Fire, Essence The Demon

Description

Āyurveda has addressed pandemics since time immemorial. During such times it is imperative we tend our sacred fire, which we can understand as our digestion (Agni) and keep it burning strongly.

We must safeguard our essence from assault. Which we can see as as the very heart of our immune system, known Āyurvedically as Ojas.

And the virus does not act like any other known life form (today our scientists say it is not alive yet we treat it as such) therefore we can only see it as the demon. That which does not play by the normal rules of nature and is known as Rākśasa.

Āyurveda states that pandemics arise when land, water, air and time are polluted. In such times we must cultivate our own inner fire, our very essence that protects us from assault, and we must know the nature of the demon and what feeds it and what can defeat it.

We will discuss ancient preventative measures that are as valid today as they were thousands of years ago. For in all this time, with all our technological advances, we remain the same flesh, blood, emotions and desires as then.
