These potent rites were formulated over 2500 years ago by the monks, and were first revealed to the world by a retired British army officer who went high into the Himalayas to learn the rites from the monks. Subsequently, a book called the Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth was published by Peter Kelder. The DVD showcases how to do the rites in a simple and harmonious manner. In essence they slow down the ageing process and fill one with a vibrant young-looking energy. As a result one can accomplish a lot more, and one looks and feels young despite the passing years very much like Raageshwari.
