How long one can live?

In Indian Astrology, Purnayu or a complete life is considered to be 120 years old.

The man can live 120 years, if he / she keep their  health by following moderation in thought,action, food and drink.
  • fitness of the body -through yama & niyama - exercises, flexing the body (asana), regulating the food&drink by taking only fresh hygenic natural vegetable food and clean water.
  • fitness of the prana- to control the pranic energy( its present in every cell  and its different from mitochondrial ATP) -through "pranayama" -"breathing exercises" - controlling the breath voluntarily.(from autonomous control to voluntary control) 
  • fitness of the mind - through meditation & service - doing daily one can reach the state of calmness of mind and through service with love one can reduce the ego. 
  • fitness of the  attitude, perception, frame of the mind , consciousness - expanding consciousness from self orientation to society orientation and then gradually  to universal and then towards abstractness. 
  • why and for what purpose we have to lead the lives?
     in sanskrit its called as purushardha.
    Purusharthas – The Human Goals - are Dharma ,  Artha  Karma ,Moksha .

    The ardha we have attained and the  desires we have satiated should be only through the path of  dharma and then only the man reaches the final goal -MOKSHA .

    Your thought, your deed ,your perception, your attitude and your consciousness- all should follow the DHARMA.
