Morbid obesity: Learning from this great loss

Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba says, “In the world today a handful of people who do no physical work, but live by their wits, have appropriated to themselves most of the wealth of humanity, so they are able to buy comparatively expensive foods, and use them to satisfy their taste buds. As a result, they, on the one hand, swell with unnecessary fat, while, on the other hand, those people doing hard manual labour are forced to live in poverty and deprived of the ghee, butter and sweets they need to maintain their bodies...So my point is that obesity is primarily a disease of well-off, non-labouring society.”     (1)



Sadly, the problem of obesity is prevalent amongst our Wts. Here above is one morbidly obese Dada - the late Ac Nigamananda Avt.

Some may say that since Dadaji is dead then there is no need to publicly talk about his history with obesity etc. However, according to Sadguru Baba we cannot ignore history. Those communities that ignored history failed to learn from past missteps. Rather they repeated those errors and suffered the consequences. So our duty is to learn from the food habits of Dada Nigamananda and help others learn as well. Otherwise, people will suffer a similar way.

Those around Dadaji know that he always cooked and fried his food in fat (oil) - right up till the very end. And sadly this led to his premature passing.

Obesity itself is a deadly disease. Those who are obese will in due course face life-threatening diseases like coronary heart disease, cancer, and strokes.

Ananda Marga Yogic Remedies guides us, “High-salaried office workers, rich businessmen and parasitic politicians are those who suffer most from obesity…. Another distinguishing mark of such people is that they are most greedy for those foods which are most fattening; that is, when invited outside, they will never even by mistake eat much in the way of vegetable preparations – instead they will eat a lot of luci, fish, meat and sweets. As they grow older and their livers become weak, they will lose that voracious appetite. Then they will sorrowfully say to people that they cannot consume food as they used to. Their muscles become flaccid and they begin to suffer from acidity, constipation or intestinal troubles. Fat accumulated on the chest affects the heart and lungs and makes it difficult for these organs to function.” (2)


Losing existing Wts / workers faster than we are gaining new ones

And verily the overwhelming majority of our Wts are not regular in doing asanas and fasting - rather they consume junk food. And that is the problem. In result, in our organisation so many Dadas are     suffering from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes etc.

Nowadays, many Dadas in uniform are obese. Thus we are facing a deficit situation with our workers. We are losing existing workers faster than we are gaining new ones. All in all it is an unfortunate     state of affairs.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Prabhat

How to treat obesity


- Dietary guidelines for treating obesity

Yogic Treatments teaches us, "Some obese people try simply to eat less, surmising that in doing so they will be able to lose weight. This is not a correct approach, because such dieting can weaken the patient to such an extent that he or she cannot even get up or walk. What the patient needs is a simple, carefully selected diet. For instance:

1. One should drink about four or five seers of water daily, but not much at a time. As far as possible the patient should always mix lemon juice with the water.

2. Completely stop taking non-vegetarian food, ghee and oil. Three-fourths to a seer of diluted milk should be taken, a little at a time, a number of times during the day.

3. Depending upon the appetite, all kinds of fruit in plentiful quantity, preferably sour juicy types, can be taken. These fruits are very beneficial for the obese.

4. Reduce or eliminate rice, rut́i and pulses, and instead eat green vegetables and soups made from them in greater quantity.

5. One must reduce the use of raw and refined sugar, but may use a little honey – nor more than three spoonfuls a day." (3)


- Important dos and don'ts for treating obesity

"Rules of fasting and sun-bathing should be observed by patients. Generally speaking, obesity is the disease of the sedentary and the greedy. So as far as possible, simple food should be eaten. Instead of luci and puri, dry rut́i should be taken. And patients should give up their habit of sitting and giving orders, and instead should do the work by their own physical efforts." (4)

Under-secretion causes cruelty

Due to defects in their glands some people become cruel & dogmatic.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "If there is under-secretion of the hormones of the testes glands, a youth will develop less kindness, and less hair will grow in the armpits and pubic region. If you see a man with these physical characteristics, then and there you can come to a conclusion about the extent of his kindness. Moreover, such a person will most likely support dogma. He will not have the moral strength to protest against dogma (including scriptural dogma), and he will not support a new idea." (1)
