Great Indian Health Tradition
*******************************
The GREAT SEERS (ऋषि ) of India …got the knowledge from…Lord Shiva him-self and from other SEERS (ऋषि )…like ..Dhanvantri…Chavanya Rishi …Acharya Surhrut …and attained …a very clear and HOLISTIC understanding about the importance and methodology of …Health & Wellness…in human life.
Due to compassion for humanity …they have very nicely… INTEGRATED these great learning and medical knowledge … in the day to day LIFE-STYLE of a common-man …as an inseparable part of life …as medicinal spices in our food …yoga…pranayam …popular home remedies …Ayurveda…good emotional & spiritual health guidelines …(See EQ& SQ section very soon ) …and many holistic practices which have served India very well for over 5000 years .
Compare this compassionate approach of our GREAT SEERS (ऋषि ) in Ancient India ….who mostly did not even disclose their names… to claim any credit…wrt the current Western Philosophy of PATENTING life saving medicines for the benefit of an individual or a company …and making BILLIONS of dollars per year .,,which make these medicines and treatment ….very COSTLY and BEYOND the reach of needy and suffering BILLIONS .
Divine knowledge of GREAT SEERS (ऋषि ) of India …in the area of well-ness and many other areas …is the “only body of KNOWLEDGE ” .…which …despite many challenges and many foreign rulers is…still alive & kicking … being PRACTICED in real life and providing benefits to BILLIONS …for over 5000 years ..till date…This is because this DIVINE knowledge is… based on FULL TRUTH …and has stood the TEST of LOGIC and challenges of TIME… for thousands of years .
Thus , our GREAT SEERS (ऋषि ) are helping in our “Health & Wellness Project ” even today…Our duty is to wisely and with gratitude… follow the SPIRIT …the essence of their guidance…. as per the needs of place and time…(देश & काल अनुसार ).
Massive Damage to Indian Health-care System by British
*****************************************
However , due to mischievous and DAMAGING attempts of Macaulay Education System ...introduced by BRITISH but continuing in India till date …a CONTEMPT for our glorious past HERITAGE and …traditional moral & other values was PLANTED …in the minds of all…so-called …”well educated Indians’…which sadly continues even now.
Britishers CLEVERLY instilled …inferiority complex ….about SUPERIOR knowledge and culture of India …so as to detach us from our strong ROOTS …as their India dominance strategy .
Thus , by disrespecting and IGNORING …these TIME PROVEN systems of our health care & wellness ...we lost our traditional …सुरक्षा कवच … safety shield …in health & wellness area…which had made India … one of the healthiest and most prosperous countries for over 2000 years ( 500 BC to 1750 AD ).
British LOOT for 200 years and their DESTRUCTIVE policies in health care , education …and other fields ….converted India from a land of great health , abundance ,prosperity and economic leadership (Global Top-2 ) upto 1750… into DISEASE CAPITAL of the world …full of hungry …malnourished ..starving….sick … illiterate …confused and superstitious people by 1947…at the time of our Independence .
Similar damage is seen in our moral values and other many areas…due to DISRESPECT for our most valuable thought processes …values …scriptures and traditions …based on.… hear-say …DISTORTIONS and HALF-TRUTHS…. without even trying to know the correct meaning…. (See section on EQ & SQ for more information and details …in coming days )
We must SALUTE the collective efforts of billions of Indians … including you and me …and our visionary leadership for…” World Record Growth “ and development in all sectors …in last 70 years….Indeed , India has come along way… but lot more has to be done to reach ….our PAST position of ….among TOP-2 global economies जगत गुरु …सोने की चिड़िया…which we enjoyed for over 2000 years ( 500 BC to 1750 AD ).

We could …save “Lakhs of Crore” spent on medicines and treatment per year and …improve our average productivity by 50%…by proper attention to Health and Wellness by all Indians…This is the BIG potential impact …for which all of us need to individually & COLLECTIVELY work for and effectively contribute in the broader national interest.

BASICS for Good Health
**************************
Back to BASICS …will be a graet formula for restoring …health & wellness in India and other parts of the world …Powerful three (3) step approach ….
“Know the Basics …Find the Deviations …CORRECT the Deviations “
All of us know that good health basics include …
(i)Right food habits …right content as per climatic conditions and
own age & stage …right quality & quantity …right timings.
(ii)Right exercise regime and pranayam …for better circulation of blood and oxygen …to all parts of body …for better NOURISHMENT of each cell.
(iii)Right rest , sleep and recreation …for star of each day with full energy .
(iv)Right emotional health with minimal stress…to boost our enthusiasm for successfully meeting all challenges in life .
(v) Preventive steps and immunity boosters for minimizing attack
from pollution & infection as well as deficiency diseases .
(vi)Regular use of medicinal herbs in our food as preventive , Use of home remedies and nature based Ayurvedic Medicines for small & seasonal ailments…and even for critical ailment where these have been found to be effective .
(vii) Use of modern Allopathic Medicines …& ..surgical interventions
where required .However ,full care needs to be taken about likely
adverse effects of these very strong medicines …based on my personal experience of observing large number of complex cases .
Our focus has to be on WELLNESS …which is much MORE than absence of illness …We should look forward to each day of our life with lots of enthusiasm and energy based of our physical and mental fitness …High PQ Life …(PQ=Physical Quotient )
Current ALARMING Situation …&…Declining Trend
*****************************************
My readers should not mind …and face the FACTS …about current SORRY state of health scenario in India and other parts of the world …I have visited USA many times in last 45 years …every 2-3 years since 1975 …and I have observed…steady DECLINE in health related habits in USA…more junk food & Pepsi ..less outdoor exercises and activities …more time for TV & games (couch potatoes )….to give just a few main areas of decline in heath related habits .
Due to tendency of many people to blindly COPY the trends in USA …these BAD habits have spread to many parts of the world …including India…With growing trends…we could face bigger challenges in future…if corrective actions are not taken now.
The future of any country could be PREDICTED based on attention to wellness of their CHILDREN ..food habits …work ethics & moral values …caring and sharing for have -nots …outdoor and team activities …quality of spontaneous unintended learning …of POSITIVE / NEGATIVE values… during entertainment & games ….
In all these areas Ancient India & Modern Japan …gave lots of attention to HOLISTIC life style…provide good examples and …act as Role Models in this area …We should all collect information from internet and compare with practices in modern India…USA …UK …and Europe ….with practices in Ancient India & Modern Japan …to understand the key DIFFERENCES ..in terms of INPUTS from parents .teachers and society and OUTCOMES …as moral values , attitude and behavior of students …as good and responsible future CITIZEN…Armed with this knowledge..we could take good corrective actions.
Gross NEGLECT of above BASICS related to good health …due to non-holistic life style and lopsided pre-occupation with job or business for… MONEY making and then spending LAKHs in medical TREATMENT …has become order of the day …in India and many arts of the world.
Due to defective living habits …life style diseases …diabetics …high BP ..heart problems …joint pains …pain in neck area & back …are seen at relatively young age in late 20s and mid 30s …which were earlier seen only after 50 to 60 years of age .

*****************************************
There is urgent need to …start giving TOP PRIORITY… and due attention to basics of good health so as to RESTORE the right balance in our life .We need to understand that good life at personal and family level is possible only on the FOUNDATION of good health ……पहला सुख निरोगी काया .

Some Disturbing FACTS about spread of COVID-19
*****************************************
COVID-19 appears to have caused biggest HAVOC in ….six western countries …
USA…Spain…Italy…France…UK …
Germany …These six (6) countries have… collective population of around 650 million …around 8.3 % population of the world . However , they sadly account for…dis proportionally HIGH number of COVID-19 cases and deaths …around 65% CASES of COVID-19 …(15.6 Lakh out of 24.28 Lakh) and…around 75% DEATHS …(1.25 Lakh out of 1.66 Lakh) due to COVID-19...as on April 20 , 2020.
This DIS-PROPORTIONATELY large numbers of COVID-19 cases in… USA ..Spain ..Italy..France..UK ..Germany …could be traced to ….thoughts process & behavior ..based on priority to “short-term gains “..in these countries …Inability to accept..short term losses (STL) and ...मेरी मर्जी …tendency to AVOID the SELF-DISCIPLINE of lock-down…even for much BIGGER …long term gains (LTG)….by both the government and people of these countries…These are some of the most important reasons for …much larger spread of Corona in these countries…These losses could have been REDUCED to… less than ONE-FIFTH… of current levels … by more SELF-DISCIPLINE…and greater FOCUS on long term gains instead of STG …and… other normal precautions …
All these examples clearly bring out the FACT that…LESS Self-Control and DESIRE first (मेरी -मर्जी )approach …instead of MORE Self-Control and DUTY first (तेरी मर्जी ) approach…leads to HUGE problems for…our SELF … our SOCIETY and for the whole WORLD .
