"Mamas" are the energetic cross-roads of the body, junction points between matter and consciousness.

Stop the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive Petition

Online Petition: We call on the European Commission to stop the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD), Directive 2004/24/EC, which is set to remove access to the vast majority of...

Everyone has the right to choose a natural medicine if they prefer, and that also means they should be easy to obtain and reasonably priced. Natural medicine is still used by 85% of the worlds population, staggering isn't it! Which means modern medicines account for a tiny proportion of overall usage worldwide. So you have too say to yourself, if the Pharmaceuticals companies are this powerful and influential now, do you really want them to take a bigger share and say in how you live your life. Because this regulation isn't just about protecting your health and safety, and protecting plants in the wild, which is very important; it's about restrictions, control and money. And the big boys out there want to get their hands on more of that share. As a final thought over a third of people in hospital today in the UK are there as a result of taking Allopathic medicines!

Sayings of Guru Dev Shankaracharya Swami Brahmanand Saraswati

To get a human body is a rare thing thing. Make use of it. There are four million kinds of lives a soul can gather. After that one gets a chance to be human, to get a human body. Therefore, one should not waste this chance. Every second in human life is very valuable. If you don't value this, then you will have nothing in hand and you will weep in the end. Because you are human, God has given you the power to think and decide what is good and bad. Therefore you can do the best possible action.

You should never consider yourself weak or a fallen creature. Whatever may have happened up to now may be because you didn't know, but now be careful. After getting a human body if you don't find God, then you have sold a diamond for the price of spinach.

Sayings from Guru Dev

I have stepped down from the Himalyas and therefore I perhaps deserve a Himalayan welcome. That welcome you can give me by giving your most valuable possession; What is your most valuable possession? Welcome me with that. My experience is that human beings value their vices above everything else. They are not prepared to part with them at any cost. Expense one does not consider. One is even prepared to suffer insult and injury for the satisfaction of one's most prized vice. So make offerings of those vices to me. That is my service. That is my worship. That offering I willingly accept.

In Kapur there is a custom to make offerings in bags. But I am not one to be satisfied with offerings of rupees and pasisas which are like dust and pebbles. Offer me bagfuls of your vices.
