古儒吉談到食物和艾育吠陀的提示

How many of you have body pains since early in the morning, raise your hand? (There was about 25% of the crowd raising their hands)
你們當中多少人從一早起來就感到身體疼痛，舉起你的手？  (約有25%的人舉手)

You know why? We eat the crops that are cultivated by using chemical fertilizers. This causes a lot of diseases in our body. Do you understand? We don’t detoxify the body. To get good yield we use artificial chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Because of these fertilizers, soil turns toxic and he produce from the soil in turn becomes toxic and our body gets toxic substances as we eat them, which cause disease and pain.
您知道為什麼嗎？我們吃使用化肥耕種的作物。這引起我們的身體裡的許多疾病。你瞭解嗎？我們沒有給身體解毒。為了得到好產量，我們使用人造化肥和殺蟲劑。  因為這些肥料，土壤轉為有毒，作物產自土壤中也變得有毒，我們吃這些作物，讓我們的身體得有毒物質，導致疾病和痛苦。

How many have hip, joint, back pains and different kinds of headaches. I don’t want you to tell me the number of headaches that you have at home!!! If we have to get rid of all these pains and diseases, we have to go back to our traditional method of farming. We have to do natural farming, Zero budget farming low-cost, more yield, better health. So we have to take this as a revolution to the farmers.
多少髖關節，關節點，背痛和不同種類的頭痛。我不想要你告訴我，你在家有多少次的頭痛﹗如果我們必須擺脫所有這些痛苦和疾病，我們必須回到傳統的方法種田。我們必須從事自然的耕作，零預算耕作低成本，產量更多，身體較為健康。 因此我們必須採取此作為，當作針對農夫的革命

You know the white sugar is termed as white poison in western countries. As it covers the knobs of the intestine and stops the nutrients from being absorbed by the body. The children who consume a lot of sugar are mostly lean because of lack of nutrition. If you stop giving them sugar, they will start getting healthier. We eat a lot of sugar and reduce our body growth as well. So instead if white sugar you should start consuming cane sugar, which is in turn good for the body. It helps the liver as it has minerals. We have to know how to eat tell not how to eat more.
您知道白糖在西方國家被稱為白色的毒物。因為它蓋住腸道的皺褶並且阻止營養素被身體吸收。吃許多糖的孩子們因為缺乏營養而很清瘦。如果你停止給他們糖，他們將變得更健康。我們吃許多糖同時也降低了我們的身體成長。所以如果你開始把白糖改為蔗糖，是轉為對身體有益的。因為它有礦物質，會幫助肝臟。   我們必須知道怎樣吃，而不告訴你怎樣吃得更多。

Similarly we need to learn breathing practices to keep our body healthy and earn meditation to get peace of mind and these things are very much essential for life. We should have knowledge and awareness on meditation, breathing practices and food.
同樣地， 我們需要做呼吸練習保持我們身體健康,靜心帶來心靈的平靜,而這些事情對我們的生命是非常重要的。我們必需有知識並在靜坐,呼吸練習和食物中覺知。

Now let us switch on to cane sugar. The only difference that you may notice is that gulab jamuns would look much darker and jalebis would be of a different colour!!! It does not matter.
現在我們換成蔗糖。 你可能注意到的唯一的差別是gulab jamuns 將看起來黑得多，jalebis 有一種不同的顏色﹗那是沒關係的。

In India , what ever we prepare we add turmeric in it. You know why? Because of its anti-oxidant properties and it has medicinal value. In 1980, we called upon scientists for a conference in Delhi . When asked about the use of turmeric, they said it is just a colour pigment without any value. Today, the foreigners may turmeric is an antioxidant and it can give immunization against Cancer and let we do not understand its real value.
在印度，任何東西我們都準備把薑黃加在裡面。你知道為什麼嗎？因為它有抗氧化劑的特性和有藥用的價值。在1980年，我們在德里的一次會議邀請科學家。當詢問有關薑黃使用時，他們說這只是一種顏料沒有任何價值。今天，那些外國人認為薑黃是一種抗氧化劑，能預防癌症和提高免疫力,且讓我們不理解它的真正的價值。

In Tamilnadu we add turmeric in the pickles, especially the lemon pickles. Turmeric means Goddess Devi. She is incarnation of lemon, turmeric, and neem. All the three plants are considered sacred in our country and they all give good energy to our body. If we grow lemon and tulsi in each and every house we can have good health in our country.

在Tamilnadu裡我們把薑黃加進醃汁，特別檸檬醃汁。薑黃意指Devi女神。她是檸檬，薑黃和楝樹的化身。這3種植物在我們國家被認為是神聖的，他們都把好能量提供給我們的身體。在我國如果我們在每幢房子種檸檬和tulsi，我們能擁有健康。

You know in our country there is a shortfall in the production of pulses. We are importing nearly 40% of the pulses and if this continues we will not have sufficient food In the future. So we have to plant pulses in our home garden and our women can do it.
您知道在我國pulses(豆類)的生產會產生赤字。我們幾乎進口將近40%的pulses，如果繼續這樣下去，我們將來沒足夠的食物可以吃。如此一來,我們的婦女必須的庭院裡種植pulses。

My Grandmother was in Papanasam even at the age of 92 years she used to do things for herself and she had a good system of eating. Like, eating “Agathi Keerai” , on every “Dwadesi” day ( The day after ekadesi Fasting) and she used to take two kinds of vegetables . She had laid rules for herself and hence had a lot of energy. In the next generation the energy level came down and now in our generation it is getting lower.

我的祖母以前住在Papanasam甚至在92歲時,她常常為她自己做東西，她有一個飲食的良好系統。像“Agathi Keerai”，在“Dwadesi”的日子吃(這天是在ekadesi戒齋之後)她習慣用兩種蔬菜。她已經為她自己訂出規則並且因此獲得許多能量。在下一代,能量水平點變低,且現在在我們這一代人裡變得更低。

One more interesting thing you know our “Idly” is considered to be the most nutritious food in the World. Because it contains carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, fats, amino acids and fibre.Every one should consume ghee. Ghee helps the body to absorb nutrients. If I start talking on food I can go on for hours together. “Idly” is said to be the complete food it is a happy thing to know don’t you think so.
您知道的一件更有趣的事,我們的”Idly”被認為在世界上最營養的食物。 由於它包含碳水化合物、蛋白質、酵素、脂肪、氨基酸和纖維。每一樣都應該被Ghee (酥油)給消耗。Ghee(酥油)幫助身體吸收營養素。如果我開始談到食物我可以持續談好幾個小時。你這樣想好了,”Idly”被稱為完整的食物,是件快樂的事。
