2.  Respiratory disease cause by H1N1 influenza
virus
Started from pigs but has adapted now to affect
and spread amongst humans
Very new to human world, no vaccines and
immune response still building to it
Symptoms of regular human flu: fever, cough,
sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and
fatigue.
* India has threatened to get 33% of its population to be infected with flu
according to a report of WHO.
What is Swine Flu?What is Swine Flu?

3. What are the risks
 H1N1 is a relatively weak virus, you are protected if you
don’t inhale droplets from sneeze of an infected person
 If infected, human immune response is usually sufficient
to shed off the flu. Tamiflu tablets can assist in quicker
recovery
 Swine flu becomes fatal only when the virus manages to
reach deep inside the lungs (this is rare)
 Spreads faster than common influenza, even though less
potent

4. Preventing Swine Flu
Watch your lifestyle
Reduce Exposure to Pathogens
Take Preventive measures
Boost your immune system!!

5. Watch Lifestyle
Drink plenty of water
Get enough sleep
Get adequate dose of vitamins/minerals – eat plenty
of fruits/fresh vegetables
Avoid eating outside food

6. Reduce Exposure
 Wash hands thoroughly (preferably an antibacterial soap
like dettol) many times a day, especially
◦ After coming back home from outside
◦ Coming back to your cube/cabin after a meeting
◦ Before having food
 Wear a N95 mask in public places – markets, bus, train,
gatherings.
 Do not go near someone who looks sick or is coughing, if
you have to be near a sick friend/relative, use adequate
precaution not to inhale the germs from breath/cough
 Clean your home and workplace daily with Phenyl and
other disinfectants

7. Take Preventive Measures and
Enhance Immunity
As supported by experience1
and research2
, Yagya is an
excellent tool to
Help air purification
Preventive health care
Naturally boost the immune system

8. What does Yagya Do
 Yagya sublimates, vaporizes and slowly fumigates
selected herbal offerings and nourishing elements
 Can Release manifold amounts of anti-bacterial and anti-
viral phytochemicals in the surroundings – through use of
herbal medicines in fire of medicinal woods.
 Removes Pollutants, Bacterias, Viruses etc
 Increases Immunity and vigor
 Can be used as inhalation therapy when combined with Pranayama

9. Yagya as disinfectant
“Burning sugar and its smoke has a significant effect in
purifying the atmosphere. It kills the germs of T.B.,
measles, smallpox and cow-pox” – remarks Prof.
Tilward.
A Russian Scientist named Dr. Shirowich mentions –
“If cow’s ghee is put into the fire, its smoke will lessen
the effect of atomic radiation to a great extent”.

10. Yagya as disinfectant
The medicinal firewood (samidha) used in yagya
are cellulose-rich and have less calorific value
Sublimation/Vaporization of sacrificed substances
through arrangement of firewood to control the
air-supply and temperature variation
Yagya fire breaks up molecule-to-molecule bonds
of the sacrificed substances rather than triggering
their independent combustion process

11. Yagya as disinfectant
 Experimental studies have shown that Yagna or agnihotra
creates a pure, hygienic, nutritional and healing
atmosphere.
 Researchers from the field of microbiology have observed
that the medicinal fumes emanating from the process of
agnihotra are bacteriostatic in nature
 They eradicate bacteria and micro-organisms, which are
the root causes of illness and diseases.

12. Yagya as Immunity Boost
 A person with low immunity power is more
susceptible to flu viruses
Regular yagya helps in increasing of one’s immunity.
Ayurvedic Medicines inhaled as vapors (much better
than oral/intravenous delivery)
Positive soothing vedic mantras

14. Examples: Bhopal Gas Tragedy
The tragic incident occurred on the night of
December 3, 1984 when the poisonous MIC gas
leaked from Union Carbide factory at Bhopal.
Hundreds of people died and thousands were
hospitalized, but there were two families – those of
Shri Sohan Lal S. Khushwaha and Shri M. L. Rathore,
living about one mile away from the plant, who came
out unscathed. These families were regularly
performing agnihotra (havan). In these families
nobody died, nobody was even hospitalized despite
being present in the area worst affected by the
leakage of the toxic gas. (English Daily – “The Hindu”
of 4th May 1985; news item under the heading ‘Vedic
Way to Beat Pollution’.)

15. Uttar Pradesh pollution control board conducted experiments during the Ashwamedha
Yagna at Gorakhpur, U.P. Set up at about 20 meters east from the Yagnashala. The
samples of 100 ml each of water and air collected from the surroundings were
analyzed using high volume envirotech APM-45 and other sensitive instruments.
A summary of their results is presented below:

16. “I have been able to bring down the rate of infection at
my Hospital to zero in last 15 years by regularly
conducting Gayatri Yagya, I am quite sure that Yagya
can be a good preventive measure to prevent spread
of Swine Flu.”
– Dr. Anil Jha, Chief Cardiac Surgeon, Maha Gujarat
Hospital, Nadiad
