First Margii cured from coronavirus


Baba

First Margii cured from coronavirus

Re: How to fight coronavirus

Namaskar,

My name is Brother Rasaviharii from the USA, but I am now living in China. In fact I am living near the city where the coronavirus began, Wuhan China. I was one of the first people to catch this virus, and I was also the first person to be cured from it. The reason is because I also studied medicine in America before coming to China.

Personal background & disease


Back in 1999 I graduated from Portland State University as a medical student. When I was a medical student, I wrote a paper about the negative effects of onion and garlic. Eating onions and garlic will weaken the immune system, and with a weak immune system the body will not be able to deal with virus. I became Margii in 1997 and haven't eaten onion and garlic since then. This was the reason why my body was able to cure itself of the virus so quickly. In fact, I was cured from the virus within 24 hours after catching it.


How onion & garlic are harmful

When we don't eat onion garlic then our immune system will be very strong, and it will be able to deal with this virus very easily. The way our immune system works is that once we are exposed to a virus, our immune system starts creating antibodies which can go and fight this virus. Onion and garlic is like a poison which prevents our immune system from functioning properly. I wrote a medical paper about this subject, and it is backed up by many scientific references. When I was studying medicine I spent several years searching through scientific journals to find articles about the negative effects of onion and garlic.

The coronavirus outbreak in China


Since coming to China, I have also been studying a lot about Chinese Medicine. I have many friends here in China who are doctors, and we were following the Coronavirus situation very carefully. The virus first appeared in Wuhan city...and a National Emergency was declared. At the beginning, the doctors were trying several different methods of treating it….the Government recognized an official method of treatment. It means that enough doctors had cured enough people using this one particular method, that it could be used in all the hospitals for all the patients. This method included a mixture of both Western medicine and traditional Chinese Medicine. The name of the Western Medicine was called Remdesivir, an antiviral drug, which was being used in combination with some other Chinese herbs and spices.

Thousands of volunteer doctors came to Wuhan to help assist with the sick patients, and in that area the emergency was over; more than 74,000 people had already been cured. The volunteer doctors returned back home. The Chinese government was so happy about the fact that the cure involved Traditional Chinese herbs and medicines, that they passed a new regulation, in which all school children should be taught a basic understanding of Chinese Medicine in their normal class curriculum. Now China is sending their doctors to other countries to help cure the sick people there.

Sentient diet defeats covid-19


For a normal person who eats onions and garlic, it will take one or two weeks for this cure to work. For Margiis, since we don't eat onions and garlic, our body can be cured much faster. Ever since the virus began, the Margiis of China stayed inside their homes and never went out to the market. Chinese delivery companies can deliver food to their door. No Margiis here in China ever caught the Coronavirus, even in Wuhan city itself. I was the only one who caught it, because I continued to go out to the market every day. I first caught this virus around the third week of February. But I didn't need any medicine at all to cure myself from it. My immune system was able to create the antibodies and fight off the disease within 24 hours. Once a person becomes immune to the virus, then the same virus can not affect you again.

A few facts about coronavirus

Coronavirus is an animal disease and it can only pass to humans once humans eat those sick animals. Coronavirus can be found in all kinds of birds and land animals. There is a common myth circulating that Coronavirus comes from people in China eating bats. This is totally untrue. Bats are a sacred animal in China. People here would not eat them. You can find pictures of bats on Temple walls here, and have been considered as a sacred animal for thousands of years due to their ability to eat mosquitoes and other bugs. Rather the Coronavirus comes from eating other animals. Coronavirus can be found in cows, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, and ducks, and all of the other common animals that meat eaters eat. One can only hope that humanity will use this as a wake up call to eat less animals. In fact, the Chinese Government even recognized this. They have outlawed the hunting of wild animals, and are encouraging people to eat less of the animals which come from farms as well.

Coronavirus is not a new disease. Ever since the 1970's cleaning product manufacturers advertised on their products the ability to fight Coronavirus. This is because many people keep pets in their house such as cats and dogs, and cats and dogs can also catch Coronavirus. Several cleaning products have advertised that their products can kill Coronavirus for those people who keep pets in their house. This is also not the first time that a Coronavirus epidemic has struck humanity. Other examples of Coronavirus epidemics were the MERS-CoV, and the SARS-CoV, and the SARS-CoV2. The latest Coronavirus to hit humanity is called COVID-19.

How to fight coronavirus


Baba

How to fight coronavirus

Namaskar,

The coronavirus / covid-19 is taking hold of the news cycle and seemingly wholly changing life as we know it in so many countries around the globe. The question is how as sadhakas should we manage this situation? How should we view this dramatic event?

Herein we discuss five key points related with this pandemic: (#1) nothing in this world is permanent, (#2) how a sadhaka should spend their day, (#3) what a sadhaka should avoid, (#4) how we can best serve others, (#5) how to generate more positive microvita.
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Point #1: This day will not last forever

In countless teachings, Sadguru Baba guides us that life is transitory, i.e. constantly in a state of flux. Today there is, and tomorrow there isn’t. And this idea is beautifully portrayed in the below story.

Baba says, “Once, Emperor Akbar asked Birbal, his courtier, to say something which would make a happy man sorrowful, and a sorrowful man happy. Birbal replied, “This day shall not remain.” Whatever comes in this world, goes away.” (1)

In His above teaching, Baba is guiding us that no single situation in this ephemeral world is permanent. What is happening today will not be transpiring next week or next month. So we should never accept any day’s events as “the new normal.” Everything in our social life is always undergoing change. The horrors of one day morph into the glories of the next, and vice-versa. And this cycle of good and bad, good and bad, good and bad goes on and on. So we should not think that the dark clouds that rolled in today, i.e. the coronavirus, will engulf us forever; rather, those stormy clouds are bound to be blown away, and blue skies are on our horizon.

As dharmikas, we should not get too low on our bad days, nor too high on our good days. We should not fall prey to the vicissitudes of life. All we should think is that, “Whatever may be the climate today, it will be something different tomorrow, so, no matter the conditions, I should keep an even keel and do something to please my ever-present Guru, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji.”


Point #2: How to utilize our time

Ours is the path of bliss, and to achieve that bliss, Sadguru Baba has given a dynamic array of practices and guidelines to implement in our daily routine. So if one is living in a land that is currently under lockdown due to the coronavirus, then take this as an ideal opportunity to inculcate Baba’s teachings into each and every minute of the day. Practices like kiirtana, sadhana (all lessons, 4x per day), svadhyaya, Prabhat Samgiita, asanas, kaoshikii, tandava etc should wholly consume the day. Embrace the lockdown as the opportune moment to fill the day with dharmic practices. In our practice of svadhyaya, every aspirant should take the vow to read and review all of the Ananda Marga books. And if you do not have any AM books at all, we can send some to you.

Sitting around and worrying about the way life used to be holds no value. That is not sadhaka life; rather, that is the outlook of a materialist. As spiritual aspirants, we embrace change and use that as an occasion to make life sweeter.
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Point #3: What to avoid

Baba guides us that the eyes are in the front, as we are forward looking beings. So one should not get caught lamenting about how the good days of old are long gone etc. This type of thinking or outlook has no place in the life of a sadhaka. Moreover, an aspirant should not get besieged by the day’s headlines either. Spending the whole day involved in reading the news, and hearing dismal, gloomy reports about events beyond one’s control is a waste of time - as well as harmful to one’s psyche. One should know enough about the day’s events to remain safe and then swiftly attend to one’s dharmic duties and practices. We should not just be a consumer of the news; that is a passive and useless way to pass the time. Top of all, there is no need to be fearful about the future, rather one should just do their duty and depend upon Parama Purusa.


Point #4: Help needy narayana in these ways

With all the shutdowns, lockdowns, and stay-at-home orders in an attempt to curb the spread of the coronavirus, there are stark economic ramifications. Business will go bankrupt; unemployment will rise dramatically; the price of food and essential items may spike; and, people may even lose their homes etc. So we should be ready to help and serve according to our capacity.

(A) We should prepare for and engage in food distribution, both of cooked meals and staple ingredients, to help ease the burden of those suffering economic hardship. Through AMURT, we should try to fulfill their existential needs (food, shelter etc) to whatever extent we can. Gearing up for narayan seva (food distribution) is absolutely necessary. And for those who live in a region where there are not other margiis, they can join up with other local social service organisations and serve accordingly. Verily, we are to serve, serve, serve - always seeing the one in need as the manifestation of Brahma.

(B) We should also console those who are worried and distressed. With our empathy and counseling skills we can reassure them and assuage their fears. As Ananda Margiis, we can also guide them in basic yogic spiritual practices (deep breathings, kiirtana, yoga nidra, Baba nama mantra sadhana etc) to help them mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Point #5: How to kill coronavirus

Our greatest weapon in fighting any virus (i.e. negative microvita) is spiritual sadhana, and in particular, dhyana. Doing dhyana means generating maximum positive microvita. And that positive microvite obliterates negative microvita. So as sadhakas, we should engage in a maximum amount of dhyana, by His grace. That is perhaps our best coping mechanism for this coronavirus pandemic.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “To fight out the effect of negative microvitum…one is to encourage right thinking, good thinking and meditation. A person doing spiritual sádhaná or meditation cannot be attacked by negative microvitum. A person in the stage of meditation cannot be attacked by negative microvitum.” (2)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “If a person contracts a disease caused by negative microvita after initiation, does dhyána perfectly and follows certain food restrictions, the disease will be completely cured. Dhyána attracts many positive microvita. Negative microvita can only be controlled by positive microvita. The positive microvita eat the negative microvita and this is the reason why the disease is cured.” (3)


Conclusion

Here we should remember:

(a) This coronavirus will not be with us for long.
(b) Nothing in this relative world can stand the passage of time. In the due course, it will be gone, and life will become far better, and people will wholly forget about these days of this pandemic.

(c) As sadhakas, we should not harbour the notion that this covid-19 will be with us forever.
(d) With the big hit to the economy, we should serve those in need and engage in food distribution etc.

(e) We should fully engage in His dharmic practices and always remember that only Parama Purusa is omnipresent and eternal.
(f) We should do as much dhyana as possible and generate a maximum amount of positive microvita to kill negative microvita.

(g) Only He remains with us forever.

~ In-depth study ~

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Regarding these microvita of crude order which may come within the scope of a microscope, people give them the name “virus”. They say, “This disease is of virus origin.” But virus is a vague term. The better term will be microvitum, and not virus.” (4)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Neither atoms nor molecules are the minutest particles of elements because they are composed of many other particles of the expressed world. People are under the impression that something called a “virus” is the minutest living being. But virus is a vague term; there is in fact nothing like a virus – thus the question of it being a living being does not arise. Microvitum is the minutest entity. The collection of microvita forms a carbon atom. As a microvitum is the minutest entity, it cannot have a structure like that of an atom or a solar system.” (5)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Previously, in another context, I said that various kinds of negative microvita which have, up to now, been called a “virus”, damage human beings. Different diseases take the help of different kinds of tanmátras. From country to country, from planet to planet, and from the far distant frontiers of the universe, these negative microvita carry the seeds of destructive diseases. These varieties of negative microvita also spread mean-mindedness and negative psychic complexes.” (6)


No misuse or time to lament

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Each and every object of creation comes from the world of invisibility and goes back to the world of invisibility. Between the two worlds of invisibility lies the world of visibility. Nothing can be the permanent property of anyone. Everything of this changing world is bound to disappear, hence one should not lament over anything.” (7)

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Remember, you are never alone and should never have any fear or apprehension. You should not sit down and lament, “Oh, what will happen to me now?” Such thinking is totally absurd. Parama PuruÅ›a will certainly see the problem and take the necessary steps in all circumstances. Just as a small child never has to think about itself – its parents think about its well-being – similarly, you should not concern yourself about your own needs. Let Parama PuruÅ›a worry about that while you carry on your duty fearlessly and cheerfully. You will see that Parama PuruÅ›a will certainly do everything necessary to protect the interests of His affectionate and beloved children.” (8)


Baba always saves

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “You are never alone. And because He is with you, you are the strongest person in the universe. He is with you. You are never alone. It is the greatest advantage.” (9)

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Your mental strength will be increased a thousandfold because you are always with the Supreme Entity. The Supreme Entity is always with you to help you, and this is the first and the greatest merit of this fact, of this Supreme Veracity... He is with you, you are never alone, you are never weak. You are never helpless. So, the duty of a perfect person, the duty of a spiritual aspirant is always to remember this Supreme Truth, that he or she is never alone. You are always with your Supreme Father, who will always help you, and will always accelerate the speed of your progress.” (10)
