Importance of Sun light and its Health benefits

Importance of Sun light and its Health benefits

Before we learn about the importance of sun light, I want to ask you 2 questions.

1.How frequently you see sun rise?

2.How much time you spend in sun light daily?

If you are not seeing sun rise frequently and if you are not spending minimum 15 minutes daily in sun light then you have to know how much you are losing in your life

Hindhu Dharam says  “Arogyam Baskaraditcheth “  meaning bhagvan Surya Narayan will give good health. It says if you have health problems worship bhagawan surya Narayan.

In olden days people used to have practice of doing suryanamaskar early in the morning and they used to spend their time in sun light. That’s why our previous generations are healthy.

Now let us understand, why Hindu dharma says to do surya namsakar or to worship sun god early in the morning and what we are losing because of not doing it

Now a day’s many people are getting calcium problem and depression, especially in women because we are not getting exposed to sun light.

So friends from now make a habit of spending minimum 15 minutes in sun, early morning every day. If you can do surya namaskar or pray sun god in sunlight it will be best. If you can’t do surya namaskar atleast spend 15 min in sun light early morning by walking or even just sitting. Some people have the habit of brushing or drinking tea sitting in sun light, you can try this as well so that you can get the benefits of it.

And if you can’t spend time early morning try to spend 15 min in other time of day , because something is better than nothing.

In many countries there will not be proper sun light. But in Bharat we are blessed that we will have good sun light throughout the year.  So friends make use of it and be healthy & happy.

Akshara Parabrahma Yoga - Shrimad Bhagavad Gita eighth Chapter

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita eight chapter – Akshara Parabrahma Yoga

Arjuna: Madhusudhana (lord Krishna), how a yogi will get to know you during the death time ?”

Bhagawan Shri Krishna: A person who leaves his body by thinking about me will reach me. There is no doubt in it.

Soul will attain the thing, about which the person thinks during the time of leaving the body.

So Arjuna you keep remembering me all the time. If you offer your manas and buddhi to me, you will reach me for sure.

People who always keep remembering me, will have a stable manas during the time of death. And with devotion and  power of yoga they will keep their prana Shakti (living force) between the eye brows and reach me.

People who get Moksha will not have rebirth, which is the root cause of all the sufferings.

Even if a person reaches Brahma lokam, he has to take rebirth. There will not be rebirth only if the soul reaches me.

Brahmas day time is equal to 1000 Maha yugas (1 maha yuga will have four yugas) and his night time is equal to 1000 Maha Yugas. All the nature and universe will be born and exists during Brahmas day time and during his night time, they will be destroyed.

Paramathma  is above all this and will not be destroyed. If you reach paramathma you will not have rebirth. And that Paramathma can be reached only by devotion.

Jnana Vignana Yoga - Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Seventh Chapter

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita seventh chapter – Jnana Vignanan Yoga 

Bhagawan shri Krishna: I will tell you about the knowledge, after knowing which there is no need to know anything else .

Out of 1000’s of people there will be 1 who will be trying to get moksha. Out of those people who are trying to get moksha, there will be very few people who will understand me as I am.

One nature (form) of mine is divided into 8 – earth, water, fire, air, sky, manas (thinking power/ brain), buddhi (wisdom of differentiating bad & good and choosing to do good things), ahankar (attitude)

There is one more nature (form) which is greater and different than previous nature (form). It is the soul.

All the living beings are born because of this 2 natures. I am responsible for creation and destruction of nature. There is nothing greater than me.

Jnana Vignana Yoga Bhagavad Gita

Arjuna, I am the light in moon & sun, I am the omkar in Vedas, I am the heat in fire, I am the life in all the human beings.

All the thamasik, rajas and satvik thoughts will come because of me. But remember I am not in them. These thought create illusion (Maya) because of which the entire world (living beings) will not be able to recognize me, who is different and beyond this illusion. It’s almost impossible to come out of this Maya (illusion). But people who believe and worship me can come out of this Maya.

After many janmas (life’s) human will get jnana (actual knowledge), that I am everything and starts worshiping me. This kind of people are very less.

Since I will be covered by yoga Maya all can’t see me. World (people) can’t understand that I am the one who doesn’t have start and end.

I know people of past, present and future. But no one knows about me.

People who understand me, will keep their manas in control and keep remembering me every movement.

Atma Yoga - Shrimad bhagavad Gita sixth chapter

Shirmad Bhagavad Gita Sixth chapter – Atma Yoga 

Bhagavan shri Krishna: karma sanyasi is the one who do the karma (duty) without any expectations or karmaphala (result). One who can’t give up his expectations and wishes can never become a yogi.

One should improve himself. A controlled mind (manas) is like a friend and uncontrolled mind is like an enemy.  (Below are the steps given by bhagavan shri Krishna to control mind)

One should place a cloth or a mat in a neat place and should sit on it. Then he should first relax. He should sit in such a way that his neck, head and backbone should be straight. Then he should look at the tip of the nose and then he should meditate on me (god).

A person who eats more or less, who works more or less, who sleep more or less can’t practice dhyanam (meditation).

One should control his thoughts by meditation and should keep his manas in athma.

When manas (thoughts) which is not constant moves here and there we should get it back to our athma.

The person who is able to find me in all human beings and all human beings in me is always close to me.

Arjuna: Krishna I think it’s difficult to practice athma yoga with this manas which is not constant.

Mind is very fickle. As it is very difficult to control a strong wind in the same way it is very difficult to control manas.

atma yoga bhagavad gita

Shri Krishna: There is no doubt in this. It is very difficult to control manas. But with practice, vairagya and self -discipline it is possible to control manas.

Arjuna: Krishna what will happen to a person who try to achieve this but unable to achieve and to a person who   achieved it and unable to stay in that stage. Will he be deprived of the both enjoyments in this world and the yoga as well?

Bhagawan shri Krishna: Arjuna nothing goes wrong for a person who tries to do good.

A person who tried but unable to achieve yoga will go to punyalokas (better world) stay there for many years and then will be born again as a human to very good parents and in good family. Then he will get back the knowledge which he has achieved in previous life. He will start his journey towards yoga from the point where he has stopped earlier.

Of all the yogis person who fill his manas with me, is the best

Sanyasa Yoga - Bhagavad Gita Fifth Chapter

Bhagavad Gita fifth chapter – Sanyasa Yoga

Arjuna: Krishna once you are saying that giving up karma is good and on the other side you are saying karma yoga (doing work without expectations) is good. Please let me know which is the best in both

Bhagavan Shri Krishna: Karma sanyasa (giving up), karma yoga both will take you to the same place. But in this both,  karma yoga is better than karma sanyasa.

One who does not hate, who does not have desire is the nitya sanyasi (perfect/continuous sanyasi). only fools will say that sankya yoga and karma yoga are different. If one is practiced perfectly result of both will be achieved (received)

karma sanyasa yoga bhagavad gita

A yogi who has got the true knowledge will consider that breathing, smelling, seeing etc are done by indriyas (sense organs) but not by him.

Great people will consider an educated person, an uneducated person, cow, elephant etc. as equal.

A yogi should not think about happiness which has start and end.(which are not ever lasting)

A rishi who’s soul is without impurities, who has control over his thoughts and who pray for the good of all will reach Brahma Nirvana stage.

One who has understood me as the receiver of all yagnas, lord of all the worlds and as well-wisher of everyone will get permanent peace”

Jnana Yoga - Shrimad Bhagavad Gita fourth Chapter

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita fourth chapter – Jnana Yoga  

Bhagavan Shri Krishna: I have earlier told this karma yoga to sun god, from sun god this knowledge of karma yoga was learned by many. But with time, the knowledge of karma yoga was forgotten. So I am telling that sanatana (very old and precious) yoga to you.

Arjuna: Sun god is millions of years elder than you how is it possible that you have taught him karma yoga?

Shri Krishna : you and me have already spent many janmas (life’s). But I remember all those janmas but you don’t remember it.

Arjuna! Whenever there is a problem to dharma and when adharma becomes more, to protect the good people, to eradicate the bad people and to establish dharma, I will be born in every yuga. Who all understands the meaning of my janmas (life) and karmas(works) will not born again(will get moksha). Many great people who gave away affection, fear, anger and kept meditating about me has reached me because of jnana tapasya.

jnana yoga bhagavad gita

Arjuna I will be blessing people in the form they pray me. One who doesn’t keep attachment with karma phala (result) who is always satisfied, who is not dependent on anything and keeps doing the duty is considered as a person who has not done any karma. Controlling the indriyas, prana and understanding brahma tatva (oneness or actual knowledge) is like doing yagna.

Arjuna how fire can burn wood into ashes, in the same way jnana can burn all karmas. One who doesn’t have jnana, concentration and who is always confused will be destroyed. A confused person will not have peace in this life and even after life. One should come out of the confusion with Jnana (actual knowledge).

So Arjuna remove the confusion which is born from ignorance with help of Jnana.

Karma Yoga - Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Third Chapter

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Third chapter – Karma Yoga 

Arjuna after listening to sankya yoga

Arjuna: Krishna don’t confuse me with your words , is it better to give up everything and live like a saint or is it good to do karma? Tell me clearly what is good to me

Bhagavan Shri Krishna: Gyana yoga( giving up and knowing the actual knowledge) is for sankyas(saints) and karma yoga should be followed by yogis. Do your karma(duty).It is better to do your duty than not doing. If karma is not done life journey will not go further.

Considering the good that is going to happen to the world, it is always better to do karma. So it is better for you to do karma. Leave all your karma’s to me, put your chitta(consciousness) in atma(soul), leave desire, affection and do the war.

Who all perform karma as said above will get released from all the karma’s.

In everything (which can be seen,felt,heard……) there will be raga(affection) or dvesha(dislike or enemity). A karma yogi should not be bound by this. Ragadvesha are enemies to karma yogi.

karma yoga bhagavad gita

Arjuna: Krishna why a human is doing papa( evil things) as if someone is forcing them to do? What is the reason and who is responsible for it?

Shri Krishna: Papa(evil) will be born from kamam(desire) , krodh(unnecessary anger) , rajogun(attitude of doing anything for a need). These are the enemies for every person in this world.

Kama(desire) will cover the knowledge of a person as dust covers a mirror. Kama cannot be satisfied. Kama will cover the gyana(knowledge) and with the help of indriyas(sense organs) will lead the person in to moha(illusion).

Indriyas are powerful, manas(thinking power/will….) is more powerful than indriyas, buddhi(power of differentiating good and bad) is more powerful than manas and atma(soul) is more powerful than buddhi. So with the help of atma(soul) control your indriyas and kill kama(desire).
