For the "less-evolved" ones who have an open mind to evolve:
A large-scale Harvard study, conducted last year, revealed that "the actual, realistic weightage to technical expertise is only 13 per cent!! ..compared to the 87 per cent attributed to soft skills in corporates and graduates today!"
Ironically we need Harvard, Stanford, NY Times or some such brand name credibility to believe the facts...instead of the universal knowledge already shared to the world through the Vedas and scriptures that contributed to India's high, multi-dimensional prosperity quotient, in ancient times! Isn't it ironic...?
If you have understood the point here, then you are already "evolving".
If you wish to fast-track your evolution, and fast-track the evolution of this beautiful planet along the way, enrol for the next YES!+ program. It's for you. And you will find everything you have been searching for so far in life...and much more..
Btw, at the realm of the Self, there is no evolution, the Self is all there is, as it is.

Harvard said this...NYTimes said that... what do you say?
What's common to the MEDIA, POLITICIANS and EKTA KAPOOR? :-)
Some of my friends argue (from lack of anything valuable to contribute to conversation) ...why does ART OF LIVING charge money for the courses?
I gently remind them about how much they have invested (money + time + energy) in their graduation, and how much returns and satisfaction quotient they are reaping today. And the ridiculous disproportion in Investment versus Returns. :-)
And they immediately know that all this is because of the lack of spiritual education so far...
The greatest point to remember is that, "spiritual education" which is the most important aspect of education is often neglected...results are obvious to one and all, and I needn't elucidate that.
Oh, btw spiritual education broadly means "knowledge of self, knowledge about mind, balanced lifestyle with a holistic combination of prosperity"...in fact all spiritual people are prosperous-- in wealth, in thoughts and in magnanimity of attitude.
"Anything that helps you become unconditionally happy and loving is what is called spirituality." ~ Sri Sri
Something I came across recently...and feel I must share with you...
"The idea that all spiritual education should be free, or the notion that spiritual training was free in ancient India is a fallacy. Spirituality is also an education and all education needs to be paid for. Those who know their history know that people in Vedic times had to “invest” far more to get a spiritual education than we do today!
The concept of ''Dakshina'' is from the ancient Vedic times.
The vow of poverty is a concept alien to our land. Here, the primordial Guru, Lord Narayana is wedded to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Material progress goes hand in hand with spiritual growth. There are some pseudo intellectuals and historians who...praise only the dead and abuse the living."
Aptly captured here...

WHAT IS THE MEDIA DOING?
Silly goofy media...
sensationalizes a bullet and not the incredible work done by AOL in more than 165 countries in just 27 years!
politicians are the outdated PJ nowadays...and media is the new joke of the day.
Remember the last time, the media sensationalized that the commisioner's dog has run away....yes we all remember that !
But remember any time that AOL was highlighted for completely transforming Asia's largest slum...or creating a model village (in Maharashtra: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~gumma/inspire/Kapshi.doc) in the history of the world....or Sudarshan Kriya curing thousands of patients from migraine/asthma/depression/homicidal tendencies/Cancer....or how AOL volunteers are still working in tsunami zones and Naxal-torn jungles of Chattisgarh ??
No the media wont portray that...because the media is the new PJ of the planet.
Politicians and media seem to have become the new series of Ekta Kapoor package in real life :-)
Oh, btw...the donations paid for the AOL courses are utilized in thousands of service projects across the world...from disaster relief to rural women empowerment....from free children education to saving the environment.
I'm sure some of you will appreciate this, and invest in your own health (physical, emotional, mental) through the incredibly simple and powerful ART OF LIVING courses (my personal favorite: http://yesplusevents.org/) , and at the same time, contribute to the revolutionary service activities happening through the Art of Living.

Clean Water!
"Once upon a time..." always has a "...Happily Ever After" at the end in reel life and fairytales.
What about in real life?
People who use the newest, "best", most-expensive water filtration systems...well guys this is not for you...because you have already lightened your pockets significantly to the "brand new" water purification system...and what I tell you about next will be a disappointment to your consumer-enthusiasm....
An ancient filtration technique that has near-zero carbon footprint in production and assembly of the system...and something that is way too affordable for anyone from a farmer to a corporate...is what I am talking about...
i discovered this system at the Art of Living International Foundation...and I could only jump in joy...because this is exactly what every small village and every health-conscious consumer would love to have...and this it it!
A product of research on ancient, fool-proof, holistic way of purifying drinking water, this is a joint inititaitve between the Government of India and the Art of Living...and the product is called TERAFIL!
Costing less than 500 INR, this is a boon to many many people who deserve good health and clean drinking water...
To check it out, please contact Dr Ramkrishna Muley - 9342139075

Bangalore's Mall Culture!
THE MARKET
...is awash with rotten apples which go unnoticed to most consumers...most of us look forward to THE Sunday, and when its here, we waste half the day sleeping late (which topsy turvies the biological clock and metabolism...wow! what a dumb thing to do...), and one third of the other half, we waste inside a supermarket....especially if you walk into one of those noisy Big Bazaars...I compare the confusion to what probably chickens feel when they are crammed into cages inside factory farms! Loudspeakers babbling away about last minutes discounts...and frantic mothers trying to parallely manage crying kids and shopping carts @ same time...! and you'll find the local boys loitering inside...passing comments at so-called babes....!
The experience becomes worse when you are more aware of the air inside...its cluttered with thoughts, thoughts, thoughts...all thoughts of confused, weekend-starved professionals...who end up buying junk in that confused state of mind...and the air inside is stiffling! You know that when you step outside........
Personally I feel the shopping mall culture is killing off the good old Bangalore....and another chain of "environment and health" side-effects are on the way because of these malls, the same way that IT has done to Bangalore in the past!
The reasons most people go to malls:
1) Because suddenly you have nothing better to do...
2) You want to meet your friend, at a mall...and once you meet him/her, you both are clueless what to do
3) If your friend is same sex, and you are straight then you'll both stare away at the opposite sex...this is similar to what we have done when we are at home...stare away blindly at the TV..while eating, while studying, while entertaining guests, sometimes even just to fall asleep!!
4) If your friend is same sex, and you both are gays/lesbians, you'll stare at the same sex...LOL
5) If your friend is opposite sex, then you'll do either of the following:
a) You are "just friends" with her, so she'll point out all the so-called hot guys, and you'll point out all the so-called hot girls
b) You "friend" is your girl friend?? Oops...then you'll probably peek glances at the babe who just passed by...a subconscious fantasy will probably make you take a second peep!
6) You want to shop for yourself....apparel...food products...home needs...and in the process you will take home one or more plastic bags which you will dispose irresponsibly! You will fight for your currency change with the autorickshaw wala who drops you home, but you will not fight for the planet nor educate the rest of the zombie shoppers who are also taking plastic bags by the dozens!!
7) You want to eat at McDonald's (or KFC if your love towards your own body and environment is lost!) and feel good about all the goo that's going into your delicate system. And if you are one of those fast-food young mothers who use toilet papers (yuck!), then you will definitely pump your little child's system with generous doses of unhealthy McVeggies, McChicken...I promise you that your child has higher chances of:
a) getting early puberty
b) becoming dumber and dumber at studies
c) becoming more aggressive with age
d) getting chronic diseases: including gastritis, obesity (most common), heart diseases, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, Type 2 diabetes and worst of all, WEAKENED IMMUNITY!
If you tell me, "Oh, but I just take my son/daughter to eat junk "once in a while"."

If you tell me, "Oh, but I just take my son/daughter to eat junk "once in a while"."
I tell you, Every weekend is NOT "once in a while"!
Real communication has become passe, with more and more malls, and their fast food joints spreading like cholera...in fact most conversations nowadays are very focussed....on MONEY or GRATIFICATION. Gratification includes DOING NAUGHTY THINGS ON BED!
Definitions are also changing:
X Love for this funny cult of people is not love any more. It is "making love".
X Contributing to the planet means building software for foreign monopolies, that become cash cows for the already-rich foreign tycoons.
X As children, we played with toys, now most of you have stopped playing with toys...and started playing with human emotions
X Doing a random act of karmic kindness means helping the beggar woman (who will in turn give the money to her drunkard husband)
X Music means loud, metal, anti-Christ bands who exhibit suppressed emotional imbalances at rock shows, and invite a couple of alcohol brands as well to heighten the short-term madness
X Quality time with parents means dragging them to the nearest mall to buy you that latest watch or jewellery or gadget.

Bangalore and its mall culture (includes fast food, rock bands, smoky pubs) are drugging the minds of promising youth...
...Software code is more poetic than Rabindranath Tagore's poetry
...Bloody Mary and McDowell's is more refreshing than healthy herbal juices
...Junk food is more gratifying than home-made organic food
...Singing about heartbreaks (followed by getting drunk) is more soothing than spending time meditating or helping someone
...Urban Agriculture means Farmville on facebook
...Higher grades in high school mean a promising engineer or doctor or lawyer (as if we don't have enough unemployable ones already)
What is the purpose of your life?
To get into IIT? To get out of IIT? To get into Infosys? To get out of Infosys? To get married and create a generation of fast-food dependant children? To leave a huge property behind that has your younger generations spilling blood over?
Is the purpose of your life to struggle?
Is the purpose of your life to:
- lose health working for a foreign MNC?
- lose self-esteem by becoming a successfully "placed" MBA?
- lose the priceless wealth of Vedic scientific knowledge that has survived millenniums, and inspired scientists and world leaders since the times of Archimedes?
- lose the spirituality that has held together the magnanimity of the Indian civilization: the most prosperous, the oldest and the most welcoming of all civilizations?
If you want to break the chain, and do something worthy of becoming a legend...start with something very simple. And the simplest thing is to love yourself more, enrol for an Art of Living YES!+ workshop, do good to this planet, and care for more and more people around you. You will live a regret-free life that will inspire many lives around you.

Are you a college goer?
A fresher?
A corporate professional who picked up smoking during college days and the peer pressure of "acting" cool?
A rebel who rebels in all the wrong ways that cause long-term damage to your own health?
And for the intelligent people like me and you too (if you are a non-smoker and you meditate everyday), we know what a HIGH meditation gives to the system! It is intoxicating.
By meditation, I mean the real meditation. Cos most people have this misconcept about meditation:
"close your eyes and imagine toony lights...concentrate..Concentrate...CoNcEnTrAtE! cOnCeNtRaTe! ConncennnTrAAteee!!! Boom! Bang! KaBoooommm! "
I'm sure you'll wake up with a splitting headache and disappointment because you didn't see disco lights going zigzag with eyes closed...No! thats not meditation. Meditation as GuruJi says, is "DE-CONCENTRATION"! and the EFFECT of meditation is "CONCENTRATION".
So simply relax, call any Art Of Living volunteer, and register for a YOUTH EMPOWERMENT and SKILLS (YES!+) WORKSHOP (if you are young at heart!). I promise You, it'll be the best investment you'll have ever made in your life.
Time to Re-Live the few beautiful remaining years of this life in the Best Way! Let's learn the Art Of Living!

I am sure after reading this blog by Jitesh, you will re-think why you started smoking in the first place. And why not meditation?
Simply because it is a sincere and innocent request to stop smoking and start re-living! :-)And for the intelligent people like me and you too (if you are a non-smoker and you meditate everyday), we know what a HIGH meditation gives to the system! It is intoxicating.

What is killing India?
What is killing India?
Peep into this post and give yourself a weekend reality check....
· Pesticides and fertilizers- India is the world’s largest user of fertilizers and pesticides. Look at Bangalore: sparrows have dwindled, no doubt. But now, even the crows say No to the city.
India has been the country with the most advanced forms of irrigation and most holistic way of agriculture. Ancient Indian agriculture systems like the Vedic Farming alone, yields far more superior crops, fruits and vegetables, than any damned fertilizer or pesticides any scientist can create…and without the damage that is caused by fertilizers and pesticides.
What happened after Independence?? “Independence"?...where’s the Independence?
· Genetic Engineering- Just the south of India alone grows 150 varieties of rice! The smart way of agriculture is to grow different crops at different times on same soil…one type of crop enriches the soil for the next different type of crop to grow, thus allowing the soil to recuperate.
…But GM crops turn the agricultural soil sterile, and do not allow other crops to grow. This destroys the precious earth and leaves the farmers and the government defenseless at mercy of patenting laws. Patenting laws prevent farmers from saving crops.
· Plastic: Who invented the damned plastic? The world lived just as comfortably before plastic was invented.
· Bureaucrats: In terms of education quotient, politicians share the lesser blame compared to the so-called educated bureaucrats who are sucking up India and using politicians as pawn. If you feel responsible towards your country, what can you do? Write your Civil Services exam, become a responsible IAS officer. And while you are doing that, come to an Art Of Living workshop, tap enormous personal energy levels and broaden your capacity to take responsibility for yourself and for this planet.
· Education: We have enough unemployable, and poorly conditioned lawyers, engineers and doctors in this country: we don’t want anymore! We need our ancient system of education back which the British systematically wiped out, so that they could fuel religious feuds, misconstrue the caste system, train Indians as lab rats who learn the following plagiarisms:
o Galileo discovered that the Earth goes round the Sun’s orbit. (WRONG)
o Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity. (WRONG)
o Pythagoras discovered (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab. (WRONG)
o Oppenheimer discovered the atomic bomb. (WRONG)
o Drs. Steptoe and Edwards invented artificial insemination. (WRONG)
o Archimedes of Syracuse discovered the value of “Pi”. (WRONG)
o …I could go on and on.
All of the above and more were inventions or discoveries already made by ancient Indian scientists who were also spiritually enlightened meditators...such is the magnanimity of the world's grandest and most prosperous ("prosperous" in all senses) civilizations.
The bottom line is, our real Indian education system of Gurukul was systematically stolen by the English centuries ago, and plagiarized to form the Catholic system of modern education, and enforced upon us and the rest of the world during their colonization conquests.
· English medicine (alopathy): Given the plethora of negative side-effects on the body and continual abuse of environmental resources, pharma companies have no real claims to philanthropy, except that English medicines come handy only in emergency situations when it is ok to pop a pill. Some facts here for Indian consumers.
You thought painkillers were a fantastic invention? Wrong! Painkillers dilute the nervous system’s ability to experience real pain in the pain areas of body. It simply postpones the cause of the disease.
You thought anti-depressants are the best boon to mankind?
Wrong! Anti-depressants (...and psychiatrists) only postpone chronic depression to a later time, and this only snowballs into worse depression and suicidal/homophobic tendencies. What’s the solution? No brownie points for guessing: It is MEDITATION.
If you are stressed or depressed, Sudarshan Kriya Yoga alone can solve the problem. If you are not stressed or depressed, Sudarshan Kriya Yoga alone can give you that extra energy burst (with heightened awareness) to do more in less time, at work or at home.
You thought alopathy cures the disease?
No! Alopathy in most cases treats just the SYMPTOMS, not the root cause. :-(
What’s the cure?
Meditation and ayurveda.
Ayurveda attacks the CAUSE behind a disease, not the symptoms. And with zero side-effects…zero environment footprints.
And Panchkarma treatment ensures that diseases cannot touch your subtle body (that’s where diseases start incubating)
I couldn’t have found a better explanation of disease and health:
"Dis-ease occurs when any level of our existence is not at ease. Health is a disease-free body, a quiver-free breath, a stress-free mind, illusion-free intellect and obsession-free memory, an ego that includes all and a soul that is free from sorrow." – Sri Sri
· Computer Games: This doesn’t need elaboration. We all know what it has done to whole generations of kids and teenagers across the globe! some facts
· Junk Food: Carbonated drinks drain the body’s precious calcium and weaken digestion. Junk fast food: we all know what it does. I am amused that all we took from the west was coke and burgers, whereas in fact, we have much more to learn:
ü Team work from the Japanese
ü Precision from the Germans
ü Presentation and marketing from the Americans
ü Frankness and warmth from the Africans
ü Etiquette and manners from the British
ü Human and spiritual values from the Indians.
...choose a healthy lifestyle. Life is about living, and living is an art. ;-)
Wake Up! SPEAK OUT
(This video also features valuable comments of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who besides being a guide to billions worldwide on holistic and people-centric sustainable science, is also educated on ancient vedic science and modern science. He is a visionary with unquestionable integrity, and an all-encompassing, loving, caring concern for this entire planet and all its life forms.)
I am not against GE per se. GE can be applied to human gene therapy, they can be creating medicines in a laboratory under very carefully watched conditions. BUT WE SHOULD NOT feed the products of an infant science to millions of people.
- Jeffrey M Smith
Founder, Institute for Responsible Technology
If you look at GM food from the perspective of a simple human being, not a biotechnologist, or a scientist or an activist,...and you ask yourself:
From all the evidence discovered about the REAL threat of GM food to you, to me, to all people on this planet...would you still support GM food that has NOT been sufficiently tested by neutral bodies???
From all the evidence discovered about the REAL threat of GM food to you, to me, to all people on this planet...would you still support GM food that has NOT been sufficiently tested by neutral bodies???
You and I know that trials of GM foods on lab animals across the world have repeatedly shown that they cause bleeding stomachs, and adversely affect brain, lungs, liver, kidney, pancreas and intestine. They have been even linked to higher offspring mortality and causing infertility.
As the most evolved, visible beings on this planet with sufficient intelligence, we are directly responsible for OUR ACTIONS AS WELL AS INACTIONS.
I am responsible for global warming and I am responsible for the insecure IT professionals who are too busy saving brownie points for their next appraisal instead of creating brownie points for the planet they owe more to.
I am responsible for the corruption among the politicians and the distorted bureaucrats that's siphoning out our country morality underneath seats of power, and stashing black money into Swiss bank accounts.
I am responsible for the junk food generation of misled teenagers (more facts) and and few over-enthusiastic ambitious biotechnologists who are spirituality deprived and do not respect the planet and its delicate natural laws.
I am responsible for educating you about it.
But I am not responsible if you choose not to look at it neutrally or neglect doing your own research:
- beyond your education conditioning if you are a biotechnologist
- beyond your vote bank politics if you are a politician, beyond your comfort zone of "short term gain long term pain" attitude
- beyond your insensitivity to your environment
“India is fast becoming the world’s biggest dustbin for this risky and unwanted technology. We are being told that these crops are essential for feeding the growing population, but there is not even one GM crop that produces higher yields. In fact, many of the GM crops produce less than the existing crops. And yet, as many as 56 foods crops are being genetically modified in India.”
-Devinder Sharma,
Food Policy key Analyst
“What we need is a moratorium on release of any GM crop and sale of any GM seed for at least next 5 to 7 years, till their safety is not assured through stringent and impartial tests, because what’s at stake here is not just our health but our very survival”
Dr Pushpa M. Bhargava
Founder Director, Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology and Supreme Court’s nominee in the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC).
You know the facts now.
Make a responsible, good choice that is sustainable for you and the planet we share.
Foie Gras is cruel..McDonalds and KFC have unethical practices
For all the obese consumers who don’t mind eating and treating friends and family at the nearest McDonald’s and KFC joints…
And for all the young, hormone-awash, media-stimulated, teenagers who think KFC and McDonald’s serve tastier food than their mothers can make…
For all the young corporates who are challenged and cannot think beyond KFC and McDonald’s when it comes to eating outside…
You and I are aware of the cruelty (includes the slavery in Africa that goes behind the scenes of these joints).
Why do you still haunt these joints?
Is your love for this beautiful planet that you are ACCOUNTABLE to, negotiable compared to your judgment about the dangers of such food, morally, spiritually, economically, and health-wise upon your health?
It doesn’t matter how old are you, which college you go to, which employer you work for, it doesn’t even matter if you rarely go to KFC and McD or you go there often. It is unhealthy and irresponsible. Please stop haunting KFC and McDonald’s immediately, for good.
IN THE END, IT WILL MATTER ONLY AND ONLY TO YOU.
For my friends in Europe, this is why you should immediately stop visiting KFC and McDonalds.
Looks Familiar? It's Foie Gras. Translated into English, it means "Fat Liver"
This luxurious menu dish originated from France.
This luxurious menu dish originated from France.
But this dish comes from FORCE FEEDING a goose to make them develop the FATTY LIVER DISEASE!
The geese are force-fed
The metal pipe is made to pass through its throat to the stomach..ensures adequate pain and brutality to make the liver bigger and fatter
Small cages force the geese to stay in one position to avoid using energy, thus converting all food into fat.
Their legs swell up from standing all day
They are defenseless and this they learn quickly, after repeated torture.
They are force-fed until they are dead or their bodies cant stand with this
Isn't it unimaginable...the hidden cruelty and disease that goes into this dish that LOOKS tasty!
I would never take my significant other or my loved ones to a restaurant or food joint that serves such diseased cruelty-laced dish.
Would you?
STOP THE DEMAND AND THE SUPPLY WILL END
For readers in India, who are wondering how does visiting KFC and McDonald's once in a while affect these mute geese: Every penny you spend at KFC or McDonald's is a generous contribution to the Organization that sells such food in any corner of this world.
Are you evolving or devolving now?

PASTEURIZATION KILLS MILK!
Pasteurization deprives children of the essential constituents that clean, raw milk can provide.
As for the health-conscious consumers who need REAL milk, pasteurized milk is fooling them into an illusion of milk, whereas fact is they are just consuming some white liquid that has near-zero essential nutrition.
What’s worse is all this artificial treatments to milk (and other food products) have created a generation of weak individuals who have weak immunity levels…due to excessive hygiene of course. This should be a reality-check for readers who say “raw milk may just be full of harmful bacteria”…I am sure the human race existed, in fact they thrived better long before Pasteur was heard of.
Pasteurization had set out to accomplish 2 things: destruction of germs, and preventing milk from turning sour (this is funny…because sour milk is super good for invalids, as a laxative). It did achieve the mentioned goals, at a greater cost that destroys the purpose itself.
Pasteurization ended up destroying even the beneficial bacteria which is why we drink milk. Not just that, pasteurization destroys nutrition in the milk. And this measure taken to prevent milk from souring, creates more favorable conditions for UNDESIRABLE GERMS to MULTIPLY very very fast.
The problem which Pasteur missed is that, its dirty milk causes menace, NOT raw milk. RAW MILK IS GOOD.
Some zealots say raw milk can cause tuberculosis. I have discovered some studies conducted on this assumption which revealed that pasteurized milk had also caused tuberculosis.
The last discovery I made is, pasteurization is the main offender when it comes to turning the much –needed calcium in milk, into insoluble by the body! RESULTS: rickets, bad teeth, nervous troubles. This also depletes the phosphorus associated with Calcium. RESULTS: serious effect on bone and brain formation. Pasteurization also destroys 20 percent of the iodine present in raw milk. RESULTS: constipation.
Now, for those special few people in denial (who ironically also happen to be intellectually stimulated), here are the numbers and figures: http://www.karlloren.com/aajonus/p15.htm. End Of Discussion :-)
Instead of forcing dealers to set up expensive machinery for turning raw milk into a mutant white zero nutrition liquid, can the government ensure our dairy-farmers produce clean, raw milk?

Milk is no more healthy !
It goes without elaborating that the milk of Indian cows..real Indian cows is the most nutritious in the world.
And today this breed of cows (desi cows) are fast disappearing...and a new kind of cows are appearing swiftly and silently...like a plague.
What's the difference between desi cows and jersey cows? Someone answered on Wiki answers "One is dumb, the other isn't" :-) isn't it obvious because the jersey cows are not natural breeds...they are dumb no doubt...LOL
These cows are injected with oestrogen hormones to increase their production of milk from 40 to 60. For those who are aware that oestrogen is a female hormone, it reveals why children as young as 10 and 11 years of age are getting puberty in India...thats because the milk children drink nowadays...this packaged milk is adulterated with oestrogen, and more...girls as young as 6th standard, are getting periods! And boys as young as 10 are getting visible signs of puberty!
Nandini milk has become a household name.
But how many educated, intelligent consumers actually do their own research? Do you?
...which is why, I thought it smart to share this with you:
The milk that you buy is obtained from machine milking of cows. You would have guessed by now, what harm this does to the milk. PUS and BLOOD go into machine-extracted milk!!
Nandini Dairy (and all other packaged milk manufacturers) PASTEURIZES their milk. PASTEURIZATION KILLS THE MILK. Pasteurization heats the milk to high levels and kills the nutrition, before it even reaches your next-door shop.
Nandini Dairy (and all other packaged milk manufacturers) HOMOGENIZES their milk. HOMOGENIZED MILK KILLS BLOOD VESSELS.
If you are already mentally complaining that, in such a case "what shall I eat then???" I'll say run to the hand-milked cow shed in your neighborhood. And before that, feel grateful that we live in a country like India, which still has real Indian cows in many pockets of this country.
If you donot have this luxury (an ironic but realistic term now), then make REAL SOYA MILK at home. Real Soya Milk, is NOT the silken soya milk that you buy at RelianceMart or Spencer's. Oh btw, I am amused too see that, with all the monies that go into their marketing gimmicks, these retail outlets don't see the direct tangible gains they will get in marketing, if they invest even a fraction of that invisible marketing monies into procuring and promoting jute and cotton bags as a ECO-FRIENDLY measure for the planet. Just a priceless marketing tip!
(Here is where to procure jute bags in bulk from: http://www.jeevanakala.com/support/ssrdp.htm
Now, I know you are already asking me "How" to make soya milk at home?

COCONUT MILK is a SUPERB alternative to milk!
And coconut water :-) I could go on and on about its amazing nutritional brownie points :-)

COCONUT MILK is a SUPERB alternative to milk!
And coconut water :-) I could go on and on about its amazing nutritional brownie points :-)
- natural isotonic beverage- the same level as in human blood! :-)
- electrolytic balance in coconut milk= electrolytic balance in our blood.
- Coconut Water is
:-) More Nutritious than whole milk - LESS FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL
:-) Healthier than Orange Juice - MUCH MUCH LOWER CALORIES.
:-) has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg.
:-) has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.
:-) is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39mg. (Data based on a 100ml drink)
:-) Contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk- better than processed baby milk
You thought sports drinks are better because your favorite sportstar promotes it. Wrong!
Coconut water
:-) contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks:-) has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg.
:-) has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.
:-) is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39mg. (Data based on a 100ml drink)
Coconut water is a universal donor - Its identical to human blood plasma. Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.
"Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural"-Mortin Satin, Chief, United Nation's Food & Agriculture Organization
I dont understand the agenda of the media...do news channels like NDTV and CNN IBN exist solely to have higher viewership ratings? (the answer is obvious, seeing day in and day out coverage of the Commissioner's pet dog having run away, or of Rakhi Sawant's personal life!) Do daily newspapers like Times Of India, DNA, MidDay, Deccan Herald etc spend man hours and energy only to garner more and more and more subscribers? In fact they have been partially successful in manipulating the reading psychology of the public...partially successful. Why don't the media cover issues of such paramount importance? Because they and a chunk of the public would prefer to live in denial...until it strikes their own homes. Funny civilization we live in.
