Acharya Balkrishna's Appeal to World

Acharya Balkrishna
I am confident that with our firm pledge and
efforts, Ayurveda will transform the lives of
peasants, laborers, farmers and will make the
world prosperous in real sense. Ayurveda is
still embedded somewhere deep into our hearts. In
our routine life, our elders suggest to take
celery or asafetida in case of stomach ache or
gastric problem. In case of cold, cough or
jugular related problem, we are advised not to
drink cold water while tea made of ginger, basil,
black pepper and honey is considered quite
relieving. In case of injury or pain, warm milk
with pint of turmeric powder is a time tested
remedy since ages. All these suggestions given by
the ancestors are the part of Ayurvedic culture
and tradition.

• Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev has exhorted that priority
  shall be given to the Ayurvedic system of
  medicine and treatment as most of the people
  still depends on it. This medicinal science is
  related to our farms, jungles and even kitchen.
  Still there is an apathetic attitude of some
  people towards it which is quite disheartening.
• Today, allopathy is more in practice even for
  minor diseases and in such circumstances, it is a
  big challenge to make Ayurveda more accepted
  among the masses. But, now the time is changing
  and not only the policy makers of India, but
  people in rest of the world too are realizing the
  importance of Ayurvedic medicines. Who could have
  thought some years back that people with
  up-bringing in cosmopolitan culture would prefer
  bottle gourd juice or emblica officinalis (amla)
  juice over carbonated soft-drinks in the near
  future.

• Ayurveda is the only effective option for us to
  keep healthy. One who practices yoga regularly,
  can keep always healthy. By practicing yoga one
  can get even victory over death. People of
  corporate and affluent families have embraced
  Ayurveda in the modern age. This is the success
  of the ancient tradition of seers.
• It is a big challenge and responsibility to
  manufacture high quality medicines at bare
  minimum prices, preparation of cosmetic products
  with a mix of herbal products and other harmless
  ingredients and preparation of daily routine
  items and ultimate quality edibles. With all
  ultra-modern machines, advanced technology and
  standards based on traditional values and ideals.

• The mother earth would be saved from getting
  poisonous by the use of chemical fertilizers and
  pesticides, the people would not consume poison
  in the form of edibles, small children would not
  be victims of cancer or kidney related diseases
  and would not die before the eyes of their
  parents due to consumption of intoxicants. Come,
  we seek your cooperation in building a prosperous
  and happy nation and the world.
