Question
I recently had a headache and wanted to take some asprin to help it, but I didn’t because I thought that maybe it wasn’t a "natural" solution. So my question is, are there medicines that are recommened by Yoganandaji or Swami Kriyananda for various illnesses,or should I let it "run its course"?
Answer
Your question is a good one. It is asked by many, i.e. are medicines “good or bad” and how should we as yogis approach our physical bodies.
Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda do not promote certain medicines for specific illnesses. Yogananda does talk a lot about diet and exercise, and of course the Energization Exercises as an energetic way of dealing with all physical, emotional and spiritual ills.
