Went
for a Birthday party at Middle Park Community Playground on
Sunday.(http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/albert-park/things-to-do/community-playground-albert-park)
The weather was good and the preparations are too good and looks like, I eat
too much and it caused me indigestion.Finally, after taking lots of water and
couple of Glasses of ENO, I am back to normal now.This reminds me a verse from
Bhagavad-gita Chapter6 and Verse 16,where Lord Krishna advises about the
importance of regulated eating and sleeping for a aspiring Yogi.
naty-asnatas
'tu yogo 'sti

TRANSLATION :There
is no possibility of one's becoming a yogi, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or
eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.
Further
more, interesting points from Srila Prabhupada's purport are below,
Regulation
of diet and sleep is recommended for the yogīs. Too
much eating means, eating more than is required to keep the body and soul
together. One who eats more than required will dream very much while sleeping,
and he must consequently sleep more than is required. One should not sleep more
than six hours daily. (At other places, Srila Prabhupad clarifies this point
and says that, one should sleep only as much as required. For example, a person
doing lot of physical activity might require 8 hours of sleep etc.).One who
sleeps more than six hours out of twenty-four is certainly influenced by the
mode of ignorance. A person in the mode of ignorance is lazy and prone to sleep
a great deal. Such a person cannot perform yoga.
I like the reference from Bhagavadgita.
