About Natural living: |
| |
Naturopathy means one way to another is a Nature centric system that either you eat, live, drink or make any activities must be the natural. This is the natural art of living through which we activate all of our immunity with out medicine. Yoga and Meditation is an art of living, which perpetually has to be associated with human life to make it peace, energetic and success. Ayurvedic herbals and Yoga is another synonym of proper health. Proper health here means reasonable by mind, accountable by physic and trustworthy by soul. Achieving these three means of parameters in ones life is the grateful life. We have been loosing the natural health in this busy and tense world However the natural health has to be revived. Body, soul and mind have to be well united and have to let them work in their full capacity so that the given task can be done in its fullest satisfaction. But mind, physic and soul can blossom together only in the happiest and balanced personalities. The mentioned personalities can be developed one and only through the performance of Yoga & Meditation. Yoga itself is a Medicine, can help us to angiography and by pass surgery with out any operation; Yoga is the permanent solution of pressure, diabetes, asthma etc. Once you start performing Yoga never you become a sick. As the Yoga and Meditation grows and matures the mind goes on becoming more pure. From this, mind becomes free from impurity and then slowly it progresses unconscious to sub-conscious, from sub-conscious to conscious and conscious to super conscious state, that is the state of "Samadhi" and if Samadhi is achieved that's the final goal of human value. |

About Nepal: |
| |
Nepal is a Himalayan
Country situated in between China and India possessing the richest geographical and biological diversity amongst the world. Nepal has been the synonyms of the Natural beauty and cultural heritage. This place also has been the birthplace and the playing ground of the lord Shiva and the Lord Buddha-are the great personalities of religiously the eastern philosophy. Philosophy says the "Vedas" are the oldest scripture ever found in the world. These spiritual scripts are the description of Natural beauty, Natural medicine, Natural herbals, natural way of living etc. and obviously the scripture is the great science and the science of spiritual philosophy where science and spirituality moves together, this kind of unity is "Yoga". While being a developing country, we see a big threat to indigenous knowledge and habits of living environmentally friendly. Globalization has brought western practices of eating junk food, using pharmaceuticals without knowledge of side effects and discarding garbage without effective waste management system. We believe that there is huge opportunity to preserve existing life patterns and determine development with increased educational opportunities, increased manpower and renewal of existing indigenous knowledge of eco-lifestyle. |
