Yagya is the main process of refining mind. It helps
to protect us from the unhealthy environment. This process may increase our
lower immune from its air. This is the special medicine for the increment of
various types of disease, bacteria etc. In this context the main disease is
known as AIDS. Yagya can prevent this also.
AIDS as well as low immunity disorder syndrome
(LIDS) have posed unyielding challenges before the world today. As a result, a
patient of these syndromes practically becomes host to any kind of disease.
Even minor infections or diseases would continue to persist, aggravate and
gradually weaken his body so much so that he might eventually die in few months
unless due precautions in terms of careful diet, protection from all kinds of
bacteria and viruses and from insect bites, and strict meditation under the
guidance of specialist doctor are taken.
Bio-fluids being the carriers of the noxious HIV
virus that causes these syndromes are spread through transfusion of infected
blood and sexual intercourse with infected person. It is perhaps to prevent the
chances of such pathetic health-hazards, that our sagacious ancestors - the
rishis, had repeatedly cautioned (c.f. original texts of Ayurbeda, for instance)
against undisciplined life-style. They had emphasized on prudent control of
ahaar, (eating and drinking) and vihara (sensual pleasures).
Unfortunately, our life-style today is dominated by
comforts and quick and easy pleasures. Most people are not even aware of the
fact that their ahara-vihara decides the fate of their health. Experts too seem
to be focused more on cure than prevention. Best laboratories the world-over
are researching today to develop a vaccine to prevent the activation of the
viruses that are the cause of AIDS or LIDS and to produce effective medicines
to kill these or stop their growth. In spite of some encouraging steps, the
goal is far from sight. Incorporation of complementary medicines therefore
seems essential in the given circumstances, especially in the developing and
highly populous countries like Nepal where significantly increasing the number
of HIV-infected people or people suffering are among those deprived of medical
facilities and are the ones living under highly infection-prone conditions.
Among the time-tested complementary therapies,
Ayurveda has proved to be the best choice, as the Ayurvedic texts present
powerful remedies against ojaksaya. The prescribed preparations are mostly rasa
(+rasayanas), bhanma, avaleha, pake and ghrata and churna of selected herbs
plant medicines. These preparations consists of - churna, (fine powder) of
aswagandha, satavara, vidarikanda, giloya, numa, panchanga, tulasi, musali,
akarakarna, mulahathi etc. avaleha of aswagandha and chyauanprasha, chopachimi
paka, jivantadya ghrata, triphala ghrata, panchatikta ghrata, bhallataka
rasayana, brahmi rasayansa, asavas of kaisora guggal, kanchanara guggal and
sariva etc. dasamularista and combined bhasma of mercury and sulphur bhasmas of
gold, cupper, yashad, naga, hartaal and kasisa, kalyana sundarabhra rasa,
swarnabasant-malati rasa. These should be taken with zaharmohra pishti and
prabal pisti.
Except the fine powders, all other preparations
listed here required specific expertise. Only countable number of vaidyas
(Ayurvedic doctors who follow original approach of this Vedic science) today
would know the exact methods of preparations of bhasma and rasayanas. Moreover
the methods of preparations require no use of machines and are so tedious that
even under proper guidance of such Ayurveda experts hardly any herval
pharma-lab would be able to produce these medicines in precise form. (Most of
the terms used here are technical pertaining to original texts of Ayurveda.
Therefore, English analogues are not available). Another major constraint is
that the dosage, mode of consumption, necessary diet restrictions etc vary from
patient to patient, depending upon the latter's natural constitution and the
type and extent of the disease/syndrome. The treatment should thus proceed
under adept guidance of an experienced vaidya.
However, Yagya-therapy does not require such
constraints because only coarse powders of specific herbs/plant medicines - as
listed underneath - are to be used in the special havan samagri. So any one who
has ever participated in a havan or yagya, can do it without any difficulty or
risk. The special havan samagri should be mixed with equal proportion of the
common havan samagri. Little amounts of ghee (clarified butter) prepared from
cow's milk, molasses, til (sesamum seed), barley and rice grains are also mixed
in it. At least 24 ahutis (sacxrifices in the yagya-fire) of this preparation
should be made with chanting of the Surya Gayatri mantra.
