Cancer: This dangerous disease is spreading all over the world at a very
fast pace. India is also a part of this and the pace at which cancer is increasing
in our country is a matter of great concern. The number of people dying due
to cancer in India is more than four lacs. This figure is increasing at the rate of
11 percent every year. The men are prone to oral cancer and women to

GOD’S METHODS OF PROTECTING US
&½- 6@45@3
sage: Barhaspatya Shanyu|| Lord: Indra || Prose: Gayatri
Word meaning: Asya – this god’s; Pranitaya – taking forward, path of uplifting his people; mahi – are
big; uta prashastaya purvi – and his praises are ancient; asya uttaya na kshiyante – his protection never
end.
Appeal – How can I narrate the unique ways with which god uplifts his men. When man cries and
fights, at that time his mind is full of confusion and he does not get success in any work. Later he comes
to know that during that period he has determined a big path for his progress. The man fails to understand
the positive incidences that take place in his life (god’s actions) and as to how can these incidences give
him success and help in his progress in the long run? God has unique ways of uplifting his people. This path
is very huge and unmatchable that a man can never see it without farsightedness, therefore he is always
afraid of going towards welfare. Every individual is progressing and prospering depending on his nature
and capabilities in his own manner. When man is not able to understand his own path of progress then how
can he claim that he can do so for other people? This is indeed a difficult task and requires lot of courage.
The person who gets the fruit of success with the blessing of god in a particular form starts singing in his
(God’s ) praise in that form (worshipping). In this way man has been singing in his praise since ancient
times and will continue to do so. How can he stop singing in praise of the god? A devotee is not able to see
the end of god’s methods and types of protecting his men. God’s power of protection never ends. A stream
of protection has been flowing continuously in an unending manner, which is protecting every person,
animal, bird, insects, germs, movable and immovable world, in an unimaginable way. Man assumes that he
would be protected in a particular manner depending on his past experiences and prays god for the same.
He expects the same thing but god protects him in a completely different manner and the man is taken
aback with surprise. New and unimaginable ways of god’s protection continues in this manner and then
the man realizes that god is indeed protecting the whole creation in different ways. Whether we believe it
or not, but he is protecting us even while killing us. God’s ways of protecting are very great, they are
unending, those who realize this sing in his praise.

Man has to live in close proximity with the nature in order to

lead a healthy life. There are a number of plants around us and
we are also aware of those plants but we do not use it in our daily
diet. Living in close proximity to the nature means eating pure

vegetables, which are used as medicines and food.

In Greek literature there is a famous story. It is said that a bird named ‘Phoenix’ is born from pyre.
This bird usually lives alone. It does not like to stay in groups. The bird flies at a great height. The bird
can achieve death as per its wish and that is why it is called as ‘immortal’. When it gets bored staying in
one situation it burns its body and comes out from its own pyre with more brightness. This story might be
imaginary but we should try to become like the ‘Phoenix’ bird.

These vitamins are of five types.
Vitamin A:
Vitamin A improves immune system of our body, which protects
our body from many poisonous substances. Deficiency of this vita-
min causes many diseases. Lack of Vitamin A leads to blindness,
usually night blindness. If we look at the serious affects then we
can find that lack of this vitamin leads to serious condition of chronic
disorder of bowel movement. Lack of vitamin A causes cold,
Isnophelia. It may sometimes lead to deadly disease like lungs in-

vegetables, clarified butter, butter in order to prevent these diseases.
Vitamin B:
Vitamin B is essential for healthy, happy and disease free life.
This increases blood in the body and keeps a check on the hemoglo-
bin level, and body requries this vitamin for maintaining good blood
level in the body.
Lack of vitamin B leads to nerve disorder, because nerves carry
the blood. Lack of blood in nerves leads to Beriberi. In case of
Beriberi the nerves become crooked due to vata. The body turns
yellow, leading to weakness, lack of hemoglobin, paralysis in lower
part of the body are also possible.
We should consume green leafy vegetables, curry, raw veg-
etables (Salad), pomegranate, beetroot, milk and fruits to pre-
vent the diseases caused due to the deficiency of vitamin B.
Pranayam and few yogasanas are also beneficial.

of knowledge and wealth. rajas and Tamas nature. The people possessing good qualities are called
god. Those possessing excessive greed and longing for wealth are hu-
man beings and those who harm others and are cruel in nature are
called demons. The human nature can change from god to demon and
vice versa depending on his knowledge and devotion. The human be-
ing has continuous ability to bring in moral changes. A man can change
his spiritual consciousness and bring in drastic changes in his thoughts
and feelings. A human being with unchaste body, mind, and soul can
transform into a chaste mind, godly mentality and divine human being.
If a worldly person is inclined towards leaving his worldliness and get
rid of the feeling of satisfying his sensory organs then we expect to see
spiritual transformation in such a person. We will get several examples
in our history where people having ordinary and low occupations have
become great people due to spiritual transformation. For instance,
Valmiki was a cruel dacoit but transformed into a saint due to the preach-
ing of Narada. He wrote the great epic ‘Ramayana’ and was known
as a theologist. Saint Francis preached service, chastity and became
the founder of big religious organizations due to his good qualities. Simi-
larly, Guru Nanak, Saint Kabir, Ravidas and Meerabai had immense
faith on God and became famous saints. Angulimal, a famous dacoit
could leave behind his past and transform his life with the good advice
of lord Buddha. There are a number of such devotees and learned
people who transformed their lives due to spiritual knowledge. Swami
Vivekanand became a wealthy and great theologist due to devotion
towards god and spiritual knowledge.
Challenges and solutions

The task of spiritual transformation is not so easy. Wearing saffron
clothes, tying your hair, wearing tilak on forehead and garlands in the
neck alone are not enough to gain this. Spiritual knowledge is like a hot
flame, which burns all the bad qualities present in the mind, body and
heart and turns them into ashes and enlightens the internal soul. A small
cloud covers the sun and reduces its brightness; similarly the bad quali

The world came to know about IVF (In-vitro fertilization) 30 years back with the birth of Lucy
Brown in Great Britain. This technique was considered to be a milestone in the medical field and till now
around 30 lacs childless couples have been blessed with children with the help of this technique. This
technique has progressed to such an extent that the enthusiastic medical practitioners are claiming that
infertility would become a history.
Notions are left behind: The first test tube of world, Lucy baby celebrated her 30th birthday on July 25,
2008 in a very quite manner. But, the doctors are highly enthusiastic on the 30th anniversary of IVF
technique. After all they have a reason to be so. During this period the preliminary doubts and moral
related talks have been left behind.
Infertility will become a past: At the time of Lucy’s birth, opening the blockage of fallopian tubes
through surgery and hormone treatment to increase ovarian function was prevalent. But, there was no
treatment for infertile men. The development and success of IVF technique showed some ray of hope. A
special report published in the Nature journal read that the scientists had expressed unimaginable aspects
related to the treatment of infertility.
The scientists believe that in the next three decades lot of progress would be made in the field of
infertility, which would give the happiness of parenthood to people of any age, right from children to 100
year olds. Not only that, in place of normal pregnancy, the people would be able to select foetus being
developed inside the womb from the second birth to eighth month of pregnancy. That is not all; they have
all the possibilities of cloning of children. This simply means that the word ‘infertility’ would be abolished
from the dictionary.
