Today's Subhashita.

औषधेष्वपि सर्वेषु  हास्यं श्रेष्ठ  वदन्ति  ह  |
स्वाधीनं सुलभं चापि आरोग्यानन्दवर्धनम्  ||

अर्थ -       लोगों  का  कहना है  कि सभी  औषधियों में निश्चय
ही  हंसना  सबसे  श्रेष्ठ औषधि है क्योंकि यह आसानी  से मुफ़्त
में उपलब्ध हो जाती है तथा  स्वास्थ्य और आनन्द की वृद्धि करती है |

(आजकल अधिकांश नगरों मे  पार्कों मे प्रातःकाल के समय
लोगों के  समूह ठहाके  लगाते  हुए  देखे  जाते  है क्योंकि अब
यह  वैज्ञानिक रूप से भी प्रमाणित  हो गया है कि ऐसा करने से
तनाव से  मुक्ति मिलती है और इस से  स्वास्थ्य मे सुधार  होता
है |  इसी तथ्य को  इस सुभाषित में बडी सुन्दरता से व्यक्त किया
गया है  |)


Aushadheshvapi sarveshu haasyam shreshtha vadanti ha.
Svaadheenam  sulabham  chaapi  aarogyaanandvardhanam.

Aushedheshvapi = aashodheshu + api.      Aashaudheshu =
medicines.    Api = even ,also, too     Sarveshu = all.
Haasyam =  laughter.    Shreshtha = best.   Vadanti = say.
Ha = then, of course.     Svaadheenam = free, independent.
Sulabham =  easy to obtain, easily available.       Chaapi =
Cha +api.       Cha = and.         Aarogyaanandvardhanam =    
Aarogya +aanand + vardhanam.     Aarogya =  health.
Aanand = happiness.    Vardhanam = increase.

i.e.      It is truly said that among all the medicines laughter is
the best medicine among all the medicines, because it is free and
easy to obtain and its use results in increase of   happiness and
health.

(Now-a-days in parks and open spaces groups of people can be
seen in the morning laughing continuously while exercising.
This has now been recognised as 'Laughter Therapy'  and it has
been proved scientifically that it reduces depression and tension
and improves the health of the people.  This Subhashita deals
with this subject in a beautiful way.)
