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.
