Diwali – or deepawali – also known as the “festival of lights” is primarily known as a “Hindu Festival” where the practice of lighting countless(!) lamps in the night symbolizes “victory of light over darkness”… Wonderful as this characterization may be, it also erases the historical and cultural significance and normalizes it so that heads-of-state can send out banal wishes without risking being politically incorrect! It’s good to be reminded of what diwali really celebrates…
This 5 day festival that is observed 20 days after Navaratri – the 9 nights of Shakti culminating in the 10th day of victory or Vijayadashmi – is really the celebration of the return of Sri Raam, his consort, Sita, and brother Lakshman, along with Hanuman, back to Ayodhya after a period of 14 years spent in exile. When the party flew back home on the “pushpaka vimaan” – the “airplane” that belonged to Raavan’s brother, Kuber, the whole city of Ayodhya was lit with oil lamps to welcome their awaited king and queen and team back from their tribulations.
The victory celebrates not only the return of Sri Raam to his rightful throne, but inaugurates a period of great dharmic righteous living, since Sri Raam had spent 14 years battling and vanquishing asuras and demons and restoring peace and balance on earth for all! In particular, he had vanquished the most powerful of them all, the 10-headed ruler of the 3 worlds, Raavan. This victory is commemorated as dussehra – that is: “killer of the 10 heads.” With his return to Ayodhya, Sri Raam re-established the rule of dharma as narrated in Valmiki’s Ramayana.
The Ramayana is the timeless story of not just those born on the Indian subcontinent… it is the story of ALL of us, humans, who have to learn to keep our dharma, our path in life, even when it is hard, and to learn to trust the invisible creative powers so that we can live up to our destiny, no matter how hard it may be… Lord Raam, Sita Mayya, and Laxman, along with Hanuman, are the divine ancestors of the entire human race, before country border lines were drawn based on political and religious ideologies…
While it can be interpreted in so many ways, the story of Sri Raam is the story of sticking to one’s dharma first and foremost. Dharma does not mean you will live in comfort and happiness following your desires! It means you will do what you know is meant for you to do as your duty as part of this great cosmic reality – whether it’s what YOU had planned for your life or not… Sri Raam went into the forest, exiled, even though his coronation was meant for that exact same morning. He was stripped of his royal garb and title, and yet he willingly put on the hermit’s shirt and wondered in the jungles barefoot, as a mere mortal. He upheld his dharma. When we uphold our dharma, then the whole universe conspires to bring us more than what our hearts and minds desire. Vaidya Mishra used to remind us: “when you do what you know is right, you will only desire what you deserve…” How do you know what is right to do? You study the vedic shastras that teach us how to act whilst in this body on earth…
After the battle between good and evil personified by Sri Ram and Ravaan, the story of the churning of the cosmic ocean of milk, the “samudra manthan” puranic story, we also become victorious, and Laxmi appears in our own lives, as well as Dhanvantari, and many other wondrous beings as well.
This diwali, may we all aspire to find and live in accordance with our dharma – no matter how hard the path seems at first. For those of us who are at a loss and do not know how to find their dharma: allow your dharma to find you. Be still – settle your mind and release noisy thoughts, clear your heart of unfulfilled desires – make space for silence, patiently, and you will hear, your dharma beckoning you….
Namaste!

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.
Learn How to Care for the Liver – from the SV Ayurveda Perspective

Teaching from the ancient sutras & the perspective of medical science, he elaborates the functions of the liver and all the etiological factors impacting it. These factors include diet and digestion; AS WELL AS emotions; PLUS environmental toxins; EMFs; and synthetic ingredients in most personal-care products. Vaidya Mishra also teaches us how to keep the liver healthy and manage its disorders through food, herbs, marma therapy, detoxification, rejuvenation procedures, and vibrational medicine, including the use of mantras (primordial sounds with specific known effects).

STOREWIDE 15% OFF DIWALI SALE – FREE GLOBAL SHIPPING ON ORDERS OF $201
Diwali – or deepawali – also known as the “festival of lights” is primarily known as a “Hindu Festival” where the practice of lighting countless(!) lamps in the night symbolizes “victory of light over darkness”… Wonderful as this characterization may be, it also erases the historical and cultural significance and normalizes it so that heads-of-state can send out banal wishes without risking being politically incorrect! It’s good to be reminded of what diwali really celebrates…
This 5 day festival that is observed 20 days after Navaratri – the 9 nights of Shakti culminating in the 10th day of victory or Vijayadashmi – is really the celebration of the return of Sri Raam, his consort, Sita, and brother Lakshman, along with Hanuman, back to Ayodhya after a period of 14 years spent in exile. When the party flew back home on the “pushpaka vimaan” – the “airplane” that belonged to Raavan’s brother, Kuber, the whole city of Ayodhya was lit with oil lamps to welcome their awaited king and queen and team back from their tribulations.
The victory celebrates not only the return of Sri Raam to his rightful throne, but inaugurates a period of great dharmic righteous living, since Sri Raam had spent 14 years battling and vanquishing asuras and demons and restoring peace and balance on earth for all! In particular, he had vanquished the most powerful of them all, the 10-headed ruler of the 3 worlds, Raavan. This victory is commemorated as dussehra – that is: “killer of the 10 heads.” With his return to Ayodhya, Sri Raam re-established the rule of dharma as narrated in Valmiki’s Ramayana.
The Ramayana is the timeless story of not just those born on the Indian subcontinent… it is the story of ALL of us, humans, who have to learn to keep our dharma, our path in life, even when it is hard, and to learn to trust the invisible creative powers so that we can live up to our destiny, no matter how hard it may be… Lord Raam, Sita Mayya, and Laxman, along with Hanuman, are the divine ancestors of the entire human race, before country border lines were drawn based on political and religious ideologies…
While it can be interpreted in so many ways, the story of Sri Raam is the story of sticking to one’s dharma first and foremost. Dharma does not mean you will live in comfort and happiness following your desires! It means you will do what you know is meant for you to do as your duty as part of this great cosmic reality – whether it’s what YOU had planned for your life or not… Sri Raam went into the forest, exiled, even though his coronation was meant for that exact same morning. He was stripped of his royal garb and title, and yet he willingly put on the hermit’s shirt and wondered in the jungles barefoot, as a mere mortal. He upheld his dharma. When we uphold our dharma, then the whole universe conspires to bring us more than what our hearts and minds desire. Vaidya Mishra used to remind us: “when you do what you know is right, you will only desire what you deserve…” How do you know what is right to do? You study the vedic shastras that teach us how to act whilst in this body on earth…
After the battle between good and evil personified by Sri Ram and Ravaan, the story of the churning of the cosmic ocean of milk, the “samudra manthan” puranic story, we also become victorious, and Laxmi appears in our own lives, as well as Dhanvantari, and many other wondrous beings as well.
This diwali, may we all aspire to find and live in accordance with our dharma – no matter how hard the path seems at first. For those of us who are at a loss and do not know how to find their dharma: allow your dharma to find you. Be still – settle your mind and release noisy thoughts, clear your heart of unfulfilled desires – make space for silence, patiently, and you will hear, your dharma beckoning you….
Namaste!

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.
Learn How to Care for the Liver – from the SV Ayurveda Perspective
In this online course you will find 12 ½ hours of in-depth SV Ayurveda knowledge on how to care for the liver. Taught live at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam (Saylorsburg, PA), Vaidya Mishra takes us on a journey inside the yakrit (liver) – the body’s dynamic powerhouse. Teaching from the ancient sutras & the perspective of medical science, he elaborates the functions of the liver and all the etiological factors impacting it. These factors include diet and digestion; AS WELL AS emotions; PLUS environmental toxins; EMFs; and synthetic ingredients in most personal-care products. Vaidya Mishra also teaches us how to keep the liver healthy and manage its disorders through food, herbs, marma therapy, detoxification, rejuvenation procedures, and vibrational medicine, including the use of mantras (primordial sounds with specific known effects).

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.

STOREWIDE 15% OFF DIWALI SALE – FREE GLOBAL SHIPPING ON ORDERS OF $201
Diwali – or deepawali – also known as the “festival of lights” is primarily known as a “Hindu Festival” where the practice of lighting countless(!) lamps in the night symbolizes “victory of light over darkness”… Wonderful as this characterization may be, it also erases the historical and cultural significance and normalizes it so that heads-of-state can send out banal wishes without risking being politically incorrect! It’s good to be reminded of what diwali really celebrates…
This 5 day festival that is observed 20 days after Navaratri – the 9 nights of Shakti culminating in the 10th day of victory or Vijayadashmi – is really the celebration of the return of Sri Raam, his consort, Sita, and brother Lakshman, along with Hanuman, back to Ayodhya after a period of 14 years spent in exile. When the party flew back home on the “pushpaka vimaan” – the “airplane” that belonged to Raavan’s brother, Kuber, the whole city of Ayodhya was lit with oil lamps to welcome their awaited king and queen and team back from their tribulations.
The victory celebrates not only the return of Sri Raam to his rightful throne, but inaugurates a period of great dharmic righteous living, since Sri Raam had spent 14 years battling and vanquishing asuras and demons and restoring peace and balance on earth for all! In particular, he had vanquished the most powerful of them all, the 10-headed ruler of the 3 worlds, Raavan. This victory is commemorated as dussehra – that is: “killer of the 10 heads.” With his return to Ayodhya, Sri Raam re-established the rule of dharma as narrated in Valmiki’s Ramayana.
The Ramayana is the timeless story of not just those born on the Indian subcontinent… it is the story of ALL of us, humans, who have to learn to keep our dharma, our path in life, even when it is hard, and to learn to trust the invisible creative powers so that we can live up to our destiny, no matter how hard it may be… Lord Raam, Sita Mayya, and Laxman, along with Hanuman, are the divine ancestors of the entire human race, before country border lines were drawn based on political and religious ideologies…
While it can be interpreted in so many ways, the story of Sri Raam is the story of sticking to one’s dharma first and foremost. Dharma does not mean you will live in comfort and happiness following your desires! It means you will do what you know is meant for you to do as your duty as part of this great cosmic reality – whether it’s what YOU had planned for your life or not… Sri Raam went into the forest, exiled, even though his coronation was meant for that exact same morning. He was stripped of his royal garb and title, and yet he willingly put on the hermit’s shirt and wondered in the jungles barefoot, as a mere mortal. He upheld his dharma. When we uphold our dharma, then the whole universe conspires to bring us more than what our hearts and minds desire. Vaidya Mishra used to remind us: “when you do what you know is right, you will only desire what you deserve…” How do you know what is right to do? You study the vedic shastras that teach us how to act whilst in this body on earth…
After the battle between good and evil personified by Sri Ram and Ravaan, the story of the churning of the cosmic ocean of milk, the “samudra manthan” puranic story, we also become victorious, and Laxmi appears in our own lives, as well as Dhanvantari, and many other wondrous beings as well.
This diwali, may we all aspire to find and live in accordance with our dharma – no matter how hard the path seems at first. For those of us who are at a loss and do not know how to find their dharma: allow your dharma to find you. Be still – settle your mind and release noisy thoughts, clear your heart of unfulfilled desires – make space for silence, patiently, and you will hear, your dharma beckoning you….
Namaste!

Are your mornings sluggish and on the low-end? Do you need something to perk you up but dread the side-effects of caffeine? A Sip of Mom’s Chai might just be what you need…Ā
This blend was made to enhance circulation in the physical and vibrational channels, and to supply more oxygenation overall to all organs and organ-systems. This tridoshic chai blend will awaken your physiology from its nocturnal slumber and ready it for the activities of the day ahead –
without wreaking havoc in your body or mind!
Here’s another wonderful detail: if you wish to add black, green, or white tea leaves for a caffeine boost, this blend will give you the benefits but buffer the side-effects of the caffeine in the tea leaves. With its ayurvedic properties, your body will be able to easily and smoothly handle the caffeine without going into a morning shock!Ā
So what exactly are the ayurvedic properties of this blend?
This spice blend, because of its ayurvedic synergistic ratio – how much of each spice with which spice determines how they both work together in harmony – will open the srotas (physical channels) of the stomach, liver, heart, and mind, WITHOUT heating them up;
This tea blend also unclogs the burners of the “dehagni” – cellular metabolism – without aggravating/over-activating them;
Best of all, this tea blend isĀ TRIDOSHIC: suitable for ALL Ayurvedic body types,Ā specially great for high pitta types who need a boost but can’t handle the acidity or caffeine of chai;
The greatest option is you can make it in different strengths to suit your needs: add a little more or less depending on how you are feeling and how much of a “pick-me-up” you need… So what’s in this chai mix?
4 SIMPLE INGREDIENTS and what they do
Nutmeg:Ā pacifies and resets the mind, sharpens it through calming down prana vata, to ready it for the day;
Cinnamon:Ā energizes you by enhancing and supporting sugar metabolism;
Ginger:Ā when ayurvedically prepared, supplies metabolic warmth to burn off ama – toxic build-up – from the night;
Cardamom:Ā awakens the metabolic system, opening and clearing the channels in the nasal and oral cavities.
Try a cup, here’s how you can make it
DIRECTIONS
Add ½ tsp to 10 oz water and bring to a boil. You may add less or more depending on your body type and preferences – remember: itās gentle but strong, discover what works best for you. Alternately you may also add it to a cup of already hot water, cover, and infuse for 8-10 minutes.
Another delicious way of making it is to add ½ tsp to a glass of milk and bring to a boil. It will make the milk more easy to digest and delicious. You may cool it off a bit and add 1 tsp of honey to the milk.
Enjoy!Ā
Don’t Flax It!
Ayurvedic Perspective on Flax Seeds
~ Dr Marianne Teitelbaum
In the Western world, we just look at the nutritional value of the food, and if that is the only parameter we take into account, then sometimes we can get into trouble. This is especially true in the case of flax seeds.
We get caught up in the fact that there are some amazing nutrients within the flax seed, such as omega-3ās which they are very high in. They also contain Vitamin C, iron, Vitamin B1, copper, and molybdenum. They contain one of the highest sources of alpha linoleic acid (ALA). ALA is an essential fatty acid that your body cannot produce.
However, in Ayurveda, we recommend that you NOT consume them. Why would that be, when they sound so nutritious? Itās because we look at what happens after the food comes in.Ā
One of the very important things we look at is the effects on the liver. In this modern era, the liver is under constant assault from the 80,000 toxins we allow in our environment, in the air, food, water and even the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals we all take.Ā
Because of this high volume of toxins, which our ancestors never had to encounter ā the liver is overheating in about 99% of the population. Donāt forget that the liver is the main filter of any toxins that enter the body. Combine this with the fact that most environmental toxins are acidic in nature and thus, create heat. Which means that in time the liver will overheat, unless we know how to detoxify it while at the same time keeping it cool. This is an art we have not as yet perfected here in the west since most herbs which detoxify the liver are very heating: milk thistle, for example, is one of the hottest of all herbs for the liver!
It turns out that all nuts and seeds create some heat as well. This is why it is recommended to soak them in water either overnight or at least an hour or so before you eat them. The soaking will cool them down. Sesame seeds are especially heating so if we encounter a patient whose liver is very hot, creating some autoimmune diseases, cancer, food sensitivities or rashes, then we would tell them to avoid eating sesame seeds until the liver cools down from the herbs, dietary changes and other cooling therapies we would give them.
When it comes to the use of flax seeds, they are more than just heating ā they are extremely heating. My teacher and mentor, Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra used to teach his students by giving them concrete examples which is one of the best ways to teach. He loved telling them his favorite story about flax seeds.Ā
In India where he had a successful Ayurvedic practice in several town, there were poor people who could not afford much food, so many of them would eat flax seeds since they are so cheap and easy to grow.Ā
He would then tell us how consuming the flax seeds would heat both their liver and spleen to the point where it created many health problems in those patients, where he and his father, another famous Vaidya or Doctor of Ayurveda from India, had to help to heal the poor souls from the ravages of the flax seeds they had consumed. He told us that the flax seeds were so heating that it created numerous problems in both the liver and the spleen, which are considered pitta organs, which means they inherently already contain some heat. But the addition of the pungent flax seeds took them over the edge. Both he and his father had to take numerous steps and utilize various treatments to try to get these people back to good health after they consumed flax seeds for so long.
Then when my teacher came to America he encountered people who could actually afford to eat healthy food ā and he was therefore in shock when he encountered many of the āhealth consciousā people who were eating flax seed thinking it was healthy and not realizing the damaging effects it was creating in their liver and spleen.
So the next time you are told to eat flax seeds due to their high omega-3 content, please realize that while they may contain these healthy fats and other nutrients, in the long run they will ātorture your liver,ā as Vaidya used to say. So you might be better off avoiding them and instead choose nuts and sunflower seeds which you should soak in water before eating. And do keep in mind that even if you soak the flax seeds in water they are still not recommended ā even the cooling effect of water isnāt enough to cool them down to the point where they wonāt harm the body.
And donāt worry ā the diet that we give our patients is very high in all the good fats such asĀ Omega 3ās, by including whole milk, dairy products, ghee, olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds. And the daily oil massages we recommend enable every cell on the skin to absorbs the various oils we recommend, taking the omega 3ās and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream from the skin.
I hope this video will help you to understand the value of the energetics of foods and what happens inside our bodies once we swallow them, and not just be led by the nutritional value of the food only.

Shorty but Witty!
The wit of Shaka Vanshyia Ayurveda is timeless and immutable, but time itself mutates… So, we are catching up with the changes and trends which challenge us in these modern times!
To adapt to this day and age when we seem to get frequently immersed in rushed routines and schedules with little time for learning, but when we need more than ever to acquire the knowledge that leads to the health, balance, and bliss that our rushed lifestyles want to take away from us, the SVA Podcast is delighted to announce āSVA Shortsā.
We have begun to produce brief, abridged, episodes for those of you who have little time or are too tired after a long day of work to listen to a full-length format, but donāt give up on the quest for the jewels of ancient ayurvedic knowledge.
The new SVA Short episodes are under 10 minutes in length but, as usual, are packed with deep knowledge and wisdom.
And to inaugurate our new short format, we have a playlist that will rejoice all of you. During the month of November, to learn all about Doshas and Sub-Doshas:Ā Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, plusĀ Soma, Agni, and Marut, we are releasing a Trilogy.
What is Vat? (Friday, November 1st)
What is Pitt? (Friday, November 15th) and
What is Kaph? (Friday, November 29th)
This is the knowledge at the center-most pivotal point of Ayurveda and it is presented to you in a way in which only Vaidya Mishra can explain it; from the origin of Prana and its components Soma, Agni, and Marut.
Have you felt disarmed when listening to an explanation about a particular imbalance because you couldnāt wrap your head around the functions of a Sub-Dosha or felt confused when reading about the healing and balancing properties of our SVA formulations?
Not anymore! Tune up to our November podcastāsĀ ShortyĀ but Witty episodes⦠Weāll see you there!

Healthy Joints
What It Takes: At A Glance….
Life can cause tremendous wear and tear on our joints, specially as we age. Several stress factors (heavy lifting, obesity, improper use of the joints, etc.) can cause not only joint pain but also loss of their proper functioning. Joint pain and impaired mobility can also occur due to toxins in the joints (with or without inflammation) or low bone density from insufficient nutrition or improper metabolism of calcium needed to build and maintain healthy bone tissue.
According to estimates by medical science, 80% of people over the age of 50 experience joint pain. With such a high percentage, we are sure to see clients with painful joints, if not diagnosed joint diseases. SVA practitioners should understand all the etiological factors of joint pain and disorders and know how to repair any damage caused by them. By following tri-sutra Ayurved, we stand more than a fair chance of being successful. However, when these issues progress to vyakti or bhed stages, management becomes highly challenging. So, we will focus our discussion on the earlier stages of imbalances that if left unchecked may lead to named diseases and complications involving the joints.
Because our joints are composed primarily of bone tissue, whatever we do to balance, detoxify, and rejuvenate the bones will also support the joints. But we must take care of other dhatus as well. In particular, the health of the fat tissue must be addressed since the raw material for bone comes from medha dhatu (fat). (See ‘Weight Management and Metabolism’). In fact, we must take care of the entire chain of dhatu transformation, which involves among other considerations the liver and rakta dhatu (blood tissue).
To directly detox and rejuvenate the bones, SVA practitioners sometimes use a special plant called asthi shrinkhala, or bone herb in common language. Asthi means ‘bone’. Shrinkhala means ‘series’. True to name and form, this plant looks like a series of small bones linked together with small ‘joints’ between them. Its main prabhava (specific ultimate effect) is asthiyuk - unifying the bone tissue. Ayurveda has traditionally used this plant for increasing bone mass in osteopenia and osteoporosis and for accelerating the healing and regeneration of bone fractures. It has also been used to mitigate joint pain from over exertion.
SVA Bone Herb comes in three delivery mediums:
1)Bone Herb Powder;
2) Bone Herb Herbal-Memory Nectar in regular and extra strength (HP); and
3) Bone-Herb Transdermal Cream.
The herbal-nectar drop and transdermal cream are generally suitable for everyone. Bone Herb Powder though is pittala. This means it is hot and can increase pitta, and thus may not be appropriate for the high-pitta person. However even here we can use this herb with proper samyog (combination) and samskar (processing).
We also have Shring Bhasma Herbal-Memory Nectar, Boswellia Herbal-Memory Nectar, and Boswellia Powder to support the bones and joints. Shringa Bhasma HMN contains the aforesaid asthishrinkhala. But the main ingredient and main action comes from shring bhasma (deer antler calcined ash), which can help regenerate bone tissue and offset wear and tear on the joints and cartilage. Boswellia serrata (shallaki in Sanskrit) is revered in Ayurveda and by modern medicine for its powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. But the powdered form must be used with caution as high dosages can irritate the GI tract.
We also support asthi by supplying intelligent calcium to the bones and making sure calcium is properly metabolized. Good calcium comes from intelligent food and salt (Soma Salt) and from Soma Cal and Praval Panchamrit. To enhance asthi agni and the metabolism of calcium, we have the different forms of kulthi lentils we learned about. To learn more about calcium supplementation and absorption, watch Dr. Teitelbaum speak on How to Properly Supplement and Absorb Calcium – click on the video below.
Another point of concern is the deadly nightshades. In ‘Nightshades and Why We Should Avoid Them,’ we learned that potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, and eggplants contain solanine, a chemical leading to and aggravating joint pain and inflammation. It’s imperative to educate any client with a joint problem on the dangers of these nightshades. A diet free from nightshades is a boon, specially as we age. And you can replace potatoes with Taro (available in Asian Grocery Stores); replace tomatoes with Sweet Thai Tamarind sauce; eggplants with karela to satisfy that bitter craving; and if you must absolutely MUST have bell peppers: you can cook with them, throw a piece etc in your soup or meal, BUT don’t actually eat them. The peppery aroma will infuse your meal but the skin and pulp are very hard and heavy to digest and clogging. You will still get some of the flavor without the side-effects!
Joint and Bone Health are big important topics. For one-on-one guidance we recommend you call one of our SVA physicians or educators:
Can’t do physical herbs due to an aggravated liver (yakrit)?
Try Vaidya Mishra’s “Herbal-Memory Nectar Drops” – ayurvedic “homeopathic” drops that carry no physical molecules, just the “cellular intelligence” of the plant and herbal synergy. Unique ayurvedic formulas PLUS: zero alcohol unlike most homeopathic formulations.
Add 1-3 drops in 16oz of water and sip slowly throughout the day. You can combine up to 8 different drops in one bottle of water.
Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.
Learn How to Care for the Liver – from the SV Ayurveda Perspective
In this online course you will find 12 ½ hours of in-depth SV Ayurveda knowledge on how to care for the liver.

Teaching from the ancient sutras & the perspective of medical science, he elaborates the functions of the liver and all the etiological factors impacting it. These factors include diet and digestion; AS WELL AS emotions; PLUS environmental toxins; EMFs; and synthetic ingredients in most personal-care products. Vaidya Mishra also teaches us how to keep the liver healthy and manage its disorders through food, herbs, marma therapy, detoxification, rejuvenation procedures, and vibrational medicine, including the use of mantras (primordial sounds with specific known effects).

The ancient Vedic tradition of India has given us Ayurveda, or the knowledge of total health; it has given us Jyotish, or the knowledge of mathematical planetary predictions; it has given us Vastu, or the knowledge of architecture that harmonizes our habitations with the cycles of nature; and still so many other branches of knowledge that unravel and help us make sense of this grand majestic mystical universe we live in.
Amongst these different branches of vedic knowledge is also a very ancient practice that is tied to the shift of the seasons in the year, as well as the subtle vibrational cosmic energies at play in the universe…
This ancient practice revolves around the feminine energy, known as Shakti. Femininity is an expression of the cosmic creative Shakti energy. Shakti is a constitutive part of Nature and our lives – whether we are male or female.
Every year in Autumn, and depending upon the cycles of the lunar calendar, the exploits of Shakti Devi are narrated for 9 days and 9 nights.
It is told that Shakti Devi – the most potent creative dynamic energy in Nature manifests in order to combat a-sura (dis-harmonious) negative entities/energies that attempt to arrest creativity and the flow of life. Shakti Devi, the Cosmic Mother, in her fierce aspect is known as Chandika… She embodies all energies and battles all negativity. She destroys IGNORANCE that causes us to act against the laws of Nature that support life and growth… NOTHING CAN STAND IN HER WAY… She manifests to clear the stage of life from impediments and disruptive entities.
This means she also helps on an individual level: she supplies shakti so each one so we can overcome our failings and personal negativity. On this level, she helps us rid ourselves of ego-tistic thoughts that are limiting and created out of fear, anger, insufficiency. This is why she is often depicted holding a decapitated head dripping with blood that symbolizes our slain ego… In this sense, CHANDIKA IS THE ULTIMATE HEALER since she rids us of our delusions, illusions and confusions! She clears the space so we can think and act in accordance with the wisdom of our souls seated in the heart lotus – as Vaidya Mishra beautiful explained.
These battles with ignorance and darkness, with the a-sura dis-harmonious energies, continue for 9 days and nights. On the 10th day, she is fully victorious. This day is called vijayadashmi. This day is celebrated with great joy and a renewal and reset of energies. It’s a great new beginning in every way…
So this is the story of the cosmic creatrix, Devi, in her aspect as Chandika … as old as time itself…
This Saturday, October 12th, is Vijayadashmi… The Devi’s energy shift back to that of soft sweet opulent loving beauty… It is a great day to start new projects, push the reset button on your life, and give yourself the opportunity you have been waiting for….
At Chandika.com, Vaidya Mishra’s exclusive home of authentic SVA formulations, we celebrate and welcome the energy of the Cosmic Mother. Vaidya Mishra’s products and knowledge help us navigate the vicissitudes of life with strength, clarity of mind and heart, as well as compassion…
Happy Vijayadashmi Day!

to find out the answer to these questions AND MUCH MORE!
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
Sterling Silver Items
for
Puja, Meditation, Health & Happiness for 365 days!
Vaidya Mishra recommended wearing blue lotus bead mala-s or necklaces. Blue lotus beads are highly auspicious for yogic practices. They are full of soma and grounding and calming to the mind. The blue lotus is a saumya plant that helps cool our mind, emotions, blood. In this age of excessive EMF, stress, bad diet, and global catastrophes, having more soma can benefit us. The 54 lotus beads are set in silver. You can recite mantra or just wear them!
A large silver ghee lamp (on the right) that comes with a small jar of ghee and 10 cotton wicks. The light of the ghee lamp is very auspicious. It is also very balancing for alochak pitta: light your lamp and stare at it for as long as you can then close your eyes and lie down and rest….
A 5 stick incense holder with attached silver small silver tray. No yogic practice is perfect without incense. These incense sticks are 100% toxin/chemical free, hand-rolled with real ayurvedic herbs and petals. You will smell the difference!
No puja can be complete without a Kuber Kolam: the mystical mathematical yantra that invites Laxmi Devi’s opulence. Part of the Vastu vedic science, place this yantra in the North East portion of your home, on a small table with a dedicated space. You may keep flowers there as well. And light a ghee lamp once a week on Fridays. It will invite opulence and good fortune.
The Sri Devi Yantra
A yantra is a Vedic geometric design or mystical diagram inscribed on paper, etched in metal, or fashioned three dimensionally. Yantras are often associated with a particular deity (law of nature) and used to enhance meditation; protect from harmful influences; develop particular powers; attract wealth or success, etc.
The Shri Yantra is called the mother of all yantras because all other yantras derive from it. It represents the cosmos at the macrocosmic level and the human body at the microcosmic. This yantra’s nine interlocking triangles centered around the bindu (central point) consists of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti (cosmic female principle) and four upright triangles, representing Shiva (cosmic male principle). The nine interlocking triangles form forty-three small triangles each housing a presiding deity associated with particular aspects of existence.
The Shri Yantra is a tool to give a vision of the totality of existence. Contemplating the Shri Yantra helps us rediscover and experience our divine source.
Now you can wear the Sri Devi Yantra daily! (comes with a 15inch mango orange cotton thread).
