that he will get rid of the disease. Actually the body is directly
connected to our body therefore a disease is born when there
is an imbalance in the nature around us. In such a condition,
a medicine has to be found out from the nature itself. On the
contrary, if we use unnatural chemicals as medicine, then it may
not show its adverse impact immediately but in long future, its
wrong impact is bound to appear.
For eternal wellness, it is necessary that medicines for physical
and mental diseases should be found from natural sources. To
stop atrocities being committed on our body, the greatest blessing
of almighty, in the name of treatment of diseases, Patanjali has
conducted an intense research on herbs for treatment of diseases
and has also suggested medicines and their quantities for various
diseases. On the basis of the conclusion of these researches
we present this series of articles under headline- health in

Geeta saar
G eeta is the voice of almighty. As long as the common people, the society, the nation continue to function according to the
rules of discipline of almighty, the Geeta flows with peace. When the discipline is infringed, its smooth flow gets blocked.
Then voice of Geeta becomes loud. One who understands this voice, gets a high place in the society. He gets recognition as a
legend, a hero, a revolutionary, a path changer. One who is capable in understanding the voice of nature in the era of darkness.
In the Pandav era, Yogeshwar Krishna was such a person, similarly, Adi Shankar was also like the same. During freedom
struggle, it were Lokmanya Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi who worked the same way to build a new era for the betterment of the
society. When Geeta speaks, the world witnesses the phenomenon like Mahabharat in which enormous symbols of atrocities
and exploitation had got destroyed. In this situation it becomes impossible for even almighty to stop this change. The gesture
of present is the same. Today, Swami Ramdev ji, the greatest saint of present era, has adopted the same message of Geeta for
