Legend has it that hidden in the remote reaches of the Himalayan mountains lies a secret that would have saved Ponce de Leon from years of fruitless searching for the Fountain of Youth. There, generations of Tibetan monks have passed down a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties. Known as the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation or the Five Rites, these once-secret exercises are now available to Westerners in Ancient Secret of the Fountain Of Youth. Peter Kelder's book begins with an account of his own introduction to the rites by way of Colonel Bradford, a mysterious retired British army officer who learned of the rites while journeying high up in the Himalayas. Fountain of Youth then offers practical instructions for each of the five rites, which resemble yoga postures. Taking just minutes a day to perform, the benefits for practitioners have included increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief, better digestion, and feeling overall more youthful.

It is based on the scientific knowledge of medical sciences of one of the greatest ancient civilizations known to man, the Chinese art of healing. Believe it or not, mankind is still as ignorant of matters regarding health today, as he was 5,000 years ago. Even though he thinks that he is intelligent and is able to get access to large amounts of knowledge on the Internet and from other medias available, the knowledge that he obtains is often misguiding, false, and misleading. And this includes all the knowledge that he is being given about the progresses of medical sciences, in the allopathic medicine field which have been made during the 20th and 21st century. Allopathic medicine supposedly called a science-based medicine is definitely not effective, however much the medical fraternity may say that it has saved millions of lives in the 20th century. That is because once upon a time, chloroquine manufactured in the lab was capable of getting rid of malaria. So people instead of taking quinine-based medicines, which were the natural and effective cure for malaria began to take chloroquine instead because that is what was being recommended to them by doctors. And the next time a person came back suffering from another bout of malaria, he was given another round of Chemoquine or chloroquine manufactured in the labs instead of getting healed naturally through quinine. The symptoms were masked instead of being done away with permanently through these chemical-based drugs. The patient was happy because according to him, he had managed to get through a bout of malaria, without suffering much, because of supposedly effective Chemoquine. But that was not so. Malaria along with other diseases have now appeared and in a more powerful form, with the bacterial invaders mutating and infecting more patients. So what does the supposedly Orthodox medical science do? It manufactures even more powerful drugs so that you take them, get rid of that particular mutated bacterial strain infecting your body, and nobody is going to take the side effects into account.

Download or read book THE SCIENCE OF YOGA MUDRAS written by K. Rangaraja Iyengar and published by Sapna Book House (P) Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga is flying across the shores of Bharatha all over the world like an eagle. The entire humanity needs yoga today. If going after Yoga to get rid of diseases is one dimension, using Yoga to make our body healthy so that we can enjoy material pleasures is the other dimension. This was not what those great Rshis who evolved Yoga had in mind. Yoga is another name for pure living. If man lives, being aware of the purpose for which he was created, what else can it be excepted in Yoga? Human body is a temple. In a larger sense, it is the dwelling place of gods. Whatever one finds in the world is present in the human body. We have 72,000 Nerves in the body, also we have 72,000 Nadies which are subtle channels and centres of energy. We get a detailed account of these in books on Hatayoga. In this background Mudras and Bandhas occupy a place of great significance. We have a considerably difficult challenge to convert this Annamaya body into one, the object of which is Dharma Sadhana. Kalidasa has announced, "Shareeramadyam khalu dharma sadhanam". Our sages have said, "Manaeva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho" Our mind is the cause of both Bandha and Moksha. In that case how can we make use of the techniques available to us to the best of our advantage? "Mudras" help us to keep our body and mind pure and chaste. They are tools to lead us to life fulfilment. When we activate the nerve and nadi centres in the body, they make the flow of energy smooth. Our body is a fantastic machine designed by the Creator. He has set in it a super computer called the 'Brain'. All the activities in our body are controlled by the Mind. The pressure exerted on certain key points in the body and in hands, energises the centres in the brain. We have come to know this truth as a result of experiments conducted in different parts of the world. Acupressure specialists assert that if we activate certain points in the legs, hands and ears, we can ward off a number of disorders of the body. In our ancient Tantra Marga we hear about "Khechari Mudra". During five thousand years after sage Vedavyasa, our ancestors have devised a number of ways to help man keep himself fit. They are simple and workable. We get a sea of information about Mudra Science in a number of books on Yoga shastra and Tantra Shastra. In a few of our epics also, we get references to these Mudras.
