Top 10 Food of Winter - Njoyy D Winter -

 Stay Health n Happy

 

Traditionally, vegetables and fruits have been seasonal. But research suggests that eating with the season is healthier as there is a variation in the nutrient content of veggies when they are harvested off-season. Here s a list of veggies, fruits and nuts that have traditionally been available during the winter months: Winter is the season for fresh citrus fruits and oranges are our top pick here. This tart-sweet fruit packs in a load of the very essential vitamin-C — that helps your body in its fight against germs; in addition to potassium, folate, minerals and fibre. What more, you ask? It s low in calories too! Have you started eating them yet? 

 

Peanuts: A source of vitamins, potassium, protein, carbohydrates, calcium and fat – peanuts are good for you in so many ways. Roast or boil some peanuts and have them with your tea this chilly evening or make some peanut burfi, because they freshly arrive in the winter. 

 

Well, we have all heard it – An apple a day, keeps the doctor away. This otherwise super-expensive fruit is available in plenty during the chilly months, which makes it more affordable. Bite into one for your mid-day snack, and reap its benefits! 

 

Next on our list are carrots. This root vegetable has more carotene (what the body converts to vitamin-A) than any fruit or vegetable. In addition, carrots are an excellent source of vitamins B, C, D, E and K, as well as calcium pectate (a pectin fibre that has cholesterol-lowering properties). Make gajar (carrot) halwa or eat them raw, this one is a must have. 

 

A winter crop, the mustard plant s leaves are highly nutritious. The young tender leaves of the plant are flavourful and very popular in the state of Punjab. Fresh mustard greens are an excellent source of several vital antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and carotenes. Include the goodness of these leaves in your diet this winter season.

 

.

 Add them in your pulav or make some yummy muttar panner (peas and cottage cheese gravy). Peas, with their sweet taste and starchy texture come loaded with phytonutrients that provide us with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Further, recent research shows that these legumes  can help prevent stomach cancer. 

 

The best turnips come to the market in this season. A root vegetable about the size of an apple, turnips pack in insoluble fibre, folates, vitamins and minerals. This root vegetable has a rather pungent taste, which becomes mild after cooking. 

 

It s counted among the world s healthiest veggies, thanks to its nutrient richness. Vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and a host of flavonoids that offer antioxidant protection – this leafy vegetable – has them all. Whether you choose to make some palak paneer (spinach and cottage cheese gravy), or just stir fry it, make sure you re eating this one! 

 

We all know it better as methi, loaded with vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytonutrients. It can lower cholesterol, help keep your diabetes under check and more. Make those methi parathas, today! 

 

Radish, a root crop that is pungent or sweet in taste is available in plenty during winter. This root vegetable has a lot of roughage and is a powerhouse of potassium, folic acid and ascorbic acid. Eat it raw, make parathas, sambhar or whatever.

Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.

Origin, Benefits and Chanting of the Gayatri Mantra

The Vedas are widely considered to be the source of all true knowledge, the word "Veda" itself meaning "Knowledge". Gayatri Devi also gave to mankind the "Gayatri Mantra", also known as the "Guru Mantra" or the "Savitri Mantra". It is one of the oldest mantras, and generally thought of as being amongst the highest and most powerful mantras of all. This mantra is therefore often referred to as "the Mother of the Vedas". In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna had proclaimed to Arjuna - "Among all the mantras, I am the Gayatri".

Rishis selected the words of the Gayatri Mantra and arranged them so that they not only convey meaning but also create specific power of righteous wisdom through their utterance. The ideal times for chanting the mantra are three times a day - at dawn, mid-day, and at dusk. These times are known as the three sandhyas - morning, mid-day and evening. The maximum benefit of chanting the mantra is said to be obtained by chanting it 108 times. However, one may chant it for 3, 9, or 18 times when pressed for time. The syllables of the mantra are said to positively affect all the chakras or energy centres in the human body - hence, proper pronunciation and enunciation are very important.

Chanting of Gayatri Mantra removes all obstacles in our path to increased wisdom and spiritual growth and development. The teachings and powers incorporated in the Gayatri Mantra fulfill this purpose. Righteous wisdom starts emerging soon after Jap(recitation) of the Gayatri Mantra is performed. Sathya Sai Baba teaches that the Gayatri Mantra "will protect you from harm wherever you are, make your intellect shine, improve your power of speech, and dispel the darkness of ignorance (Dhiyoyonah prachodayaath)".

Peace Hope and Love

And Happy New Year

 

 

 

 

This 

Xmas, 
I would 
Like to put 
Up a tree in my 
Heart, and instead 
Of hanging presents, 
I would like to put the 
Names of all my friends. 
Close friends and not so close 
Friends. The old friends, the new 
Friends. Those that I see every day 
And the ones that I rarely see. The ones 
That I always remember and the ones that 
I sometimes forget. The ones that are always 
There and the ones that seldom are. The friends of 
Difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends 
Who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or without meaning 
To have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know By name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much. My humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those That have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with Very deep roots and very long And strong branches so that 
Their names may never be 
Plucked from my heart. So 
That new names from all 
Over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very 
Pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a 
Moment of rest from the battles of life. "May the 
Happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of 
The new year". These are my sincere wishes.

Happy New Year 2015 - CAKE

 

Another year has come to an end.
I would like to thank all my friends and well wishers for keeping in touch with me
Either thru messages or calls or only thru smileys
Each quote or advice gave me encouragement
Each joke brought a smile on my face

I made many new friends but haven't forgotten the old bcoz all of you have taught me to stay in touch,in happiness or sorrow..I am really blessed to have such lovely people in my life whom I call my friends and well wishers
Do stay connected

 

 

 

As the dawn breaks on a New Year, let us give thanks for all we hold dear: Our health, our family, our friends, the grace of universe which never ends. Let us release our grudges, anger and pains, for these are nothing but binding chains. Let us vow to live each day in the most pious, self conscious way. Let us vow to serve all who are in need, regardless of race, caste, gender or creed. Let us vow to keep love in our heart, . Let us vow to lead the world from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, and from wrong to right. And let us vow to remember that we are all one, embracing all, discriminating against none. May your year be filled with prosperity and peace, and love and joy which doesn't cease. 

May you have success in all you do. And may every blessings be showered upon you.
