badar Singh in a kingdom the King was very kind just and fair he had two queens both of whom were very beautiful but also very cruel despite their beauty they shared the king's religious nature the king loved justice so much that his subjects never suffered as he had formed a cabinet with nine ministers each Minister was assigned to a department responsible for ensuring the people's food supply and different tasks were distributed among them the king gave such strict instructions that anyone negligent in their work would be sentenced to death because of this the cabinet ministers worked with great honesty and whenever the king had to deliver Justice he did so impartially understanding both sides deeply and making a fair decision because of this the people of the Kingdom were very happy and every week the king would tour the kingdom during these visits all the villagers were gathered to report how much grain was in each household and whether or not there was food in every home the king's Arrangements ensured that his subjects lived prosperous lives the kingdom ran very smoothly and the people were satisfied due to this happiness the people always praised the king similarly one day during a gathering a farmer and his wife approached the king and said Maharaj today we have a serious problem please solve our issue the king said tell me what is the matter the farmer responded I have two sons and they are very young about 26 or 28 years old at most but they look as if they are 60 their hair is falling out their stomachs are growing and they have become very lazy they don't do any work we have tried many medicines but there has been no improvement the king replied all right and ordered his min ministers the sons of this farmer should be treated by the Royal Physician and the expenses should be covered by the state treasury the minister followed the orders and the physician treated the farmer's Sons using funds from the treasury however after a long period of treatment the farmer returned to the Gathering and said Maharaj there has been no relief my sons are still the same the king said very well we will will think about this while pondering the situation another couple arrived also crying with the same problem gradually the issue escalated and one by one more than half of the villagers approached the king leaving him bewilder he immediately called for an emergency meeting declaring that it was imperative to resolve this issue in the state he ordered a full investigation to determine why the Youth of the state were looking prematurely old and exhausted the king mandated that action must be taken urgently with everyone going door Todo to uncover the cause of this phenomenon all the famous healers were summoned and an emergency meeting was held to discuss the matter the king addressed the healers giving them 10 days to investigate and identify the disease affecting every household or the cause behind this problem the king promised that whoever discovered the exact diagnosis of this condition would be rewarded with a kingdom all the Nobles got to work going from house to house investigating day and night for 10 days afterward in a State Assembly all the Royal Physicians and healers gathered the king asked each healer for their findings but despite their efforts none had found a solution then an elderly healer around 125 to 130 years old stood up and said Maharaj based on our findings I feel there is an issue with our lifestyle and diet and that is why this is happening however we do not have a clear solution for this the King was perplexed to hear this from the elderly healer who was 13 years old then the king said what will be the solution to this problem now you must tell us the solution as well because we have been living with this distress for a month our people have been worried for the past month and seeing this we too are restless even my hair has begun to fall out in our family whether it's the Queens the princes the princesses or anyone else everyone is facing this issue after all everyone is concerned please tell me the solution then the rash Vidia stood up with folded hands and said to the king please forgive us but we do not have a solution for this however there is one person who does have the solution to all these problems if if we summon that healer then all the issues of your kingdom will be resolved and all the illnesses will disappear forever no one else has the solution but him the king said heiler quickly tell me let's not delay such an important matter tell me as soon as possible great man what is the name of this wise person we will invite him to our kingdom the Healer replied forgive me Maharaj but we do not know where he lives he must be preaching in some state send your soldiers throughout the kingdom have them search for the state in which Mahatma Buddha is preaching where and when is he giving his sermon only he has the solution to this problem and no one else does as soon as the king heard the Royal healer's words he ordered his most capable minister to find Mahatma Buddha as soon as possible and bring him to the kingdom with respect and honor this is our strict order take all the necessary spies and quickly find out in which state Mahatma Buddha is currently preaching he will come I am sure send our message and tell him that the emperor is calling him if he doesn't come inform me and I will go to see him myself with my concerns all the ministers immediately dispersed in all directions after much effort they discovered that Mahatma Buddha was giving a sermon in a very distant place the ministers went there paid homage to Buddha and said Lord Buddha our King has summoned you a great illness has fallen Upon Our Kingdom will you please come with us Mahatma Buddha being so kind and joyful always had a single wish that all living beings on this Earth should be healthy and happy in his mind there was no deceit no one was deceived no one was sad and everyone should live laughing as soon as he heard the soldiers he said why don't we go immediately Mahatma Buddha agreed to go to the kingdom with the minister and his disciples accompanied him as well the king warmly welcomed Mahatma Buddha to the court greeted him respectfully and invited him with honor then the king said to Mahatma Buddha Lord our people are very joyful and happy but today a great burden has befallen them a Calamity has struck when Calamity Falls upon them it falls upon us too these are not just subjects they are our family please solve all the problems the king praised Mahatma Buddha and the Mahatma was very impressed by the king's thoughts and ideas smiling he said why not this is nothing everything will be fine all the people have brought these problems upon themselves hearing this the king smiled and said sir such a big problem and you say it's nothing the king then said all right Guru do whatever is necessary please heal our people a disciple who was in front of Mahatma Buddha stepped forward when Buddha signaled him the disciples said oh Raja give us an open space in your state where all the inhabitants can gather a place with open air natural sunlight natural wind and a golden atmosphere tomorrow at 4 in the morning we will begin treating the people but before we start you must issue an order in your state that all the inhabitants including yourself must be present at that place starting tomorrow a sermon will be delivered to all the people and these teachings will continue for 12 days during these 12 days all your subjects will regain their health the King was very pleased to hear this from the disciples mouth in just 12 days the king said all right any expenses required will be covered by our treasury then the disciples said there will be no expenses Maharaj you can rest assured simply give a strict order to your subjects that if they do not arrive by 4 a. m. they will be punished the king implemented this order and said everyone must be there tomorrow morning the king chose a very suitable place and said tomorrow all the people must arrive at this place we will also go and listen to the thoughts of Mahatma Buddha we will follow everything Mahatma Buddha says and our spies will watch over the houses anyone who does not follow the instructions will be punished in the assembly after declaring this all the people greeted the king and said no Maharaj we will all be present there everyone greeted Mahatma Buddha and departed the meeting for the day was adjourned and Mahatma Buddha's sermon was scheduled for the next day everyone arrived at 4:00 a.
m. to listen to Mahatma Buddha's sermon then Mahatma Buddha signaled to his disciple in the assembly and the disciples stood up up and said starting tomorrow the people of the entire state must begin drinking two to three glasses of warm water at 4 in the morning after waking up this warm water should be sipped slowly from an earn pot whoever does not follow this instruction will not find relief this was Mahatma Buddha's first sermon this first sermon must be followed and tomorrow the second sermon will be given everyone must follow the sermon and attend the Gathering there once finished the next day all the people were present punctually Mahatma Buddha asked someone from the crowd what happened how many people followed it everyone raised their hands and said we have followed it and today we feel much relief our stomachs have been cleansed well our bodies feel light and we look absolutely healthy then Mahatma Buddha said to the disciple now the second piece of advice is that everyone must go for a walk how much should they walk between 2 to 3 kilom the children and young people should run during this walk and normal people between 40 and 50 years old should walk briskly taking one step per second 60 steps per minute if they can run they should not do so too fast but should run only 2 to three kilomet according to their ability that was the sermon for the second day the meeting resumed the next day and Mahatma Buddha again asked what everyone did during the first two days everyone present raised their hands in agreement the disciple asked how do you feel now they responded Guru we have no illness it feels like we are completely healthy again the disciple said now everyone must do yoga and pranayama according to their ability this includes pranayama like anulom vom he explained how to do anulom vom and how to do suria pranayama the disciple told everyone they should practice these exercises daily for at least 30 to 45 minutes that meeting also ended and the next day another gathering was held where all the people were present after the meeting everyone was asked about their routine and who had followed the instructions they all responded now we feel as though there is no illness we don't need an alarm our eyes automatically open at 4:00 a. m.
hearing this the King was very pleased amazed that his people were healing without the need for money the king immediately rejoiced and told Mahatma Buddha greet him and ask him to stay in our kingdom Lord don't leave from here Mahatma Buddha smiled as his way was always to maintain a joyful attitude and not to worry he then said now that everyone knows about Prana Yoga the next step is that everyone should eat 300 gr of Sev you can eat more but not less after that everyone can continue with their work that day's meeting concluded and was dismissed the next day everyone gathered and they were asked who had felt so much relief everyone responded that they had fully recovered once again the disciple said there is still half of the rule left to fulfill if you follow the entire rule you will have no disease old age will fade and it won't even approach you your masculine strength will remain intact like that of our Mahatma Buddha and your face will remain radiant the disciple then explained the next German listen carefully from tomorrow until 7 or 8:00 a. m. you must eat Sev after that 2 hours later you can eat to fill your stomach just as you do daily but after eating everyone must consume Roy a multigrain Roy meaning a Roy mixed with several grains it must not contain wheat as wheat is not good instead it should contain Millet corn and chickpeas everyone should prepare roe with these three ingredients additionally on the plate there should be a bowl of lentils homemade ghee and a bowl of mixed vegetables according to the season seasonal vegetables are good and edible while offseason vegetables should be stored in the warehouse to preserve them for longer finally 30 minutes after eating everyone should drink a bowl of yogurt if you also include this in your diet then after half an hour of eating add jaggery to the yogurt if you do this your food will digest much more easily the disciple concluded by saying that the sermon for the day had ended and that the next day everyone should attend by following these instructions everyone went happily to their homes following what had been mentioned in the sermon the next day the meeting was held and all the people were present they were asked who had felt so much relief the people responded Lord we have no illness we are completely healed it doesn't seem like we were ever sick the King was overjoyed and said by eating this way everyone has been healed gradually it seems that all have become healthier on their own then the disciple said there is still more listen carefully first of all you must keep in mind that you should not eat and drink at the same time if you have difficulty swallowing the food take small sips of water you can drink water between meals but you must not drink large amounts of water at once you can drink all the water you want but only after 1 hour of eating as everyone has eaten by 10: or 11: in the morning you will probably feel hungry again by 4: or 5: in the afternoon at that time everyone must eat a plate of salad and each person must eat the salad according to their weight for example if someone weighs 50 kg they should eat the salad in proportion to their weight if if someone weighs 60 kg they should eat 300 G if they weigh 70 kg also 300 G and if someone weighs 80 kg they should eat 400 G of salad the salad should contain carrots beets radishes tomatoes and a piece of Ginger additionally three or four cloves of garlic should be added for flavor black salt or roasted cumin can be added if desired you must not eat anything before consuming the salad follow these instructions and return the next day that meeting also ended and everyone went back to their homes following the given rules the next day at 400 p.
m. they were asked how they felt and how their bodies were everyone had Smiles on their faces and their faces Shone like light it seemed as if their declining age had come to an end the King was overjoyed and filled with gratitude knelt before Mahatma Buddha and said Blessed Be You Lord you have healed everyone just with food the king added Maharaj wait there's still much to teach when you finished explaining the entire sermon like our Lord there will be no diseases and no one in our kingdom will ever age the king asked the guru to speak quickly saying tell us everything we need to know I myself feel as though I have no illness now as if I'm 16 years old again I'll tell you what to do at night everyone must have dinner before Sunset because when the sunlight hits our stomach it feels heavy and food digestion becomes slower as sunlight decreases digestion stops that's why ancient sages like Asim Mooney used to eat an hour before Sunset eating early has two benefits first the food begins to digest while we are awake and by the time we go to sleep Digest is almost complete in 3 or 4 hours this ensures restful sleep if you eat late your life will be negatively affected as digestion will be incomplete and you won't be able to sleep well therefore make sure to eat dinner an hour before Sunset and eat light Foods choose multigrain Roy and seasonal vegetables but eat only as much as necessary as if you've barely eaten after an hour drink a glass of milk with 3 G of turmeric the turmeric must be homemade not bought from the market a few hours before bed you should do nothing but sleep and go to bed before 10: p. m.
if you sleep at 10: you'll have a restful sleep and all your food will have digested when you sleep well you will automatically wake up at 4:25 a. m.
