What is a stroke?
Stroke is a sudden loss of function of a portion of the brain due to either blockage of blood flow or rupture of a blood vessel. The former is called stroke and the latter is called bleeding stroke. This results in loss of function of part of the body.
Blood flowing to the brain carries oxygen and nutrition. Brain cells cannot survive without these two essential elements. They are carried by 4 blood vessels (Vessels are like tubes carrying water): two in the front and two at the back.

Ageing - A Myth
Online talk for Handi-Care Intl., Canada!
Shri. Ranagarajan
12 September 2021 9.30 am to 10.30 am
While age is a fact pertaining to the body, ageing relates to the mind. Maladies such as worry, anxiety, sleeplessness, stress and fear pollute the mind and cause premature ageing. Further, the thought of inevitable death sends shivers down the spine in later years.
The pursuit of Vedanta fortifies your intellect and liberates your mind from these maladies.
Its sublime philosophy, relieves the self-hypnotic identification with body, mind and intellect to explore and discover the Immortal SELF within. With true joy radiating from within, you will then discover that ageing is a myth.
The lecture is presented by Shri. Ranagarajan, eminent Vedanta resource in the GTA disciple of Swami Parthasarathy.
