Corona did not have fatal effects due to yoga: CM Shri
Chouhan
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan has said that I
too was affected by Corona. Since I have been practicing yoga for many years
now, Corona did not have any fatal effect on me. All members of our family
practice meditation and pranayam daily. It is my personal experience that yoga
is an effective means to maintain self-confidence, positivity and energy.
Ayurvedic traditions to and Yoga practice can prove very helpful in avoiding
complications like black fungus, white fungus arising out of Corona.

A CM maintaining relationship of mama with
people is a unique example: Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Gurudev Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar said that the relationships that Chief Minister Shri Chouhan
shares with the people of the state while in power is a unique example of his
love and sensitivity towards the people. It is possible to conduct activities
like yoga education in a more effective way with the support of the state. The
initiative taken by Madhya Pradesh in this direction is commendable and for the
welfare of the people of the state. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that it is
necessary to maintain self-confidence and morale in this Corona catastrophe. A
strong mind can take a weak body forward, for this there is no effective way
other than yoga and pranayama. There are disease resistant elements in our food
style and food process, so traditional food, ethics, yoga system is the
authentic way to remain healthy. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar stated the need to adopt
traditional knowledge-science with a scientific approach while remaining free
from prejudice and superstition.
Launching Yoga-based programme to protect against Corona is
the world’s only initiative: Swami Ramdev
Yoga guru Shri Ramdev said that Corona is a
global disaster. Excessive use of allopathic medicines has reduced immunity.
This is resulting in complex diseases like black fungus and white fungus.
Describing the initiative of Madhya Pradesh government to start a yoga-based
program to prevent Corona, as the world’s one and only effort, Yoga Guru Shri
Ramdev said that as a result of the circumstances arising due to Corona,
people’s faith in Yoga and Ayurveda has increased. The medicine for Corona is
how strong you are and how much immunity you have. Yoga is very helpful in both
ways. If there are solutions to diseases in the knowledge of our ancestors,
then they should be used. Without discriminations of religion etc, we have to
take advantage of this accumulated knowledge and methods. The Yoga Guru said
that yoga helps a person to overcome grief, destitution, sickness, frustration,
despair and to remain positive.
Principal Secretary School Education Smt.
Rashmi Arun Shami said that the goal of ‘Yoga se Nirog’ programme is that the
patients who are currently in home isolation should recover at home itself and
they need not go to the hospital. The programme also includes protecting
patients from stress and depression, maintaining their morale and providing
guidance on nutritious diet along with yoga. In the ‘Yoga se Nirog’ programme,
patients are made to practice yoga, meditation, asan, pranayama twice a day by
video call or phone call. Presently more than three thousand instructors are
