SV Ayurveda (Vaidya Ramakant Mishra)

In this PART 1 Vaidya RK Mishra explains the history and basic concepts of marma therapy as taught in main-stream ayurveda and, in contrast, in his particular, ancient family lineage of Shaka Vansia Ayurveda (SVA).

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra explains the four different types of toxins, how they enter the body, and how to detox them safely without aggravating the body more.

In this live-recorded presentation, Vaidya RK Mishra addresses a fascinating topic, the mind.

PART 2 Covers the ayurvedic concept of mind as it relates to the five senses and the light of the soul. Vaidya explains the mind's abilities and attributes, dhee, dhriti, and smriti; and describes extensively the herbs and foods that nurture the brain and contribute to its proper functioning.

The "second brain", the colon, which Vaidya eloquently calls the intelligence of the brain, and the production of neurotransmitters are also explained in detail.

As a bonus, by the end, Vaidya enthusiastically announces the launching of a new formulation, the Chyawanprash sweetener, and provides fantastic tips to stay away from the "white poison", refined table sugar.

In this two-part lecture, Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum addresses the importance of the gut's microflora and the illnesses and imbalances that a decimated intestinal friendly bacteria is sure to produce in our physiology.

She brilliantly explains the reasons why, from one generation to the next, Americans began to experience a myriad of food allergies, attention deficit, autism, Asperger's, and all kinds of bowel illnesses due to the vaccination craze, indiscriminate antibiotic prescriptions, and contemporary artificial lifestyle.

For those who care about their personal health and the well-being of their loved ones, this is not a lecture packed with information, but rather packed with revelations.

Bones are living tissue, as alive as muscles, skin, and blood; and its health needs to be addressed as such. Osteoporosis and other bone illnesses that we believe can be kept away by swallowing dead calcium-supplement pills are not cured or prevented with such pharmaceutical approaches. Not only are these practices ineffective, but unintelligent calcium ingested in excess and let wondering unattended in our bodies can stiffen arteries and joints, and pretty much cause unwanted accumulations in any bodily tissue.

Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum brilliantly explains how to truly keep out bones healthy without creating problems in the rest of our physiology.

This episode was recorded live with in-person and distant, Skype participants. The first section has Vaidya Mishra introducing the concept of marmas and their relation to the pranic energy as well as the SVA products he formulated to treat them.

The second section is a step-by-step practicum guided by Dr. Melina Takvorian on how to massage each marma and in what order.

The closing is a Q&A with the audience.

In this informal talk held as a live session for the few fortunate participants who got a chance to sit at the feet of the master, Vaidya elaborates on the ayurvedic approach to Pain Management. He begins with a description of the fundamental millenia-old texts that form the foundation of his Shaka Vansya Ayurveda lineage: Charak Sanhita, Susrut Samhita, and Vagbhat Ashtang Hridaya. Later, he discusses pain management techniques and recounts experiences of real clinical cases. And by the end of the talk Vaidya explains the creation process of a new pain reliever (at the time still in testing stages), and spills the beans on the ingredients and properties of his flagship formulation: Super Sport Transdermal Cream.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa Rasking, D.C., Vaidya Mishra’s accomplished student and research collaborator, explains the dangers of consuming vegetables from the nightshade family. These veggies, which include eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes, contain several neurotoxic substances, like nicotine and particularly solanine. These toxic chemicals are produced by the plants to protect themselves from insects and are in reality nature’s-made pesticides, which modern laboratories utilize to manufacture rat poison and herbicides.

Solanine, which accumulates in the body’s involuntary muscle tissues and the intestines’ lining, is directly related to osteoporosis and general calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It “deviates” the calcium causing it to accumulate and build up in the wrong tissues instead of being put to work on building healthy bones. It also interferes with neuronal synapses and affects our joints among several other disruptions.

Modern Western research is corroborating today what the ancient sutras of ayurveda knew since time immemorial and Vaidya Mishra learned from his father and ancestors in his Shaka Vanshyia lineage of healers.

Presented by Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum

Is it really that vaccines have never been proven to have a direct connection with autism, Alzheimer’s, and a roster of other endemic diseases that were a rarity half a century ago? Or is it the greatest big pharma cover-up of present time?

America is sadly by far the country with the busiest vaccine schedule in the world. Children are expected to have taken as many as 70 vaccination rounds by the age of 18, in contrast with a handful of vaccines their grandpas received during their childhood and adolescence.

Before the “golden age of vaccines” (sarcasm intended), the US had the third lowest child-mortality rate in the world. Today, it ranks at about #46; well behind all developed countries.

Vaccines are loaded with a myriad of harmful ingredients that include mercury, the deadliest neurotoxic known to science, and aluminum, another high-ranking poison, just to name a few.

Every responsible parent should make informed decisions about the vaccine schedules of the “Vaccination Nation” that can have irreversible consequences in the health of his/her children.

PART 1 covers the toxicity of vaccine ingredients, the damage they produce in the brain and physiology, and the evolution of the vaccination schedule in the US over the past decades.

PART 2 covers the research, medical literature, and conclusive factual evidence about the harms of vaccination that every parent should know.

In this special presentation, made as a tribute to Vaidya RK Mishra, her distinguished disciple, formulation tester, and patient consultation partner of 20 years, Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum, of whom Vaidya himself once said "She has the light of the rishis, and before I live this body, I want to teach her everything I know" summarizes Vaidya's inconmensurable contribution to the science of Ayurveda.

Vaidya Mishra, was the heir of a millenia-old lineage of ayurvedic healers whose origins are recorded in the Puranas (ancient Sanskrit Vedic texts). They practiced the purest and most elevated form of ayurveda and had the highest understanding of the human physiology; an understanding that went beyond body organs and functions and holistically took into account the connection, communion, and harmonious balance of the physical body as the housing of the soul, put in motion by the flow of Prana and kept in harmony with the natural laws of the universe, as the true means of attaining HEALTH and BLISS.

This is episode number two of the trilogy:
What is Vat?
What is Pitt?
What is Kaph?

Pitt is the best approximation spelling of the dosha which is transliterated as Pitta in the Western world and pronounced as "Pit-ta" emphasizing the double “t” sound.

It is the dosha of people with a physiology that is agni-predominant and is divided into the five sub-doshas listed below (spelled Western style):
1) Pachaka Pitta
2) Ranjaka Pitta
3) Sadaka Pitta
4) Alochaka Pitta
5) Bhranjaka Pitta

Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum, author of the book “Healing The Thyroid With Ayurveda”, gives invaluable advice on how to keep an well-functioning thyroid gland and how to treat its imbalances naturally, without the use of the unfriendly thyroid hormone medicines.
She discusses:

Consumption of tofu and soy milk

Adverse effects of fluorinated water

Intoxication by mercury in fish and vaccines

Going to bed late

Diet low in animal protein

Rushed lifestyle (high vata)

Birth control pill and its negative influence in the gut and liver.

In the Western world, spices are seen as flavor-enhancing plants that contribute to the refinement of dishes.

Under the millennia-old wisdom of Ayurveda, spices are known to be health-boosting and physiology-balancing medicines that contribute to the elimination of toxins, the absorption of nutrients, the flow of prana, and the strengthening of the immune system. They also play a role in our emotional balance, mental strength, and physical performance as well as many other aspects of our overall wellbeing.

In this revealing episode, Dr. Teitelbaum keeps no secrets. Discover how to prepare meals with health, not flavor, as the primary goal of your cooking routine. You will learn to look at your kitchen as a health powerhouse and at spices and masalas (spice mixes) as your best allies in the pursuit of a healthy and blessed daily life.

Vaidya Mishra explains the meaning of the nine-day, devotional celebration of the Divine Mother that is known as Navaratri.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra discusses the medicinal properties of the mucuna plant directly from the Sanskrit ancient text, highlighting its balancing properties over the five vata subdoshas.

His distinguished disciple and long-time collaborator, Dr. Lisa Rasking, shares her research findings on modern science corroborating the accuracy of the ancient Sutras.

This episode is the first of a trilogy:
What is Vat?
What is Pitt?
What is Kaph?

Vat is the more proper spelling of the dosha which is transliterated as Vata in the Western world and pronounced as "Wata". Since Sanskrit has no letters, its "alphabet" is rather a syllabary, much like the Japanese katakana and hiragana, where characters represent full syllables instead of consonantal or vocalic sounds that have to be combined to make syllables. When a Sanskrit syllable has no vowel at the end, a minuscule "A" sound is attached to it, and since Western alphabets don't know of these short or "half vowels" the transliterations frequently add a full "A" sound at the end. Furthermore, familiar words such as Yoga and Ayurveda are actually "Yog" and "Ayurved" in their original Sanskrit form, they just get a full "A" sound appended at the end.

Vat or Vata is one of the three ayurvedic doshas and is the dosha of people with a physiology that is marut-predominant. It is divided into the five sub-doshas listed below (spelled Western style) on which Vaidya Mishra elaborates in this episode covering the functions and the parts of the physical body that each of them governs:

1) Prana Vata
2) Udana Vata
3) Samana Vata
4) Apana Vata
5) Vyana Vata

In this inaugural episode, Vaidya Mishra defines Ayurveda and Health from the SV Ayurveda perspective, through the translation of the following Sanskrit verses.

Veda:

āyuśo veda [iti] āyur veda

Ayu (Life):

In this episode, our Vaidya explains the principles of oral care in relation to the seven tissues recognized in Ayurveda, the harmful effects of acidity and sugar in the mouth, and how the medicinal herbs and plants of his formulations restore oral health. Additionally, basic concepts of tongue hygiene are introduced. 

Some five decades ago, the word cholesterol became a household term and the bad guy to blame for all our illnesses and health misfortunes. Heart attacks, Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, you name it. As research progressed, decades later we began to hear: “But wait, there is good cholesterol too”. At present time, Western medicine is discovering that the serial killer known as cholesterol was innocent of most charges while doctors’ dietary recommendations and prescriptions to keep the assassin low caused ravages in the health of two generations depleting the human brain of indispensable fat substances that led to all kinds of physiological imbalances responsible for life-long medical conditions and death.

All you need to know about cholesterol, which could have saved countless lives should the West have known what has been common ayurvedic knowledge for millennia, is presented in this episode.

 Are you low in calcium? Are you high in calcium? No calcium level in your body is good if it's not matched to the level of MAGNESIUM in a ratio of one to one; and, in fact, all your calcium supplements can cause disasters in your physiology if not properly balanced.

Vaidya Mishra used to call MAGNESIUM "the intelligence of the calcium" and in this enlightening lecture, Dr. Teitelbaum explains all the whys, dos, and don'ts of its management. Headaches, menstrual cramps, stiffness of arteries and ligaments, brittle bones, cataracts, and many symptoms of aging can be prevented, alleviated,  and even reversed with proper levels of this vital substance, which is written in Chinese by putting together the signs for mineral and beautiful. 

Ashwaganda, sometimes called the “Indian Jing Sen” is a plant with amazing medicinal properties and a vaidya’s number one tool in the reduction of cortisol due to stress.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra discusses the problems related to stress and our modern lifestyle and how this holy plant is used in its treatment.  His accomplished student, Daria, Presents her research work on the subject, after which Vaidya answers the audience’s questions.

Stay informed to stay healthy; this is a valuable presentation.

Yogurt is an excellent way to replenish your gut with its probiotic cultures. However, it is best to make your own from a good yogurt starter as described in this video. Even the healthier brands of yogurt found in the health food stores are somewhat lacking in their live strains of probiotics. So if you make your own yogurt you can replenish the strains every two months with the yogurt starter powder to insure the highest quality cultures. In addition, the ancient texts of Ayurveda stated that the yogurt needs to have an alkaline taste or else if it is too acidic the acids could kill off some of the friendly bacteria cultures in the yogurt. Yogurt could be very channel-clogging and create ama (heavy undigested food which remains undigested in the gut) if not taken in the correct way.

This video describes various ways to take yogurt properly in order to prevent this clogging from occurring. Also explained is why yogurt is better than kefir, and which foods don’t combine well with yogurt. It’s important to have a thorough understanding about yogurt as it is one of the more important foods to help us retain robust health into old age, yet it has to be both prepared correctly and taken as described in the ancient texts or else this important food can just sit in the gut, rotting and fermenting if we aren’t aware of these issues.

In Part 2 of this interview, Vaidya Mishra answers questions from Linda Rocco about why cooking your own food is important, what a vibrational channel is, why taking herbs orally can be hard on the liver, and the alternative delivery systems that he uses instead.

In this live-recorded presentation, Vaidya RK Mishra addresses a fascinating topic, the mind.

PART 1 is an introduction covering preliminary concepts. It begins with a definition of the science of Ayurveda and the most pivotal elements: Prana, its nature and flow, its three main components, soma, agni, and marut, and its relation to the three doshas of human physiology: vata, pitta, and kapha.

In PART 3, Vaidya RK Mishra answers all questions from the audience and shares insighful details of the practice of self-marma massage.

In this two-part dissertation, Dr. Teitelbaum explains all one needs to know about this indispensable vitamin to stay healthy. Among the many important roles of vitamin D in our physiology inhibiting cancer and assisting in the absorption of calcium are but two highlights. Unfortunately, in the US and most of the Western world, modern lifestyle has produced an endemic deficiency of vit. D levels with which modern "medicine" simply can't cope. The recommended daily ingestion values of vit. D have been doubled and tripled by medical "authorities" without solving or even minimally alleviating the problem (while creating liver and kidney imbalances that have led to patients' deaths). A problem that the ancient Sanskrit text solved millennia ago.

Part 1 discusses the dilemmas of vitamin D deficiency and highlights the pitfalls of the "big pharma Docs", while Part 2 brings the divine light of Ayurveda and the SVA tradition to the rescue.

Presented by Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum

Is it really that vaccines have never been proven to have a direct connection with autism, Alzheimer’s, and a roster of other endemic diseases that were a rarity half a century ago? Or is it the greatest big pharma cover-up of present time?

America is sadly by far the country with the busiest vaccine schedule in the world. Children are expected to have taken as many as 70 vaccination rounds by the age of 18, in contrast with a handful of vaccines their grandpas received during their childhood and adolescence.

Before the “golden age of vaccines” (sarcasm intended), the US had the third lowest child-mortality rate in the world. Today, it ranks at about #46; well behind all developed countries.

Vaccines are loaded with a myriad of harmful ingredients that include mercury, the deadliest neurotoxic known to science, and aluminum, another high-ranking poison, just to name a few.

Every responsible parent should make informed decisions about the vaccine schedules of the “Vaccination Nation” that can have irreversible consequences in the health of his/her children.

PART 1 covers the toxicity of vaccine ingredients, the damage they produce in the brain and physiology, and the evolution of the vaccination schedule in the US over the past decades.

PART 2 covers the research, medical literature, and conclusive factual evidence about the harms of vaccination that every parent should know.

In this day and age of massive exposure to poisonous chemicals and radiation in our everyday lives, hair weakening and eventual loss is a misfortunate reality for many men and women, older and younger. Frequently, it is addressed as a problem of the hair follicle and scalp when in reality its origin can be as deep as the health of bones and proper functioning of the thyroid gland.

In this episode, Dr. Teitelbaum reveals profound insights into maintaining healthy, radiant hair based on the ancient knowledge of SV Ayurveda.

Have you ever wondered why your ayurvedic practitioner asks you to sleep and eat in this or that way, to choose or avoid such and such foods and cooking methods; and to follow or avoid certain lifestyle habits, practices, and routines?

In this enlightening two-part episode Dr. Teitelbaum explains in depth the principles that set the foundation for health, well-being, and bliss the ayurvedic way.

Part 1 covers with erudition the concepts of Prana and Doshas, which set Ayurveda apart and above Western medicine going beyond the physical body into the realm of our vibrational physiology.

Part 2 addresses ojas, the subtle vibrational “tissues” that complete the physiology equation when added to the seven physical tissues. And ama, the poorly-digested/semi-processed food substances that clog our channels and create toxins, the two issues at the root of almost every human illness.

Many people nowadays have lots of raw vegetables, cold salads and juice their vegetables for various reasons. Some state that the cooking process destroys the enzymes in the food, others say juicing is good because it breaks down the cellulose fibers in the vegetables for better absorption into the cells. Lots of people would rather toss together a quick salad rather than standing over a pot cooking the vegetables. Plus the raw salads look so green and healthy.

This video debunks all these myths and shows what the knowledge of Ayurveda has to say about these misconceptions. Ayurveda is based on sound knowledge, cognized from enlightened seers whose knowledge which is passed down to us is known as “siddhantas,” or eternal truths. Learn why the cooking process prevents the formation of ama and shleshma (sticky substances that clog the body’s vast network of physical channels. And that while cooking may destroy some of the enzymes in the food, there is far more absorption into the cells than if the vegetable is raw. Not only that, there are lots of dangerous compounds in raw vegetables which will evaporate out once the vegetable is cooked. And finally, eating raw vegetables and juicing cold vegetable juice will throw your Vata out of balance over time, as raw vegetables contain all the attributes of data, which is cold, dry and light.

The extraordinarily deep understanding of physiological processes revealed by Ayurveda points almost invariably to toxins as the underlying cause of diseases or the imbalances that, if not addressed early, will lead to them.

This extraordinary live presentation by Dr. Teitelbaum covers in two parts all that is needed to know about such a crucial subject.

Part 1 explains the four types of toxins as well as the vibrational and physical channels.

Part 2 addresses the main organs of elimination, the seven tissues with their chain of transformation, and finally, the ayurvedic techniques to detoxify putting special emphasis on how to prepare the body by unclogging the channels to ensure that toxins get truly eliminated instead of leaving a tissue to get stuck on another without being driven out. The most powerful detoxifying foods and the most convenient seasons of the year to engage in detoxification protocols are also revealed.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra gives an introduction to his Transdermal Marma System™. He explains that Prana is the bio electromagnetic power of nature which runs our own body's electromagnetic power, recharging our organs and systems. Marmas are powerful points on the body that act like switches and supply Prana to all the different areas of the body. When these switches aren't supplying Prana properly, then our organs and systems aren't able to function normally.

Ashoka means in Sanskrit that which takes away the grief. This holly ayurvedic plant is known for its beneficial effect on the hridya (the emotional heart); it lifts the spirit and conveys a feeling of blissful joy.

Its medicinal properties include cooling effects that help to balance the excess of agni (fire) in the liver, pancreas, colon, and other organs reducing inflammation and the production of ama and amavisha (toxins). It is also an excellent sugar regulator that helps in the production of insulin, the cellular absorption of sugar and nutrients, and the overall management of diabetes.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra explains how vibrational healing is extremely important to live a healthy life, and at the core of his teaching is the knowledge of the Heart Lotus. The Heart Lotus is our vibrational heart and sitting in the centre of the lotus, is our soul. 
Vaidya Mishra shows how they are connected to each other and the effect that they have on both the mind and the senses (which he describes as five wild horses driving the mind). 

Follow along as Vaidya Mishra translates the following Sanskrit verse: What is the Soul?

ātmā jyotiścidānandarūpo nityaśca nispṛhaḥ |

In this two-part lecture, Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum addresses the importance of the gut's microflora and the illnesses and imbalances that a decimated intestinal friendly bacteria is sure to produce in our physiology.

She brilliantly explains the reasons why, from one generation to the next, Americans began to experience a myriad of food allergies, attention deficit, autism, Asperger's, and all kinds of bowel illnesses due to the vaccination craze, indiscriminate antibiotic prescriptions, and contemporary artificial lifestyle.

For those who care about their personal health and the well-being of their loved ones, this is not a lecture packed with information, but rather packed with revelations.

According to Ayurveda, toxins are at the core of illnesses and physiological imbalances. In this full-coverage lecture, Vaidya Mishra addresses how to detox at home and explains the four types of toxins, the relevance of proper diet and digestion, how to properly prepare our body for the process of eliminating poisonous chemicals, and finally, how to implement the detoxification program.

Have you ever wondered why your ayurvedic practitioner asks you to sleep and eat in this or that way, to choose or avoid such and such foods and cooking methods; and to follow or avoid certain lifestyle habits, practices, and routines?

In this enlightening two-part episode Dr. Teitelbaum explains in depth the principles that set the foundation for health, well-being, and bliss the ayurvedic way.

Part 2 addresses ojas, the subtle vibrational “tissues” that complete the physiology equation when added to the seven physical tissues. And ama, the poorly-digested/semi-processed food substances that clog our channels and create toxins, the two issues at the root of almost every human illness.

Electro-Magnetic Frequencies are generated by all electrical and electronic devices that became part of our modern lifestyle, from cell phones to computers and from TV sets to air conditioners. Their electromagnetic radiations alter the flow of Prana in our physiology producing imbalances that compromise our health. Surprisingly, this contemporary illness, its prevention, and treatment were already addressed in ancient ayurvedic texts such as the Charak Samhita, which is, at least, 3,000 years old.

In this episode Dr.Renee Mehrra interviews Dr. Melina Mishra about how to protect ourselves from the toxic effects of EMF.

The extraordinarily deep understanding of physiological processes revealed by Ayurveda points almost invariably to toxins as the underlying cause of diseases or the imbalances that, if not addressed early, will lead to them.

This extraordinary live presentation by Dr. Teitelbaum covers in two parts all that is needed to know about such a crucial subject.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra explains that Prana is made up of 3 components: Soma, Agni, and Marut, and how they are the vibrational building blocks of all creation. He talks about why this knowledge is so important and how an in depth understanding of Prana is the foundation of Ayurvedic vibrational healing.

According to the science of Ayurveda, sleeping is one of the three pillars that support life. It is during the soma-predominant hours of the night, when our mind and senses go to rest, that our body does the big work of replenishing ojas for the following day.

Vaidya Mishra explains the cycle of sleep as understood by the millennia-old wisdom of Ayurveda.

This is the third and last episode of the trilogy:

What is Vat?
What is Pitt?
What is Kaph?

Kaph is the best approximation spelling of the dosha which is transliterated as Kapha in the Western world. It is pronounced "Ca-fa" (with consonantal sounds similar to those in the word “coffee”.
It is the dosha of people with a physiology that is soma-predominant and is divided into the five sub-doshas listed below (spelled Western style):

1) Tarpaka Kapha
2) Kledaka Kapha
3) Avlambaka Kapa
4) Shleshaka Kapha
5) Bodhaka Kapha

Doshas not only govern the physiological processes in our body, but they are also influential in determining personality and character, and kapha people have the tendency to be friendly, sociable, team players, and more tolerant of social friction resulting from interactions with other persons.

Hormonal changes, birth control pills, greasy fast food, and excessive refined sugars can all add up to a genetic predisposition that results in acne. Sadly, this skin disorder is frequently treated in the West through antibiotics and other medications that lower the action of our immune system and can result in inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis colitis, and many other illnesses.

Dr. Teitelbaum explains in depth the underlying causes of acne and discusses the harmless Ayurvedic alternatives to treat it.

In this episode, Vaidya Mishra briefly but magisterially explains the natural reasons for skin aging and discusses the six main ingredients in his Lalita’s Age Defying line of products used to delay it and even revert it in accordance with the science of Ayurveda as corroborated by modern medical research:
Gotukola
Jasmine
Sensitive Plant
Saffron
Turmeric
Radhuharidra (a.k.a. Triturmeric)
