Dharma No.8


Around 6 – 6.30 pm, drink another liter to liter and a half water at a stretch. This time concentrate on the intestines for a third free bowel movement. You can eat your evening meal only if you achieve this third free motion. It means your morning breakfast is digested completely, and you feel hungry again. After a shower, you should have your dinner before sunset. If you don’t do much physical work, you should eat bread, pulkas with raw or cooked vegetables. Raw vegetables are useful for those who have chronic diseases or are obese. If you had worked physically during the day, you can eat rice. But people above 50, those who do not work very hard, and those who wish to get well more quickly will eat only fruits, coconut and dates. You can have buttermilk or just rice with curd if you like.

If you eat 60% raw food (vegetable juice, sprouted seeds, fruits, coconut and dates) and 40% cooked food (lunch and dinner), it means you have fulfilled your dharma of food properly. After dinner, you eat no more for the rest of the night.
