(Express Editorial) Time to adopt pollution buster Sanathan culture

The pollution again this year is giving hard time not only to Delhi NCR but other Indian states as well. As usual, the debates are on over the hot topic and allegation game is also on.

Be it the state government or the Central government, they do not need to make a big hue and cry about it. Let us go for the grand U-turn. That is the ready solution we have.

Turning to the roots has never been more significant. The pollution can now be fought locally but globally too. The Vishva Guru has to tell and teach the world how to encounter pollution.

India must first apply this then endorse it to the other takers too. Now its time, we all global citizens adopted it as a way of life. Sanathan says go for Havan, it purifies air at home and all around in the atmosphere for you and your neighbors too.

A research on Indian Havan by French scientist Trelle tells this all. In his research he came to know that Havan is mainly performed on mango wood. When mango wood burns, a gas called formaldehyde is produced which kills dangerous bacteria and germs around in the air. It also purifies the environment. It was only after this research that scientists came to know about this gas and the method of making it.

This gas is also produced when jaggery is burnt. Another scientist named Totik discovered this through his research on Yagya. He found out that sitting in the Havan room for half an hour or in other rooms where the body comes in contact with the smoke of the Havan, then the bacteria causing dangerous diseases like typhoid also die and the body gets purified.

As per the sources, National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow too conducted a research to find the truth if Havan really purifies the environment and destroys bacteria. By burning the Havan material (mentioned in the Hindu scriptures) they observed that the Havan smoke  does destroy the virus.

Working on different types of smoke they found out that just burning around one kilogram of mango-wood did not reduce the viruses present in the air much. But when half a kilogram of Havan material was burnt,  the level of bacteria present in the room within an hour reduced by around ninety percent.

Further testing of the bacteria present in the air of the Havan room, found that even twenty four hours after the Havan the level of bacteria was 96 percent less than normal. Upon repeated testing also discovered that the effect of this single exposure to smoke lasted for around a month and the level of virus in the air of that room was much lower than normal.

This is not just observed, it has also been documented. The report has also been published in December 2007 in the research journal of Ethnopharmacology (2007). The report also revealed, through Havan, not only humans but also the bacteria causing harm to crops and plants are also destroyed. This way the chemical fertilizers’ use in crops can also be reduced.

Informing people about this can prove to be game changer. Performing Havan not only receives delight of the deities but also purifies the atmosphere in and around the house.
