Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the condition of corona infection is constantly improving in the State. The positivity rate has declined to 5.4 percent. The number of Covid patients is steadily decreasing and the number of recovered people is increasing day by day.
He said that the ‘Yoga se Nirog’ programme will continue in the State, even after minimum number of Corona cases are reported as we have to prepare people for the third wave of corona. Yoga is very effective in increasing immunity and making a person healthy, positive and energetic.
Chouhan was interacting with home isolated participants and yoga instructors from his residence through video conferencing under ‘Yoga se Nirog’ programme. Guru Dev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev also provided online guidance to the participants in the programme.
Minister of State for School Education Inder Singh Parmar, Minister of State for AYUSH Ramkishore Kavre, Minister of Culture and Tourism Usha Thakur, President of Maharishi Patanjali Sanskrit Sansthan Bharat Bairagi, Chairperson of Indian Yoga Association Pushpanjali Sharma, Principal Secretary School Education Rashmi Arun Shami and Principal Secretary AYUSH Carylene Khongwar Deshmukh also took part in the online programme.
Chouhan said that I too was infected 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 mean to maintain self-confidence, positivity and energy.
Ayurvedic traditions and Yoga practice can be proved extremely helpful in avoiding post-covid complications like black fungus and white fungus attack.
Chouhan thanked Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Gurudev and Yoga Guru Ramdev Baba for giving guidance to home isolated Covid patients in the State.
Chouhan also interacted with home-isolated patient s Khairunisa Pariyani and Surendra Jain of Khandwa, Jayashree Thackeray of Balaghat and Yoga instructors of Gwalior, Jaydayal Sharma and Aradhana Dubey.
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 them.
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 in the interest of the people of the state.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that it is necessary to maintain self-confidence and morale during this tough time. A strong mind can take a weak body forward, for this there is no effective way other than yoga and pranayama.
There are anti-disease elements in our foods. The traditional food culture, ethics, yoga are the authentic mean to remaining healthy.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar stated the need to adopt traditional knowledge-science with a scientific approach while remaining free from prejudice and superstition.
