  19. Root Cause of Problems • Our deviation from the holistic path, • Adoption of a single-tracked approach of comfort-driven progress

  20. The Path Adopted by Rishis • The saints of our times, Mahatma Gandhi, Acharya Vinoba have shown us the ways of revival of holistic approach on the socio-economic and political fronts. • The Vichar Kranti and Yug Nirman missions of yug-rishi Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya expand it further at the mental and spiritual dimensions as well.

  21. Holistic Science of Health Integrative Approach • Naturopathy incorporates balancing the five basic elements; • Ayurveda deals with total health of mind-body system and emotional core; • Homoeopathy derives from holistic activity and effects at atomic levels

  22. Opinion of Scientific Community • Many CAM approaches to health care are scientifically in advance of those based on current Western biology and medicine. • Such theories may well constitute the next steps in our scientific understanding of biology (+ physiology) itself. - Dr. Alex Hankey of Harvard University

  23. Opinion of Scientific Community • The keynote article of eCAM_2005 cites: Considering that regulation processes are necessarily independent of each other — the reductionist perspective (i.e. the modern medical theory) — is therefore a fundamental error when considering the regulation of complex biological systems.

  24. Opinion of Scientific Community • In his paper on “Biological Coherence in Response to External Stimulai” [in the book on Th. Physics & Medicine, 1988; Springer-Verlag] Dr. Frohlich presents concrete evidence for coherent behavior in biological systems.

  25. Ayurveda • Ayurveda presents the holistic structure of regulation in any given organism. • Showing how to classify the regulatory systems that can go wrong, i.e. any failure of natural regulation processes must be an ‘imbalance in the doshas’

  26. Ayurveda • Tridosha constitutes the most compact, holistic account of organism regulation ever proposed, • Ancient Ayurvedic texts identify key properties of living organisms, more precisely and economically than modern medical text books

  27. Ayurveda • A unique feature of Ayurvedic Treatment is use of whole natural herb/plant medicines thus enabling holistic effects.

  28. Yagyopathy or Yagya-Therapy • The most practical and thorough example of HolisticMedication. • This inhalation therapy of Ayurveda makes synergistic use of Herbal/Plant Medicines

  29. Yagyopathy or Yagya-Therapy • The notable feature of yagya-therapy is that it helps simultaneous purification of the environment (which is utmost desired today even for the great benefits of pranayam-based yoga!) and balancing of eco-system.

  30. The Integrated Science of Yagya • Yagya makes holistic use of foundation energies – • Sound (by rhythmic chanting of mantra), • Heat (of the fire of medicinal wood in a specially designed kunda) and • Electricity (of ionic decomposition of the phytochemicals of herbal/plant medicinal preparation processed and sublimated in the yagya-fire)

  31. Research Outcome • Recent scientific investigations at Brahmvarchas Research Centre and DSVV, Hardwar show feasibility and remarkable of Yagya-Therapy.

  32. Research Outcome • Statistical Modelling and Assessment of yagya effect on Air-Water Pollution in Delhi. • Significant Effects of Yagya in reduction of bacteria, pathogens, microflora, etc. • No significant effect of mere burning of wood and ghee under similar condition. _______________ ** PhD of Mamta Saxena at DSVV, Hardwar in collaboration with CPCB, Delhi.

  38. In-vitro Experiments on Mycobacterium: Control Sample • Cultures grown in solid Lowerstein Jensen medium slant and Liquid Kirchnar Medium • Incubation for 8 weeks at 35O C Result: High growth

  39. In-vitro Experiment on Mycobacterium Growth: Experimental Sample Treated only by ‘Fumes’ of Burning Wood. • Cultures grown in solid Lowerstein Jensen medium slant and Liquid Kirchnar Medium • ‘Treated’ for 40 min. using SKC 2000 air-check sampler pump • Incubation for 8 weeks at 35O C Result: Growth reduced only by 15%

  40. In-vitro Experiment on Mycobacterium Growth: Experimental Sample Treated only by ‘output’ of Yagya • Cultures grown in solid Lowerstein Jensen medium slant and Liquid Kirchnar Medium • ‘Treated’ for 40 min. using SKC 2000 air-check sampler pump • Incubation for 8 weeks at 35O C Result: Significant reduction in growth (by 75%)
