In this inaugural episode of the Sadhguru 360 series, Sadhguru explores the profound nature of time, contrasting the transaction-oriented Gregorian calendar with the sophisticated Hindu lunisolar calendar. He explains how the ancient Indian sages mapped cosmic geometry to create a system designed for human well-being and spiritual growth rather than mere economic convenience.

Sadhguru decodes the cosmic mathematics embedded within the human system, highlighting the significance of the number 108 and how it connects our physiology to the solar system. He discusses the impact of celestial events like the equinoxes and solstices on our body's electrical charges, offering practical advice on how to align ourselves with these natural cycles.

Finally, the episode delves into the division of the year into Uttarayana and Dakshinayana, explaining how our metabolic and neurological systems respond to these phases. By utilizing tools like the Panchangam, seasonal foods, and sadhana, Sadhguru emphasizes that we can transition from being victims of cosmic cycles to riding them toward ultimate liberation.

Key takeaways

• The Gregorian calendar was created primarily for economic convenience and tax collection, whereas the Hindu lunisolar calendar is based on deep cosmic observation.
• The number 108 represents a profound mathematical link between human physiology and the geometry of the sun, moon, and Earth.
• During equinoxes, the Earth's magnetic field weakens, making the human system highly receptive to solar energy and electrical charges.
• Practices like keeping the head wet or applying castor oil help stabilize the brain's hyper-excitability during high-intensity solar periods.
• The year is divided into Uttarayana (a time for harvest and spiritual growth) and Dakshinayana (a time for purification and sadhana).
• The ultimate goal of yoga is to transcend physical cycles entirely, allowing human consciousness to remain unaffected by celestial movements.

There<00:03:45.877> was<00:03:46.135> a<00:03:46.199> time<00:03:46.827> when<00:03:47.004> survival<00:03:47.665> meant<00:03:48.357> food<00:03:48.615> and<00:03:48.776> shelter.

00:03:49.992 --> 00:03:59.348
Today,<00:03:50.316> food<00:03:50.623> and<00:03:50.720> shelter<00:03:51.999> are<00:03:52.177> getting<00:03:52.646> more<00:03:53.212> and<00:03:53.374> more<00:03:54.280> organized,<00:03:55.575> unfortunately<00:03:56.789> complicated,<00:03:58.245> and<00:03:58.407> of<00:03:58.569> course<00:03:58.796> expensive.

00:04:00.209 --> 00:04:07.902

00:04:08.657 --> 00:04:22.453
What<00:04:08.962> kind<00:04:09.235> of<00:04:09.380> food<00:04:09.781> you<00:04:10.086> eat,<00:04:11.066> what<00:04:11.323> kind<00:04:11.612> of<00:04:11.708> clothes<00:04:12.094> you<00:04:12.255> wear,<00:04:13.138> what<00:04:13.315> kind<00:04:13.620> of<00:04:13.780> home<00:04:14.021> you<00:04:14.182> live<00:04:14.358> in,<00:04:15.065> everyone<00:04:15.788> organizes<00:04:16.607> these<00:04:16.912> things<00:04:17.394> according<00:04:17.731> to<00:04:17.876> their<00:04:18.133> capability,<00:04:19.337> but<00:04:19.899> they<00:04:20.060> should<00:04:20.365> not<00:04:20.686> become<00:04:21.023> something<00:04:21.666> that<00:04:21.891> limits<00:04:22.373> you.

00:04:23.111 --> 00:04:25.665
They<00:04:23.256> are<00:04:23.352> only<00:04:23.738> to<00:04:23.834> support<00:04:24.380> you<00:04:25.039> in<00:04:25.183> your<00:04:25.360> life.

00:04:26.564 --> 00:04:41.537
Whether<00:04:26.869> you<00:04:27.046> went<00:04:27.287> to<00:04:27.512> office<00:04:27.849> by<00:04:28.090> walk<00:04:29.118> or<00:04:29.294> by<00:04:29.455> bicycle<00:04:30.563> or<00:04:30.804> whether<00:04:31.077> you<00:04:31.302> drove<00:04:31.543> a<00:04:31.623> car,<00:04:32.507> it's<00:04:32.812> just<00:04:33.149> a<00:04:33.294> question<00:04:33.791> of<00:04:33.952> different<00:04:34.434> people's<00:04:34.916> financial<00:04:35.542> capabilities,<00:04:36.747> and<00:04:36.843> the<00:04:37.004> choices<00:04:38.209> that<00:04:38.450> people<00:04:38.756> make<00:04:39.479> and<00:04:39.576> the<00:04:39.640> opportunities<00:04:40.444> that<00:04:40.604> are<00:04:40.845> available<00:04:41.263> to<00:04:41.424> them.

00:04:42.147 --> 00:04:46.008
But<00:04:42.726> essentially,<00:04:43.835> the<00:04:44.060> important<00:04:44.719> thing<00:04:45.041> is<00:04:45.250> you<00:04:45.443> got<00:04:45.766> there.

00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:51.176
The<00:04:47.639> means<00:04:48.657> of<00:04:48.818> travel<00:04:49.706> is<00:04:50.029> only<00:04:50.449> incidental.

00:04:51.886 --> 00:05:04.461
It<00:04:52.048> is<00:04:52.145> so<00:04:52.694> with<00:04:53.017> every<00:04:53.420> aspect<00:04:53.840> of<00:04:53.970> life,<00:04:54.809> but<00:04:55.374> the<00:04:55.616> incidental<00:04:56.326> factors<00:04:57.375> have<00:04:57.697> taken<00:04:58.036> on<00:04:58.601> such<00:04:58.940> significance<00:04:59.876> in<00:05:00.037> our<00:05:00.150> minds<00:05:01.183> that<00:05:01.829> the<00:05:01.974> fundamentals<00:05:02.636> of<00:05:02.781> life<00:05:03.184> have<00:05:03.330> been<00:05:03.535> completely<00:05:04.118> forgotten.

00:05:05.247 --> 00:05:10.141
If<00:05:05.343> you<00:05:05.504> pay<00:05:05.809> attention,<00:05:07.028> you<00:05:07.189> will<00:05:07.349> realize<00:05:08.392> time<00:05:08.777> is<00:05:08.954> not<00:05:09.291> about<00:05:09.596> economics.

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.100
The<00:05:11.024> yogis<00:05:11.505> have<00:05:11.666> always<00:05:12.019> seen<00:05:12.484> time<00:05:13.431> as<00:05:13.607> the<00:05:13.848> basis<00:05:14.474> of<00:05:14.570> creation.

00:05:15.533 --> 00:05:18.951
Time<00:05:15.918> is<00:05:16.078> always<00:05:16.415> ticking<00:05:16.800> away,<00:05:17.779> but<00:05:18.020> cannot<00:05:18.405> be<00:05:18.566> pinned<00:05:18.806> down.

00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:23.588
There<00:05:20.106> is<00:05:20.250> no<00:05:20.427> pause<00:05:20.828> button,<00:05:21.550> there<00:05:21.775> is<00:05:21.871> no<00:05:22.032> rewind<00:05:22.818> facility<00:05:23.396> there.

00:05:24.182 --> 00:05:28.049
Time<00:05:24.743> is<00:05:24.920> that<00:05:25.562> which<00:05:25.803> holds<00:05:26.284> the<00:05:26.509> entire<00:05:27.086> universe<00:05:27.648> together.

00:05:28.835 --> 00:05:32.205
Even<00:05:29.156> gravity<00:05:30.199> is<00:05:30.440> one<00:05:30.857> by-product<00:05:31.660> of<00:05:31.884> time.

00:05:32.687 --> 00:05:40.458
It<00:05:32.847> is<00:05:32.944> a<00:05:33.024> force<00:05:33.650> that<00:05:33.891> manages<00:05:34.533> the<00:05:34.710> time-space<00:05:35.513> relationship<00:05:36.781> and<00:05:36.877> allows<00:05:37.456> time<00:05:38.307> or<00:05:38.483> kala<00:05:39.447> to<00:05:39.591> find<00:05:39.912> expression.

00:05:41.293 --> 00:05:48.743
You<00:05:41.454> know,<00:05:41.711> many<00:05:42.080> times<00:05:42.562> I've<00:05:42.754> told<00:05:43.075> you,<00:05:43.702> the<00:05:43.766> experience<00:05:44.504> of<00:05:44.665> time<00:05:45.147> is<00:05:45.307> determined<00:05:46.335> by<00:05:46.752> which<00:05:46.929> side<00:05:47.378> of<00:05:47.475> the<00:05:47.619> toilet<00:05:48.037> door<00:05:48.278> you<00:05:48.438> are.

00:06:06.957 --> 00:06:16.499
If<00:06:07.069> you<00:06:07.197> are<00:06:07.374> going<00:06:07.694> through<00:06:08.512> something<00:06:09.683> very<00:06:10.421> unpleasant<00:06:11.287> or<00:06:11.624> compulsive<00:06:12.265> within<00:06:12.586> you,<00:06:13.388> then<00:06:14.815> minutes<00:06:15.553> will<00:06:15.793> become<00:06:16.130> years.

00:06:17.301 --> 00:06:23.379

So<00:14:55.056> there<00:14:55.153> are<00:14:55.217> a<00:14:55.281> lot<00:14:55.457> of<00:14:55.601> people<00:14:56.338> who<00:14:56.403> have<00:14:56.499> become<00:14:56.819> very<00:14:57.060> fatalistic<00:14:58.181> about<00:14:58.502> this,<00:14:59.287> that<00:14:59.463> right<00:14:59.768> now<00:14:59.960> Rahu<00:15:00.345> is<00:15:00.489> on,<00:15:00.745> so<00:15:00.890> I<00:15:00.986> will<00:15:01.210> not<00:15:01.450> do<00:15:01.611> anything.

00:15:03.069 --> 00:15:04.431
So<00:15:03.309> this<00:15:03.470> is<00:15:03.614> not<00:15:03.806> about<00:15:04.111> that.

00:15:05.457 --> 00:15:10.713
It<00:15:05.617> is<00:15:05.649> not<00:15:05.937> about<00:15:06.274> blaming<00:15:06.675> the<00:15:06.771> stars<00:15:07.380> or<00:15:07.412> the<00:15:07.556> planet<00:15:08.021> for<00:15:08.181> everything<00:15:08.598> that<00:15:08.822> you<00:15:08.998> do<00:15:09.944> or<00:15:10.104> you<00:15:10.216> do<00:15:10.360> not<00:15:10.601> do.

00:15:11.868 --> 00:15:21.807
And<00:15:12.190> what<00:15:12.382> is<00:15:12.543> wrong<00:15:12.832> with<00:15:12.992> your<00:15:13.169> life<00:15:13.554> is<00:15:13.715> not<00:15:14.052> because<00:15:14.454> of<00:15:14.550> the<00:15:14.694> planetary<00:15:15.160> positions,<00:15:15.899> it<00:15:16.059> is<00:15:16.204> about<00:15:16.621> enhancing<00:15:17.263> your<00:15:17.488> ability<00:15:18.082> to<00:15:18.227> respond<00:15:19.415> to<00:15:19.656> everything<00:15:20.154> that's<00:15:20.475> happening<00:15:20.956> in<00:15:21.037> this<00:15:21.278> cosmos.

00:15:22.305 --> 00:15:25.051
Only<00:15:22.482> if<00:15:22.626> you're<00:15:22.867> aware<00:15:23.204> of<00:15:23.381> it,<00:15:23.927> can<00:15:24.152> you<00:15:24.248> respond<00:15:24.810> to<00:15:24.971> it.

00:15:25.677 --> 00:15:35.857
And<00:15:25.918> only<00:15:26.191> if<00:15:26.319> you<00:15:26.416> respond,<00:15:27.459> not<00:15:27.764> react,<00:15:28.824> but<00:15:29.049> respond,<00:15:30.253> then<00:15:30.430> you<00:15:30.590> can<00:15:30.815> see<00:15:31.618> how<00:15:32.260> to<00:15:32.437> best<00:15:32.774> navigate<00:15:33.882> whatever<00:15:34.299> situations<00:15:35.391> arise.

00:15:36.612 --> 00:15:37.382
In<00:15:36.772> one's<00:15:37.077> lives.

00:15:38.217 --> 00:15:47.177
You<00:15:38.378> cannot<00:15:38.779> suddenly<00:15:39.261> make<00:15:39.582> the<00:15:39.807> earth<00:15:40.064> going<00:15:40.369> around<00:15:40.706> the<00:15:40.786> sun<00:15:41.653> to<00:15:41.750> go<00:15:41.975> the<00:15:42.055> other<00:15:42.312> way,<00:15:43.339> but<00:15:44.062> you<00:15:44.239> can<00:15:44.399> see<00:15:44.865> how<00:15:45.266> to<00:15:45.507> ride<00:15:45.844> this<00:15:46.085> cosmic<00:15:46.502> situation.

00:15:47.691 --> 00:15:51.287
This<00:15:47.996> cosmos<00:15:48.815> is<00:15:48.959> an<00:15:49.280> unfathomably<00:15:50.179> complex<00:15:50.741> mechanism.

00:15:51.689 --> 00:15:55.751
If<00:15:51.849> you<00:15:52.026> can<00:15:52.427> align<00:15:52.813> yourself<00:15:53.327> to<00:15:53.455> this<00:15:53.696> mechanism,<00:15:54.756> it<00:15:54.900> will<00:15:55.141> work<00:15:55.414> for<00:15:55.703> you.

00:15:56.281 --> 00:15:59.187
Your<00:15:56.506> life<00:15:56.747> shall<00:15:56.923> become<00:15:57.228> a<00:15:57.325> dance,<00:15:58.127> you<00:15:58.224> have<00:15:58.368> learned<00:15:58.609> to<00:15:58.754> ride.

00:16:00.135 --> 00:16:06.637
If<00:16:00.295> you<00:16:00.536> do<00:16:00.632> not<00:16:01.082> align<00:16:01.339> yourself,<00:16:02.238> it<00:16:02.366> will<00:16:02.543> work<00:16:02.848> against<00:16:03.346> you<00:16:03.972> or<00:16:04.229> the<00:16:04.325> same<00:16:04.807> cycles<00:16:05.433> of<00:16:05.594> time<00:16:05.995> will<00:16:06.156> crush<00:16:06.541> you.

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:10.668
Do<00:16:07.360> you<00:16:07.521> want<00:16:07.745> the<00:16:07.842> cosmos<00:16:08.548> working<00:16:08.966> for<00:16:09.287> you<00:16:10.074> or<00:16:10.170> against<00:16:10.571> you?

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.212
Well,<00:16:12.338> cosmos<00:16:12.980> will<00:16:13.140> neither<00:16:13.606> work<00:16:13.863> for<00:16:14.120> you<00:16:14.425> nor<00:16:14.666> against<00:16:15.131> you.

00:16:15.709 --> 00:16:17.925
It<00:16:15.854> is<00:16:16.031> working<00:16:16.432> the<00:16:16.673> way<00:16:17.299> it<00:16:17.460> is<00:16:17.636> working.

00:16:18.423 --> 00:16:21.217
It<00:16:18.584> is<00:16:18.744> for<00:16:18.985> you<00:16:19.788> to<00:16:19.884> sync<00:16:20.366> with<00:16:20.526> the<00:16:20.687> creation.

00:16:22.212 --> 00:16:27.334
If<00:16:22.357> you<00:16:22.517> sync<00:16:22.855> with<00:16:22.999> the<00:16:23.160> creation,<00:16:24.219> we<00:16:24.380> say<00:16:24.685> you're<00:16:24.878> in<00:16:25.022> yoga,<00:16:26.050> you<00:16:26.210> have<00:16:26.451> yoked<00:16:26.853> yourself.

00:16:27.912 --> 00:16:35.738
The<00:16:27.992> word<00:16:28.297> yoga<00:16:28.634> comes<00:16:28.906> from<00:16:29.035> the<00:16:29.115> word<00:16:29.420> yoke,<00:16:30.077> you<00:16:30.221> have<00:16:30.622> yoked<00:16:30.959> yourself<00:16:31.825> to<00:16:31.921> the<00:16:32.146> creation<00:16:33.268> and<00:16:33.429> if<00:16:33.605> possible,<00:16:34.487> to<00:16:34.567> the<00:16:34.712> source<00:16:35.129> of<00:16:35.209> creation.

00:16:36.636 --> 00:16:45.376
So,<00:16:37.695> there<00:16:37.919> are<00:16:38.079> many,<00:16:38.496> many<00:16:39.058> layers<00:16:39.619> to<00:16:39.763> the<00:16:39.843> Hindu<00:16:40.180> calendar<00:16:41.223> in<00:16:41.463> terms<00:16:42.008> of<00:16:42.826> larger<00:16:43.307> cosmos<00:16:44.350> and<00:16:44.430> the<00:16:44.574> solar<00:16:44.911> system.

00:16:45.953 --> 00:16:57.224
But<00:16:46.274> we<00:16:46.579> will<00:16:47.156> look<00:16:47.333> at<00:16:47.477> the<00:16:47.637> complex<00:16:48.183> form<00:16:48.984> which<00:16:49.177> is<00:16:49.562> the<00:16:49.786> loony<00:16:50.139> solar<00:16:50.684> calendar,<00:16:51.711> which<00:16:51.887> is<00:16:52.031> essentially<00:16:53.154> to<00:16:53.330> do<00:16:53.972> with<00:16:54.132> the<00:16:54.276> movements<00:16:54.837> of<00:16:54.933> the<00:16:55.029> sun,<00:16:55.894> the<00:16:55.990> moon,<00:16:56.776> and<00:16:56.856> the<00:16:57.096> earth.

00:16:58.682 --> 00:17:04.306
Different<00:16:59.179> regions<00:17:00.364> in<00:17:00.461> the<00:17:00.557> subcontinent<00:17:01.486> follow<00:17:01.839> slightly<00:17:02.544> different<00:17:03.104> versions<00:17:03.601> of<00:17:03.729> the<00:17:03.825> calendar.

00:17:04.947 --> 00:17:08.456
The<00:17:05.107> Tamil<00:17:05.508> people<00:17:06.389> follow<00:17:07.014> purely<00:17:07.510> the<00:17:07.655> solar<00:17:08.071> calendar.

00:17:09.177 --> 00:17:13.823
Other<00:17:09.513> parts<00:17:09.834> of<00:17:09.898> the<00:17:09.994> country<00:17:10.939> mostly<00:17:11.420> follow<00:17:11.740> the<00:17:11.900> complex<00:17:12.541> lunisolar<00:17:13.342> calendar.

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.893
The<00:17:14.800> lunar<00:17:15.201> calendar<00:17:16.307> goes<00:17:16.643> by<00:17:16.803> the<00:17:16.899> cycles<00:17:17.444> of<00:17:17.524> the<00:17:17.620> moon.

00:17:19.110 --> 00:17:23.920
The<00:17:19.142> solar<00:17:19.671> calendar<00:17:20.328> takes<00:17:20.649> the<00:17:20.745> sun's<00:17:21.145> relationship<00:17:21.930> with<00:17:22.091> the<00:17:22.235> planet<00:17:22.908> into<00:17:23.133> consideration.

00:17:24.338 --> 00:17:29.927
The<00:17:24.562> Looney<00:17:24.900> Solar<00:17:25.301> Calendar<00:17:26.410> is<00:17:26.586> a<00:17:26.747> complex<00:17:27.373> mix<00:17:28.176> of<00:17:28.417> lunar<00:17:28.835> and<00:17:28.996> solar<00:17:29.397> cycles.

00:17:30.281 --> 00:17:42.327
Because<00:17:30.827> all<00:17:31.068> of<00:17:31.244> them<00:17:31.469> are<00:17:31.646> moving<00:17:32.031> objects,<00:17:32.867> it<00:17:33.011> becomes<00:17:33.573> one<00:17:34.039> complex<00:17:34.617> piece<00:17:34.794> of<00:17:34.939> geometry<00:17:35.822> to<00:17:35.983> calculate<00:17:36.705> and<00:17:36.866> to<00:17:37.011> understand<00:17:38.215> what<00:17:38.552> impacts<00:17:39.115> it<00:17:39.356> has<00:17:39.837> at<00:17:39.870> different<00:17:40.512> times<00:17:40.737> of<00:17:40.865> the<00:17:41.026> year,<00:17:41.444> month,<00:17:42.070> and<00:17:42.247> day.

So<00:21:43.172> we<00:21:43.269> have<00:21:43.578> Ugadi<00:21:45.007> in<00:21:45.088> the<00:21:45.185> south,<00:21:46.056> Gudi<00:21:46.363> Pawa,<00:21:47.994> Vaikashi,<00:21:49.512> and<00:21:49.690> so<00:21:49.996> many<00:21:50.400> other<00:21:50.594> festivals<00:21:51.708> in<00:21:51.869> different<00:21:52.354> parts<00:21:52.612> of<00:21:52.741> the<00:21:52.838> country<00:21:53.306> to<00:21:53.403> mark<00:21:53.805> this<00:21:54.047> day<00:21:54.852> of<00:21:54.997> the<00:21:55.093> first<00:21:55.657> new<00:21:55.834> moon<00:21:56.140> day<00:21:56.526> or<00:21:56.687> the<00:21:56.784> full<00:21:57.025> moon<00:21:57.267> day<00:21:58.056> after<00:21:58.780> the<00:21:58.877> spring<00:21:59.263> equinox.

00:22:00.245 --> 00:22:03.675
Now<00:22:00.567> coming<00:22:00.970> back<00:22:01.211> to<00:22:01.292> the<00:22:01.453> precession,<00:22:02.580> you<00:22:02.757> know<00:22:02.870> what<00:22:03.047> is<00:22:03.224> precession?

00:22:04.256 --> 00:22:16.266
So<00:22:04.433> let's<00:22:04.675> say<00:22:06.754> if<00:22:06.915> this<00:22:07.173> planet,<00:22:08.220> which<00:22:08.446> is<00:22:08.559> rotating<00:22:09.171> at<00:22:09.332> a<00:22:09.671> slightly<00:22:10.235> tilted<00:22:10.638> like<00:22:10.879> this,<00:22:11.462> and<00:22:11.607> it<00:22:11.767> is<00:22:11.944> rotating<00:22:12.506> like<00:22:12.812> this<00:22:13.470> and<00:22:13.631> also<00:22:15.543> going<00:22:15.784> this<00:22:16.041> way.

00:22:16.828 --> 00:22:21.667
As<00:22:17.086> it<00:22:17.246> goes,<00:22:18.291> it<00:22:18.451> is<00:22:18.676> causing<00:22:19.078> the—<00:22:19.239> the<00:22:19.480> axis<00:22:19.978> of<00:22:20.122> the<00:22:20.219> planet<00:22:20.781> is<00:22:20.910> in<00:22:21.022> a<00:22:21.103> precession.

00:22:22.375 --> 00:22:41.318
The<00:22:22.617> axis<00:22:22.939> of<00:22:23.020> the<00:22:23.116> planet<00:22:24.469> is<00:22:25.533> at<00:22:25.694> an<00:22:25.839> angle,<00:22:26.660> so<00:22:26.902> the<00:22:27.063> precession<00:22:27.772> is<00:22:27.933> formed<00:22:28.899> or<00:22:29.318> essentially<00:22:30.509> it<00:22:30.670> is<00:22:30.783> moving<00:22:31.153> this<00:22:31.410> way,<00:22:32.038> it<00:22:32.134> takes<00:22:32.392> a<00:22:32.456> certain<00:22:32.778> amount<00:22:33.116> of<00:22:33.261> time<00:22:33.663> to<00:22:33.824> complete<00:22:34.307> this,<00:22:35.015> but<00:22:35.192> this<00:22:35.514> precession<00:22:36.141> makes<00:22:36.559> the<00:22:37.132> whole<00:22:37.453> calculation<00:22:38.335> of<00:22:38.495> calendar<00:22:38.912> making<00:22:39.361> into<00:22:39.537> a<00:22:39.842> very,<00:22:40.243> very<00:22:40.564> complex<00:22:40.997> affair.

00:22:41.943 --> 00:22:47.011
And<00:22:42.167> this<00:22:42.344> has<00:22:42.504> been<00:22:42.745> taken<00:22:43.130> into<00:22:43.386> account<00:22:44.348> in<00:22:44.509> the<00:22:44.589> Hindu<00:22:44.974> calendar<00:22:45.615> or<00:22:45.712> the<00:22:45.872> lunisolar<00:22:46.513> calendar.

00:22:47.379 --> 00:22:53.088
So<00:22:48.101> if<00:22:48.358> there<00:22:48.598> was<00:22:48.839> an<00:22:48.983> axis<00:22:49.432> sticking<00:22:49.865> out<00:22:50.025> like<00:22:50.282> this,<00:22:51.389> it<00:22:51.549> would<00:22:51.789> be<00:22:52.351> going<00:22:52.671> this<00:22:52.928> way.

00:22:54.131 --> 00:23:05.987
So<00:22:54.516> historically,<00:22:55.735> when<00:22:55.959> the<00:22:56.055> sun<00:22:56.456> moves<00:22:56.777> into<00:22:56.937> the<00:22:57.082> house<00:22:57.418> of<00:22:57.499> the<00:22:57.723> Aries,<00:22:58.621> which<00:22:58.846> is<00:22:59.022> called<00:22:59.327> as<00:22:59.583> Misha<00:23:00.786> in<00:23:00.882> Sanskrit<00:23:01.492> language<00:23:02.133> or<00:23:02.229> Samskritam,<00:23:04.316> That<00:23:04.621> should<00:23:04.734> have<00:23:05.039> been<00:23:05.280> the<00:23:05.457> equinox.

00:23:07.047 --> 00:23:18.759
That<00:23:07.272> was<00:23:07.433> the<00:23:08.011> equinox<00:23:10.003> lo—<00:23:10.196> many<00:23:10.501> years<00:23:10.823> ago,<00:23:11.786> they<00:23:11.883> say<00:23:12.333> around<00:23:13.313> 5th<00:23:13.650> century<00:23:14.453> CE,<00:23:15.883> but<00:23:16.140> today<00:23:16.686> it<00:23:16.847> is<00:23:16.992> about<00:23:17.345> 24<00:23:18.052> days<00:23:18.598> off.

00:23:19.642 --> 00:23:30.197
This<00:23:19.803> has<00:23:19.964> happened<00:23:20.783> because<00:23:21.168> of<00:23:21.265> the<00:23:22.068> precession<00:23:23.112> and<00:23:23.257> the<00:23:23.418> geometry<00:23:23.916> between<00:23:24.237> the<00:23:24.317> sun,<00:23:24.783> moon,<00:23:25.281> and<00:23:25.361> the<00:23:25.667> earth<00:23:26.711> changing<00:23:27.434> as<00:23:27.611> it<00:23:27.771> goes,<00:23:28.719> it<00:23:28.896> continues<00:23:29.538> to<00:23:29.763> change.

00:23:30.486 --> 00:23:41.645
Essentially,<00:23:31.610> if<00:23:31.706> you<00:23:31.931> look<00:23:32.108> up<00:23:32.268> in<00:23:32.349> the<00:23:32.445> sky<00:23:33.055> after<00:23:33.376> the<00:23:33.457> sunset<00:23:34.436> on<00:23:34.597> the<00:23:34.677> spring<00:23:35.143> equinox<00:23:35.721> today,<00:23:36.604> actually<00:23:37.005> you<00:23:37.166> are<00:23:37.246> seeing<00:23:37.647> a<00:23:37.808> different<00:23:38.274> part<00:23:38.466> of<00:23:38.547> the<00:23:38.627> sky<00:23:39.494> than<00:23:39.719> let's<00:23:40.040> say<00:23:40.297> 1,000<00:23:41.228> years<00:23:41.340> ago.

00:29:22.719 --> 00:29:32.013
That's<00:29:22.959> a<00:29:23.039> possibility<00:29:23.696> for<00:29:23.905> every<00:29:24.145> human<00:29:24.466> being,<00:29:25.363> that<00:29:25.828> you<00:29:26.148> can<00:29:26.469> rise<00:29:27.046> above<00:29:27.911> or<00:29:28.007> at<00:29:28.231> least<00:29:28.552> ride<00:29:29.049> the<00:29:29.209> potter's<00:29:29.770> wheel<00:29:30.571> that<00:29:30.811> is<00:29:30.972> the<00:29:31.116> solar<00:29:31.372> system.

00:29:32.654 --> 00:29:37.269
This<00:29:32.894> is<00:29:33.119> why<00:29:33.776> you<00:29:33.936> are<00:29:34.096> the<00:29:34.176> only<00:29:34.721> one<00:29:34.898> on<00:29:35.058> this<00:29:35.298> planet<00:29:35.699> who<00:29:35.859> is<00:29:36.019> referred<00:29:36.420> to<00:29:36.724> as<00:29:36.901> a<00:29:37.045> being.

00:29:37.847 --> 00:29:40.832

Otherwise,<00:29:55.842> you<00:29:55.987> are<00:29:56.083> like<00:29:56.468> every<00:29:56.789> other<00:29:57.030> creature<00:29:57.367> on<00:29:57.512> this<00:29:57.688> planet.

00:30:17.681 --> 00:30:24.636
It<00:30:17.826> is<00:30:18.003> like<00:30:18.310> a<00:30:19.117> hang<00:30:19.278> glider<00:30:20.085> or<00:30:20.165> a<00:30:20.262> glider,<00:30:22.360> it<00:30:22.505> flies<00:30:23.489> best<00:30:23.812> against<00:30:24.216> the<00:30:24.313> wind.

00:30:25.912 --> 00:30:36.197

00:30:48.067 --> 00:30:57.163
When<00:30:48.292> I<00:30:48.308> was<00:30:48.420> 17,<00:30:50.297> after<00:30:51.180> incessantly<00:30:51.998> trying<00:30:52.800> with<00:30:53.105> crude<00:30:53.425> designs,<00:30:54.468> I<00:30:54.564> managed<00:30:55.206> to<00:30:55.431> build<00:30:56.393> a<00:30:56.473> hang<00:30:56.890> glider.

00:30:57.598 --> 00:31:03.342
Of<00:30:57.857> my<00:30:58.084> own<00:30:59.055> from<00:30:59.297> a<00:30:59.330> model<00:30:59.799> that<00:31:00.025> was<00:31:00.203> there<00:31:00.446> in<00:31:00.527> the<00:31:00.608> Popular<00:31:01.093> Mechanics<00:31:02.064> magazine<00:31:02.630> at<00:31:02.792> that<00:31:03.019> time.

00:31:04.232 --> 00:31:18.163
And<00:31:04.410> we<00:31:04.572> didn't<00:31:04.815> have<00:31:05.122> the<00:31:05.187> modern<00:31:05.624> material<00:31:06.433> available<00:31:07.392> as<00:31:07.570> it<00:31:07.733> is<00:31:07.895> today,<00:31:08.805> so<00:31:09.194> we<00:31:09.438> bought<00:31:09.682> some<00:31:10.153> old<00:31:10.413> parachute<00:31:10.916> silk,<00:31:11.980> bamboo,<00:31:12.891> and<00:31:13.053> all<00:31:13.216> kinds<00:31:13.574> of<00:31:13.786> contraptions<00:31:15.576> and<00:31:15.917> built<00:31:16.731> a<00:31:16.894> huge<00:31:17.544> contraption.

00:31:19.574 --> 00:31:21.145
And<00:31:20.124> we<00:31:20.303> believed<00:31:20.691> it'll<00:31:20.934> fly.

00:31:22.472 --> 00:31:26.551
And<00:31:22.634> when<00:31:22.958> actually<00:31:23.476> it<00:31:23.622> came<00:31:23.865> to<00:31:24.027> flying,<00:31:25.107> running<00:31:25.508> down<00:31:25.765> a<00:31:25.845> hill<00:31:26.022> slope.

00:31:27.209 --> 00:31:29.938
None<00:31:27.434> of<00:31:27.595> my<00:31:27.771> friends<00:31:29.440> would<00:31:29.601> do<00:31:29.697> it.

00:31:30.644 --> 00:31:31.831
They<00:31:30.820> were<00:31:30.981> all<00:31:31.157> smart<00:31:31.607> boys.

00:31:33.051 --> 00:31:43.274

And<00:31:44.686> I<00:31:44.847> took<00:31:45.088> off<00:31:46.452> on<00:31:46.548> that<00:31:46.773> contraption.

00:31:47.912 --> 00:31:57.296
I<00:31:48.217> think<00:31:48.458> I<00:31:48.650> stayed<00:31:49.661> in<00:31:49.838> the<00:31:50.063> air<00:31:50.384> for<00:31:50.560> about<00:31:51.284> 22<00:31:51.703> seconds,<00:31:52.235> that's<00:31:52.412> what<00:31:52.573> they<00:31:52.734> told<00:31:53.041> me,<00:31:53.444> and<00:31:53.621> then<00:31:54.008> the<00:31:54.169> whole<00:31:54.604> thing<00:31:54.895> folded<00:31:55.378> up<00:31:56.039> and<00:31:56.184> I<00:31:56.281> went<00:31:56.603> down<00:31:56.910> crashing.

00:32:46.302 --> 00:32:50.775
They<00:32:46.399> are<00:32:46.479> referred<00:32:46.944> to<00:32:47.104> as<00:32:47.360> disturbances,<00:32:48.803> they<00:32:48.947> are<00:32:49.044> referred<00:32:49.444> to<00:32:49.669> as<00:32:49.845> negative<00:32:50.246> forces.

00:32:56.322 --> 00:33:03.279
Even<00:32:56.498> today,<00:32:57.364> all<00:32:57.764> airplanes<00:32:58.967> take<00:32:59.929> off<00:33:00.971> into<00:33:01.307> the<00:33:01.452> wind,<00:33:02.429> not<00:33:02.750> with<00:33:02.910> the<00:33:03.055> wind.

00:33:04.193 --> 00:33:04.994
You<00:33:04.273> must<00:33:04.578> know<00:33:04.754> this.

00:33:05.395 --> 00:33:12.361
Next<00:33:05.748> time<00:33:05.892> you<00:33:06.036> fly,<00:33:06.758> please<00:33:07.143> just<00:33:07.463> look<00:33:07.575> at<00:33:07.704> the<00:33:07.864> windsock,<00:33:09.951> Wind<00:33:10.144> is<00:33:10.272> against<00:33:10.690> you,<00:33:10.931> that's<00:33:11.172> when<00:33:11.397> you<00:33:11.510> soar<00:33:11.895> best.

00:33:12.715 --> 00:33:17.294
So<00:33:12.924> a<00:33:13.165> disturbance<00:33:13.840> is<00:33:13.984> a<00:33:14.064> disturbance<00:33:14.932> only<00:33:15.270> if<00:33:15.414> you<00:33:15.575> haven't<00:33:15.912> prepared<00:33:16.378> yourself<00:33:16.780> for<00:33:17.053> it.

00:33:18.467 --> 00:33:24.493

00:33:25.151 --> 00:33:31.980
The<00:33:25.296> same<00:33:25.794> cosmic<00:33:26.260> geometry<00:33:27.080> that<00:33:27.321> causes<00:33:27.883> lunacy<00:33:28.911> in<00:33:29.152> one<00:33:29.410> person<00:33:29.972> can<00:33:30.229> trigger<00:33:30.695> blossoming<00:33:31.418> in<00:33:31.563> another.

00:33:32.784 --> 00:33:36.685
It<00:33:33.009> completely<00:33:33.748> depends<00:33:34.230> on<00:33:34.696> how<00:33:35.113> you<00:33:35.257> have<00:33:35.578> engineered<00:33:36.075> your<00:33:36.220> system.

00:33:37.423 --> 00:33:55.003

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:12.893

00:34:13.696 --> 00:34:20.164
You<00:34:13.856> can<00:34:14.097> also<00:34:14.579> do<00:34:14.739> this<00:34:15.381> during<00:34:15.702> Amavasya<00:34:16.504> and<00:34:16.665> Pournami<00:34:17.307> or<00:34:18.270> the<00:34:18.366> new<00:34:18.671> moon<00:34:18.912> days<00:34:19.313> and<00:34:19.458> the<00:34:19.538> full<00:34:19.730> moon<00:34:19.955> days.

00:34:20.677 --> 00:34:29.344
But<00:34:20.918> this<00:34:21.159> period<00:34:21.624> from<00:34:21.801> the<00:34:22.025> equinox<00:34:22.555> to<00:34:22.748> solstice<00:34:23.887> is<00:34:24.048> important<00:34:25.332> because<00:34:26.295> this<00:34:26.535> is<00:34:26.680> the<00:34:26.840> time<00:34:27.258> the<00:34:27.338> sun's<00:34:27.900> impact<00:34:28.510> is<00:34:28.686> at<00:34:28.798> its<00:34:29.167> peak.

00:34:29.986 --> 00:34:37.015

All<00:35:53.524> Indian<00:35:53.861> festivals<00:35:55.208> are<00:35:55.385> calendar-oriented,<00:35:56.828> not<00:35:57.149> belief-oriented.

00:35:58.593 --> 00:36:16.125
Based<00:35:58.978> on<00:35:59.139> how<00:35:59.459> the<00:35:59.556> sun,<00:35:59.941> moon,<00:36:00.663> and<00:36:00.984> earth<00:36:01.385> are<00:36:01.481> aligned,<00:36:02.748> they<00:36:02.828> are<00:36:03.069> looking<00:36:03.470> at<00:36:03.727> what's<00:36:04.032> happening<00:36:04.673> on<00:36:04.850> that<00:36:05.090> day<00:36:05.732> and<00:36:05.973> creating<00:36:06.534> processes<00:36:07.577> so<00:36:07.802> that<00:36:08.540> people<00:36:08.941> are<00:36:09.085> involved<00:36:10.465> in<00:36:10.609> a<00:36:10.705> way<00:36:11.411> that<00:36:11.588> they<00:36:11.732> are<00:36:11.828> not<00:36:12.310> affected<00:36:13.112> by<00:36:13.272> certain<00:36:13.673> forces<00:36:14.298> but<00:36:14.554> benefited<00:36:15.180> by<00:36:15.340> the<00:36:15.420> same<00:36:15.677> forces.

00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:21.095
Because<00:36:17.039> not<00:36:17.424> every<00:36:17.648> human<00:36:18.001> being<00:36:18.706> is<00:36:18.947> made<00:36:19.203> with<00:36:19.348> the<00:36:19.444> same<00:36:20.470> resilience.

00:36:22.169 --> 00:36:25.503
Unless<00:36:23.291> they<00:36:23.451> do<00:36:23.628> the<00:36:23.708> right<00:36:23.996> things,<00:36:24.654> they<00:36:24.750> may<00:36:24.894> be<00:36:25.054> affected.

00:36:26.417 --> 00:36:29.992
What<00:36:26.882> one<00:36:27.138> can<00:36:27.459> go<00:36:27.699> through<00:36:28.020> effortlessly<00:36:29.206> may<00:36:29.383> break<00:36:29.719> another.

00:36:30.745 --> 00:36:33.246
So<00:36:30.986> many<00:36:31.322> simple<00:36:31.787> things<00:36:32.412> were<00:36:32.589> prescribed.

00:36:33.791 --> 00:36:43.833
For<00:36:33.967> example,<00:36:34.977> the<00:36:35.137> consumption<00:36:35.779> of<00:36:35.875> seasonal<00:36:36.500> fruit<00:36:36.917> and<00:36:36.997> vegetables<00:36:37.863> are<00:36:37.959> a<00:36:38.023> fundamental<00:36:38.744> aspect<00:36:39.642> Because<00:36:40.108> what<00:36:40.349> you<00:36:40.526> ingest<00:36:41.007> is<00:36:41.312> as<00:36:41.569> important<00:36:42.677> as<00:36:43.159> how<00:36:43.335> you<00:36:43.496> breathe.

00:36:44.604 --> 00:36:56.855
Well,<00:36:45.005> if<00:36:45.503> you're<00:36:45.728> in<00:36:45.760> from<00:36:45.985> southern<00:36:46.402> India,<00:36:46.852> in<00:36:47.109> this<00:36:47.350> time<00:36:47.607> of<00:36:47.751> the<00:36:47.896> year,<00:36:48.233> people<00:36:48.618> consume<00:36:49.196> what<00:36:49.373> is<00:36:49.582> called<00:36:49.774> as<00:36:49.983> Lakshmi<00:36:50.465> Charu<00:36:50.802> in<00:36:50.962> Andhra<00:36:51.203> Pradesh,<00:36:52.729> palai<00:36:52.986> sadham<00:36:53.756> in<00:36:53.917> Tamil<00:36:54.238> Nadu,<00:36:55.137> kulu<00:36:56.004> in<00:36:56.181> Karnataka.

00:36:57.610 --> 00:37:00.596
What<00:36:57.931> these<00:36:58.172> things<00:36:58.509> are<00:36:58.670> is,<00:36:59.392> they<00:36:59.456> are<00:36:59.713> cooling<00:37:00.179> agents.

00:37:01.078 --> 00:37:04.627
They<00:37:01.239> cool<00:37:01.560> the<00:37:01.656> system<00:37:02.603> and<00:37:02.764> they're<00:37:02.989> very<00:37:03.551> rich<00:37:03.808> in<00:37:04.049> B12.

00:37:05.076 --> 00:37:14.657
The<00:37:05.253> cooling<00:37:05.878> aspect<00:37:06.296> of<00:37:06.456> these<00:37:06.697> foods<00:37:07.563> and<00:37:08.302> B12-rich<00:37:09.088> component<00:37:10.083> is<00:37:10.372> very<00:37:10.773> important<00:37:11.591> when<00:37:11.832> the<00:37:11.912> sun's<00:37:12.426> rays<00:37:12.875> are<00:37:12.972> at<00:37:13.116> a<00:37:13.132> certain<00:37:13.662> level<00:37:13.934> of<00:37:14.079> intensity.

00:37:15.363 --> 00:37:20.707
So<00:37:15.603> these<00:37:15.844> things<00:37:16.149> they<00:37:16.245> realized<00:37:16.871> long<00:37:17.112> time<00:37:17.304> ago<00:37:17.529> and<00:37:17.770> these<00:37:17.994> things<00:37:18.251> were<00:37:18.492> very<00:37:18.957> ardently<00:37:19.519> followed<00:37:19.936> till<00:37:20.177> recently.

00:37:21.140 --> 00:37:29.019
But<00:37:21.445> today,<00:37:22.648> you<00:37:22.809> want<00:37:23.066> to<00:37:23.210> eat<00:37:23.611> fruit<00:37:24.414> from<00:37:24.670> New<00:37:24.847> Zealand<00:37:25.778> and<00:37:26.018> pasta<00:37:26.901> from<00:37:27.094> Italy<00:37:27.543> which<00:37:27.719> was<00:37:27.960> cooked<00:37:28.217> 3<00:37:28.377> months<00:37:28.746> ago.

00:37:29.549 --> 00:37:33.548
I<00:37:29.725> don't<00:37:29.950> have<00:37:30.191> anything<00:37:30.672> against<00:37:31.089> these<00:37:31.956> foods<00:37:32.841> or<00:37:33.017> the<00:37:33.098> places.

00:37:34.207 --> 00:37:40.545
Having<00:37:34.609> the<00:37:34.706> freedom<00:37:35.252> to<00:37:35.429> choose<00:37:36.072> is<00:37:36.233> great,<00:37:37.278> but<00:37:37.503> you<00:37:37.584> must<00:37:37.905> learn<00:37:38.162> to<00:37:38.387> choose<00:37:39.432> what<00:37:39.754> brings<00:37:40.092> well-being.

00:37:41.371 --> 00:37:50.094
Around<00:37:41.775> that,<00:37:42.585> you<00:37:42.763> want<00:37:43.005> to<00:37:43.151> have<00:37:43.880> a<00:37:43.977> little<00:37:44.220> adventure<00:37:45.822> into<00:37:46.146> the<00:37:46.243> foods<00:37:46.712> that<00:37:46.907> come<00:37:47.133> from<00:37:47.376> elsewhere,<00:37:48.412> here<00:37:48.655> and<00:37:48.720> there,<00:37:49.399> that's<00:37:49.787> fine.

00:37:50.612 --> 00:37:57.939
But<00:37:50.838> the<00:37:51.016> important<00:37:51.647> thing<00:37:51.906> is,<00:37:52.472> you<00:37:52.569> must<00:37:53.022> understand<00:37:54.073> what<00:37:54.332> you<00:37:54.574> consume<00:37:55.141> is<00:37:55.302> a<00:37:55.367> fundamental<00:37:56.257> instrument<00:37:57.292> for<00:37:57.486> your<00:37:57.648> well-being.

00:37:58.948 --> 00:38:02.462
So<00:37:59.124> in<00:37:59.204> the<00:37:59.349> Hindu<00:37:59.605> calendar,<00:38:00.488> the<00:38:00.793> year<00:38:01.034> is<00:38:01.210> divided<00:38:01.756> into<00:38:02.012> two<00:38:02.173> halves.

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:11.720
The<00:38:03.537> period<00:38:04.002> from<00:38:04.403> winter<00:38:04.676> solstice<00:38:05.382> in<00:38:05.542> December<00:38:06.489> to<00:38:06.585> summer<00:38:06.906> solstice<00:38:07.628> in<00:38:07.853> June<00:38:08.350> is<00:38:08.511> called<00:38:08.832> uttarayana,<00:38:10.420> the<00:38:10.452> northern<00:38:10.982> run<00:38:11.174> of<00:38:11.319> the<00:38:11.399> sun.

00:38:12.603 --> 00:38:15.988
The<00:38:12.683> sun<00:38:13.084> moves<00:38:13.421> northward<00:38:14.769> with<00:38:15.074> every<00:38:15.411> passing<00:38:15.892> day.

00:38:16.758 --> 00:38:20.192
Every<00:38:17.015> day<00:38:17.240> you<00:38:17.400> will<00:38:17.512> see<00:38:17.962> the<00:38:18.058> sunrise<00:38:18.716> is<00:38:18.860> a<00:38:19.005> little<00:38:19.278> more<00:38:19.807> to<00:38:19.903> the<00:38:19.984> north.

00:38:21.171 --> 00:38:31.498
The<00:38:21.331> period<00:38:21.668> between<00:38:22.069> summer<00:38:22.471> solstice<00:38:23.433> and<00:38:23.658> winter<00:38:23.915> solstice<00:38:24.653> is<00:38:24.861> called<00:38:25.182> dakshinayana,<00:38:26.546> This<00:38:26.722> is<00:38:26.866> the<00:38:26.898> southern<00:38:27.523> run,<00:38:28.405> that<00:38:28.629> is<00:38:28.870> when<00:38:29.046> the<00:38:29.142> sun<00:38:29.927> starts<00:38:30.408> to<00:38:30.504> move<00:38:30.809> southward.

00:38:32.715 --> 00:38:41.673
In<00:38:32.876> the<00:38:32.972> yogic<00:38:33.292> tradition,<00:38:34.013> Uttarayana<00:38:34.670> is<00:38:34.911> seen<00:38:35.520> as<00:38:35.616> a<00:38:35.776> time<00:38:36.161> of<00:38:36.257> harvest,<00:38:37.859> both<00:38:38.340> in<00:38:38.565> terms<00:38:38.901> of<00:38:39.045> agriculture<00:38:40.103> and<00:38:40.263> in<00:38:40.423> terms<00:38:40.808> of<00:38:40.888> spiritual<00:38:41.449> growth.

All<00:39:30.848> this<00:39:31.089> with<00:39:31.313> reference<00:39:31.730> to<00:39:31.827> Northern<00:39:32.276> Hemisphere,<00:39:33.254> because<00:39:34.200> maximum<00:39:34.857> population<00:39:35.483> for<00:39:35.579> the<00:39:35.723> longest<00:39:36.220> period<00:39:37.086> has<00:39:37.728> largely<00:39:38.305> been<00:39:38.529> in<00:39:38.626> the<00:39:38.722> Northern<00:39:39.171> Hemisphere.

00:39:40.293 --> 00:39:49.021
Considering<00:39:41.175> all<00:39:41.432> these<00:39:41.592> aspects,<00:39:42.715> we<00:39:42.875> created<00:39:43.420> various<00:39:43.901> processes<00:39:44.639> through<00:39:44.880> festivals,<00:39:45.906> so<00:39:46.083> that<00:39:46.388> you<00:39:46.548> can<00:39:46.805> benefit<00:39:47.287> from<00:39:47.608> these<00:39:47.929> natural<00:39:48.411> mechanisms.

00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.072
Let's<00:39:49.936> take<00:39:50.241> Margali<00:39:51.365> as<00:39:51.462> an<00:39:51.606> example.

00:39:52.489 --> 00:39:58.623
The<00:39:52.602> Tamil<00:39:52.923> month<00:39:53.244> of<00:39:53.405> Margali<00:39:54.448> starts<00:39:54.994> on<00:39:55.139> 16th<00:39:55.877> December,<00:39:57.065> towards<00:39:57.467> the<00:39:57.644> end<00:39:57.884> of<00:39:58.029> Dakshinayana.

00:39:59.233 --> 00:40:02.910
Margali<00:39:59.715> is<00:39:59.811> the<00:39:59.972> time<00:40:00.935> to<00:40:01.080> bring<00:40:01.417> stability<00:40:02.204> and<00:40:02.460> balance.

00:40:03.504 --> 00:40:06.041
There<00:40:03.729> are<00:40:03.890> many<00:40:04.211> practices<00:40:04.853> you<00:40:05.030> can<00:40:05.270> do<00:40:05.736> for<00:40:05.929> this.

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:15.447
We<00:40:07.021> have<00:40:07.213> told<00:40:07.518> you,<00:40:08.321> you<00:40:08.546> are<00:40:08.707> supposed<00:40:09.204> to<00:40:09.429> take<00:40:09.847> a<00:40:10.007> cold<00:40:10.392> water<00:40:10.794> dip<00:40:11.372> before<00:40:11.773> sunrise,<00:40:13.056> preferably<00:40:14.404> at<00:40:14.500> the<00:40:14.645> Brahma<00:40:14.918> Muhurtham.

00:40:16.506 --> 00:40:29.325
So<00:40:16.730> when<00:40:16.907> you<00:40:17.709> take<00:40:17.934> a<00:40:17.950> dip<00:40:18.207> in<00:40:18.335> the<00:40:18.495> cold<00:40:18.752> water,<00:40:19.795> the<00:40:19.955> blood<00:40:20.260> vessels,<00:40:20.757> particularly<00:40:22.763> just<00:40:23.004> beneath<00:40:23.325> the<00:40:23.421> skin<00:40:25.089> across<00:40:25.474> your<00:40:25.651> body,<00:40:26.758> will<00:40:27.319> shrink<00:40:28.202> or<00:40:28.378> become<00:40:28.699> very<00:40:28.876> narrow.

00:40:29.902 --> 00:40:34.716
This<00:40:30.143> conserves<00:40:31.090> energy<00:40:32.213> without<00:40:32.614> letting<00:40:32.935> the<00:40:33.031> heat<00:40:33.737> going<00:40:33.994> out<00:40:34.154> of<00:40:34.218> the<00:40:34.315> system.

00:40:35.742 --> 00:40:48.904
This<00:40:36.015> narrowing<00:40:36.946> and<00:40:37.667> widening,<00:40:38.244> which<00:40:38.468> naturally<00:40:38.949> happens<00:40:39.286> with<00:40:39.510> activity,<00:40:40.632> the<00:40:40.729> blood<00:40:41.049> vessels<00:40:41.450> become<00:40:41.771> more<00:40:41.947> flexible,<00:40:43.133> which<00:40:43.358> is<00:40:43.598> very<00:40:43.919> important<00:40:44.976> to<00:40:45.073> maintain<00:40:45.682> healthy<00:40:46.018> blood<00:40:46.259> pressure<00:40:47.205> and<00:40:47.381> for<00:40:47.541> the<00:40:47.686> cardiovascular<00:40:48.487> system.

00:40:49.288 --> 00:40:53.568
Doing<00:40:49.545> this<00:40:49.785> process<00:40:50.507> for<00:40:50.811> just<00:40:51.308> one<00:40:51.629> day<00:40:52.270> will<00:40:52.494> only<00:40:52.751> shock<00:40:53.152> the<00:40:53.312> body.

00:40:54.177 --> 00:41:03.619
It<00:40:54.290> will<00:40:54.514> not<00:40:54.819> leave<00:40:55.300> any<00:40:55.540> lasting<00:40:56.037> physical<00:40:56.502> change,<00:40:57.303> which<00:40:57.544> is<00:40:57.720> why<00:40:58.121> we<00:40:58.361> tell<00:40:58.538> you<00:40:58.762> to<00:40:58.858> do<00:40:59.083> this<00:40:59.371> for<00:40:59.547> a<00:40:59.563> whole<00:40:59.868> mandala<00:41:00.910> or<00:41:01.647> a<00:41:01.727> period<00:41:02.144> of<00:41:02.224> 40<00:41:02.689> to<00:41:02.785> 48<00:41:03.330> days.

00:41:04.116 --> 00:41:11.759
If<00:41:04.212> you<00:41:04.437> go<00:41:04.694> through<00:41:04.855> this<00:41:05.096> process<00:41:05.979> for<00:41:06.155> a<00:41:06.284> whole<00:41:06.621> mandala,<00:41:08.130> it<00:41:08.371> can<00:41:08.773> improve<00:41:09.335> the<00:41:09.431> condition<00:41:10.218> of<00:41:10.314> your<00:41:10.475> cardiovascular<00:41:11.293> system.

00:41:12.482 --> 00:41:14.473
There<00:41:12.706> are<00:41:12.947> various<00:41:13.509> aspects<00:41:14.071> like<00:41:14.312> this.

00:41:15.115 --> 00:41:24.331
I<00:41:15.211> won't<00:41:15.516> go<00:41:15.613> into<00:41:16.078> all<00:41:16.271> the<00:41:16.480> health<00:41:16.801> aspects<00:41:17.443> because<00:41:19.049> what<00:41:19.225> we're<00:41:19.386> talking<00:41:19.787> about<00:41:20.992> is<00:41:21.152> about<00:41:21.393> the<00:41:21.473> phenomena<00:41:22.019> of<00:41:22.196> life<00:41:22.517> itself,<00:41:23.320> not<00:41:23.561> just<00:41:23.818> about<00:41:24.123> health.

00:41:25.150 --> 00:41:29.084
Maybe<00:41:25.889> for<00:41:26.114> most<00:41:26.515> people,<00:41:26.933> health<00:41:27.270> benefits<00:41:27.800> are<00:41:27.960> what<00:41:28.153> is<00:41:28.362> most<00:41:28.619> tangible.

00:41:29.646 --> 00:41:32.755
But<00:41:30.287> the<00:41:30.383> fundamental<00:41:31.168> is<00:41:31.344> not<00:41:31.601> simply<00:41:32.146> about<00:41:32.530> health.

00:41:33.412 --> 00:41:40.286
We<00:41:33.508> are<00:41:33.668> trying<00:41:34.069> to<00:41:34.229> ensure<00:41:35.110> that<00:41:35.254> the<00:41:35.431> body<00:41:35.975> and<00:41:36.216> mind<00:41:37.193> don't<00:41:37.514> become<00:41:37.818> obstacles<00:41:38.860> in<00:41:39.741> our<00:41:39.901> lives.

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:46.535
They<00:41:41.600> should<00:41:41.840> become<00:41:42.161> stepping<00:41:42.642> stones<00:41:43.667> for<00:41:43.843> your<00:41:44.068> immediate<00:41:44.709> and<00:41:44.869> al—<00:41:45.350> ultimate<00:41:46.071> well-being.

00:41:47.209 --> 00:41:59.438
Well,<00:41:48.154> as<00:41:48.474> a<00:41:48.555> part<00:41:48.827> of<00:41:48.971> that,<00:41:50.093> we<00:41:50.317> want<00:41:51.038> health,<00:41:52.016> we<00:41:52.240> want<00:41:52.641> emotional<00:41:53.122> exuberance,<00:41:54.163> sharpness<00:41:54.820> of<00:41:54.964> the<00:41:55.028> mind,<00:41:56.022> But<00:41:56.984> these<00:41:57.305> are<00:41:57.449> not<00:41:57.866> an<00:41:58.027> end<00:41:58.572> unto<00:41:58.812> themselves.

00:42:00.111 --> 00:42:05.932
You're<00:42:00.271> supposed<00:42:00.656> to<00:42:00.817> use<00:42:01.073> these<00:42:01.314> as<00:42:01.458> a<00:42:01.554> basis<00:42:02.516> to<00:42:02.661> explore<00:42:03.463> the<00:42:03.527> more<00:42:03.879> profound<00:42:04.585> aspects<00:42:05.146> of<00:42:05.323> being<00:42:05.563> human.

00:42:06.750 --> 00:42:09.508
Human<00:42:07.231> life<00:42:07.728> does<00:42:07.952> not<00:42:08.353> end<00:42:08.690> with<00:42:08.866> survival.

Human<00:42:10.374> life<00:42:10.855> begins<00:42:11.480> only<00:42:11.817> when<00:42:11.993> survival<00:42:12.635> is<00:42:12.779> taken<00:42:13.164> care<00:42:13.404> of.

00:42:14.527 --> 00:42:22.801
And<00:42:14.848> above<00:42:15.104> all,<00:42:16.130> if<00:42:16.227> you<00:42:16.451> are<00:42:16.563> a<00:42:16.692> human<00:42:17.109> being,<00:42:17.975> the<00:42:18.071> stars<00:42:18.632> and<00:42:18.792> the<00:42:18.937> planets<00:42:19.995> need<00:42:20.252> not<00:42:20.556> decide<00:42:21.358> your<00:42:21.534> experience<00:42:22.320> of<00:42:22.481> life.

00:42:23.427 --> 00:42:28.242
You<00:42:24.069> and<00:42:24.245> you<00:42:24.550> alone<00:42:25.353> should<00:42:25.594> be<00:42:25.690> the<00:42:25.915> one<00:42:26.556> to<00:42:26.653> decide<00:42:27.134> your<00:42:27.295> inner<00:42:27.552> experience.

00:42:28.643 --> 00:42:35.720
