Yagya Therapy Increases Immunity and Vitality

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.
