Practical Tips to Avoid Adhyatmic Miseries

The following are some of the points from the pravachan of Maharaj regarding the remedy for our adhyatmic miseries:


Adhyatmic miseries are those miseries arising out of the body and mind particularly. Some diseases which come during the young age are clear and they are curable. But some of the limitations which come during the old age can never be cured. These diseases come to take us away. If we try to find the remedies for them, the disease will only aggravate. It is better to submit to them and tolerate them peacefully remembering Krsna.


Srimad-Bhagavatamsays, “atmajam yoga viryena”. The remedy for the diseases of the body and the mind are yogic exercises. Of all these walking is the best. Swimming and sitting in the posture of padmasana are also very good.


Srimad-Bhagavataminsists that all our activities should be connected to Krsna. The exercise should not be done just for the sake of exercise. Like walking, we can walk to the temple of Krsna. The temples are extensive and vast and there is good circulation of air. There we pay loving attention to Krsna and sing His Holy names. This singing of Holy names in a peaceful manner is in itself Pranayama. In India, the population is generally peaceful whereas in foreign countries, people are ageing very fast due to sinful activities like intoxication, and complicated food habits.


The curative process is naturally there in our body and we should give it a chance to work. If any disease comes we should learn to tolerate it and eventually it will get cured. Maharaj was giving a very nice example in this regard. If we go to somebodyhouse and if they don’t give any attention to us, like nobody welcomes us, or gives a glass of water, then there is no meaning in staying there and we leave that place. Similarly those who have come to some place are bound to go away. Why drive him immediately? If we drive, he may revolt. If we do not care, then he will automatically go away. In the same way, if the disease comes, we should not be paying attention to it by running to the

doctor and pouring in so many medicines. The doctor will first cut our pockets and then bypass. So we should learn to tolerate the disease till it is there. The best thing we can do is to stop eating. We should make it a rule that we will eat only if we are hungry. If the input is stopped, the natural curative process starts working and we will be alright.

    Hare Krishna Prabhuji,

    Eating less is good and i am 34 and do eat less than needed and result is, no doctor, no medicine for last 15 yrs.

    Eating less does not means one follow it blindly but according to once body needs. Someone may be working hard physical so need more food and so on. So basic point is when body get some disease than its need more energy to fight with it and if we keep on filling food in stomach than there will be less blood flow towards where it needed. Naturally when we get sick the very first symptoms is we don’t feel to eat and find bit bitter test in our mouth and even if we eat then vomit is there.

    So, conclusion is, artificial less eating will not help but according to once need one can have proper food when one get hungry or according to weather or age.

    In morning instead of breakfast we can have FULL MEAL, in afternoon half and in night half of half.

    If we follow some basic Ayurvedic rules will be very helpful. 

    HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharajaji used to say that in old age KAFA is increase so aged person must have ginger powder or fresh juice (5 ml) with honey every day. And walking is the best medicine.

    Please let us know if you would like to know more : 09274273731.

    Hare Krishna.

    your servant,

    Gaur-gadadhar das
