EMF & Soma? plus ROSE MILK BATH – You DESERVE it! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Aug 27, 2020 – #34, Vol 10

August 28, 2020 by Leave a Comment

EMF is hot agneya energy, and it burns up Soma. Soma, as Vaidya Mishra taught, is one of the “tattwa”s or cosmic components that make up Prana. Without Prana there is no life. But did you also know that Prana full of Soma is YOUR SHIELD against EMF? Watch Vaidya Mishra explain it in this 2 minute excerpt from a course. The “Blissful Awakening” Spray he mentions is featured below.

“Blissful Awakening” is a facial mist that not only smells amazing but carries an herbal synergy of the following divine plants: Saffron, Flame of forest, Devil’s apple, Punarnava, Manjishta, Turmeric, Gotu kola, Bacopa moniera, Nutmeg, Mucuna, Green tea, Ashwagandha, Lemon, Indian Sarsaparilla, Ashoka, Shirish Bark, Sensitive Plant, Sandalwood, Rose, and Jasmine with White grapefruit and purified water.
Rose Milk Bath
a Royal Treatment for High Pitta-s & Hot Summers!
~ by Rose Carol ~
847 636 2744
It’s been really hot of late and I was so pitta cranky and I wanted to get a takradhara treatment which is hard to get anywhere these days, so I decided to give myself a taste of my own medicine!  I learned about the Rose Milk bath from my beloved teacher, Vaidya Mishra who not only developed products but shared royal traditional Ayurvedic treatment instructions. Over the years, I have been recommending this bath to clients who want to come for takradhara but I am not offering it now due to covid. I remember one client who received the bath and thereafter reported that she had “a very profound divine experience, as if Mahalaksmi was invoked, very celestial” she said. So I decided to give myself the treatment, I felt I deserved it. The whole thing is like a ritual ablution of your inner goddess (or god!), as one takes a cup and pours it over the the head and body…I felt so good after. The heat from my body warmed up the milk in the tub so a lot of pitta was released during the treatment, and afterwards I felt so cool and calm and composed in body, mind, and heart. But let me tell you the story behind this unique ayurvedic bath.
In the late 1990s I used to be a full-time PanchaKarma technician in Fairfield, Iowa. I had also trained with Vaidya Ramakant Mishra. Vaidya Mishra was an incredibly erudite versatile ayurvedic formulator researcher and healer, who was able to initiate the dialogue between ancient ayurveda and modern science. In addition, Vaidya’s grandfathers and ancestors were physicians to the royalty of India and had developed many special treatments for the queens and the princesses of lore. He shared generously all this knowledge to all who came looking for it. 
One day, I remember Vaidya Mishra was invited to visit the Radiance Dairy in Fairfield Iowa and I was invited to cover that story in the local newspaper. The cows at this dairy farm are beyond pampered! In addition to great care they listen to Vedic recitations 24/7. Vaidya was so thrilled to visit the dairy farm and witness all the love and care showered on the cows. He got very emotional remembering stories from his childhood and the cows he had grown up with in his village. In the vedic tradition, cows are treated literally like family members. Much like pets in modern culture perhaps. They have their own names, are not only taken care of for their basic needs but are pampered and looked in gratitude for all the divine gifts they give us. Vaidya Mishra was offered some of the Radiance Dairy milk and and it made him even more homesick speaking about what a great rasayana milk was. This Royal Milk Bath treatment instruction ensued from that visit, as we kept chatting and I kept asking him questions. It is such a divine protocol, specially for women and specially for the summer time.  I have added one additional step to his instructions which is to use a big cup to pour the rose milk over the head and body into the bath tub to somewhat mimic the takradhara.  
It’s very easy and relaxing to experience. Are you ready? Here are the steps:
Ingredients:
1 Gallon Whole Organic Milk at room temperature. (leave out of refrigerator a few hours or gently heat the milk on the stove.
  • 1 bottle pure rose water
  • a few drops of rose essential oil.
  • Coconut oil or SVA Pitta Massage oil or Garden of Soma Massage oil if you plan to do abhyanga before the bath
  • a cup of fresh rose petals if possible
  • a large cup or pot with a handle on it 
Do your abhyanga and next take a quick shower to rinse off. Then start to fill the tub with luke warm water.  
Sit in the tub and pour the room temperature milk into the cup. Pour the cup of milk slowly over your head and let it run into bath tub. Keep pouring the milk over the chest, the arms, the legs. 
Repeat until the entire gallon of milk is now in the bathtub. Add the cup of rose petals, the bottle of rose water, and rose essential oil to the milk bath.
Continue to fill the cup up with the milk water and pour over head and face. The idea is to cool a hot head. Children can also benefit from this if they are cranky.
Next sit back and relax for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to get the full benefit with your body fully immersed in the tub. If you get cold, add some warm water. This is great to help one fall asleep better in hot weather. 
After you are complete with the bath, collect the rose petals before you drain the tub so they do not clog. Then take a shower and wash your hair so you do not smell like sour milk! Do not use hot water to rinse and wash your hair because it will undo the benefit of the treatment. Use cool or lukewarm water and do not spend too much time in the shower, just enough time to get the job done. 
Enjoy some pitta pacifying tea or hot milk, wear white cotton pajamas and get into bed with some clean cool cotton sheets. Good night!
Ayurvedic Health Benefits of Milk Bathing
 Traditionally, the Ayurvedic Milk Bath is done with all pure milk and no water. That’s about 25 gallons of milk. According to Vaidya Mishra, “milk is a highly intelligent and delicate substance, the molecular structure of milk is unique from all other foods.” He says that any type of alteration destroys the intelligence of the milk. People can not digest milk in modern times due to this alteration – homogenization, creating low fat milk, adding vitamins and storing it for long periods of time. He says that altering the milk in this way alters the molecular structure and it clogs the microchannels of the body. He says that milk that is fresh, organic, non homogenized and raw – if possible -maintains the intelligence of the milk. According to Ayurveda, there is no substance that can compare to milk, it is a unique substance which when used with spices and boiled can be nourishing and balancing to vata and pitta. 
Ayurveda recommends that one boil the milk three times, meaning that you have to let it rise and fall three times using spices such as ginger, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon and clove. You can also add dried rose petal. Boiling the milk like this and with the spices allows the milk to be absorbed into the microchannels of the body rather than clogg the microchannels.  Cold milk is clogging. The black pepper helps to carry the milk into the channels. The cinnamon helps to balance blood sugar. He also said that you should only use milk from happy cows! Avoid using milk from large factory farms where the cows are often cruelly mistreated. If you can find a small family farm that loves and respects their cows, that would be ideal. Drinking fresh milk from happy cows is the ultimate rasayana. 
Vaidya Mishra was famous for his contribution to Ayurveda with his use of Transdermal products, herbal products applied to the skin and absorbing herbal nutrients into the body via the skin. A milk bath also is transdermal treatment at its best. Your skin will absorb the nutrients through the skin, and will pacify pitta. Here are some other benefits of the milk bath:
  • eases sunburn
  • promotes sleep
  • relieves poison oak and other inflamed skin issues
  • soothes and hydrates the skin
  • reduces stress and calms the nervous system
  • good for dry skin
  • exfoliates skin

Feeling HOT Inside’n Out? Pitta Tea! plus: RECIPES – sattvic & delicious – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Aug 20, 2020 – #32, Vol 10

August 21, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Hot Inside-out? Enjoy A Sip of Cool Goodness!
Ayurveda to the rescue! For it’s not only temperatures that are hot – our hearts are getting cooked up by the ever growing emotional and mental global stress. Ayurveda helps not just with the gross physical body, but is meant to support our entire physiology inside-out.
Here is an all-time best-seller from Vaidya Mishra that has had people from all over the world acknowledging his wisdom and gifts at formulations. A tea to help us cool down and balance all subdoshas of pitta that encompass the physical as well as emotional and mental aspects. If you’re feeling not only hot and dehydrated but also impatient, irritated, sad and blue for no apparent reason then try Vaidya’s Pitta Tea. It cools off the heat of pitta in all aspects of the body, opens the channels of pachaka pitta (stomach), ranjaka pitta (liver), sadhak pitta (heart), alochak Pitta (eyes), and bhrajaka pitta (skin ) without heating them. It also cleans the burners of the dehagni (cellular metabolism) even as it keeps agni in check. Make a cup or a pot of this tea and cool it off at room temperature and sip throughout the day – you’ll see why people love it! Most of all it will hydrate you, pacify your emotions, and keep your stress levels in check too. Enjoy!

Favorite SVA Recipes and Stories
Here are some more stories & recipes – as promised – from Vaidya Mishra’s birthday LOVEFEST shared by some of his students and SVA practitioners – enjoy!
A Simple Yet Oh So Powerful SVA Herbal Tea
I remember the first day I met Vaidya Mishra. He was on tour in Canada offering consults and staying in the home of a friend. As I was working as a community pharmacist I asked if I could sit with him to observe. “Yes wonderful!” he answered. He had a way of seeing into your soul, allowing you to speak your truth. I told him I had been a student of Ayurveda for a long time but it was such a vast subject that my confidence never allowed me to move forward. “Oh don’t worry, I will give you some simple things to do right away that will be very helpful.” At the time I didn’t realize how amazing this statement was and how it would build my confidence as an Ayurvedic Educator.
An opportunity presented itself one evening when I was working alone at the pharmacy. A woman walked in and handed me a prescription and asked if I could please print out the side effects. This was unusual. People get their prescription filled and then we hand them the sheet with the side effects and go over possible risks. She carefully read the sheet of side effects and said, “Why would I take this? The side effects are worse than my disease.” Somehow in that moment my minds jumped to Vaidya’s words, “Don’t worry I will give you some simple things to do.” One of the simple things was a tea recipe that helps open the channels, rehydrate, and bind toxins. 
I approached the woman carefully and asked, “What is your disease?” “Oh, I am having 12 bowel movements a day and can’t go to work or even out of the house for fear of an accident.” I have been given so many tests including colonoscopies and the doctors can’t give me a diagnosis so they prescribed this drug to help with the symptoms.” She was upset and frustrated. I then asked,  “Would you be willing to try a simple herbal tea for 2 weeks and see if it helps?” I gave her the recipe for the tea and told her to come back in 2 weeks. She came back 2 weeks later glowing with excitement. She had drank the tea as I recommended and all her symptoms were gone. She was having 2 normal bowel movements a day.
I was fortunate enough to be able to call Vaidya and tell him of my great success. He proceeded to explain how Ayurveda sees disease start with an imbalance and move through stages of development. In stage 1-4 the symptoms are vague and can’t be easily identified. Then they become more concrete in stage 5 and finally can be “capped’ or named as some specific disease in stage 6. This woman was somewhere in stage 4 where the imbalances were not able to be be named as yet. That also made it easier to create balance in her physiology.
Here is the recipe for this simple SVA tea.
Boil 1-2 litres of spring water ( water that has not been chlorinated) and then add 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful of organic fennel seed, coriander seeds, mint leaves and a pinch of marshmallow root. Let it steep for 10-15 minutes and then strain and sip though out the day. You can use dry mint or if fresh mint leaves – just 2- leaves are enough. This wonderful tea stimulates many balancing functions in the body and is safe for all body types.”

Lime Rice – Healthy Goodness!
It was the beginning of afternoon break during the second Pulse and Marma Course Conference in 2016 in Los Angeles. Vaidya walked into the room with a big roaster pan of lime rice and set in on a warming tray. He came over to me and said – “You have to try this lime rice, it is the way you should prepare your rice. Rice is very Soma predominant and the addition of spices and lime juice adds agni to it making it lighter and easier to digest.” I’ve loved making it since then – needless to mention it’s my all-time favorite! (This recipe apears in Vaidya’s Cookbook – Ayurvedic Recipes for Balance and Bliss)
You will need:  
2 cups cooked rice (or other grains such as barley mixed in)  
2 tsp Mom’s ghee 
4 curry leaves, chopped
½ tsp cumin
1/8 tsp turmeric
1-2 green thai chili, broken in half (optional)
Juice from 1 lime
Cook the rice and/or grains, then fluff to let the moisture evaporate. Sauté the spices, curry leaves and the rice (or grains) in the ghee until everything is well coated. Add the lime juice after the dish has stopped steaming. Serve with wedges of lime on the side.
Attributes of Lime Rice:  
Curry Leaves help detoxify the liver and at the same time, they are enhancing the digestive flame and assists the body to absorb the nutrientsof the food.
Cumin makes sure this dish is digested , it also makes sure that the digestive ‘burners’ are cleaned.
Turmeric detoxifies and repairs the liver
Lime juice makes sure the channels are open so that the effect of the spices is carried throughout the body. Lime is a natural source of vitamin C and an immunity booster. It has a sweet post-digestive taste which enhances Soma and alkalizes the body. Never cook lime.Mom’s Ghee is a probiotic ghee that reduces bad cholesterol, assists in weight loss, carries fat-soluble nutrients into the cells and helps carry away fat-soluble toxins.

We’ve got Your Cup of Tea — & Coffee Too: Peace & Bliss-out! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Aug 13, 2020 – #30, Vol 10

August 14, 2020 by Leave a Comment

We Have Your Cup of Tea – and Coffee Too!
We all need a pick-me-up these days. Something that will restore or maintain our inner biochemical balance that allows us to maintain fortitude and resilience in the face of daily global unfoldings. What can be better than a cup of ayurvedic brew? We invite you to try out 2 of Vaidya’s delicious and best-selling herbal teas to jump start your day on a high note: Vaidya’s Cup or the Bliss and Bliss tea. 
“Vaidya’s Cup”: a Body and Brain Tonic
It’s called “vaidya’s cup” because it’s that good – fit for a vaidya to drink! Energizing yet non-habit forming, full of the goodness of herbs. But people frequently ask us the following question: “if Vaidya’ Cup has zero coffee beans and caffeine – how will it energize us?” Because of the herbal synergy and the SVA know-how that Vaidya used to formulate this beverage, Vaidya’s cup will supply better oxygenation to the brain and lungs; it will help ease the mind by supporting your nervous system against daily stress; and it will keep all your three doshas in check. Last but not least, regular consumption of this blend has cumulative benefits for the nervous system and colon overall. Still not convinced? Then read on to find out what’s in your “Vaidya’s Cup,” and Why?!
4 natural ayurvedic ingredients: 
  • One: Access your bliss with the Mucuna pruriens bean – a natural source of L-Dopa. Mucuna supports your own brain’s chemistry by naturally inducing the production of neurotransmitters (dopamine and noradrenaline) without side-effects, or creating a dependency. 
  • Two: Restore your colon’s intelligence with Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), a “paathya” plant that keeps you and your health on the “paath” (Sanskrit), or the path. Supports daily colon cleanse by re-establishing the intelligence for evacuation and absorption of nutrients. 
  • Three: Detox and nourish your muscle tissue with Wild Date seeds – an ancient ayurvedic ingredient that nourishes the bone tissue, and also adds a rich nutty flavor to your cup. 
  • Four: Support your metabolism with Root Chicory – a great source of dietary fiber. Research has found that with regular use, Root Chicory can help with weight loss, as well as the improvement of bowel function. In Sanskrit, Chicory is called “kaasini” – that which removes the cough. It will support the lungs, on a daily basis, against environmental toxins that are inhaled daily, weighing down our breathing. Chicory is a great ingredient for nourishing and detoxing the lungs daily. 
The ingredients in “Vaidya’s Cup” work together synergistically to rejuvenate your 7 bodily tissues; nourish your nervous system against daily stress; calm your mind; nurture your lungs; pacify all 3 doshas; and gently support daily detox through the kidneys and the colon. It is a good source of prebiotic that will also nourish the friendly bacteria in your colon. 
Now you can choose to start your day – or end it – blissfully! With Vaidya’s Cup: your tridoshic, ayurvedic, caffeine-free mucuna brew! It will not disrupt your sleep, in fact, it will help bring about a restful night. 
Usage: 1-3 cups a day, starting in the morning with, or before breakfast, to initiate the morning, or at night with, or after dinner, to unwind and calm things down. You can also enjoy a cup at “high tea” time with some snacks!
Directions: “Vaidya’s Cup” easily lends itself to many methods of preparation: you can boil on top of your stove, use a percolator or coffee machine, or brew it. Try and find out which way you prefer. 
Brew 1 teaspoon of the powder, per cup per person. You can also bring 1 teaspoon and 1 cup of water to a boil. For a stronger flavor, brew a few minutes longer, or add 1 1/2 teaspoons per cup. Enjoy it with or without milk. Add sugar or honey to taste. Vaidya’s Cup is not an instant coffee. If you like a diluted version, you can just add 1 teaspoon to a cup of hot water and let is sit for 8-12 minutes, and then enjoy. 
Don’t Like Coffee? But Are Still Looking for a Good Cup of Tea?
If you are not terribly fond of the taste or the smell of coffee (minus the caffeine) and would rather opt for something herbal with a lovely fragrance reminiscent of floral and herbal notes, we invite you to try Vaidya Mishra’s “Bliss and Bliss” caffein free herbal tea. 
“Bliss and Bliss” tea is a unique SVA herbal tea that will help lift your mood by supporting your digestion and enhancing oxygenation to the brain. This tea contains three simple ingredients traditionally known to have benefits. Science has also found that the individual ingredients carry potent benefits for the body and mind. Here’s how. 
Rosemary contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help boost the immune system and improve blood circulation. Rosemary also supports digestion, enhances memory and concentration. It contains carnosic acid that helps fight off free radical damage in the brain, and provides neurological protection. It has also been shown to help prevent brain aging, and can help slow down macular degeneration.
Lemongrass is a great ”yogvahi” (a vehicle ). In this formula, it works with in tandem with Rosemary and facilitates its access to the brain. Research also finds that Lemongrass can be relaxing for the brain . 
Pink peppercorn is another excellent “yogvahi” that helps transport the benefits of the Rosemary and Lemongrass faster to the brain. It has been shown to support and enhance oxygenation to the brain.
3 simple yet beautifully aromatic and gently potent ingredients to give you a beautiful start of your day. 
We shared many recipes on Vaidya Mishra’s LOVEFEST last week. We will be sharing all of them next week. In the meantime, here is Vaidya Mishra’s favorite. It’s almost a full meal, depending on what you add to it, and it is perfect for a hot summer day when you crave sweet yet salty yet sour and sweet again! It contains all 6 tastes to satisfy and pacify your doshas as well as your heart and mind. Find the full recipe below.
Summer is here! It’s wonderful to enjoy the sunny days, but sometimes the heat will get at you, and you will find you are hungry but have no appetite! Sounds familiar? What happens is due to the heat, we consume more soma-genic foods – drink more liquids, eat more sweet juicy fruits, etc – and that can put out our digestive fire, the agni. It’s important yet can be hard to keep things balanced. But not if you are using Moms’ Masala! Vaidya shared this wonderful spice mix (masala) with us as it was his very favorite – his mother used it. It is not pungent, it is tridoshic, and what’s best, it is pre-toasted so you can use it with or without cooking. Plus, no need to add salt – already contains Soma Salt. So you can just sprinkle this delicious masala not only to add more flavor to your food, whether it’s a salad or a soup or rice or protein, but you can also sprinkle it on top of your fruit slices. It’s a highly versatile masala, with layered flavors. It will not overtake your meal with a strong “curry” smell. It blends in very gently into whatever you add it to, bringing out the flavors of your meal without overpowering it. What’s even better than that? Read all about what it does in your body! Each ingredient serves a purpose and was added to work harmoniously with all the others. So you support your metabolism, re-ignite your digestive fire, pacify all 3 doshas, and have a happy lovely day – because our digestion is at the root of our health and happiness as we all know…

Goooooood Vibrations with Aditya Prakash 
~ save the date – August 15, 20
Vaidya Mishra LOVED carnatic virtuoso artist Aditya Prakash. He used to call him “my Brahmin boy.” Aditya and Vaidya recorded many albums of Ayurvedic Healing Sound together (you can find them all on www.chandika.com). Carnatic music, for those of us who are not familiar, is as close as it gets to “primordial vedic sound” – the original vibrational frequencies that resonate at the core of our being, as modern quantum physics has now shown. We are made of sound frequencies. And just like anything else under the sun, these frequencies can go off. When they resonate at lower vibration, then we may experience ill-ness or dis-ease that eventually materializes as symptoms. Listening to “vedic” sound or music is an excellent practice that is both enjoyable and healing – vibrationally!

Carnatic music is as old as time, and its repertoire of songs is almost completely dedicated to stories, attributes, and elements of creation: Devata-s and their cosmic and earthly activities. Listening to classical carnatic music is not just an entertaining cultural activity, but it has a deep soothing settling impact on the nervous system and entire mind-body-heart complex. Specially when performed by talented and accomplished artists such as Aditya Prakash. Now you can experience it all from the comfort of your home, specially during these trying times, when we ALL need MORE GOOD GOOD GOOD VIBRATIONS – to quote the Beach Boys!
We invite you to attend Aditya’s first online Carnatic concert. Here’s a message from Aditya: On August 15th at 7:30pm PST, I’ll be heading over to the Joe Goode Performance Theater in San Francisco to meet in person with my team of musicians – Shiva Ramamurthi on violin and Rohan Krishnamurthy on percussion to make some music together! We will be performing the first live-stream Carnatic concert that’s taking place from a state of the art theater with professional lights, sound and it will be streamed to you LIVE in full cinematic 4KUHD video and surround sound! Buying a ticket for this event would support me and my team of musicians, arts organizations such as Navatman to continue curating events like this, and performance spaces, all who have been significantly hit due to COVID. Plus we promise to give you an entirely new live-streaming experience – Navatman is planning Drive East in a way that will create (as close as possible) the feeling of being at the concert!
I hope you can be a part of this one of a kind event, and I urge you to get your ticket soon as the festival is limiting availability to 120 guests. Myself and Shiva would be grateful to have the support of our SIMA community…
Healing Sounds with
Vaidya & Aditya –
accompanied by Sheela Bhringi
Calm your mind, soothe heart, and settle your nerves, with the full set of body and organ mantras. Vaidya Mishra recorded these with Aditya Prakash’s original compositions. You can chant along or just play them 24/7 in the background in your home or office to create a peaceful harmonized environment. We all need more of that specially nowadays!

We will be resuming our Marma Course to offer the practicum sessions in a new on-line format. All students who are signed will receive notification via email. We look forward to continuing our SVA Marma education with you all.

We shared many recipes on Vaidya Mishra’s LOVEFEST a couple days ago. The one below was one of Vaidya Mishra’s favorites. It’s almost a full meal, depending on what you add to it, and it is perfect for a hot summer day when you crave sweet yet salty yet sour and sweet again! It contains all 6 tastes to satisfy and pacify your doshas as well as your heart and mind. Find the full recipe below.
Summer is here! It’s wonderful to enjoy the sunny days, but sometimes the heat will get at you, and you will find you are hungry but have no appetite! Sounds familiar? What happens is due to the heat, we consume more soma-genic foods – drink more liquids, eat more sweet juicy fruits, etc – and that can put out our digestive fire, the agni. It’s important yet can be hard to keep things balanced. But not if you are using Moms’ Masala! Vaidya shared this wonderful spice mix (masala) with us as it was his very favorite – his mother used it. It is not pungent, it is tridoshic, and what’s best, it is pre-toasted so you can use it with or without cooking. Plus, no need to add salt – already contains Soma Salt. So you can just sprinkle this delicious masala not only to add more flavor to your food, whether it’s a salad or a soup or rice or protein, but you can also sprinkle it on top of your fruit slices. It’s a highly versatile masala, with layered flavors. It will not overtake your meal with a strong “curry” smell. It blends in very gently into whatever you add it to, bringing out the flavors of your meal without overpowering it. What’s even better than that? Read all about what it does in your body! Each ingredient serves a purpose and was added to work harmoniously with all the others. So you support your metabolism, re-ignite your digestive fire, pacify all 3 doshas, and have a happy lovely day – because our digestion is at the root of our health and happiness as we all know…
What’s in Moms’ Masala & Why?
21 Ingredients in Mom’s Super-Spice & Why They’re Good for You:
 
Coriander Seed: A pro-diuretic spice, calming, blood-cleansing, cools the mind, helps evacuate ama-visha from the body;
Cumin: digestive spice, burns ama, provides good environment for the friendly bacteria in the colon;
Turmeric: an anti- inflammatory, anti-oxidant, immuno-modulator supports liver detox (for more information see the book Turmeric Superspice);

Fenugreek seed: improves fat and sugar metabolism;.
Fennel Seed: harmonizing, carminative, cooling for the digestive system;
Tejpatta (Indian Cinnamon Leaf): improves sugar metabolism;
Mace: Calming, satisfying, fragrant;

Large Cardamom: supports the taste buds, the digestive system;
Cinnamon Tamala: enhances flame (agni) supports downward (normal) flow of apana;
Clove: appetizer, taste bud enhancer, digestive, enhances the secretion of salivary glands – a special spice for pacifying pitta and enhancing agni;

Pink Pepper: mild aromatic anti-oxidant;

Goooooood Vibrations with Aditya Prakash 
~ save the date – August 15, 20
Vaidya Mishra LOVED carnatic virtuoso artist Aditya Prakash. He used to call him “my Brahmin boy.” Aditya and Vaidya recorded many albums of Ayurvedic Healing Sound together (you can find them all on www.chandika.com). Carnatic music, for those of us who are not familiar, is as close as it gets to “primordial vedic sound” – the original vibrational frequencies that resonate at the core of our being, as modern quantum physics has now shown. We are made of sound frequencies. And just like anything else under the sun, these frequencies can go off. When they resonate at lower vibration, then we may experience ill-ness or dis-ease that eventually materializes as symptoms. Listening to “vedic” sound or music is an excellent practice that is both enjoyable and healing – vibrationally!

Carnatic music is as old as time, and its repertoire of songs is almost completely dedicated to stories, attributes, and elements of creation: Devata-s and their cosmic and earthly activities. Listening to classical carnatic music is not just an entertaining cultural activity, but it has a deep soothing settling impact on the nervous system and entire mind-body-heart complex. Specially when performed by talented and accomplished artists such as Aditya Prakash. Now you can experience it all from the comfort of your home, specially during these trying times, when we ALL need MORE GOOD GOOD GOOD VIBRATIONS – to quote the Beach Boys!
We invite you to attend Aditya’s first online Carnatic concert. Here’s a message from Aditya: On August 15th at 7:30pm PST, I’ll be heading over to the Joe Goode Performance Theater in San Francisco to meet in person with my team of musicians – Shiva Ramamurthi on violin and Rohan Krishnamurthy on percussion to make some music together! We will be performing the first live-stream Carnatic concert that’s taking place from a state of the art theater with professional lights, sound and it will be streamed to you LIVE in full cinematic 4KUHD video and surround sound! Buying a ticket for this event would support me and my team of musicians, arts organizations such as Navatman to continue curating events like this, and performance spaces, all who have been significantly hit due to COVID. Plus we promise to give you an entirely new live-streaming experience – Navatman is planning Drive East in a way that will create (as close as possible) the feeling of being at the concert!
I hope you can be a part of this one of a kind event, and I urge you to get your ticket soon as the festival is limiting availability to 120 guests. Myself and Shiva would be grateful to have the support of our SIMA community…
Healing Sounds with
Vaidya & Aditya –
accompanied by Sheela Bhringi
Calm your mind, soothe heart, and settle your nerves, with the full set of body and organ mantras. Vaidya Mishra recorded these with Aditya Prakash’s original compositions. You can chant along or just play them 24/7 in the background in your home or office to create a peaceful harmonized environment. We all need more of that specially nowadays!

We had our final live-streamed session on April 30: we covered specific formulations for SVA Marma Therapy and delved into additional related topics. It was a fabulous final live session, and we were all sad to conclude this portion of the course. We all look forward to when we will be able to get together for our practicum weekend and practice our newly acquired skills. Until then, we will be staying in touch via our virtual classroom and communicating via messenger.

Calm Your Mind with SVA; plus Vaidya LOVEFEST; – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter July 24, 2020 – #28, Vol 10

July 24, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Perhaps desperate times do call for drastic measures as the expression goes, and specially now more than ever we seem to be facing such a reality. In the process of adjusting and maintaining a sense of operational normalcy these days, we may feel unduly mentally stressed and emotionally troubled, when we need to actually harness all our mental energy and emotional strength to stay on top of things and be able to “surf the big waves” as Vaidya Mishra so often reminded us. And in such situations, willing ourselves into calm will only aggravate things further, unless you take steps to shift your body’s chemistry, lower your cortisol levels, increase alkalinity, and reset your nervous system to stay cool and composed so you can navigate the hardships with brilliance. Vaidya Mishra made unique powerful formulations that bipass the digestive tract and are thus safe and supply fast results: transdermal creams, trans-mucosal drops, essential oils, water-based sprays, and soaps. Plus sound therapy: a special mantra to help calm the mind and nerves. Play it 24/7 on low volume, or learn the verse and sing along. Try one or all, and discover how SVA offers you a world of ayurvedic remedies to help support us on a daily basis to weather the storm. We got you covered!
we received so much wonderful feedback about the recipes below that we are re-running them! Wishing you MORE BLISS ALWAYS…
2 more delicious recipes with Rose
to be and stay
stress-free this summer
Making preserve out of rose petals is a very old tradition in many cultures – whether in India, in the Middle East, as well as Europe. However, not all recipes and preserves will have a balancing effect. In India, Rose Preserve is very popular and is called: Gulkand. It is readily available everywhere. But it is usually made with white sugar – we know that the consumption of white sugar depletes our bodies of minerals and lowers our pH, so you want to avoid that. Also, many recipes do not use Rosa Centifolia. Other varities of rose have different properties, so you want to be careful when you are purchasing a rose preserve that it was actually made with Rosa Centifolia.
In addition, many times, the recipes use vinegar, or citric acid, as well as synthetic scent or aroma, or color, to enhance the look and flavor. These are all carcinogenic ingredients you want to steer clear of.
Sometimes preserves sitting on shelves get oxidized or fermented if the formula is not balanced enough. You should watch out.
Vaidya Mishra carefully formulated his SVA Rose Petal Preserve according to his ancient ayurvedic precepts. He used natural ascorbic acid balances the sugar molecules. In addition, he used pectine which micro-encapsulates the sugar molecules, so that they do not rush into your blood stream and give you a sugar high. Pectine also modulates the sugar molecules to give sustained release into the body. He added natural essence of Rose Absolute, for enhanced rose properties in addition to organic rose bud petals. Fall in love once more, with and through Vaidya’s SVA preserve jars of pure rose bliss! For a blissful start of your day, you can add some Rose Presrve to your breakfast, but DO NOT ADD to your milk, as the ascorbic acid in this recipe will curdle your milk and cause indigestion. Here’s another delicious recipe from Vaidya for a day-time snack, specially in hot summers, prep time: 3 minutes:
Mix:
4 tsp raisins – any kind you like
4 tsp dry toasted pine-nuts
2 tsp Rose Petal Preserve
Mix all the ingredients together and carry with you in a jar. You can snack on this throughout the day for a sustaining bliss-inducing quick pick-me-up!
This recipe is Pitta and Vata Pacifying. It can also pacify Kapha dosha – add ½ tsp fresh ground Black pepper.
You can keep any unused portions and consume for 3-4 days. 
Here’s wishing you all only rosy days ….

In Ayurvedic terms, how can Collagen and Beta-carotene support the health and beauty of healthy skin? The skin is the result of many complex transformations and metabolic operations. Vaidya Mishra explained that sometimes, in some people, the physical materials, the physical proteins and other molecules to be transformed into the body’s molecular ‘bricks’ are in short supply.
Collagen, Keratin and Elasten
Two of these ‘bricks’ are keratin and collagen. There are three key ‘beauty’ proteins in the body, collagen, elastin and keratin. Collagen is a type of protein, and works with keratin to provide the skin strength, smoothness, elasticity and resilience. It is produced by the skin and other parts of the body. When you are young, you have an abundance of collagen in your body, which is why young children have such lovely shiny hair and smooth skin. It is referred to be the “cement” which holds everything together. As we age, our body’s production of collagen and other structural proteins starts to slow down, our skin starts to lose its elasticity and, sadly, we start to notice sagging skin, wrinkles, and lines forming around the eyes and mouth. 
Furthermore, with time, reactive oxygen molecules, associated with many aspects of aging, lead to increased production of the enzyme collagenase, which breaks down collagen. It’s been found that certain diseases are related to either collagen deficiencies or the lack of its synthesis by the body. Such diseases most commonly arise from a combination of either genetic defects, poor intake of collagen-rich foods, nutritional deficiencies, or digestive problems affecting the production (synthesis) of collagen.  
The key detail is that collagen is only found in animals and there is no plant source for collagen. It is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animal bodies (including humans). As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen tissues may be rigid (bone), compliant (tendon), or have a gradient from rigid to compliant (cartilage).
Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins that occurs naturally in hair, nails and skin. Keratin is the protein that protects epithelial cells from damage or stress. It is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin. Depending on amino acid levels, it can be hard (as it is in nails) or soft (as it is in skin). No matter what form it’s in, keratin is designed for protection. In our skin, the outer layer (the epidermis) is made up of a layer of dead keratin cells, pushed to the surface by new keratin cells growing underneath. This outer layer provides waterproofing functions as well as strength and elasticity. The loss of strength and elasticity in older skin is due to losing keratin over the years. When the top level of keratin is compromised, the sensitive inner layers are exposed to damage through heat, chemicals, or friction. When skin keratin is damaged, it results in skin looking flaky and dry. Typically, the healthiest skin has the thickest layer of dead keratin protecting the cells underneath.
Keratinization is the process by which keratin hardens. Without the mesh-like outer layer formed by keratinization, the skin would easily break, resulting in frequent infection by foreign invaders like bacteria. Keratin hardens as keratinocytes, found in epithelial cells, produce more and more keratin. Keratin forms a tight mesh, making it impenetrable unless damaged. As these keratinized cells age on the skin, the body sloughs off the dead or damaged cells. 
Collagen facial creams have been around for decades. But do any of them really work? Not really, because the collagen does not get absorbed, since collagen is quite a large molecule, and it does not penetrate the skin but stays idly on top of it, and gets washed off. Same applies to keratin. Certain creams containing keratin do seem to fair a little better in terms of results but many do not, especially those keratin products made with excessive heat which damages the proteins, changes the properties, and making them useless. The point here is the same as with supplementation. Once it is determined that there is a deficiency, we try to supplement things externally, because the body is not producing enough on its own. But most of the time the oral or transdermal supplementation is neither absorbed nor utilized by the body. So how can we support this? 
All the power of transformation to make collagen and use keratin is supported through the presence of wild harvested Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) in high quantities in Vaidya’s Lalita creams. Vaidya called this herb a ‘maha twaga’ rasayana – a great or the very best rasayana for the skin.  
Modern science agrees: 
• The centella asiatica (gotu kola) extract asiaticoside is well-known to promote skin connective tissue repair and wound healing. 
• In a study assessing the exact biology of this action of asiaticoside on skin and connective tissue repair, it was found that asiaticoside affected the expression of 54 genes related to connective tissue function!
• Specifically, asiaticoside upregulated the expression of genes related to fibroblast “cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression and synthesis of the extracellular matrix”.
• This, in simple terms, means that collagen cells mature and multiply faster and produce more collagen and other connective tissue proteins.
• In another study it was found that asiaticoside boosted the secretion of collagen type I (the hard collagen that gives firmness to skin and connective tissue) and collagen type III (the softer, “baby collagen”, which is produced before collagen type I and helps with connective tissue repair and regeneration).
Reference: There is no shortage of research on using this remarkable herb for collagen synthesis: Gotu Kola for the Skin – The Ancient Healing Herb for Anti-aging. Centella asiatica in Cosmetology   

Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene is the one other ingredient also key for beautiful skin. Looking at beta-carotene we find that it is effective in conditions like dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. Vitamin A, being a powerful antioxidant, is involved in the growth and repair of body tissues and hence, protects the skin against damage. When applied externally, it helps in treating ulcers, impetigo, boils, carbuncles and open ulcers, and removes age spots. It also speeds up the healing of skin lesions, cuts and wounds. Beta-carotene helps premature skin ageing by acting as an antioxidant, a substance that reduces oxygen damage caused by UV light, pollutions and other environmental hazards like smoking. Adequate intake and transformation of beta carotene imparts luster, making the skin more attractive and beautiful. Last, but not least, beta-carotene can even help reduce sun sensitivity.   
Please note: as already mentioned, collagen is found only in animals. There are no plant sources of collagen. We use animal collagen sourced exclusively from organically-raised chickens. The beta-carotene is derived from organic carrots.  
Now you can use any of your favorite Lalita’s Facial Cream enhanced with natural collagen & beta-carotene: Vaidya incorporated the new ingredients into all the original Lalita’s Age Defying Cream (with aroma) and into the Pearl and Jasmine- Lalita’s Age Defying Cream. (Those who prefer not to have any animal products in their creams can still use the original versions of these two creams without Collagen and Beta Carotene)
The Lalita’s Age Defying Line of Facial Creams
• Lalita’s Age Defying Cream (with or without aroma)
• Abhrak & Jasmine Lalita’s Age Defying Cream
• Abhrak & Rose Lalita’s Age Defying Cream
• Abhrak Lalita’s Age Defying Cream (Aroma Free)
• Jasmine Navratna Celestial Radiance Facial Cream
• Rose Navratna – Celestial Radiance Facial Cream

• Navratna Celestial Radiance Facial Cream
• Pearl and Jasmine- Lalita’s Age Defying Cream
• Pearl and Rose – Lalita’s Age Defying Cream

Any of Vaidya’s original Lalita’s Age Defying Facial Creams can now be made-to-order Enhanced with Collagen & Beta-Carotene
2 more delicious recipes with Rose
to be and stay
stress-free this summer
Making preserve out of rose petals is a very old tradition in many cultures – whether in India, in the Middle East, as well as Europe. However, not all recipes and preserves will have a balancing effect. In India, Rose Preserve is very popular and is called: Gulkand. It is readily available everywhere. But it is usually made with white sugar – we know that the consumption of white sugar depletes our bodies of minerals and lowers our pH, so you want to avoid that.

Sometimes preserves sitting on shelves get oxidized or fermented if the formula is not balanced enough. You should watch out.
Vaidya Mishra carefully formulated his SVA Rose Petal Preserve according to his ancient ayurvedic precepts. He used natural ascorbic acid balances the sugar molecules. In addition, he used pectine which micro-encapsulates the sugar molecules, so that they do not rush into your blood stream and give you a sugar high. Pectine also modulates the sugar molecules to give sustained release into the body. He added natural essence of Rose Absolute, for enhanced rose properties in addition to organic rose bud petals. Fall in love once more, with and through Vaidya’s SVA preserve jars of pure rose bliss! For a blissful start of your day, you can add some Rose Presrve to your breakfast, but DO NOT ADD to your milk, as the ascorbic acid in this recipe will curdle your milk and cause indigestion. Here’s another delicious recipe from Vaidya for a day-time snack, specially in hot summers, prep time: 3 minutes:
Mix:
4 tsp raisins – any kind you like
4 tsp dry toasted pine-nuts
2 tsp Rose Petal Preserve
Mix all the ingredients together and carry with you in a jar. You can snack on this throughout the day for a sustaining bliss-inducing quick pick-me-up!
This recipe is Pitta and Vata Pacifying. It can also pacify Kapha dosha – add ½ tsp fresh ground Black pepper.
You can keep any unused portions and consume for 3-4 days. 
Here’s wishing you all only rosy days ….

Quick Recipes to Stay Cool & Composed with Rose; Study SVA with Traci – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter July 9, 2020 – #26, Vol 10

July 10, 2020 by Leave a Comment

It’s not about will-power, even though keeping yourself from reaching out for the ice-cream bucket certainly helps if you have more determination and do not indulge in self-sabotage. But when you are feeling down and out, and can’t motivate yourself to do what you know is right, it doesn’t help to beat yourself up over it and make things worse. The human physiology is a work of wonder, a complex system that runs 24/7 on so many levels in such a complex manner. With Ayurveda, we can learn to keep it optimally balanced so it can support us to combat stress and emotional distress. Ayurveda offers us such in-depth knowledge not just of our bodies, but of plants, flowers, spices, herbs. Perhaps your grandmother used to make her special rose preserve, but now, having read up on the incredible health benefits of rose, you understand the value of consuming rose petals for balance purposes. Vaidya Mishra loved roses, and that’s why he made so many wonderful blends, and have us so many recipes with rose. Rose is a wonderful ingredient, specially during the summer time. Rose is great for the whole physiology, and when used with other supporting ingredients, it is excellent for ALL body types and will not aggravate any dosha. In Ayurveda, rose is called “taruni,” – meaning “everyoung.” Its name stands for the youth-promoting benefits and properties it carries: it is good for the emotional heart; pacifying to the mind; nurturing for the skin; balancing to the digestive system; rejuvenating for the colon; enhances metabolism; and it can even be used to promote physical and emotional love… There are hundreds of genera of rose, but one amongst them stands out and carries all the above qualities. It is called “shatpatri” in Ayurveda or known as “Rosa Centifolia” in the west. It is the rose with a hundred (or very many) petals. Shop Vaidya’s exquisite exclusive Rose formulations – only on chandika.com – and try some of the delicious recipes below.
Making preserve out of rose petals is a very old tradition in many cultures – whether in India, in the Middle East, as well as Europe. However, not all recipes and preserves will have a balancing effect. In India, Rose Preserve is very popular and is called: Gulkand. It is readily available everywhere. But it is usually made with white sugar – we know that the consumption of white sugar depletes our bodies of minerals and lowers our pH, so you want to avoid that. Also, many recipes do not use Rosa Centifolia. Other varities of rose have different properties, so you want to be careful when you are purchasing a rose preserve that it was actually made with Rosa Centifolia.
In addition, many times, the recipes use vinegar, or citric acid, as well as synthetic scent or aroma, or color, to enhance the look and flavor. These are all carcinogenic ingredients you want to steer clear of.
Sometimes preserves sitting on shelves get oxidized or fermented if the formula is not balanced enough. You should watch out.
Vaidya Mishra carefully formulated his SVA Rose Petal Preserve according to his ancient ayurvedic precepts. He used natural ascorbic acid balances the sugar molecules. In addition, he used pectine which micro-encapsulates the sugar molecules, so that they do not rush into your blood stream and give you a sugar high. Pectine also modulates the sugar molecules to give sustained release into the body. He added natural essence of Rose Absolute, for enhanced rose properties in addition to organic rose bud petals. Fall in love once more, with and through Vaidya’s SVA preserve jars of pure rose bliss! For a blissful start of your day, you can add some Rose Presrve to your breakfast, but DO NOT ADD to your milk, as the ascorbic acid in this recipe will curdle your milk and cause indigestion. Here’s another delicious recipe from Vaidya for a day-time snack, specially in hot summers, prep time: 3 minutes:
Mix:
4 tsp raisins – any kind you like
4 tsp dry toasted pine-nuts
2 tsp Rose Petal Preserve
Mix all the ingredients together and carry with you in a jar. You can snack on this throughout the day for a sustaining bliss-inducing quick pick-me-up!
This recipe is Pitta and Vata Pacifying. It can also pacify Kapha dosha – add ½ tsp fresh ground Black pepper.
You can keep any unused portions and consume for 3-4 days. 
Here’s wishing you all only rosy days ….

Keep Up the Spirit; Study SVA with Traci – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter July 2, 2020 – #25, Vol 10

July 1, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Keep up the Spirit….
Many of us were perhaps nostalgically anticipating a celebratory July 4th weekend only to watch plans come undone with the most recent developments. Not so much social distancing, as social isolation is now becoming necessary, in addition to other dire measure to help curb the rise of infection. It’s hard. These are tough times, personally and collectively. And the only thing we can do is weather them patiently and with strength of heart – all things do come to pass. We will rise above this too. And welcome a braver vedic new world…
Warm wishes from Vaidya Mishra’s Prana Center to all of you for a safe albeit solemn 4th of July long weekend.
