Acharya Balkrishna
In 1999, WHO started the work of World Herbal Encyclopedia. Its objective was to document all the botanical based medicine systems and healing practices in the world at one place and bring them to the global level. He stopped that work in 2010 saying that this work was not possible. We are also proud of the fact that the work which WHO had stopped in 2010 as impossible, was completed by Patanjali in 2023 by aggregating it into 109 volumes. |
We are the followers of Rishi Path
The path of sages are often addressed with addresses like Rishi, Maharishi and incarnation of Maharishi Dhanvantari etc. On this we would say that we have never tried to become a Rishi-Maharishi in our life, we can never be equal to them. Can. We always try to become his followers in the true sense. It is the endeavor of Patanjali, Revered Swamiji and us that we can serve the society and the nation by following the footsteps of those sages and becoming their followers. Whatever we have done till date, we have done it as followers and we will work with full energy to become true followers in the future also.
964 types of healing practices all over the world, 4 popular in India
Ayurveda is a traditional based medicine system which we call Botany Based Medicine System. We often feel that the country and wherever we go in the world and see herbs, we think that this is Ayurveda. But Ayurveda is a method in herb based medical system. We have done extensive research at the global level in which we found that if we talk about healing practices in the whole world, there are 964 types of healing practices. And there are 9 medical systems in the whole world which work on Botany Based Medicine System. Out of these 9 systems, 4 medical systems are prevalent in India which we know as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Swarampa. Ayurveda is the oldest among these. We are working to take the antiquity of Ayurveda to the global level. People know about herbs and herbal medicine but they do not know that the basis of herbal medicine is Ayurveda. Right now the whole world has not been able to know Ayurveda, the work of spreading it is being done through Patanjali. This journey has reached a certain level, but there is still work left on which we are working wholeheartedly. For that we have 500 world class scientists and more than 5000 Vaidyas working under the leadership of revered Swamiji. Ayurvedic education in this form, we are working from university to college. We are making every effort to ensure that Ayurveda becomes global.
A vision, a dedicated team and unwavering effort are necessary for a big task
A person can never do a big work alone. It is a team work, our entire team is dedicated, sensitive and visionary. We lead that team, we are a part of that team. We have a vision of Revered Swamiji. Only when a person has a vision and a dedicated team to fulfill it can that vision be brought to fruition. Patanjali is the best example of the same. Swami ji always tells us to make unwavering efforts, he does not just say, he also does. If we have to do business, service or any big work, then if we continue to make unbroken efforts with one thought, then we can accomplish even bigger tasks.
Yoga and Ayurveda complement each other
It is a coincidence that God chose us and Revered Swami Ji as instruments for a special work. Swami ji also knows about Ayurveda and we also know Yoga very well but as per our interest we selected one area each and worked in that direction. God's arrangement was such that we created Ayurveda from Yoga, and Yoga from Ayurveda. If there was Yoga alone, Ayurveda would not have reached this level and if there was Ayurveda alone, Yoga would not have reached this level. People know Yoga and Ayurveda today because of each other.
Big challenges possible in big tasks
We are students of Gurukuliya tradition and even today I consider myself a student. Our nature is that of a curious person. We believe that we should not think of becoming big but should awaken the thought of becoming big within ourselves because when we think of becoming big, we may choose wrong paths. If you think of becoming great, the world will automatically make you great. We move forward on this principle. We made efforts and people accepted us. If people agree then we are an example, if they don't agree then we are not an example.
It is a common thing that if we do small work then the challenges before us are also small, if we do big work then the challenges are big. Only at the level at which you will work you will have friends and enemies. People will meet and also get separated, but if our path is right, our thought is right, our pace is right then you will reach the goal.
Patanjali is doing in-vivo and in-vitro trials on Ayurvedic herbs, working on models ranging from C-elegant to zebra fish, this work is also being done by Patanjali for the first time in the world. |
