in high quantities during the digestion time. To send these acids from the body, we need scavenger foods i.e., vitamins and minerals (vegetables, leafy vegetables, and fruit). These vitamins and minerals and needed for the body to take in. 4. Fats (oils) and 5. Water. The mixture and quantity of all these things would determine a person’s health.
As clearly explained in the book, “Foods that heal”, by Dr. Bernard Jensen, if we ensure that each meal contains the above said food items in the following proportions, then most probably, we won’t have any health problems: Acid foods – 20% i.e., (proteins 10% and carbohydrates 10%); Alkaline foods – 80% i.e., leafy vegetables and fruit).
When we are converting to this method, in the beginning, we may feel a bit troublesome. Whenever we are adapting to new methods, the mind will obviously show some resistance. To attain good results throughout our life, all these initial problems are just teething troubles.
Deatils of some vegetable juices that were benefial to me, my family and my friends:
1. Pre menstrual syndrome Stopping salt - To follow alkalinity
2. Leg pain (Jalu): Carat and Spinach juice
3. Gas: Cabbage and Cucumber juice
4. Ulcer: Cabbage and cucumber juice - for 3 weeks, to have food without mixing proteins with carbohydrates.
5. Pimples: Cucumber and alkalinity
6. Joint pains: Water and potato juice (50:50)
7. Bad breath: Lemon Juice
8. Blood from gums: Lemon juice
9. Constipation: Salads, fruit, vegetables, water
Many of our friends have converted to this method and got good results. If everyone plan their food in these methods, they don’t need to visit hospitals again and again. For the question, ‘can we cook food without oil and salt’, Dr. Satyanarayan Raju’s book. “Ahaaram – Alochana” (Food – Thought) is the answer. He has made so much effort in listing down 40 different types of dishes. I wish readers read them and try different other dishes and make their lives happier with health and taste. For this reason, I am sharing my experiences with you.

Yours Sincerely

Sheik Sardar

Meditation Experiences in Fasting

I am on 38th day fast and writing my expereinces.

What I have primarily observed is: my body is getting cleaned by itself, without my intervention. The 5 litres of water that I am taking daily does its duty. Till this day, after enema, so much stored faeces is getting discharged. I am observing that all the waste matter store in me for a long time is now going out through urine and hole. I have observed that the food that I have been taking for all these years, is getting dried up on the intestines. I feel, it is a great opportunity. The cleanliness that is happening in my body every day is giving me so much freedom and I feel new rejuvenated energy. Now, I will explain what is happening in the mind.

All my life, I have searched for love, peace and support in various ways. I used to actively participate in church programs. I have also done many religious fastings (churches, temples, mosques). But, nowhere did I get the satisfaction.

Four years ago, Mrs Sabrina has shared her experiences with some people about Vipassana meditation. I was among them. It’s a great day in my life. As I could see truth in what she was telling, I did 10 days Vipassana sadhana. There we had to follow simple but important rules. We should be completely silent, and apart from being silent, we need to agree to stick to 5 moral principles: they are 1. Not to kill anyone 2. Not to tell lie 3. Not to steal anything 4. Not to take any inebriating drinks 5. Not to do adultery.

After the 10 days of practice, I could make my mind listen to me. Then, I not only cleansed my mind but also could get rid of the mind impurities such as fear, anger, hatred, stress, contempt on others, insecurity, the pride of me and mind. That was possible through vipassana medication. That was purely scientific and experiential. In it, there are no mantras, worship and offerings. There are no masters or groups. This can be followed by any one – learned or unlearned. In one word, I realized that it is a complete life-changing path.

As in the fasting, the body started cleaned up, I felt it so light and free, and I could be in complete meditation. In vipassana meditation, the mind starts focussing on inhaling and exhaling and it observes the sensations of the body. I have observed that due to fasting, my mind has become so peaceful and fixed. I could also observe my inhaling and exhaling without any obstacles.

Another important thing that I would like to tell you is: this world is full of vibrations. We are also full of vibrations and sensations. All the people and things around us are full of vibrations. These vibrations can be good and bad. Because of these sensations, our behaviour gets changed. Based on our mental state, we respond to them.

The thoughts during fasting would be filled with love and unselfish service orientation.

Another important thing is: every minute, we are in movement. One is about myself and the second is about the surroundings, to be in movement. If any person approaches me with controlled anger, to be able to observe him. Despite he longs for any undesired thing, instead of anger, I would feel love for him. How is it possible? That’s because of the peaceful body and with more peaceful mind.

Every man deserves to lead a happy life. But, it depends on the food we eat and on our mind. This, I have realized through my experiences.

Rules we need to follow whole heartedly for complete health and if we want to make this life happy.

1. cleansing the body through fasting, eating food without salt, as suggested by Dr. Satyanarayan Raju.

2. To keep all our surroundings clean. To take bath twice a day. To grow plants.

3. To keep our mind as we are instructing it, and to do vipassana meditation to keep it clean.

Improved spirituality - Nature cure method - Self expereince

We all know that despite however hard we nourish and protect our body, it will perish one day. But, as long as we live, it is our responsibility and dharma to keep our body healthy. Because, whatever we need to achieve in life, it is only through this body. This body is given by god as a result of good karma to attain both material and spiritual. To use such an ideal tool for corporeal pleasures or for eating and wandering without any rules and guidelines and ultimately making it unhealthy would be completely senseless. Scriptures are saying that if we cannot utilize this body in this birth, it is not certain if we can attain human birth again next time. We got this body by paying so much price. If we lose this not using for our goal-attainment, it would be sheer misfortune on our part.

It is said, “Health is Wealth’. Despite having so much wealth, if we do not have good health, then the person’s life will be so unfortunate – for him and for his near and dear. The primary reason for this is that man is giving importance to taste and not giving importance to health. As a result, he is getting affected by many diseases. Without taking the natural food as it is given by god, we are making changes to them by boiling, frying and adding salt, chilli powder, oil, tamarind, spices and killing the nutrients of the food. We ourselves are losing our health, which should otherwise be enjoyed happily. We are welcoming diseases with two hands, though unknowingly. He is living in such a condition that he doesn’t even know what food to eat when. He is not taking the care that he should take for health or completely ignoring. And, the less we talk about the people who get addicted for various addictions.

At this situation, as it is said, ‘the doctor himself is the god’, the Sreemannarayana himself has come in the form of Dr. Manthna Satyanarayana Raju to help us with good diet habits and life style.

Sri Raju garu has initially done experiments on himself and practiced himself first in a rational and scientific way and, only after that he exposed the good results to the public and he is striving hard with passion and compassion to spread the method to many people. Some people do not have any awareness of health, and others who have never experienced good health, are thinking that as they don’t have any diseases, they are healthy. To such people, he is showing what is health and he is proving himself as a living example. His life’s motive is to help others, and with this selfless goal in life, he is offering services to others. Whoever takes up this nature cure methods, he would visit them at their place, check their health status, give the support required and working as an organization and not as an individual. He loves and offers services to all.

Self Introduction, About Self Experiences

After retirement, when I was staying in Sri Shanthi ashram in Totapalli hills, I came to know about this medical method from Sri R.S, and then I was introduced to Dr. Raju garu. Now, I am leading my life in this way. After I have converted into this method, I have realized what real health is and I am experiencing it. Earlier also, I was completely a vegetarian. I didn’t have any bad habits or addictions (even betal nuts, cigarettes etc). Nothing like diseases, medicine, consulting doctors etc. In a general sense, I am completely health. But, after meeting this doctor, he said, ‘It cannot be said that yours is complete health. Follow diet and life style according to nature cure method. Then, you will know what health is. One more thing: How can we know that your health will remain like this? What guarantee is there that you won’t be affect by ill healt? Anything is possible. If you follow this method, you won’t get any new diseases. The old ones will gradually recede. You health will become better’. He is such an intelligent guy to think like that. So, like many others who have followed this method, I am also getting the benefits. It happened just as he told. I used to catch cold frequently. Now, I am not getting any cold. My health is quite better than earlier. Now, my age is 63 years. My body attained some glow. I wouldn’t like to eat fruit in the beginning. Now, I am taking sprouts, honey and milk. Compared to earlier, I feel I am much healthier. My memory is improved and my thought process is clear and fair. My mind is also healthy. In my experience, I have learnt that eating boiled vegetables, uncooked food, eating more natural food such as fruit can be more useful to the people who are in the spiritual path.

We all know that food has its effect on thoughts. If we eat sattvik food, we will have decent thoughts and good behaviour. Natural food is far better. It can give us clarity of thought, serenity, concentration, stillness, self-control and sensual restraint. We will find god in every one, and will experience a quality to love all and serve all. Our approach and behavioural style will change towards life. All these qualities I am getting experienced recently (I have been following this method since 1997 Octorber). Now, I am leading a principles-based life.

1) Sukha Jeevana Sopanalu (Steps for happy life) 2) Aharam – Alochana (Food – Thought), these are the two books doctor has brought to the availability of the public. These books help us to understand the method clearly and to grasp the greatness of the method. So, we all should read these books, and recognize the greatness of nature cure method, and natural living style to improve our health to come out of the diseases. We should live the remaining years of our life happily and to serve our family and the people in the society. That is our minimum responsibility.

Read their books; consult the doctor, implement the nature cure method and get the benefits. This is the high way for materialistic and spiritual worlds. Come! You are welcome! Don’t lose the opportunity. It may not come back.

Mental Stress (Metal Depression)

Greetings to Nature lovers!

Until we undergo the stress, we don’t realize how much happiness and health peace of mind gives to man. Really, the torture is indescribable. If there is a pain in the body, then we can take painkillers and roam around. But, how mental depression troubles a man, only he can know it. My name is Kantha Prasad. My age is 42 years. I am a lecturer by profession. I am working in Bapatla Engineering college. I started new house construction in 1995. The problems and inconveniences happened during that time, created fear and tension in me. Gradually, I faced insomnia, constipation and lack of hunger. In this situation, after 20 days of time, I have developed memory loss. Because of this, I could not teach lessons in the classroom, 1-hour class would be completed in half an hour, not able to remember the lessons that I teach daily, sadness that I was not able to give justice to the students. Unable to take classes, I have taken leave. I left house construction completely. From this time, I had developed a certain fear in me and I could not go to the construction site. I used to lie down at home, without talking and moving. I could not go out to bring vegetables. I became life good for nothing.

My relatives have taken me to an allopathic specialist doctor. He gave me sleeping pills. Due to those tablets, I would feel sleepy even the day time. The mind would be dim and dazed. Day by day, the situation was becoming worse, but not improving. In the fourth month, I came to Hyderabad and got the treatment of hypnotherapy. Still, there was no use. The problems and sadness were same. Days were rolling. I wouldn’t understand what the problem was and how can it be cured. I have taken 5 months leave for college. Like a patient, I would stay at home, eating and lying down. During that time, I came to know about Dr. Manthena Satyanarayana Raju through my colleagues. I have decided to do as suggested by doctor.

I started fasting. All kinds of medicine were stopped. On the first two days, I couldn’t sleep well. But, later, due to steam bath and hot water foot bath, I could get good sleep. When more faeces used to go out in enema, it was like floating in the air. Earlier, I used to sleep till 8 am. But, from the 3rd day, I started to get up from 5 am. I felt the mind relaxed. From the fourth day, the body has become very light. On the 4th day, I felt like going to the market to bring the lemons I use for fasting. By that time, it was many days, I came out and got exposed to the sun. From that day, I had the faith that I would be cured. I felt like talking to the kids with love, discussing with the family members. From the 5th day, I felt like going to the construction site and see what was going on. After a week’s time, I felt like I could teach lessons and going to the college. When I asked doctor if I could go to college, he didn’t agree. Till the fasting is completed, he said, I better take rest. I used to keep my head (centre) part, in a cool basin for 20 minutes, twice a day, during the fasting. Due to it, I used to get mental peace. I was cool and I felt pleasant.

In fasting, day by day, I felt like flying away like a bird. My happiness knew no bounds. In that way, I could do fasting for 16 days. I have realized how I spoiled my mind and body using sleeping tablets for 5 months. Some of my friends used to make derogatory remarks, ‘how can you cure your problem by fasting?’ They were surprised to see the changes in me day by day. After 5 months, for the first time, I could laugh, talk, coming out only after fasting. After fasting, because of the food and pranayama, I could gain more energy to the body. I could stop cigarettes from the very first day of fasting. I simply lost the desire. When I moved to food stage, I used to go to college and take classes. Compared to earlier, I was able to teach well, with more patience. From fasting days, I could develop the ability to look at things and leave them, whatever it may happen. Then, I could take care of the new house construction myself without any tension. I have realized that when the disease is something different, we take unrelated medicine and cover the problem. I felt that is not the true way of treatment. For five months, I had to spend thousands of rupees for scanning, but there was no use. Dr. Raju could cure my problem completely without any expenses and without any tests. The cigarette smoke and the waste that have been stored for years in the body are gone with fasting. For the last three years, I have been happy mentally and physically, without any tension. I am obliged to the doctor throughout my life, for causing me such happiness. He gave me a new birth. Thank you.

Another Word

My greetings to you all, who have read all the book and starting to implement. Reading the book is one task. Practicing it, experiencing it and enjoying it is another. Implementing is the most crucial thing.

God has given us all, naturally. We are deliberately, moving away from the creaion of god and the boons He is offering us. The man who is moved away from nature, is struggliing like the child who is bereft of its mother.

We will follow the fasting dharma, which is offered by the nature, relieve the body from dieases and make effort to fulfil the joyful human life.

The splendid and powerful sun god is storing his energy in trees. By eating vegetarian food, we can take the sun's energy into us.

Let us eat nature's natural, uncooked vegetarian food, enriched with sun energy and live long and continue our journey in the good path.

Let us save the nature.

Nature will save us.

Anando Brahma - Health is happiness.

Yours

Sincerely

Manthena Satyanarayan Raju

Drink a lot of water - Go to bed ealy!

The smooth bowel movement - Relieves you from many diseases

Never skip pranayama - In the journy of you happy boat

Don't stop yoga daily - It is king of discipline

Vegetatirian food is feast - Rigt medicine for your health

Why going crazy for functions - We will end up taking medicine

A pint of salt - Can ruin your health

Fruit is invaluable - Don't step back for money

Non vegetarian food is good for taste - Bad for health

Weekly fasting - Steps for Health.
