Be careful with diet

Modern health suffers from a lost connection to natural food and cooking. Most physical and mental unwellness stems from poor diet and heart. Commercial foods like bread contain unknown, harmful ingredients such as feather powder and hair. Humanity's great mistake is forgetting how to cook and use nature's bounty, like medicinal trees. People discard beneficial plants, such as the babul tree, which can cure many ailments. They chase artificial, advertised foods devoid of life force, or prāṇa. True nourishment requires learning to properly prepare vegetables with correct spices. Return to home cooking, abandon junk food, and use natural ingredients to ensure health.

"Eighty-six percent are not healthy because the heart and the diet are not good."

"Eighty percent of diseases in women can be cured through only this babul."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Dev Purī. Sāmā Devakī, Sanātana Dharmakī, Hari Om. We had a beautiful seminar. We have to learn many things. I know that many people don’t like what I tell. And unless you do this, your physical and mental health will not be good. I see everyone’s body and face. Eighty-six percent are not healthy because the heart and the diet are not good. You are vegetarian, I know. But you went to the wrong side. Butter, bread, cheese, milk, butter, bread, cheese—that’s all. You know what is in the bread. If there is a little bakery in the village, a little bakery, that’s good. But big bakeries, which are producing the breads and such, we don’t know what kind of oil, spices, salt, or many other animal things they are putting in. We heard that all the feathers of the flying creatures, their feathers, they are making powder and putting it in the bread, in the wheat flour. And those who want to have brown bread, and that is from the humans and some goats and their hair, the McBorder. The hairs are sold in many hotels, also from the barber shop, and at the butcher’s house. And who cleans? Nobody cleans. Someone has a different color and a different perfume, and like this, and different fat, and someone has disease in the skin, head, skin. You don’t know. They don’t clean. Just goes in the machine to make the powder. And it goes to the brown bread, also from the prisoner’s hair. This was given in one. Yes, nourishment is there, food is there, but you don’t know how to eat and how to cook. So, it is the biggest, biggest mistake of humans that they lost cooking. And from nature, we have so many things, but we have forgotten to use them. Example. I’m trying to bring some ancient old trees and bushes, something from there. Now, we came to know, yesterday we read about babool. And do you know Ramdev’s toothpaste? Who has the toothpaste of Ramdev? Okay, thank you. So, about 15% are using the toothpaste of Ramdev. I’m not supporting this as an advertisement. Ramdev is a very nice person, a very, very nice person. And his point is, number one, to give health to all humans. And so in his toothpaste, there is all this, like barbabool, for example. And on the toothpaste tube, there is also a picture of the babul tree. But Indians are just chipping off these trees and throwing them away. No one is eating, no one is using. And if you cook, they say, "Oh, it’s the food of the goats and the camels." Because Indians are now running behind what Europeans have thrown away. You are sitting now nicely here in the hall on the floor. And mostly Indians will choose some chair. Because it is a shame to sit on the floor. So Indians have lost. They lost. They lost the way of eating and cooking also. Indians also lost. They don’t know how to cook. Thanks to our grandmothers and our mothers, all these ladies, very expert they are, Indian ladies. Very expert in making makeup. I don’t know how they have, I’m always looking at their eyes. When they don’t look somewhere, then I look there. How it’s perfectly colored, exactly. Not one more color and not one less. So one day I took the black paste from my chimney. So, in one thing I can tell you, the women are 150% perfect. That’s okay. It’s not bad. Why not? We all want to look good. So, but this is outer things. Our Holī Gurujī said, Akhāṛā. It is an Akhāṛā, meaning this is not real. The artificial gold is more shining, but that will not shine too long. So, the second thing is, now you are, we are all. Looking into the advertising on television, Facebook, and so on. And where there is advertising, it is commercial. And the commercial has not so much quality. Swamiji had breakfast with us this morning, and he got a nice vegetable and chapati again. He said, "Now I have prāṇa in my body again, because what he ate on the aeroplane on the way, and butter and breads, that bread has no prāṇa." But, of course, our Avatārpuri loves that. And he will go in the kitchen and tell, "Do not put this on my table, on my plate, but you give it to Swāmījī." It’s okay. He’s a little child. He will know after 40-50 years, then he will say, "Oh God, my junk food made me junk." And so the children are all here in that. I ask you again, please learn cooking. Just put it in the hot, boiling water, take it out, add salt, and eat. This is not cooking. So they all throw away all these bushes in India. And in many other countries, they are putting in some other different kinds of plants, so they are not useful at all, except if they give a little shade or are evergreen. Now, when we look at the research by the Āyurvedas about this bamboo tree, if you go to Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, the young boys, they want to earn a little money, so they cut little branches of this tree and, 15 cm long, they make pieces of this. Branches, and they go from house to house. They call, "Tooth brush," and people are waiting for that. They take this stick of the bamboo, they bite slowly, slowly, and they brush the tooth. Yes, and they don’t have this problem. Most, we can say though Europeans have good technology, good paste, brush this, that, but still, European teeth have more problems than the farmers in India, or in other countries, or what we call the different countries. Because they are using natural. And now, today, yesterday we looked and we read about it. I thought it was only for our cooking. And then our dear Amrit from Hamburg. She is a doctor, and she knows everything about this pharmacy. She read how much benefit these bābūl fruits have for our body. Eighty percent of diseases in women can be cured through only this babul. But it’s not for two or three days, yes? You have to continuously drink this water. You take a few pieces from the fruit of the babul and boil them in a little water, and then you drink the water. Every day, three times a day, you can prepare one liter of water and then keep it in your water bottle. But not drinking all the time. Make it three times a day. Night, going to sleep at that time. Morning, before your coffee, tea, chai, etc., make a 15-minute difference. And before your dinner or lunch, half an hour before, you drink this. It’s for men and for women; it’s a very, very healthy dish. So, how was she read? And then I asked this morning to our dear Rādhā. And her eyeballs went up, like this. Why didn’t you tell me before? She was thinking mentally. She didn’t tell me aloud. So it means that it is such a good thing. So this is the same, the same cast of these trees is called, here it is called, what they call, Acacia. But this Akhāṛā is a little different. So horse and donkey are different. It looks similar. It has four legs, everything. But it is different. The German shepherd is different. Then what? In Romania, running dogs are free. But the dogs are all very good, very beautiful. They also need love. But in certain things, the shepherd can do what others cannot do. And what the Hungarian shepherd’s guard dog can do, the shepherds cannot do. So every tree has different qualities, some are different. And definitely, one hundred percent, in European science and everywhere, it has been tested about every plant and tree, etc. Definitely. It has what they call the Latin language. And India has the Sanskrit language. But Khar, there is a Sanskrit word, there is a Khar. And Khar means all, like horses, donkeys, etc. These are like four-legged horses. But as I said, there are many different kinds of horses. So similarly, these trees and where these trees are growing, in that circumstance, in that environment, that is very important. In Rajasthan, it hardly rains five or twenty times. In our Jadan, there is nearly two meters of deep water. And soil is about 40 centimeters in Jadan, maximum. And everything is dry, but these trees are surviving. And when it’s very hot, they become very green. So that is the quality of the medicine or its effect on our body. Just sit under this tree for half an hour. You will see how good you feel. And there is another tree, that’s called Imlī. Lie down in the shadow for one hour, and you will get up with a fever. Yes, so the effect is there. Therefore, now it is safe. We throw the banana, and we are eating the banana skin. And God said, "Oh human, you are stupid." The best essence of the banana is that I am eating. When I come to the Jadan, I don’t go to the kitchen often. In three weeks I am there, maybe two or three times I am looking in the kitchen side. And I am so sad, so angry, and because good things, they throw it. And on the inside, what is it they are eating, this little? But people don’t want to eat. I think it was one and a half months ago, or two months ago. And one of our very nice disciples, she is from England. And she and her husband said, "We are getting the best of the best corn chapatis made from the wheat." And it is an old wheat, old qualities. Now they again bring Europe back, and it is so healthy. Olyan egészséges. Expensive. De drága. But they go to a particular bakery to get that kind of bread. I said, then please you should bring me some seed that I will put in Jadan. So I took one kilo, and proudly I brought to Europe the best seeds. And proudly, I brought to Europe the best seeds in Jadan. And Purījī said, "We have about five tons like this." All my followers, but the people don’t eat that. They want to have white meals, but the people who are aware about this, so-called some officers, they know, and they tell me, "Please, Swāmījī, 50 kilos or 100 kilos from your protection, save for me. I will get this." So I say, "No problem, I will send it to you or send your car." But he said, "If you don’t take money, I will not take your seeds, because I want to just give it free." And I said, "No, no..." This is an ashram, that we don’t want. So people have feelings; there are not all corruptions, you know. So there are some for corruption, but it is, let’s say, 80% or 75% are the best people. 25% may be a corruption, but it’s not like that. And in Europe also, very good people, there is nothing like that. But we are blind. We don’t know how to eat or what to eat. We know how to eat, and we like to eat. But you don’t know how to cook. Very soon, people will catch some animal and eat it just like that. Even they can’t cook the meat. So they will, from their goat, they will bite this evening here, husband and wife, and tomorrow from this side. So please learn cooking, learn cooking, and learn which kind of spices you should add. Okay, chili, you don’t eat chili, no problem. But in Europe, they also have a lot of spices. Very nice. And in certain cakes and in certain things, you know what to put inside. In a good cake, you cannot put haldi and chili. Then it becomes the Indian’s Google Sliver, anyhow. So please, I am telling you, learn cooking. Take vegetables, and you should know how to cook the carrot. And how to cook the pumpkin, and how to cook the pangaṇ. The, what you call, the eggplants. And you should know how to cook the spinach. And how to cook the potatoes. So don’t compare potato cooking techniques and carrot cooking techniques. And which spices? That’s why my sorrow is about you, that you lost cooking knowledge. Now, who would like to cook? Learn cooking, hands up. Who wants to learn? Hands up. Don’t be afraid. If not, then leave it now. So it means, for those who did not raise their hand, it feels like a shame. Yeah, that’s it. And those who raised their hands up, now I know so many cannot cook. That’s it. So we will do the next course. And that is, only those who will honestly and seriously come, you have to bring your gas cooker, cooking pots, spoons, knife, plates, etc. Vegetables and spices we will provide. And we will have one weekend only for cooking. So everybody will sit in one line. Everybody has about five square meters of space. And we will have a big screen like this, and someone from India will bring who can, which spices where to put? Yes, really. It’s not a joke, and it will be great, great things. You will enjoy eating. Of course, when you eat only potatoes and potatoes and you don’t eat the spinach, you will say, "This is spinach." The potato has its place, and spinach has its place. So, look in your Google: what is the good of the potatoes? Yes, please. And what is good in the spinach? What is good in carrot and in eggplant, especially the eggplant skin? You know, there was a long time, and maybe even still now, it was called the macrobiotic diet. This eggplant. And with that, they were brushing their teeth. And they got rid of this, the barriers of disease. So everything is there. It was very good. So, there are many, many, many ways to cook: good ways, the European way, the Indian way, the Chinese way, the Japanese way, etc. America is European, but everything is mixed now. But I can tell the Japanese, Chinese, Europeans, Middle East, and India, Africa. And they have a very good way of cooking, which is good. So please give up the junk food. Don’t buy anything, don’t go to eat in the restaurants, cook at home, and you will be very healthy. And give the habit of eating with your child until five years; then after, they will not eat anything else. And once when one doesn’t eat, they’re okay. If someone doesn’t eat once a day, in the morning you will eat again the same food. Say, no, I don’t want this. Okay, no problem. At lunchtime, when I’m hungry, I will eat. So, you are gone, more or less, but save your children, that they may be happy. They will remain healthy. I can tell you, one thousand percent, from myself. This meat is not healthy, and it is also sinful. And we are telling Jesus, "We will take our sin away." But you know, how long will Jesus clean our sins? Jesus has no such big laundry that He cleans our sins. So I ask you to live healthy, eat healthy, and practice yoga. És főzni. And if you can’t cook, fast until I come back. Okay, so spices you should read. There are vegetarian books, and they also ask which spices you should add, yes. It’s not only a test, but it is for health. They know which is going with which. Otherwise, you cook nice spinach, and then you put on the slug-overs. Slug on it. Milk slug. So on these spinneys, you serve the slug. That’s it.
