My Visit to Zurich - 30.5.25 to 27.7.25

1.6.25 - Planing for a trekking around Appenzell 85 kms from home. Got up at 5:30am, brushed, bathed, meditated, had breakfast (Strawberries, Blueberries, Poha Upma and Sanjeevani) Nirmalya and Shalini explained nicely about their journey in acquiring their platinum AI card. Let me see if I could get a gold cardЁЯШК. Had started at 8:40am. Took our jackets and walking sticks. Nirmalya my son in law drove and we reached Appenzell and started the trekking at 10:30am to see the Seealpsee a lake atop the mountains. On our way to the lake we took a detour to have Butterbrot (Butter Bread) and Yogurt from a farm store. After the snacks took a dip (leg alone) at the lake’s chill water. It was refreshing and rejuvenating, it took away all the stress and pain in the legs

Seealpsee - the lake atop the mountains which was our trekking destination.

Flammkuchen - Veggie version

The restaurant just before the lake that severed us with Butter bread.

Guess distance to our destination ЁЯША

we followed a tougher route and not the service lane while climbing but resorted to service lane down hill.

Down hill we had yummy ЁЯдд Cone ice cream from a self served vending machine at 3 CHF each.

On our way back my daughter Shalini drove back.

It was a lovely trekking experience which we all liked thoroughlyЁЯдй.

Further climbing up from the lake would have taken us to the hill top hut which one could stay over nightЁЯШ▒.

Journey in Natural Farming


After knowing through news paper, TV news, TV debates, Youtube videos, and many Social medias about chemicals getting into our food chain to the extent researchers finding 200 odd manmade chemicals being present in an umbilical chord of a new born baby, I bought a device that could be used to measure man made chemicals (nitrates) present in the vegetables and fruits. The device has a probe that can be inserted into any vegetable or fruit and the devices’s screen displays the Nitrate content. If the nitrate content is with in allowable limits it is safe to consume and if the Nitrate reading show in red, that means the vegetables or fruits are grown using excessive man made chemicals. Believe me the researchers data is correct, all veggies and most of the fruits that we have access to through vegetable and fruit shops are chemical ridden. 
Our body that has evolved over millions of years is not ready and is still learning to digest / eliminate man made chemicals in food that are less than a century old. Though agriculture is more than 2000 years old man started using man made chemicals as fertilisers and insecticide, herbicide etc only in the last century. So human body is yet to learn how to eliminate these toxins from the body. The toxins that remain in the body undigested reduces immunity of the body and also pave way for chronic diseases.
My experience with FMTV ( food matters tv) :
James the founder of FMTV was in sync with my thinking and hence have been subscribing FMTV for more than a decade now. By consciously avoiding solid food and sticking to juices prescribed in FMTV’s 2 weeks workshop on detoxification help’s detoxification and during the workshop from 2nd day onwards you start to feel the benefits of the workshop . The head ache or diarrhoea one gets while detoxing means detoxing exercise is working. These symptoms of detoxification subsides by 4th or 5th day of detoxification. Ones starts feeling breeze after this. 
It was not sufficient you only detox. You have to source chemical free food ingredients. Hence my journey in to farming to grow my own rice without any man made chemicals. Rice is the single most food that we consume in abundant quantity as idli, dosai and for daily lunch as boiled table rice etc..
I attended Shri Subhash Palekar’s 10 day work shop on (SPNF) natural farming in 2019 February at Trichy SRM campus. It was an eye opener. He said nature is abundant with the minerals required for the plants and humans and that we do not have to use any man made chemicals whatsoever either to grow or protect the plants. All that we need as per Shri Subhas Palekar was one Desi cow for its urine and cow dung, which are rich in microorganisms that act on the soil to provide the plants with the essential nutrients and minerals. Learnt to make Jeevamrutham, Ganajeevamrutham, Beejamrutham, рооோро░் роХро░ைроЪро▓் etc to grow plants with out using man made chemicals. 
So first was to buy a Desi cow. I was surprised to see not a single soul in the village nor those in the family who have been in agriculture for ages knew how to identify a Desi cow from a Jersey cow or Jersey cross breed cows. It took almost 2 years for me to identify a pure Umbalacherry cow with calf. Lakshmi (2nd calfed mother) and Ahalya (calf) as named by my daughter Shalini came into our life in July’23. Not just us our extended family was thrilled to have the cow. Deputed Raja as care taker for Lakshmi and Ahalya. Lakshmi’s milk 3 litters in the morning and 2 liters in the evening was relished by all milk takers in the extended family. I came across a tamil рокுро▒роиாройூро▒ு рокாроЯро▓் that exemplifies Umbalacherry buttermilk. This exemplification is not without a reason the milk, butter and the butter milk all tasted out of the world. My mother stopped buying butter for daily use. Daily ghee usage was  met with the butter drawn out of the  curd made from umbellachery cow’s milk.            
Lakshmi with her calf Ahalya




I was more interested to make Jeevamrutham. It was made my mother’s responsibility to make the moong dal flour and supply the 100 gram moong dal flour, 100 gram jaggery along with 100 gram soil to Raja(my man Friday on Farming front)  every 15 days, so that Raja makes 20 liter Jeevamrutham mixing 1 liter of cow’s urine and 1 kg of cow dung to the above ingredients that my mother gives along with 20 liter water. This mixture is left to fermant for 48 hours, only stirring morning and evening in clockwise direction for a minute. 
As we stopped using man made chemicals (fertilisers), pesticides and herbicides from 2019 onwards, now our land is ready to be certified as an organic farm land. I have taken steps to register our land as organically certified. This will be handy when some organic produce sellers insist on certificates to buy organically produced farm products from our land.
My journey became relatively easy with the support of my brother Viswanathan who has been doing agriculture for more than 25 years now. Thanks to my wife Kala and daughter Shalini for their encouragement. 
September ‘23 Rakthashaali a traditional 2000 year old paddy was harvested from our farm land and this was our first venture to sell the paddy after value adding as rice and poha. There was tremendous support to the organically grown Rakthashaali rice. This rice is touted to be 2000 year old rice and is figuring in the Ayurvedic book Charaksamhitha as a rice with high nutritive value. Here is an article from Tamil news media about the rice Rakthashaali  We have now started growing the Tamil Nadu varieties like Athur kichilli samba, Vasanai seeraga samba etc..Literally we sold Rathasaali rice to retail customers all over India from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and West Bengal to Gujarat.

рокродி, рокроЪு - роиிро▓ைроХро│் states / levels of the almighty and the atma

рокродி роиிро▓ைроХро│்

 There are 4 levels god has

1. роЪொро░ுрок роиிро▓ை soruba 

    This level is beyond comprehension of human intelligence however high the intelligence may be.

2. родроЯрод்род роиிро▓ை Thadatha 

    2a роЕро░ுро╡ роиிро▓ை - with out form 

          роЙрогро░ роороЯ்роЯுрооே рооுроЯிропுроо் роиிро▓ை can only be felt

         Multitude of gods - Siva, Sadasiva, Mageshwaran, Rudhran...


рокроЪு роиிро▓ைроХро│் (18)

There are 18 levels in which atma can be in

1. роХேро╡ро▓ роиிро▓ை Kevala level

    роЖрогро╡род்родாро▓் роХроЯ்роЯுрог்роЯ роиிро▓ை due ignorance encompassed by ego immovable, frozen kevala level. At this level pasu is immobilised. As it is a роЕро▒ிро╡ு (has intelligence) рокொро░ுро│் it starts feeling...ро╡ெро▒ுрок்рокு роПро░்рокроЯ்роЯு, роХேро╡ро▓ роиிро▓ைропிро▓ிро░ுрои்родு ро╡ிроЯுрокроЯ ро╡ிро░ுрок்рокு родோрой்ро▒ுроо். роЗрои்роиிро▓ைропிро▓் рокродி родрой் роХро░ுрогை рооிроХுродிропாро▓் рокроЪு ро╡ிро░்роХ்роХு роЙродро╡ுроо் рокொро░ுроЯ்роЯு родрой்роиிро▓ைропிро▓் роЗро░ுрои்родு роЗро▒роЩ்роХி ро╡рои்родு 35 роХро░ுро╡ிроХро│ை рокுроЯ்роЯி (родройு, роХро░рог, рокுро╡рой,рокோроХроЩ்роХро│் роХொроЯுрод்родு) роЙрог்рооை роЙройро░ுроо் рокொро░ுроЯ்роЯு (роЙро▓роХுроХ்ро╡ைроХு) роЕройுрок்рокி ро╡ைроХ்роХிро▒ாрой்.

God is all present, all pervading, all mighty but as he is away from desire he doesn’t directly bail out atma (pasu) from miseries (maya). He provides all engines to make pasu realise truth and achieve bliss. In the next level роЙропிро░் роиிро▓ை.

(There are 15 levels at which atma operates in sakala level) one needs to understand them (15) to consciously cross the levels. 

There are 3 major levels in sakala level

They are 

1. роХீро┤ாро╡ிрод்родை, 2. роород்родிропாро╡ிрод்родை, 3.рооேро▓ாро╡ிрод்родை

In each of the 3 major level there are 5 sub levels

As follows

1. ро╡ிро┤ிрок்рокு, 2. роХройро╡ு 3. роЙро▒роХ்роХроо் 4. родுро░ிропроо் 5. родுро░ிропாродீродроо்

1. Wakeful state, 2. dream state, 3. deep sleep state 4. Thuriam, 5. Thuriyathitham 

Now lets look at examples of  роХீро┤ாро╡ிрод்родை with its 5 sub levels

       1. ро╡ிро┤ிрок்рокு роиிро▓ை - роЪро░ாроЪро░ி роЕройுрокро╡роо் 35 роХро░ுро╡ிроХро│ுроо் роЗропроЩ்роХுроо் - роЗрои்роЙроиிро▓ைропிро▓் роЙропிро░் рокுро░ுро╡ роород்родிропிро▓் роиிро▓ை рокெро░ுроо். Wakeful state all 35 engines work. Atma resides between eye brows.

       4. родுро░ிропроо் - рооропроХ்роХ роиிро▓ை - 1. роЙропிро░் , 2. рокிро░ாрогрой் роЗро╡ை роЗро░рог்роЯு роороЯ்роЯுрооே роЗропроЩ்роХுроо். рооропроЩ்роХி ро╡ிро┤ிрод்родро╡ро░ுроХ்роХு родாрой் роОро╡்ро╡ாро▒ு рооропроХ்роХрооுро▒்ро▒ோроо் роОрой்ро▒ு родெро░ிропாродு. роЗрои்роЙроиிро▓ைропிро▓் роЙропிро░் роорогிрокூро░роХрод்родிро▓் роиிро▓ை рокெро░ுроо். At Thuriam, only Atma ? and breathing exists. When a person wakes up from fainting he doesn’t remember what happened to him. Chintha is shutoff too. Atma ? Resides at manipuraham below naval / solar plexus.

        5. родுро░ிропாродீродроо் - роЗрои்роиிро▓ைропிро▓் роЙропிро░் роороЯ்роЯுрооே роЗропроЩ்роХுроо் рокிро░ாрогрой் родроЯைрокроЯ்роЯுро╡ிроЯுроо். рокாроо்рокு роХроЯிро╡ுрог்роЯро╡ро░்роХро│், роиீро░ிро▓் рооூро┤்роХிропро╡ро░்роХро│். роЗрои்роЙроиிро▓ைропிро▓் роЙропிро░் рооூро▓ாродாро░род்родிро▓் роиிро▓ை рокெро░ுроо். At Thuriyathitham only atma? Alone will be there. When bitten by snake, or drowned Atma goes snd resides at Muladhara between Anus and Genital even breathing stops. At this level still the person can be brought back to life. Garudabavana for snake bite will get the patient to life back again. Artificial breathing can bring drowned person back to life.

All the 5 above states in kelavithai can be experienced in madyavithai also. There are no words or comparison to explain Experience one get at the third state - Melavithai’s 5 levels…when the level of thuriathitham at melavithai is reached the entire knowledge of universe, energy of para sivam and parvathi flows into one and one become part of the almighty.

Audible - Corona False Alarm ?

 
The above book is an international best seller. Dr Reiss & Dr Bhakdi have varied expertise as MD, Microbiologist, professor etc.  The summary of the book is
1. No doubt Corona is a virus that is contagious and is affecting human life.
2. But the governments and the main line media had too much of voice and went about doing all acts that were unnecessary and the effect of economy is much more a serious problem than corona itself.
3. They keep telling all through the book that lockdown   could have been avoided. Many countries like iceland, Sweden, Hong Kong, South Korea and even Japan (as per the book) were transparent, kept the citizens aware of the disease and went about the business with out stringent lockdown measures and the number of cases reported and deaths are not too very different from countries that had stricter lockdown measures.
4. There had been no effective vaccines for flu and so extending the same to Corona too as the virus keeps mutating there is no real vaccine available and people are being vaccinated with out telling them the future impacts.
5. Similar cases of swine flu vaccines have rendered many with brain disease.
6. Countries like Germany ЁЯЗйЁЯЗк that have prudently stopped GMO produce are now vaccinating humans with Gene ЁЯзм modified vaccines. Which is ridiculous foolish as per the authors.

The last four engines of prakritimayay

 The last 4 engines if prakriti mayay that pathi has given to pasu to help pasu realise truth are

1. Manasu - helps decipher / understand

2. Puthi - helps know good or bad

3. Ahankaram - helps seek what is in it for me

4. Sitham - un sullied memory. According to avvaiyar god is shown / seen in Sitham ( роЪிрод்род்род்родிрой் роЙро│்ро│ே роЪிро╡ро▓ிроЩ்роХроо் роХாроЯ்роЯி )

The roles micro nutrients play in your life.

Not just physical health, as physical health has direct relationship with mental health, scaling high in academics, sports , career and in spiritual wellbeing, just as macro nutrients (Carbohydrates, Protein & Fat), micro nutrients play a major role. A continuous intake of Celery and Parsley juice will show you the immediate result after consumption of these juices. 

I have seen my confidence levels going up. Apart from the physical  improvement I see over a period.

Seed activation - Food posts

 

Seeds and nuts are designed by nature to sprout into trees / plants. Inorder to preserve them from insects and worms nature had provided them with a layer of toxins,  so that insects and worms do not eat them away when they are in the soil to germinate. Seeds and nuts hold lots of essential nutrients that the human body needs. While seeds can be had to augment body’s nutrient requirements, they need to be activated to increase their bio availability. The above chart gives time required to make the seeds / nuts be more bioavailable. If you are interested in knowing the time needed for groundnut / peanut ЁЯеЬ it is 6 to 8 hours soaking in water to make them more bioavailable . This soaking also removes the pitham in groundnuts. Enjoy!!  Click hear to know the soaking time for various nuts and seeds (as recommended by Food Matters) https://drive.google.coM/file/d/1xKmdBbPjkplW9o6GXnkR46G0Lh0o7iBK/view?usp=drivesdk

Food additives to avoid

 




While detoxing is trending people are not fully aware of the root cause of the toxicity in the body. It is the food that we take infested with factory made chemicals that the body does not know how to process and eject out accumulate as toxins in the body.

Gist of Saiva Siddhantham - As understood by Gowrisankar Namasivayam

What ever I could gather on Saiva Siddhantham due to my several years of listening to Thirumanthiram discourse by Sivakumar Ayya in Youtube and CD recordings and discussions with my dad and mom who had told and discussed many a spiritual aspects from time to time from my childhood. 

Unlike Vedhantam Saiva Siddhantham believes in Duality.

Saiva Sidhantham 

Some of the seilient points of Saiva Sidhantham are

1.  No one knows the genesis of  those 3 things that were the only things that existed at the start of the universe. They are as follows      

     A) Pathi

     B) Pasu

     C) Pasam

     Pathi (the almighty) is knowledgable and is the one that knows all by itself.

     Pasu (the athma) is knowledgable but only if the almighty (pathi) helps.

     Pasam (desire) is not knowledgable at all. It is inanimate. 

2.  After seeing the sufferings of atma (due to its preoccupation with desire), pathi decides to help atma realize the truth, so that atma can come out of its sufferings and attain blissful state. In order to educate and make atma realize the truth, pathi decides to provide atma with necessary engines, so that atma uses these engines to realize the highest truth, that being in unison with pathi is the one and only salvation, to tide over the sufferings and ultimately come out of the birth cycle and attain mukthi.

3. There are 36 thatvas (engines) that pathi provides athma to experience the truth.

4. The 36 thatvas, bottom up are as follows

    1 - 5 - the punja boothas 

         1. Earth, 2. Water, 3. Fire, 4. Air, 5. Space

    6 - 10 - thanmathirai

          1. Smell, 2. Taste, 3. Sight, 4. Sense of touch, 5. Sound

    11 - 15 - gnanenthrium

          1. Nose, 2. Tounge, 3. Eyes, 4. Skin, 5. Ears

     16 - 20 - karmenthrium

          1. Hands, 2. Legs, 3. Ability to speak, 4. Excretion outlet, 5. Reproductive outlet.

      21 Manasu

      22 Budhi

      23 Ahankaram

      24 Sitham

      The above 24 thatvams of overall 36 thatvams is called / are from prakritimayay.

      The 7 asudhamayay thatvams are as follows

       0. Mayay

       1. Kalai (gnanam)

       2. Vithai (kriyay) ро╡ிрод்родை 

       3. Passion (itchai)

       4. Time (neeram)

       5. Space (neyathi)

       6. Purudan (above 1-5 is called panjakanjugam ( dress ) for athma, panjakanjugam + athma is called purudan.

         The 5 Sudha thatvams are as follows top down

       1. Sadhasivan

       2. Maheswaran

       3. Ruthiran

       4. Vishnu

       5. Brahma

       All the above 5 are all various status of atma, but due to their mastery / control over the prakritimayay & Asudhamayay have entered into Sudhamayay. Every Atma has the potential to raise upto Sudha thatvas.

Some exponents have included 2 more elements to 5 Sudha thatvam    1. Parasivam(Natham), 2. Parasakthi(Vinthu).

5. Above all 36 thatvam is Paraparasivam in Paraveli 

6. How to cross all the 36 thatvams and attain mukthi ?

    By having control over the 24 prakritimayay one enters the Asudhamayay. -Read Seerkazhi Sitrambalanadigal's "Thugalaru Bodham" vurai for more details

    One's gnana guru appears when one crosses prakritimayay and one enters Asudhamayay, to redeem the athma from Karma and ego(anavam).

7. As one crosses each thatvam the atma attains (super)natural powers. Saivam insists not to get diverted when attaining such powers as they might delay the attainment of Mukthi. During the exercise (Sadhana) to help cross the thatvas, There are stages when ones ego might make one feel he/she is the god. One need to be cautious of the same and should always have in mind that atma has no knowledge unless the knower(almighty) lets the atma know and realise truth.

8. Even after attaining mukthi atma should realise that it is because of the knower that the atma is enjoying the bliss.

As you can see from the above that Saivam is in support of duality unlike Advaitam that proposes atma  when refined it becomes paramatma or the god. But Saivam always says that the atma can only reach to the Knower(god) and can never become God. Saiva Siddhanta(m) believes in Duality. The basic premise being if we are one and the same as the creator we would not be messing with us and world like we have been doing. Saiva siddhanta(m) begins saying Pathy,Pasu,Pasam were the three things that existed for eons. Pathy is lord(paramatma) , Pasu is atma & Pasam is love. Paramatma and atma understand(know things). While paramatma is eternaly knowledgeable, atma needs guidance. Atma understands only when shown(explained). Paramatma after seeing the pains that atma undergoes decides to help atma to overcome the pain. 

Saiva Siddhanta philosophy is based mainly on the Saiva Agamas. Vedas are considered to be of general nature and Agamas of special nature to Saivism. Saiva Siddhanta developed as a plausible philosophy in the Tamil land and is considered as the philosophy of the Tamils.

Authoritative texts in Saiva Sidhanta are the fourteen Meykanda Sastra books in Tamil. One of these is Sivagnanbodham which is the primary text in Saiva Siddhanta. The authors of these books are divine inspired saints.  

For a long time it was believed that Saiva religion, like other Indian religions, had its origin with the Vedas. The Mohenjadaro – Harappa excavations of the last century proved that Saivism and Siva worship existed before the Vedic period. Following words of Sir John Marshall testifies to this: 

‘Among the many revelations that Mohenjadaro and Harappa have in store for  us,  none perhaps is more remarkable than this discovery that Saivism has a history  going back to the chalcolithic age’ – John Marshall 

The Saiva religion and its philosophy are praised highly by scholars.

                 ‘Saivism is the oldest pre-historic religion of S. India’ – G.U.Pope 

                 ‘One of the most closely reasoned religious philosophies found anywhere in             

                  the world’. – John H. Piet

Shri Subhash Palekarji Natural Farming - Knowledge Share

After attending the Natural Farming workshop conducted by Shri Subhash Palekarji at Trichy SRM campus, I felt the need of a web site for sharing the NF techniques and hence this website. Thanks to all those who share their knowledge in the whatsapp groups, it is their relevant responses that I have published here and it is the sole responsibility of any person to try it cautiously on their own risk and respond back with feedback to benefit others interested in following SPNF.

A trip to Singapore

While my first foreign country visit was Singapore ( On my way to Chiang Mai - Thailand, to participate in the SAP user conclave 14th Oct 1995 to 21st Oct 1995 ), this was my first visit to Singapore with Kala & Shalini. For all practical purpose I would still call this one week 5th Jan to 12th Jan 2008 visit as the first Singapore visit as this visit was not official and was purely to see Sigapore.

Some of the photos that we took at Mustafa, Jurong bird sanctuary, Centosa Island - Dolphin show & Laser show

The highlight of the trip was the well connected Tube Train across Sigapore. Shalini learnt how to use the Tube Train optimally for us to go around Singapore during the week long stay. Our hotel, where we stayed was in a walk able distance from a tube station.

Yoga - Why one should learn and practice Yoga ?

Why one should learn and practice Yoga ?

While it is mandatory to learn yoga only through 1 on 1 in person from a guru, the Upa yoga explained here from Isha yoga center can be learnt through the below videos and practiced. The key is regular practice. Ensure you do the below Upa yogas for 60 days regularly then you would never be able to stop doing them every day. All the very best.


Upa yoga instructions : https://youtu.be/QjGF2MLdIz8

Seven levels of consciousness - the scale to measure your progress

Consciousness levels

1. Sleepconsciousness   - even when you are fast asleep you respond when one pinches you, when there is loud noise, or when the house is on fire. You are not aware of the conciousness but it still exists at sleep state.
2. Dream conciousness - in your dream you feel the experience is real, but when you wake up you know that was a dream.
3. Awake conciousness (Wakefulness) - since you are experiencing, you feel all those you see, feel, smell and hear are all permanent. But they are not just like the dream state and you realise that when the real awakening happens.
4. Soul conciousness - as you read this blog observe who is reading it. Continuous practise on this state in all your actions makes you aware you are not the body or the mind.
5. Divine conciousness - Expansion of soul conciousness brings you to divine conciousness, where you start experiencing events such as synchronicity etc.
6. Cosmic conciousness - this is a state when you start seeing cosmos in each and every thing around you. People, animals, trees, things etc.
7. Unity conciousness - the stage is also called enlightened state, when you see all things around you are expands of yourself. You are passionate on what you do, you are compassionate.
