Recently, the world is fighting and struggling to
end the pandemic caused by the Corona virus that is then named officially as
Covid-19 which stands for Corona Virus Disease 2019. This virus sub-type of
Corona virus primarily “attacks” respiratory system which symptomizes, although
not always showing, for example flu, cough, sneeze, high body temperature, and breathe
difficulty, and results to death. Experts have been working so hard to create
the vaccine to stop the virus and its outbreak that covers most of the world population
and suspends almost all life aspects and the most importantly: the world economic
chain.
But now, according to the Hindu holy
book, Veda (Balinese Hindu: Weda) – as one of world life fundamental
philosophies; does it give any description about Covid-19? And does it provide
any prevention or antidote to kill the virus?

In the book of Veda, in the part of Padma
Purana – Sristikanda, it is stated that there are 8,400,000 lives placed in the
highest until the lowest planet of the universe. And surely virus is one of
those life kinds. The book of Veda classifies viruses as krimaya or krimi that includes
not only viruses, but also worms, germs, microbes, and bacteria, since their
habitat is the same; moist dark dirty environment. Moreover, the book as well
mentions about krimi that can be seen
without any man-made tools named as risya
and the ones that cannot be seen without the tools (for instance
microscope) because of their micro size called as adrisya. This knowledge of krimi
is also stated in Ayur Veda and Attarwa Veda, 2 of 4 main parts of Veda.
God Varuna (Balinese Hindu: Baruna)
is the God who rules and takes responsibilities of the ocean and the west part
of the universe. He is the one who can create, spread, neutralize and heal pandemic.
He is ruling from the underwater city, named as Wibawari. In the Greek belief,
he is known as Poseidon. As God Varuna in Hindus belief is ruling the ocean
with all His characteristics; people notice that the ocean as usadha and nidhi meaning the source of healing and treasures. In the tradition
of Balinese Hindus, Javanese Hindus, and Indian people, they are asking for
blessings and cleansing from God Varuna by offering offerings to the ocean. And
until today, they are taking a holy bath in the sea to cleanse and neutralize
and purify negative aura.

In Hindu philosophy, there is a life
concept named as Tri Hita Karana. Tri means three (3), Hita / Gita means happiness, and Karana
means cause. So, Tri Hita Karana can
be depicted as three ways to find happiness. Those three are the harmony with
the God, the harmony with beings, and the harmony with the nature /
environment. Nowadays, many of us are behaving ignorantly and egoistically that
causes destruction of our nature. Although they realize that they are
destroying their only home; where their children will live and have life. However,
something demonic covers and blinds their eyes tightly. This results to the
destruction and brings the nature quality degradation. One clear example is the
ocean. Human beings with their greed exploit the ocean too much. Not only the
exploitation, people also pollute the sea and harm the sea life a lot – where
this writing does not have to bring this topic here because it believes readers
have known about it.

God Varuna spreads pandemic to remind human beings
to maintain and preserve the nature and environment well. With all His control,
He spreads diseases using krimi (viruses,
worms, germs, microbes, and bacteria). According to the holly book Veda, a
disease caused by krimi is called as krimi roga and the healing method used
against krimi roga is called krimi roga cikitsa or krimi cikitsa.
Krimi
roga cikitsa (the healing method against the diseases caused by krimi) can be done by utilizing the
healing energy from sawitra (morning sunlight),
agni (fire), and salt.
The recent research shows that it is important
for the people in this situation to have enough morning sunlight to activate
their body immunity. Doctors and medical worker suggest people to sunbath in
the morning for no more than 15 minutes before 9 a.m. This arguably can help to
boost immunity and kill germs and viruses in someone’s body.

Agni
or fire that can be used as the cure against virus diseases is in two
forms. One is the usual fire we use for cooking (this writing notice one
healing method using this fire). And another one is in the form of liquid and
gas. This second form usually is recognized as hydrocarbon, i.e. methane and ethane,
where the derivative form becomes alcohol and antiseptic.

I hope everyone is having a good
time during this pandemic situation. Just a kind reminder for everyone to
consume healthy food, drink enough water, do enough sports, have enough
sleeping time. Stay healthy, happy, and immunized!
This shall too pass.
