Yogic Treatments and Natural Remedies

About the Book In Yogic Treatments and Natural Remedies, Shri Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar explains the origins of a large number of diseases and sets out the remedies for them. The remedies coordinate yogic asanas and madras with specific diet and herbal preparations. The reader gains a new understanding of, and a new sense of control over, his or her own bodily processes.

In his Preface, the author expresses his desire to bring yogic medicine to the general public. "My purpose is to let people cure themselves ..."

Preface The object of the art of healing is to cure a patient, both physically and mentally. So the main question is not to uphold any particular school of medical science; rather, the key task is the welfare of the patient.

Just as diseased body organs can be restored to normal by administering medicines internally or externally, they can also be healed, more safely and more perfectly, with the help. of Yogic Asana and Madre’s. The aim of this book, therefore, is to make the general public aware of the Yogic methods of treating the various illnesses.

My purpose is to let people cure themselves by practicing the Asana. and Madre’s described in this book. . People are requested not to take the risk of practicing Asana and Mudras by themselves, but rather to do so under the guidance of an experienced Acarya (spiritual teacher). Ananda Marga Acaryas will always be ready to help without any remuneration. Detailed instructions for practicing the Asana and Mudras, for bathing. etc., have been given in Part Three of Ananda Marga Caryacarya (Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, Caryacarya Part III [Anandanagar: Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, 1979]).If necessary. the reader may consult that book.

Along with the Asana and Mudras. a list of some free or inexpensive and easily-available. but proven and useful, medicinal remedies, as well as the methods of their application. has been. given in this book. The public can. make use of these applications by themselves. or. if needed. may consult experienced Acaryas in this respect also.

Due to limitations of time, it is not possible for me to enter into personal correspondence with anybody. Any person having questions regarding the Asana and Mudras and their performance, or the medicines and their applications, may contact their respective Acarya, or may get in touch with the secretary of their local village or district committee or of the Central Committee of Ananda Marga. So much for now.
