Just gone through a publication on 22^nd May 2021 of an interview of the 70 years kannada rationalist to a local news agency regarding the harmfulness of government’s push of AYUSH system in managing the covid pandemic in terms of prevention and treatment. He also vomited his criticisms on each wing of AYUSH system in a prejudiced manner, which is not a matter of surprise for the community.

You may have gone through many such people who spent few hours for a cricket match followed by the entire day criticising the great stalwarts of cricket. Even they don’t hesitate to criticise stars like Sachin & Brian Lara and points their mistakes very easily. They have even no words, if you ask them the weight of the cricket ball or length of the cricket bat. So how can one criticise a bunch of science who knows nothing about the science?

If you declare in open that you are going to buy a chatter airplane or a helicopter, many among them may believe it or many will not. If you tell the same to a billionaire like Ratan Tata or Mukesh Ambani or Amitabh Bachan, it is not a surprise for them as it’s a normal thing for them and if you tell the same to a beggar, definitely he would think that you are talking about a toy airplane or helicopter. It’s an obvious and not a surprise as mind set plays the major role to believe something.

I’m not completely disagree with the mindset of the great rationalist as I learnt many things from his one interview. The style of defending something and the style of business promotion etc.

He termed the five different science and one ministry as sweet pills, junk powder, lemon therapy, bad-science, non-science without any hesitation. These type of terminologies are quite natural for the sales or marketing agents of different industries which are at risk.

Regarding the term “Sweet Pills”, if a drug is sweet in taste along with its effectiveness, I think it’s an addition to its character. If still anyone has problem with it, let them be in problem. Who cares it!

We find god anywhere and everywhere, if we believe in god. It might be a non-lining substance. But at the same time, It’s just a piece of stone for non-believers and the self-declared gods who either don’t believe in god or bias people by promoting self.

You might remember a quote of the famous Bollywood movie “Guru”, “When people starts criticising you, be sure you are on the path of improvement”. Here you can assume, which industry is affected most by the evolvement of AYUSH system in preventing covid-19 and boosting the immunity of mass community by the use of AYUSH drugs.

Among the AYUSH therapies available in the market, many are home-made articles and herbal products. Yoga and breathing exercise are such a therapy which even don’t need an article to be purchased from anywhere, means all of these can be availed at free, at home and at your ease. Just imagine, if anyone practices yoga or breathing exercise and gets some benefit, who and which industry is going to lose the revenue and market share? No need to explain.

COVID-19 is a huge concern now a days and the only cause to be panic is- there is no definite treatment protocol has surged till now. Still hospitals are making millions of revenue and the graphs of the pharmaceutical companies are on a pick. At the same time 100s of companies are claiming to be helpful in boosting immunity by using different health drinks, multi vitamin and multi mineral supplements from various pharmaceutical companies and even some companies are claiming to boost immunity by use of junk materials like sunflower oil, rice bran oil in their advertisement.

Mr Narendra Nayak is working as a rationalist since long and even founded a rationalist association since last 35 years. How he can be unaware about these misleading advertisements? If he is well aware about this and being a rationalist, how he failed to rationalise the product multi-national pharmaceutical companies with Baba Ramdev’s Coronil?

Here I’m not in favour of Coronil, but as a rationalist, how Mr Nayak can say it is harmful with the push of AYUSH system only, why not with the multi-national pharmaceutical companies?

If we analyse it from another angle, it is clear that these multi-national companies are looking very aggressive in capturing the market share of the large populated country with the help of TV commercials, social media advertisement and few columnists and bloggers. Here in this situation the interview of Mr Nayak creates an illusion of being serious about the covid-19 surge while in back ground, it seems like a helping hand of the companies for whom the AYUSH system is becoming the threat gradually.

So my sincere request to my dear friends not to be panic over the situation and think coolly and wisely, stay positive and stay healthy.
