The only real solution to conserve nature is to create a Consious planet , that is everyone of us are in Consious existence- Sg #RallyForRivers#consiousplanet
The International Day of Yoga is a reminder that what we call Yoga is not a philosophy, an ideology, a belief system or a religion. This is the science and technology for inner wellbeing. Whatever your religion, race, caste, creed, gender, these technologies render you to optimal existence - to peak performance in body, mind, emotion, intelligence and energies and above all, it will unlock the potential of the genius that is in every human being. -Sg

₹40,000 crore.
That is roughly the size of the global probiotic market today.
Pause for a moment.
Modern hygiene first wipes out microbes with antibiotics, antiseptics, antibacterial soaps, sterilized surfaces, RO filtration. Then science discovers that humans cannot live without microbes. Suddenly the market is full of probiotic capsules to restore “good bacteria”.
Kill them.
Then sell them back.
But traditional Indian life followed a very different logic. Not sterility. Balance.
Consider the village house.
Floors were often plastered with a thin layer of cow dung mixed with clay. To a modern eye this looks primitive. Yet dried dung contains soil bacteria such as Bacillus species that suppress harmful pathogens. The plaster also controls humidity and dust.
Instead of chemical sterilization, the floor hosted a stable microbial layer.
Clean. But alive.
Now look at washing practices.
Before commercial soaps, many households used ash to clean utensils or hands. Wood ash contains alkaline salts like potassium carbonate. When mixed with water it behaves like a mild soap, breaking down grease.
It cleans.
But it does not flood the surface with synthetic antimicrobial chemicals that wipe out everything.
Hair care followed the same ecological logic.
Reetha and shikakai were common cleansers. These plants contain natural saponins that produce foam and remove dirt, yet they are far gentler than modern sulfate shampoos. The scalp oils remain. The skin barrier survives. The microbial ecosystem stays intact.
Oral hygiene was also interesting.
People commonly brushed with datun sticks made from neem or babool. When chewed, the fibers fray into a natural brush. Neem carries antibacterial phytochemicals that suppress cavity-causing bacteria.
But the mouth is not sterilized.
The oral microbiome remains balanced.
Water tells another part of the story.
Drinking water came from wells, stepwells, ponds, and tanks. Groundwater naturally carries minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals influence gut chemistry and microbial growth.
Modern RO filtration often strips them away.
Water becomes chemically pure, but biologically poorer.
Add one more layer.
Traditional life meant constant contact with soil. Courtyards, fields, earthen floors, bare feet, clay vessels. Soil microbes interacted daily with human skin and immune systems.
Today immunologists call this the “hygiene hypothesis”.
When microbial exposure disappears, immune systems become confused. Allergies and autoimmune diseases rise.
The pattern becomes hard to ignore.
Traditional Indian hygiene did not aim for sterility.
It aimed for equilibrium.
Clean surfaces.
Living ecosystems.
Modern science is slowly rediscovering the same idea through microbiome research, fermented foods, and probiotic therapy.
Which leaves an uncomfortable question.
If the future of medicine is restoring microbial balance, were many traditional Indian practices quietly doing exactly that all along? 🧬
When you spend time in the forest, you realize you are just one more Life. It is a huge spiritual step to feel for Life around you the way you feel for yourself. #SadhguruQuotes

Congratulations to the Govt. of Tamil Nadu for implementing a vital part of the Save Soil policy of allowing farmers to grow trees of great value to enhance farmer economy and also enhancing soil quality which is a proven method that we have implemented through #CauveryCalling. Truly, once again, thank you to the Tamil Nadu government for making a significant part of Save Soil policy alive in Tamil Nadu. -Sg

We may not always be able to change the physical situations around us. But no one can stop us from changing the way we Experience them. #SadhguruQuotes
living Truth
You may have enough iron
In your Blood
But do you have enough
steel in your spine
To not only stand for
Truth but to bend, twist,
turn and live for Truth
Truth not of just the speaking
Kind but of breath, body & Being
Truth in the lap of which
Life lingers momentarily
shall become Momentous
If you shall not lie to yourself
of its fickle nature
To make lies you need
talent, culture, traditions
and ingenuity of social charm
To be in Truth just
The Audacity of self-sacrifice
Sadhguru
