Vajrasan• Vajra (Devanagari: वज्र) is a Sanskrit word

meaning both thunderbolt and diamond. • By regularly practising this asan your body

becomes strong like a diamond. That’s why this asan is called as Vajrasan.

stubbornness?

flower, so it is called Padmasana.

Sharad Poonam (11th Oct ’11, Tuesday)

Sharad Poonam (11th Oct ’11, Tuesday)• Medical Significance: • It is considered that the Moon and the Earth are at a closer distance on Sharad Poornima night. Due

to this, the rays of the moon have several curative properties. Keeping food under the moonlight nourishes both the body and the soul. Following are some health tips which we all can benefit from during Sharad Poornima. 

• For Happiness & Good Health All the Year round• On Sharad Poonam, make kheer of Rice, Milk, Mishri in the evening. Put some gold or silver for

sometime while making Kheer; then place it in the Moonlight for about 2-3 hours from about 8:30 PM onwards. Don’t cook any other food for that night, only eat Kheer. We should not take heavy diet in late night, hence eat Kheer accordingly. The Kheer which is placed in Sharad Poonam night can also be taken in next day break-fast after making it asPrasad by offering it to the Lord.

• Tips for Improving Eyesight• Do Tratak on Moon for 15-20 minutes in the night from Dussehra to Sharad Poornima. To look with

a constant gaze without blinking the eye lids, is called Tratak.• To be free from Eye troubles & for eyes to work properly whole year, try to put thread in a needle in

Sharad Poonam Moonlight. (No other light should be nearby).• Do Jaagran on Sharad Poonam Night • Sharad Poonam Night is very beneficial for spiritual upliftment, hence one should try &

do Jaagran on this night, i.e. as possible don’t sleep and do JapDhyan Kirtan on this holy night. 

Home work-Daily RoutineRoutine:• Count 25-50 breathes as soon as you get up in the morning right on your bed everyday. When you breath-in, say

"OM" in mind and when you breath-out count 1. Again, when you breath-in say "RAM" and when you breath-out count 2. Repeat this 25-50 times by taking the name of God, each time you breath-in. This will have remarkable positive affect on you and your day will fly by.

• Make a daily routine chart in your work-book (writing pad) for this week something like below and check mark the days you were able to do this. We will keep adding new things to the daily routine in the next coming weeks.
