Sadhguru: The simple thing is just this:
hot water, a little bit of honey, a little bit of turmeric. The Harvard University,
they're conducting a research on, “How the yoga practitioners
are, they're surviving better?” It will boost the immune system,
but at the same time, it’s like a gauge. So those of you who are looking for
a magic wand, way out of the virus situation, there is no magic wand. Very conscientious,
responsible steps are needed, once we relax the
lockdown anybody's guess. Till now most of us have been
protected by isolating ourselves. Now when we have to step out,
this is when the real challenge happens. This is when really, “How responsible and
sensible we are?” matters. After the lockdown is over
when the economic process begins, the best thing you can do is: how to
enhance the immunity in your system. We can give you a protocol
how to maintain this. One thing is strict maintenance of social
distancing, this must become your religion. Okay, that is if you're religious, I'm saying
otherwise this must become your sadhana. So before you go for your morning sadhana, you must take eight to twelve leaves and put it in your mouth, chew it and keep it in your mouth. It's very important. It's in your mouth. It's most effective when its
in your mouth region. So you must keep it in your mouth, chew it
for one to two hours. Let it be there. Don't wash it up.
Don't drink it down. Let it just be there in the mouth.
Do you sadhana with that. Turmeric balls everyday mixing up, consume
this in the morning and leave it in the stomach before you
eat anything at least for one hour. Another thing is this is the amla season that
is the nelikkai for Kannada people the bettadh So right now the season is on, not those huge,
you know golf ball kind of amla, that is all hybrid amla that is also okay
if you don't find anything else. But otherwise, what grows in
the hills is only this size. You just smash one amla and put a little salt
on it and just chew it. You must keep it in your mouth and it's most
effective once again in your mouth. It must be just in your mouth
for one or two hours. This simple things will greatly
enhance your immune system. See there are many traditional things which
we can do to you know, boost our immunity. You know, the last thirty-nine years that
I am in this public life. Almost every day I
have some public event, some event which I am committed
to large groups of people. But in this thirty-nine years, in all this
travel, I have not canceled a single event because I am not well, the simple
thing that we do when, when we see that we are exposed
to infections when we're traveling, if we see there are viral infections
or influenza going on, All these years of my
visits to the United States, I don't catch influenza when
it's running rampantly all over. The simple thing is just this hot water, a
little bit of honey, a little bit of turmeric, and if it is possible, some
pudina or coriander in it a little bit. Right now this is what we are
doing to all the police personnel and the medical
personnel in our region. We are providing them what is called as
Neelavembu kashayam which works very well. We did this across Tamil Nadu
when the dengue fever was on, it made a big difference instead
of drinking just plain water. If they just drink this as a part of their
thing, I think it will definitely help. It has helped me. I'm just telling you grandmother's
stuff, not medical stuff, okay. But it's worked. It worked for my
grandmother, it worked for me. The only way is to enhance our immune system. The only way is to behave
socially in a responsible manner. This is the way forward and it's a new world
at least for the next one or two years. It is going to be a different world
than what we have lived in. Right now, many things are being done. One aspect is the Harvard University in
collaboration with the Beth Israel Hospital, Medical Centre in the United States together, they are conducting research
on how the yoga practitioners’ people have been doing some yogic practices,
“How do they respond to a virus like this? What is their resilience? Are they surviving better?” I am hundred percent sure
they are surviving better, but we need what to say
medical evidence for this, but I am hundred percent sure. Because I have not heard of a single case
of any of our meditators dying. Some of them have lost their parents, aged
relatives, but not meditators, related. So, yoga doesn't come through blood. You got to do it. You, that's the only problem
with the damn thing. It works miraculously,
but you have to do it. (Yoga yoga yogeshwaraya chant) So, what we're doing this simple mantra,
you must understand, what we are calling as a mantra is
just a certain geometry of sounds, if properly uttered, will, this mantra is particularly designed to
generate what is called as samat prana. There are five dimensions of
prana vayu in the system. Samat prana is that which is in charge of
respiratory process and the thought process and it generates heat. Well, the prana vayu is fundamentally in charge
of respiration and thought process, but without the fire of samat prana,
prana vayu cannot function. So, this is why any kind of kriya or
pranayama that you do, first thing is to generate some heat, because without generating the ushna,
the other dimensions cannot really fly. So one thing is to generate heat because this
will also greatly enhance one's immune system. Let us not think that now I'm doing my kriya
so I can go out irresponsibly. No, I never said your kriya or your mantra
is a solution for Corona, it is not. It strengthens your system. Well, building up immunity is not going to
happen overnight, this we must know, I would say, in four to eight weeks one can see significant
betterment of one's immune system. So, this package of the mantra and the Isha
Kriya which will bring balance to your system, let us make use of it for our well-being. In the yogic sciences, there are various things
one can do to enhance one's immune system. In terms of practices, we have put out a very
simple powerful process called, “Simha Kriya”. This is a kind of process, one thing is it
will boost the immune system another thing is it is it involves
your breath in a certain way. Suppose you start doing it today after a week's
time, if you find some difficulty in doing it, you clearly know you have some respiratory
stuff, even before other symptoms show up. Even before other symptoms
with which you normally, medically recognize even before that you
will see you will not be able to do the practice. The moment there is
some kind of respiratory cause. This viral being you know, being
a very respiratory related thing. It will be very useful if you're doing the
practice every day twice a day, it will boost the immune system.
But at the same time, it's like a gauge. If you suddenly can't do it one day, you know there is something wrong with
your function of your respiratory system. Most people develop relationship
with the soil only after they die. But it's very important to develop relationship
with the soil when you're alive. I would say especially now, with
this virus around, believe me, those of you who are in some
way in contact with the soil. Here we call this, “prithvi prema seva” that means getting involved
with the soil in a very loving manner. Well, your ability to live, your ability to resist these kind of
invasions upon your life will be greatly, greatly enhanced. It's not just enough, if you live,
it's important that you live strong. Living strong does not mean you grow
big muscles and dominate somebody. Living strong means here life happens big. For this, you need a body which treats the
entire planet as its extension, which it is. So it's very important that you bring this,
all of you who are here at the Isha Yoga Center, we will set up some processes for you so that
every one of you at least once in three days, your hands and feet are in
the soil, very important. And wherever, wherever else you are, if you
have a small patch of a garden, or you can volunteer that you will
work in somebody else's garden. Believe me, yes, they will get free labor
but don't think they are getting more. You're getting much more because you being
connected with the soil will make a phenomenal difference For your, for the way your
physical body functions. Put your hands into the
soil, very important. Otherwise, those of you who are too well to
do but don't want to be seen doing any work because it may create a wrong image for your
affluence, you can have a mud bath. Yes, that is also one way. This will do wonders for you. So if you maintain these protocols very easily
you can enhance your immune system because ultimately that's
the only way you have.
