Introduction:
Start consuming raw food
My very dear respected Reader,
I can very well see that today you are very much confused, perturbed,
disappointed and disgusted with the challenges of life you are
confronted with. Let me tell you a way out with all the emphasis at my
command.
Start from today, consuming
natural food in its natural form as gifted by God without putting it
on fire, roasting it or processing it in any other manner.
All
other so-called food cooked or processed are to be negated and
kept away from the system-such as salt, refined sugar, condiments,
concentrated fats of all kinds, milk and milk products, butter, bread,
cake, pastry, biscuits, prepared sweets and salted materials of
several varieties, tea, coffee, coco, ice-cream, cold drinks, meat,
eggs, all types of intoxicants such as wine and beers, tinned fruits,
tinned fruit juices and innumerable other food concoctions available
in the market, synthetic vitamins, medicines of all descriptions.
I can assure you, thus done, all your troubles will appear like a bad
dream. A new era will dawn in your life, which you had never imagined
before. You will evolve, sublimate yourself and your life will
become like a flower in Full Bloom-which attracts from a distance,
every passerby, with its daintiest hues and embalms the air that
touches it with its exquisite fragrance. This, very simple and
practicable formulae, without the least hazard, has immense potential
which you will only realize when you practice it; with full
conviction, determination and steadfastness. By following this way of
life you will be laying the strongest and the most unshakable
foundation for the possession of superb health which is the one and
the only source of un-bounded happiness we all seek with extreme
earnestness, from the day we ushered in this world.
You must realize, understand and be convinced without shadow of doubt
or any kind of reservation that you are what you eat. 'Right
food is the greatest single factor for the promotion of health and
wrong food is the greatest single factor for the promotion of
disease.' If, therefore, you want to [possess superb health
with a sound mind; a symmetrical, muscular and well formed body; face
glowing with dazzling luster and with an ever present bewitching
smile on the lips; health which knows know decay with ever shining and
bubbling youth full of vim, vigor and vitality; a life free from any
kind of sickness, disease or ailment and for the maintenance,
preservation and restoration of health when impaired, there is one and
only one answer- the consumption of right food.
Everything
made by God is perfect
To determine in reality and in all truthfulness as to what is
the right food for those of us who believe in God and attribute to him
so many qualities that" He is omnipresent, omnipotent, all
pervading and all knowledgeable" is very easy and simple indeed.
It does not need any argument or an elaborate discussion. If we only
view with a microscopic vision, the entire phenomenon all around us
and try to know how it functions; it becomes self evident, self-proven
and crystal clear as to what is the right food for consumption.
If
we see things critically, we have to admit that this world where we
live, is not a chaos, but a cosmos. It is well arranged, well managed
and well controlled entity. Everything in this world works with
precision, exactness and conforms to eternal laws which are
unchangeable, immutable and inviolable. Nothing in this world is
haphazard. This is also consistent with the innumerable declaration
made in our sacred scriptures that God almighty, the pure
consciousness permeates every atom of this vast Universe and the same
power resides in the human frame and makes it function. Anything
we pick up in this Universe, a flower, a fruit, a nut, vegetable or
cereal, it is perfect; flawless in all respects and baffles our
imagination. All that God has created by his unfailing wisdom, being
perfect all around, doesn't need and change at our hands to make it
more perfect. If, therefore, we consume vegetables with fire
and nuts by bringing them into contact with fire, we are challenging
the wisdom of God by asserting that whatever he has created is not
perfect and we can make it more perfect. this action on our part will
belie out faith in God to whom we attribute the qualities of all
knowledge and all perfection.
Visualize a tree 30 feet high. At the highest point a delicate leaf a
flower a flower or a fruit springs up from a branch and gets its
proper nourishment for its development, that comes up from much below
the earth and reaches the topmost point overcoming gravitational pull.
A tiny little seed, put into the soil, properly watered and manured,
sprouts, grows, after breaking the sods of earth, raised its head
above the ground and in course of time develops into a big tree and
continuously gives flowers and fruits in the proper seasons.
Human body is another marvel, the Nature's highest creation. It is
superbly a perfect Mechanism. It functions automatically, repairs
itself automatically and does not require any outside aid for its
proper functioning. It only requires that its working should not be
hampered or interfered with by any kind of violence on its delicate
mechanism. Its functioning an be maintained at the optimum level if
its essential needs are well provided. The essential needs primarily
consists of pure air, pure water, sunshine, rest, sleep, relaxation,
exercise, happy environment and wholesome natural food in its natural
form as gifted by God without putting it on fire.
It is therefore, very clear that God who created such a wonderful
universe did not forget how its creation will grow, sustain and
maintain itself. Therefore, simultaneously with the creation of this
vast universe, he created everything in abundance and in in-numerable
varieties such as fruits, vegetables, cereals and nuts. If we believe
in is infallibility, these does not require any change at our hands
and are to be considered as the right foods, and must be consumed in
their original form for the achievement of perfect and unfailing
health. Such a thing is being practice by the entire creation
except the ignorant and misguided man.
We should also not shut our eyes to the horrible conditions prevalent
in the world today as a consequence of not consuming the right food.
To find a health man today is a rare commodity. Sickness and disease
are rampant with full fury. People are living with pain, agony and
affliction. We are only existing and not living a vigorous life. Men,
women and children are seen with unsymmetrical bodies, sunken eyes and
cheeks and with gloomy looks. Mental imbalance has reached its lowest
level, because of which we witness the naked dance of perverted human
intelligence everyday-murders of innocent men, women and children,
robberies, dacoities, exploitation of the highest order, egoism,
selfishness and self aggrandizement.
The detailed reason
Apart from the above elaborate exposition made above in establishing
the fact what is the right food for consumption there is another
aspect as explained below which will confirm the above mentioned
assertion.
Fire burns, incinerates, destroys and reduces everything in to ash and
nothingness. This knowledge is with us from the day we came on
this earth, because of which everyone save himself from fire and never
puts his hands into it voluntarily, knowing fully well that it will
burn and will have to be amputated to save the other organs of the
body. But when vegetables and other food stuff are put on fire, this
knowledge in put into cold storage. With the use of fire the food
becomes dead, devitalized and demineralised, with all vitamins,
enzymes and trace elements destroyed, with fire the composition of
different elements in any food stuff as changed and it becomes
detrimental for the human system. Such foods when consumed become a
burden to the human organism and incapable of sustaining the system or
providing the proper raw material for the manufacture of health cells
to replace those which die out in the course of exertion and are
replaced by the vital power inside. Such burnt out material neither
acts as the proper fuel for the functioning of the organism nor is the
suitable raw material for the manufacture of health cells which can
stand strains and maintain the body. It should also be taken note of
that not a single scientist has so far written any thesis to
demonstrate that when fruits, vegetables and other food stuffs come
into contact with fire their nutritive value is enhanced. All
scientist declared unequivocally that anything that comes in contact
with the fire is reduced to ash and nothingness. In the face of this
obvious phenomenon this will be the height of foolishness and
ignorance to consume any kind of cooked or processed food for the
achievement of sound health.
Human body is composed of trillions of cells. Every moment cells of
the body die out due to exertion and those are immediately replaced by
the new manufactured cells. Healthy cells when analyzed consist of
several elements brought together in a certain proportion. Unless,
therefore, those very elements that constitute the healthy cells are
supplied to the system the end product. The newly manufactured cells
will not conform to the proper specifications ordained by God and such
cell instead of helping the system to function properly will endanger
its working, thereby making the body weak, sick and diseased. Proper
raw material for the manufacture of healthy cells and the fuel for the
efficient functioning of the organs can only be made available to the
body the consumption of frits, vegetables, sprouted cereals and nuts
in their natural form, without having been subjected to fire.
My
own experience
I am running in my
90th year. The above mentioned revelations and understanding come to
me at the age of 71 when I become old and a crippled person. I
suffered from a severe form of arthritis unable to move, even to climb
a staircase. I became lazy, lethargic with no urge to work. Weakness
descended upon me to such an extent that I began to feel uneasy even
when carrying a bag containing a small quantity of vegetable in Delhi,
after continued struggle for more than 2 years could not restore my
health. Having become disappointed I earnestly began to invite death
for ending my miserable existence.
Throughout my life except taking simple cooked food, milk and milk
products I had never indulged in any malpractice that could endanger
health. I have also been regularly practicing yogasanas (yogic
exercises) since 1924. In spite of this simple living I fell victim to
complete derangement in my health which I now attribute to the
consumption of cooked food, which failed to supply the essential needs
of the body. At this stage quite accidentally a very strong worded
pamphlet advocating the consumption of raw food and condemning very
forcefully the consumption of cooked foods, any kind of drugs, fell
into my hands. I read it several times, became convinced and decided
with determination to immediately switch on to complete natural
uncooked food.
It
was a hard decision to shake off with a strong jerk the addiction to
cooked food of over 71 years. I, however, pursued my resolution with
strong determination and met with unexpected and phenomenal success.
The health effects of changeover began to show very early and within
six months I was relieved from all my troubles and weakness. I
generally avoided break-fast and used to take only two meals-one at
noon time and one in the evening. My luncheon consisted of green salads
made up of leafy vegetables, cucumber, carrot etc, sprouted cereals,
sprouted ground nut and sesame seeds, green coconut, dates and other
nuts. Evening meal consisted of only seasonal fruits one or two varieties
only. This simple regimen worked wonders and I grew from strength to
strength. There had been lapse occasionally but those had been far and
few. At the age of 90, although I do not claim to be a perfectly
healthy man but I do claim that I enjoy health which will be the enemy
of many. I do not suffer from any kind of acute, chronic or
degenerative disease. My blood pressure and pulse are normal. All my
teeth except two front teeth which I lost due to a fall in a bathroom
are intact and strong. My eyesight ha improved and there is no
cataract formation . I drive myself without specs for hundred miles
without the least discomfort and with perfect ease. I generally work
for minimum of 14 hours a day. I sometime use a typewriter and type
for a continuous period of 8 to 10 hours without fatigue. My memory is
sharp, my brain is alert and I possess a thunderous voice. I can
continue to speak for two to three hours without the least exhaustion.
Every morning I practice yog asanas and pranayam for one hour regularly
without a break. In fact I have not yet felt the impact of age and
have embarked on a big program of building a 100 bed hospital where
the patients will be relieved from the their long standing
ailments by following the principles of Natural Hygiene. I have been
managing the hospital which is named Daulat Ram Nature Cure Center 16/
849, Joshi Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi, India for the last 6 years.
