Good afternoon. I would like to tell you about two or three treasures we have here. These are powerful tools to keep our health in its best shape. These are treasures from India that Swāmījī brought for us. He ensured we would have enough for all of you, so we all can be healthy. He even stopped all constructions on Om Ashram so that people could prepare these treasures for us. The fruits come from trees about five meters tall, and harvesting them is not easy. Indian technology called "Jugaad" had to be used, and thanks to that, we have them here. The first treasure I would like to introduce is called Bābūl. It is wonderful for supporting our immune system and for digestion. Bābūl helps to increase white blood cells and improves our digestion. Since healthy digestion is the base for good health, this improves our whole wellbeing. If you have irritation in the stomach or intestines, diarrhea, eczema, or problems with teeth, Bābūl is the right thing for you. Swāmījī also pointed out that it is a special treasure for women, as it greatly aids the proper functioning of women's organs. This is connected to hormones, which in turn are connected to our mood. I suggest you take it home to your grandmothers, mothers, and wives if they are not here. It will definitely help bring harmony to the family. How to use it? It's simple. Take just a few pieces—the amount depends on their size—and boil them in water for three to five minutes, then drink it like tea. What's left, don't throw away; it's best to eat it. I must admit, it's not very tasty, but Swāmījī says mixing it with other vegetables is fine. It's easy and pleasant; you just cook it, drink it, and that's it. Swāmījī suggests you can put it into a vegetable mixture and eat it with other vegetables. Śāntī says the tea made from it is delicious. The next treasure is the vegetable Saṅgrī. It is dried, so you can always have it on hand when you come home and don't have time to buy fresh vegetables. The only difference is that it's dried, so it needs to be soaked. The cooking time depends on the soaking time beforehand. You can soak it overnight or for half an hour before cooking. To make it more tasty, it's good to use more spices than you typically use for fresh vegetables. If you are unsure how to cook it, the best is to look at the "Yoga in Daily Life" YouTube channel and search for "Umapuri" or "Umapuri cooking." There is a 15-minute video showing how to cook it properly. Why is it healthy? It contains a lot of fiber and many minerals like zinc, iron, and magnesium. It also contains many saponins, which are helpful for removing harmful substances from the body. So, when you combine Bābūl and Saṅgrī, you provide your body with what it needs and support the elimination of what is harmful. The last thing I have here is holy water, which I don't need to talk about much because Swāmījī already mentioned it during the lecture. You can buy all these things at the Bhakti shop next to the office. There is a last box of Bābūl there, so hurry up. When you buy it, please use it daily. Don't forget about it in a drawer. Thank you.
