We celebrate today birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi who spread the message of truth,peace, self restraint and non violence; Lal bahadur shastri who epitomized simplicity and honesty.

Mahatma Gandhi wrote a book "KEY TO HEALTH" during his confinement in Aga khan palace in pune during 1942-1944.
Lets read this book today on his birth anniversary and understand the philosophy of health.
He made beautiful remarks on ill effects of alcohol, tobacco, opium and other intoxicants. He also defined health in this book and wrote about several determinants of health like air, water, food, condiments and 'brahmcharya' (self restraint).
He considered human body as a miniature universe within and stresses on understanding of our inner human machinery.
In the 2nd part of this book he dealt with natural therapeutics using earth, water, akash, air and sunlight. Most of these like sitz bath, phototherapy, breathing exercises are still being practiced.
He also made it a point to the readers our limitation which despite so much of progress and research is still not enough to understand our human body and brain.

So lets pray for peace, good health and love for everyone.
