Dinacharya challenge

Dinacharya is a set of tools that allows you to keep your body and mind free of impurities.  Apart from cleansing your body and mind, it also nourishes the seven tissue systems (dhatus).   Dinacharya involves a set of self care and awareness tools which balance our energy, calm the mind, cleanse the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin) and strengthens digestion.

By following Dinacharya, your immune system will soar and many of your ailments will slowly disappear.  It is the best preventative medicine known to man.
