The Sanatana Dharma
Planets have a great influence on our lives. We should learn to respect them and understand this relationship in order to live a life of harmony with the cosmos. Only then will we become fulfilled individuals. That is why you find that all Hindu festivals are connected with some planet and especially the moon which is the closest to us.
Reflection of the Week
The order of the days in a week is defined according to the speed of the planets/astral bodies with reference to the movement of the Earth. There is a close relationship between the Earth and these planets, recognized a long time ago by Vedic astrology. But, of course, they also knew that only those planets close to us can affect us. Therefore, in the counting of the days of the week, only those grahas (planets) were taken whose vibration/light is within the range that affects the Earth. If we were living on another planet or another solar system, the number of weekdays and the duration of a day would be quite different from what we know today! This was stated in ancient Indian texts that the seven days of the week are based on the Earth’s relationship with its seven closest neighbors! The order is determined with reference to the movement of the Earth. The moon is the fastest, and Saturn is the slowest.
Ayurvedic health tip of the week
A short 10-15 minutes walk after every meal is one of the cheapest and effective ways of balancing our post-meal rise in blood sugar. Not only is this a helpful tip if you are managing diabetes, or other metabolic issues, but it is a good habit to incorporate regularly for anyone looking to integrate lifestyle habits in the upkeep of health. Regulating one's post-meal blood sugar can also help in mitigating the sleepiness and lethargy that can sometimes set in after eating a large meal.
