Man to Man

Sometimes you have wind in your stomach, This indicates your apana and prana are not in balance. A lot of wind can make you bulky and fat. Asafoetida can help with this problem.

Asafoetida is very good for sexual potency. It is called the 'diamond to the poor". It is one of the best things for procuring your sexual efficiency. It gives you mental balance. Take asafoetida, saute it in ghee and add it to your food. Potentially it is very healthy, but it does have a very powerful odor.

Asafoetida also comes in a homeopathic form; 6X or 12X can be taken twice a day to take care of wind problems. However, this form is not useful in building potency.

"Don't misunderstand—I am a married man and I learned all these things by the goodness of God to share with you. So I would mix the masala with the cauliflower and put a little black pepper with it and make a stuffed chapati. I would make it with ghee and eat it. After eating I would usually sleep and God, when I would get up from the bed, I would go up to the roof and then I would look around for someone who would want to talk to me. Can you believe that?"

Cheese

Some of you are creating another problem. You're eating too much cheese. I know it tastes good, but it is also very heavy to digest. The best cheese is panir, homemade cheese. Once in awhile commercial cheese is fine. Cottage cheese is okay.

Bamboo Juice or Tabashi

Supports the liver. When you add tabashi to a masala, any sexual problem due to the liver will go away.

Q: What about cheese made from wheat milk?

Yogi Bhajan: Oh, nakasta. Nakasta is very good. It is very good for the lower back.

Castor Oil

It is the most strong, potent oil. About one ounce of Castor Oil in your mouth with a glass of cardamom milk; it is a miracle work, it will do a miracle. You can also use it to massage the anal sphincter and keep the tissues of the perineum healthy.

Diamond Dust

Diamond dust is a reddish powder that has been used for centuries in India. It is used with certain abnormal conditions. Before age 35 it is used once in a while, and after 35 it may be taken daily for 20 - 40 days and then stop. The best times of the year are spring; fall and winter. It must not be taken in the summer.

Ghawan Prash

Another very good remedy for men is chawan prash. It’s like a black marmalade, which comes out of the bamboo shoot. In India it was known before the time of Alexander the Great. Just spread it on a piece of toast and eat it.

Chestnut Milk

Another simple recipe that is pure sex food is water and chestnuts. Soak the chestnuts in water overnight then blend and strain.

Eggplants

Eggplants are called the 'testicles of God/ (See Recipe Italiano)

Figs

Figs can make you a sexual pig. In the book from the Women's Course, I have taught how to inject saffron in the figs and preserve them in the refrigerator, and people do enjoy it. They get beautiful results from it. But today I will tell you what else you can do with a fig. Take figs, maybe 20-25, blend them with yogurt and drink it.

Man To Man

To Man

Q: Does it matter if these are the dry figs or the fresh figs?

Yogi Bhajan: Absolutely fresh: One cup of yogurt to ten to fifteen figs is good. It becomes thick and can be eaten with a spoon. In the scriptures, it is said that if there is any sexual or nervous disability, this can correct it. Eat this with, nothing else. It's a complete mono diet.

Try it for one week; I prefer two weeks myself. It's good. You must understand when you work hard, you need the energy. Without hard work, you can't make your life and without life you can't have hard work. So you need the energy for creative purposes.

It is a creative energy. Sexual energy is nothing but creative energy. Don't mix up these two energies and think one is creative and one is noncreative. Both are creative; it is all in how you use it.

Q: On the yogurt and fig diet how much can you eat of that a day?

Yogi Bhajan: A normal, sophisticated human, should decide the amount, the quality and quantity. Don't overtax yourself.

Ghee

When a man uses more ghee in his food than any other oi!, normally he will not have any problem in his sexual life. Ghee is very compatible with the body and it does not create an over or under weight condition. It creates healthy semen and you avoid potential problems.

Gold Leaf

Gold leaf is only recommended to eat with a few things— one is papaya and the others are fig, apple and also carrot— and for longevity and good health, gold leaf with date.

Golden Milk

This is a drink made from turmeric, milk and oil. It is very good for the spine and lubricates joints, helping to break up calcium deposits.

Lotus Root

A very good food for sexual potency as well, can be eaten fresh or steamed, if you can only find dried lotus root, it makes a great tonic when cooked in soups or teas.

Mango Powder

Mango powder is a mine for sex; it triggers, or initiates balance in your sexual capacity. It won't let you down, when they want you up. Take a banana and split it down the center; put mango powder in the center of it, fill it up, about two tablespoons, and then put lemon juice on it. You are set.

Masala

This is the basic foundation of a vegetable curry dish. It is usually made of onions, garlic and ginger with various spices. This particular spice combination is recommended for men to recover their energy and potency.

Ground fennel seeds mixed with nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. You can also include poppy seeds and oregano for a more savory, less sweet masala. When you use cardamom, any problem with the area around the spleen will go away. Poppy and oregano seed are used when the digestive tract is not digesting well and it gives you wind (gas), which can create problems sexually. They also help in cases of hernia and moderating your sexual discharge, when you are either over stuck or too stimulated. Also, use these seeds when you are nervous and you need the stimulant strength of your nerves; you can mix them in. This masala can be used to make cauliflower chapati or parantha.

CL We have a list of things for special effects; shall we throw them all in together?

Reply: No, sir. It is better to deal with one at a time. Too much atomic energy can make a cinder out of the whole thing. So don't make a Hiroshima out of yourself.

Q: After eating the stuffed chapati, and after you sleep, what happens?

Reply: It gives you a very balanced sleep because it stimulates the entire system; it tunes up the nervous system and you get a very good sleep and after that you have a good day at work and after that you know what you do, you know what I mean? Create first what you want to use. Don't overtax your body's system. That's what I'm trying to tell everybody.

Q: Can women and children eat these kinds of foods?

Reply: I would suggest that women can and I'll suggest that a child between 12 and 15; it's a stimulant food. There's no doubt about it. It can give him a good nervous strength but it may make him more horny and the guy may go berserk. I don't think that you should stimulate children too much.

Mung Beans and Rice

Mung beans and rice is a very standard fast, it's a very cleansing fast. Mung beans and rice and yogurt is known to be the fast of the angels. It's a simple, poor man's fast— mung beans and rice with yogurt—you can live on it. You can live healthy for years and years and years and you'll never be sorry for it, I have seen a very saintly person—in summer he had mung beans and rice, he would make it at night, and early in the morning eat it with the yogurt. Then the whole day he wouldn't eat anything. But during the winter, when it was very, very cold, he would grind chilis and make the mung beans and rice very hot, and eat it with yogurt. God, you can't believe it. In the whole house where that man sat, he created a radiant light. And he did nothing else. Just from food. That was his specialty. Early in the morning, there would be a line, half a mile long. He would cook enough to feed that many. People would bring milk, mung beans and rice to him and tell him of their wishes and have them answered. They would say, "Sir, I have this sickness, or I have that sickness." it didn't matter. He gave everyone mung beans and rice and yogurt. Everybody. People were cured and that is why they call it "food of the angels. " It's very simple, it's very honest, and it's very easy to digest. It has protein, it has the carbohydrates, it has all the combinations you need. I recommend when you make mung beans and rice, put a lot of vegetables in it. Make it a little tasty. Americans are rich, so you should make that food rich, too.

Q: Should we use spices?

Yogi Bhajan: Yes, you can add spices. As a mono diet, it is a very cleansing diet.

Pistachios

Pistachio is another nut I recommend to you. Eat a handful of raw, unsalted and unskinned pistachio nuts daily.

Poor Man's Diamond Dust or Hot Golden Yogurt

Now we come to what you call the "poor man's diamond dust." Blend a glass of milk (16 oz.) with 10 green chiles and turmeric.

Q: Are we to Usejalapehos?

Yogi Bhajan: Yes. I mean real Mexican chiles. After it is blended, boil it and make yogurt out of this mixture. Next put some turmeric in it. In the morning, eat 8-10 ounces of this yogurt. Then put some weights on your feet or you may end up flying all around the room.

Q: The turmeric gets boiled in?

Yogi Bhajan: Yes, turmeric is boiled in—a tablespoon for 16 ounces of milk will make two servings.

Q: Should the chile peppers be raw?

Yogi Bhajan: Yes, raw.

Q: Do you have to saut4 the turmeric to make it digestible?

Yogi Bhajan: Turmeric is always best cooked. You can either boil or saut6 it. If you boil it, boil it in water. If you saute it, saut§ it in ghee.

Nut Paste

There are certain foods that are a must for you. There is a potency food made of onion, ginger, garlic, saffron, pistachio nuts arid almonds, (see recipes)

Peaches

Peaches do not grow on the beaches but eat them. Peaches have to teach you how to be a man. All "P" fruits (peaches, plums, papayas, pineapples, pears, and persinimons) are good for men's creativity. The best way to eat them is to blend them well with yogurt. If you are not hypoglycemic, you can put honey in it.

Q: Could you use kefir instead of yogurt?

Potent Potatoes

By the way,, don't forget potent potatoes. Some people are so funny. Some people take potent potatoes without yogurt. Potent potatoes must be eaten with yogurt to balance their energy, (see recipes)

Yogi Bhajan: At thattime I did not know about kefir and I cannot change what I have been taught by my teachers. It is written yogurt, so it has to be yogurt.

—Yogi Bhajan

Whey

A great source of protein and should be a staple in the diet.

Anytime in the year, but especially when it is summertime, you can go on a watermelon fast but it must be done alone. Eat nothing else.

Banyan Milk Fast

Eat banyan milk with yogurt for six days. This is especially good in the spring.

In the morning, before using, place them into a blender and blend them up with either skim milk or water. Strain (if you do not want to drink the fiber), add honey and its ready to drink. If you want to drink it cold, you can add ice before you blend.

This drink can be taken one time in the morning, afternoon, late afternoon, and at night, but do not drink it more than four times a day. There is no quantity restriction of how much to drink at each meal. Only do this diet for 5 days.

The Basics

Ghee also known as Clarified Butter

Simmer sweet butter (unsaited butter) for 10 minutes over medium heat. After it has settled for a few minutes, remove all the white foam from the top. A clear yellow ghee will be left on the bottom. Pour this into a container, not allowing any white sediment at the bottom to slide in. Ghee will keep on the shelf (unrefrigerated) for several weeks and it is very low in cholesterol.

How to Make Your Own Whey

Use one-half gallon milk and the juice of two lemons. Bring the milk to a boil and then remove from heat. Add the lemon juice and let the mixture sit. Curds and whey will form. The liquid is the whey. The curds can be strained through cheesecloth to make panir.

Rinse mung beans and rice. Add mung beans to boiling water and cook until beans begin to split. Add rice and cook another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Now add the vegetables. (Alternatively, one could add the vegetables along with the rice.) As the mixture cooks, it will start to thicken. Heat the ghee or vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add onions, ginger, and garlic and saute until clear. Add spices and cook 5 more minutes, stirring constantly. Add this to the rice and beans. The final consistency should be like a thick soup. Total cooking time is about 1% hours. Add salt or soy sauce to taste. Serve plain or with yogurt. Makes 4 servings.

Chapati

Chapati flour is the best if you can get it. Otherwise, whole wheat flour with a bit of pastry flour and a pinch of salt. Add water until it holds together like an elastic, bread dough. Knead it for about 10 minutes. Then let it rest. Take a pinch of dough and roll it out into a circle and bake it on a flat iron skillet. Cook it dry on one side until bubbles form and then turn it over and finish on the second side. Stack with ghee if you're making multiple chapatis at once.

to treat the underlying poor digestion. the cause of the diarrhea.

7\s a digestive aid, Ayurveda considers nutmeg to be similar in action to cinnamon and clove, if necessary any can be substituted [or the other, it reduces high air tattua. A typical combination for suppressed digestive function includes dry ginger, caraway and nutmeg, taken before meals.

Nutmeg is cultivated in Southern India, but most nutmeg in the United States comes from the Caribbean. The vast majority of nutmeg in the world is cultivated and harvested for culinary use. Seek out fresh, quality whole nutmeg nuts for maximum benefit.

Whole seeds preserve the active ingredients well, but the active ingredients degrade rap­ idly upon grmding. Use bulk powdered seed, freshly ground. Nutmeg has a very strong taste.

Capsules prepared from seeds that are freshly ground and immediately encapsulated retain the medicinal effects.

Compared to other common herbal relaxcints, nutmeg is very powerful. If used in an exces­ sively high dose while awake, the user will feel stupor and disorientation from the sedative effect, as with any other powerful relaxant.

Smaller people and those with low blood pres­ sure should start with smaller doses and proceed with caution. Tjlso. those with a history of drug abuse or alcoholism should approach using nutmeg with caution.

Lassi

When there is a slight kidney pain either left or right, for which you have no reason, and it goes away and comes back and goes away and comes back, it means the kidneys are fatigued. For this there is nothing better than this simple lassi:

2 ounces of yogurt

10ounces of water Pinch of black salt

Blend and place outside by 4pm until 8 am the next morning. Then in the morning sip it slowly, let it mix with your saliva.

You can supplement this lassi with a second drink:

2ounces each: Pomegranate juice Cranberry juice Pear juice

Orange juice 1to 1 Vi bananas

Blended until smooth. Drink this after the lassi and you will have 'wings' all day long.
