There are some, who always eat out, either by choice or from necessity. The food may be tasty, but it is not always fresh and healthy. The processed, fatty, sugary, stale food takes a toll on health in course of time. Some keep irregular hours for food, killing their appetite with stimulants like coffee and tea. The stomach acids increase and health gets spoiled. Some eat food that is way too hot and spicy, numbing the tongue to the extent that unless that level of spice is maintained, food is not palatable. Food that is natural, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables freshly prepared, food that is prepared and served with love and a calm, pious state of mind, food that is low in fat, sugar, salt, and spice, all taken at regular hours in a moderate quantity is best for health, Swamiji is telling us. I hope we all follow the good advice and stay away from junk food, food derived from violence, too many desserts, stimulants, processed, chemically contaminated foods, and that we keep regular food timings. Bon appetit and praying for every one’s good health – Jaya Guru Datta

Jai Guru Datta

Sri Swamiji cares for our well being in all aspects. He feeds us with the knowledge best suited for us, with His enchanting music, the wonderful Musical Message Sayings which are like nectar for the mind, the eyes and the ears. He cares also for our bodies which He has given to us for this life graciously.
Greatest thanks to Sri Swamiji! 🙂

JAYA GURU DATTA! Shathakoti Shastanga Pranams to lotus feet of Parama Pujya Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachidananda Swamiji. Thank u Appaji for giving a Excellent MMS, OM SRI JAYALAXMI MATRE NAMAH. SRI GURU DATTA!

JGD! Apt reminder for the contemporary age, when junk food rules the roost. SGD!

According to me, by seeing today’s MMS 326 , we can realize how much Appaji is very particular about health conscious . Puttuji as you said here it is a fact that one should understand that , we eat to live. Here I remember Appaji’ words saying that we should always request God to give Health, knowledge and wealth. From this we must realize that with out health nothing can be done . That is why Appaji says to have a good health, we should have right food and that to to take in right time and sufficient quantity. If we keep good health , we know our potential , which means the strength of our body , mind and intellect . Therefore when we take good food our mind and intellect will become sharp and that will help us in our life and not only that it will help us to develop our spiritual knowledge also through the words and teachings of our Sadguru. That should be our aim and which is only eternal. Here recently I had my own experience when I visited the Ashram and Appaji told me to take sufficient quantity of food every day and see to keep perfect health. He further told me this will help me to give more energy which is needed to sing Bhajans. This is because at this age of 72 , iam still participating and singing Bhajans in our ashram regularly at Cochin. This give me a good power of energy which help me to my day to day life also. The Bhajan Annapurna and the photography are very apt for this MSG since our Appaji , Himself as Annapurni and the photography shows the quality of food which even we get from nature. Thank You Appaji to alert us and also reminding us about the importance of keeping good health. JGD.

Jaya Guru Datta!

jgd Swami ji, may Your words work as the first priority in today’s life style, let us follow them sincerely to promote good health and make the best use of ‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’ to realize the Truth that we are not blessed with this body to work, earn and spend to enjoy, the real purpose must be achieved to understand that we are The super Soul travelling in this body to reach Satchitananda, pranaams Parmatma onhn sgd.

Jaya Guru Datta! I remember Swamiji saying that the tongue is a sneaky one. It’s probably one of the hardest sense organs to restrain. So, eating right doesn’t come easy. My father always reminds me of the adage that all diseases are caused due to overeating and that moderation is important. I also recall Swamiji encouraging us to eat fresh, home cooked food in one of His discourses. Eating at irregular intervals, overeating or eating fast food are common place in today’s world. But, they definitely take a toll on our health in the long run. Thank You for this reminder, Swamiji. I used to hear the term “Annam Parabhramam” when I was growing up. But, now I understand that food which nourishes the body and helps in the journey of this soul needs to be the right kind, the right quantity and consumed at the right time. Obeisances at the Holy Lotus Feet!

Chocolate with a good prayer is also nice . . . I like the comments, the Video and
the starlike food patterns that show the flow of everything . . . jai Guru Datta . . .

JGD Appaji
Thank You for teaching us the importance of sattvic and timely food.
Tongue is a very tough sense to control..sometimes we do not eat much at all..sometimes we overreat..as Appaji says moderation is very important. Chanting Datta Stava before each meal truly helps in filling the food with positive energy.

SRI MATRE NAMAH
My beloved SADGURU, I have seen, how YOU feed the birds. That video touches me very much. I think in this manner we should feed ourselves: with love and care, right food, right quantity and at the right time.
Thank YOU for YOUR love.
Humbly I bow down at YOUR Lotosfeet
