My
beloved country India has registered phenomenal growth after independence –
this is how it is projected. Agreed that in terms of material growth, we have
prospered but we have suffered huge losses as far as good health and long life
is concerned. “Ideal Character and Good Health” have been our hallmark which
regrettably is on the urge of extinction. It is rare to find such people who
possess a strong character together with good health. It is really sad that a
good majority of people in India now depend on allopathic treatment and
medicines even in the face of the ill-impacts which treatment has generated. In
Indian tradition, doctors are considered epitome of God on earth and Ayurvedic
treatment is a boon, but now a good doctor is a business tycoon and medical
science more of a curse than a boon. Doctors in big multi-spatiality hospitals
work to achieve targets set for them for a period in most unethical and
shameless fashion with the aim of earning maximum money. The patients have to
be very cautious of the fraudulent ways of doctors.
It
is important for a person who wants to lead a disease-free life to understand
how disease are born at all the three levels-body, soul and mind. There are
many reasons for a complex disease but it is basically rooted in improper
education and ignorance. Improper education in fact is the root cause of all
kinds of diseases which can be cured only through proper education. Illness can
be seen as nature’s signal that something is wrong somewhere. It is a kind of
warning how the disease entered our body and if we keep ignoring the reasons
and get late in responding to them, the disease reaches a complex level.
It
is very unfortunate that our society provides a disarranged sense as to how to
live, what to think and how to behave. The researchers at “Stony Brook
University, New York” have established that bad life style is responsible for
the continuously rising cases of cancer worldwide. They assert that 9 out of 10
cancer patients can be cured simply by correcting their lifestyle. This
research has appeared recently in the journal nature. It is therefore,
important to adopt healthy life style or else will be trapped by ailments.
The
climatic conditions of India are considered to be the best in the world.
According to our sages, Indians can live up to 100 years without suffering any
ailment. How unfortunate it is that India has now turned into a hub of diseases
such as diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, heart diseases and other
neuromuscular disorder. As per the data released by “National Institute of
Occupational Health” 32% of employed youth suffer from various kinds of pains –
migraine being the major one. Almost 13% of the young population have to leave
their jobs due to chronic pains. 36% of our population suffer from high blood
pressure at the age of 40. The number of diabetes patients in the country has
crossed 5 crore and it is expected to reach 10 crore mark by 2015.
Every individual
has to account for his good health, everything else is secondary. It is the
first and foremost call for all the countrymen to come forward and contribute
towards “healthy India” campaign by way of promoting education, health and our
value system-the three gems fostered by our sages. All those who are wise and
love the rich cultured heritage of our country should devote all their energies
towards fulfilling these three objectives.
This book
presents essential rules for attaining good health and for prevention of
illness. Hope this proves to be useful for all especially the younger
generation who are unaware of the rules of good health. They will surely be
benefitted to get all of them placed together.
Our country is
the land of sages where the skills and medicines like “Sanjeevani” were
discovered which could resenscitatea dead man and bring back youth in the life
of the aged. It is certain that the old wisdom of our sacred land would be revived
and it would help in creating a “healthy India”. The globe will once again
witness a golden era where right thinking will be developed and humanity will
flourish. It is our duty to help the divine forces in the “Healthy India”
campaign.
If you like this
book, make it a point to present it to family and friends on festivals and
other occasions thereby.
