  3. HEALTH • What do we mean by ‘being healthy’? • (WHO) Complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely an absence of disease.

  4. HEALTH • Physical Health: Maintaining balance between various organs. • Mental Health: Presence of positive characteristics in other words free from depression, anxiety, and psychological problems.

  6. Therefore good care should be taken to keep the body clean and healthy. • Without good health we cannot: 1) Pray or Meditate 2) Perform asanas & pranayama 3) Carry out service to mankind 4) Control our senses of mind

  7. Good health is beneficial not only for the individual but to the family and community.

  8. Balvikas gurus are referred to as gardeners – they are given the noble task of tending the young saplings, nurturing it with good thoughts, words, deeds – and guarding it so as to reach upwards towards the Divine life – ‘The good life’ • Bhagwan’s Saying: ‘Start early, drive slowly, reach safely’ so the correct time to start telling the children from their tender age itself, so that they build up a good, healthy life.

  9. Man is made of 5 sheaths. The outer most one is the “ANNAMAYA KOSHA”-the food sheath. Thus the importance of having the correct quality and quantity of food can’t be over-stated

  10. The child’s pattern of eating and food habits during early years tends to stay with the child. 1) Offer the food to God ‘to make it a prasad’ 2) Avoid spilling… “Annam Brahma” (an incident in the life of Shri Ramana Maharishi) 3) Importance of Mastication • Remember God for His mercy-for the food he gives-because without food nothing goes right.
