Every living being derives oxygen from plants and trees, which liberate oxygen during photosynthesis.It is the process of synthesizing food in the presence of sun light by the chlorophyll present in the leaves. Water is also transpirated by green plants and trees in liquid form through the leaves. Plants and trees are are the rich sources of food and they provide Energy to all living beings.

All living beings release carbon dioxide during respiration. This carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants during synthesis of carbohydrates and liberates oxygen which is highly essential for life, to all the animal kingdom. All living organisms depend on plant kingdom for shelter, clothing, food, medicine and what not ! All daily needs are satisfied by the plants and trees. So nodoubt plants and trees are thr true visible Gods on this planet Earth. Life without plant kingdom cannot be imagined !

PYRAVASTU - A REVOLUTION

PYRA Vastu - A MIRACULUS REVOLUTION.

‘PyraVastu’ is a practicle art to harmonise, Mind,Body, and Spirit with the Environment, by just placing pre-programmed ‘Pyramid Yantra’ at appropriate locations; to achieve Health,Happiness and Prospirity.

Pyra Vastu is ideal for correcting Vastu and Feng Shui defects without physical alteration, shifting, or breaking Home, Shop, or Factory. Actually ‘Pyramid’ is an ‘ Energy Center’. In Greek terminology, ‘Pyra’ means ‘Fire’, and ‘Amid’ means ‘Central Portion’.That denotes,Energy rises from the central portion.
PyraVastu is a highly modern,more dynamic and very active way of getting ‘Good’ from all sides. Prof.Dr.Jiten Bhatt done lot of research for about twenty five years and designed this revolutionary new vastu concept, perhaps this is first of its kind in the world. The main aim of pyravastu is to absorb the ‘ Life Force Energy’ that is secretly hidden in the Universe. Some call it is ‘ Pye Energy’. Pyravastu is highly beneficial to overcome Emotional, Physical and Psychological pressures.

Pyravastu is the efficient management of this pyenergy net work to bring about a positive awareness in and around us. ‘Pyravastu’ is complimentary to vastu and Fengshui but its dynamic action starts exactly at the opposite end. It is just like using Medicine and Meditation for achieving health. Vastu and Fengshui is more like offering solutions for outer visible end, like thousands of branches and leaves. Pyravastu deals with the roots or vital force, behind all action within it. It is a totally innovative concept of subtle level correction with Pyramid Yantras based on Mind over matter.It deals with our inbuilt power and ability of Mind- Body- Emotion. This powerful intention at the core level induces energy within us. Thus.subtle energy level correction is more powerful than that done by material or physical means. The first principle in Pyravastu is that of Mind over Matter. Mind is more powerful than body in the same way Energy is more powerful than matter, Yantra is more powerful than constructions and center is more powerful than Yantra.

Pyravastu has benefited 2.5 million people in just thirty years. Prof.Dr.Jiten Bhatt has made a deep study of Egyption,Indian, Mexican, and other ancient concepts Of Mind Power Tools (MPT). After yers of research in these MPT’s like Pyramids, Yantras, Symbals and Mandalas and many others, he invented this totally new revolutionary powerful tool, ‘Pyramid Yantra’. This Pyramid Yantra looks quite similar Egyption Pyramids but it’s working principle is very different and can be used for numerous specific purposes.

He designs this new system in such a practical way that anybody can implement in their lives
Even for better solutions of day to day problems. Pyramid Yantra works at the core of all things and beings in existence and hence helps in creating balance and harmony at the core of all our problems. It is a versatile MPT, which can aid where the materialistic Sciences cannot offer much help.

This new MPT can be used in symbiosis with anyother discipline of mental, physical, and emotional wellness. It enhances the effect of any healthy living system like Yoga, Meditation, Healing, Vastu, Fengshui and many others.

Pyravastu yantras eliminate all vastu defects and brings reality in their dreamed lives. By arranging these at proper locations in homes, office, business centers, factories, educational and software institutes brings peace of mind, Happiness, Health, Financial growth , Good family relationship and over all success and development in every walk of life.

Vastu Science: It is nothing but the ancient, mystic architectural science of Indians. In Mayan culture, the Temples resemble the pyramidal structure. Vastu is the gift of Cosmic Energy which man has utilizing for his living and gradually improved and improvised for the pleasure of healthy and harmonious living.

Vastu science brings balance between Nature, Man, and Material. Universe, including our human body, comprises of five essential elements viz; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Sky. The principles of Vastu are mainly based on the arrangement and balancing of these five elements in their proper order and proportions. Among these, ‘Sky’ (Space) element is the unlimited and unidentified stage. We are observing sky and stars. The stars and planets with their mild and strong radiation influence the destiny of Man-Matter-Material. That means the emergence (Srishti), Existence (Sthithi), and Exipiration (Laya) of every thing is influenced by the rotatory movements of the Universe, Stars, Planets and unknown things.

How ‘Pyramid’ acts to bring positive energy:

The Pyramid is a device consists of four isoscaled triangles that are joined together with a common vertex. The vertex of the Pyramid is the point where the cosmic energy is densely concentrated and enters inside the Pyramid. Again this energy is scattered by the five points of the Pyramid ie; the vertex and four corners. This pyramid energy when falls on the subject (Matter), the particles that are disarranged and deformed get themselves arranged uniformely. This change of state of particles of the matter increases the working capacity and effectiveness of the matter. Thus the pyramidal energy purifies the environment surrounding it and also brings affect on the mental activity of the individual at various levels.

Pyramid energy of ten Nano meter power is capable to bring ‘disorder’ to ‘order’, ‘disharmony’ to ‘harmony’, ‘inactive’ to ‘active’, and ‘ill effect’ to ‘wellness’. So Pyramid can be utilized beyond doubt for removal or elimination of ‘Vastu’ disorders, and ‘Vyakti Doshas’(Individual defects). This Science of ‘Pyramidal Energy’ to ward off the ill effects of ‘Vastu Dosha’ is called ‘Pyravastu’. Any irregularity or deformity, bad effects of any kind may be corrected or rectified by placing Pyramid(s) at proper locations.

Pyramidal Architecture:

1. An Architect, Robert Bruce Crucius has erected on such place in Malibu in California. He has taken up this type of construction for a restaurant also.
2. In India, a double decker Pyramidal structure is being used for treatment of patients in the Ambalal Munshi Nature cure Hospital at Vallabah Vidya Nagar, Anand.
3. Bapuji Ashram, at Ujjaini has one Meditation Hall of Pyramid construction .
4. Near Jabalpur, Osho Ashram at ‘Deital’ has wooden pyramids.
5. In Delhi,the capital city of India, the Salpathi Pyramid is quite famous.
6. In Tamilnadu, Pyramidal Health Centers are being run. Late Dr. Kurup used to treat the patients in pyramid huts.
7. In Andhra Pradesh and in other states of India, Pyramid Societies are bestowing tremendous efforts in propagating the importance of Pyramid structures for Meditation and making people to construct roof top Pyramids on their houses for Meditation, Health and Peace of Mind!

Vastu- Some Facts-Vastu Defects- It’s effects:

‘Vastu Shastra’, literally means ‘the Science of Building’. Vastu is not merely calculations and physical dimentions. It is deeply related to Indian Philosophy, religion and Cosmic Eneregy. It is the micro- Built environment of man which deals with permutations and combinations of nine Grahas (Planets), Twelve Rashis (Sun Signs), Twelve Houses and Twenty seven Nakshatras (Constellations). Vastu Sashtra is an age old Science of Architecture developed in India. It is a ‘Vedanga’, a branch of ‘Sthapatya Veda’ which in turn is the part of ‘Yajur Veda’, Hence, Vastu is a Science discovered by our great Saints and Sages to lead human beings to a more happy, healthy and prosperous life.

‘Vastu Shastra’ is practiced and studied under different names in India but the essence remains the same. In North India, ‘Kashyap’s writings are followed where as in South India, especially in Karnataka and Andhra Predesh, ‘Mayan’ is followed. In Tamilnadu ,’Bhrigu Muni’ and other Sidhas are widely accepted. The Sidhas mainly made use of the ‘Navagrahas’ to keep away evil effects from the site or place.

Yoga and Memory

Yoga Methods An integrated approach of yoga (which acts at different sheaths of existence) is necessary for the holistic memory. A variety of yoga techniques are available, which when practiced regularly, bring about the described changes in memory. Techniques for highest memory development (Anandamaya Kosa) Jnana or the wisdom of discrimination with an understanding of the totally is the most important adjunct to memory development at Anandamaya Kosa level. The highest memory development involves being able to retain that wisdom, to maintain a continuous stream of awareness at all points of time and under all situations, and to be in tune with creation. For the most elevated the memory of Atma abounds to such an extent that they never loose aware ness of that Ananda, a state of total expansiveness and blissful awareness, a state of SILENCE within. That is the highest or the most holistic memory achievement. To the extent that such maters become embodied with bliss itself (Anandamaya Kosa). A periodic dip into this oceanic memory of bliss is the enlivening nectar of all our lives, even the most mundane, says the Taittirely Upanishad. Memory development at Intellectual level (Vijnanamaya Kosa) When the mind gets overwhelmed by light tejas (inner light), then dreams are no longer seen. Then there is a surge of happiness. At the level of intellect memory development involves a process of feedback from the intellect with more and more comprehensive understanding of nature, world, Creation and their associated laws. For example, scientists enlarged their vision from classical to quantum mechanics in the process of understanding. The memory of this knowledge changed the earlier wisdom of Newton's laws of motion. Upanishadic wisdom with a knowledge base of the whole creation will replace the memory of the knowledge of quantum physics, to enlarge vision further. That is the memory of the Vijnanamaya Kosa. The technique for memory development at this stage is the Jnana yoga triplet Sravana-manana-nididyasana. Hearing (or reading) about the higher and more comprehensive perspectives of the whole creation - analyzing the same through logic with an open mind without prejudices, disbelief or blind belief as a true scientists and - experimenting through examination, intense search within finding the root of all thoughts are staying between two thoughts. Or asking the question "who am I" this is the search of a scientist. The result of this is a sudden opening members, an activation of the dormant knowledge hidden within.

How To Lose 13 Pounds Of Fat In 2 Weeks

If you've ever been on a diet, you know that losing 13 pounds of fat in 2 weeks is fairly difficult, but today, I'm going to give you the step by step blueprint to lose weight 13 pounds within 15 days.

The 3 components we're going to focus on is nutrition (calorie intake), cardio, and weight training. You will need all 3.

First we'll calculate your calories. Multiply your weight by 10 if you're a man, or multiply by 8 if you're a woman.

This number will be your daily calorie intake for the 2 week period. You'll then begin eating 4-6 small meals per day. To calculate the calories you need per meal, divide your new daily calorie intake by 4, 5, or 6 (however many times per day you plan to eat - but no fewer than 4 if you're a woman, and no fewer than 5 if you're a man).

Once you calculate the calories per meal, you'll need to strategically plan each meal. The best way to go about this is to plan what you'll eat for 2-3 days, and cook those meals in advance. So at this point, you'll have 3 days worth of meals already prepared. If this is too much, you can easily cook each day's meals the night before.

You'll get the majority of your calories from lean meats such as chicken breast, turkey breast, lean hamburger meat, and egg whites. There are other options, but these will be the staple of your protein calories.

The majority of your carbohydrate calories will come strictly from potatoes, sweet potatoes, and brown rice.

During this 2 week period, you're not eating for taste, you're eating to lose fat. Period.

For condiments, stick to ketchup and mustard (honey mustard is okay in moderation). Stay away from any added fat that's not already contained in the protein or carbs you're eating.

Cardio - Interval training is super effective, and is generally recommended to alternate sprints with slow jog or a walk in times of 30 seconds (for sprints), and 20 seconds (for walking/jogging) then alternating the 2 for a set time period.

The problem is that many people can't sprint, and if you haven't sprinted since high school, it will feel like you've been run over by a truck when you're done. Not to mention the risk of injury.

So I've designed an interval training series for non-sprinters. All you'll need is a jump rope and some tennis shoes.

Interval Training

Squat Jump x 20 reps
Jump Rope x 30 seconds
Rest 15 seconds

You'll perform squat jumps for 20 reps, immediately move to jumping rope for 30 seconds, and then immediately rest for 15 seconds. That's 1 round. Complete 4-6 rounds 6 of the 7 days of week 1. Complete 6-10 rounds 6 of the 7 days for week 2.

Weight Training
