Patanjali Yogpeeth is a synonym to Yoga-Ayurveda: Dr Mahesh Sharma
Yoga, Ayurveda, spiritualism and Vedas are identity
of India in the world. These identities were destroyed
by foreign rulers but Swami ji and revived them
through Patanjali Yogpeeth and got recognition for
these great cultural heritage of India. This is the
reason, Patanjali Yogpeeth is seen as a synonym of
yoga and Ayurveda in the world. Patanjali Yog Peeth has to be
developed as such a university so that needs of the whole world
could be fulfilled. With the efforts of Patanjali Yogpeeth, a strong
India will be built through yoga and Ayurveda and Government of
India is committed for it. Swami ji's leadership will earn glory
for Indian values and resolves globally and the responsibility to
ensure reach of yoga and Ayurveda to each and every village will
be taken by the Government of India. On India's proposal for
International Day of Yoga, the endorsement of 183 countries is
a great achievement. It will strengthen the way for International
Day of Yoga in the future. We are proud of the the strength of
Bharat Swabhiman Day.
Glory of Yoga and Ayurved will
make Indian farmers prosperous
Our martyrs sacrificed their lives with a dream
to build a divine India, however, even after
Independence it became difficult to maintain purity
of our air, water and our herbal medicines. Now it
can be possible only through Yoga and Ayurveda.

In the coming five years, a lot of work is due to be done. Only then
India will regain its glorious place of Vishwa Guru or the mentor of
the world. Spread of Ayurveda will first of all make tribals, farmers
and backward sections of the society prosperous because only they
mainly produce herbs for medicinal purposes. Farmers will also
get their better return for their produce and this way the country
will attain prosperity.
If opening hospital is the solution to health related issues the US
would have been the world's healthiest nation. On the contrary, it
is faced with the side effects of English medicines. Now UNO too is
aware of the side effects of English medicines and want to get rid
of it. Other methods of medical treatments are used after a person
falls ill while Indian Ayurveda is used to protect a person from
falling ill. It is a matter of great pride for the whole world.
Now the country's air, water and
medicines will become purer
Patanjali's Amla juice, Aloe Vera juice, and other
such produces have become famous across the
world. These products have also restrained the profitdriven business foreign pharmaceutical companies.
Now Yoga-Ayurveda are not the optional but
mainstream and national way of treatment of diseases. It is really
amazing that whatever has to happen will happen now. Now or
never.
Today's world's most important need is health, prosperity, peace,
harmony and brotherhood which is possible through the ways of
yoga, Ayurveda and the ways shown by our great ancient saints.
Days of waging wars are over, now India will become powerful
not through wars but through yoga and Ayurveda. Under the
supervision of Acharya ji, several projects are under way on world
herbal encyclopaedia, world herbal garden, etc.
