Dharaniya Vegana – Those urges to be supressed
This is also from the 17th Chapter of Charaka Samhita Sutrasthana. Here there are urges to be supressed. In the Western world of nonsense we see that anything is valid, you will read studies of what releasing anger will do for the stress in your body as well as you will probably find article on exactly the opposite. I always like to quote my teacher here……… “I would rather follow what the rishis wrote verses following the fools of today”. Think about this for a moment, wisdom heritage that spirituality and health are all one and that has lasted over 10,000 years verses todays theories which change with the wind.
