1) Most of us never observed our breathing techniques till we got to see how Corona Virus targets human breathing.
Oxygen, ICU, Ventilator, Remdesivir and everything else point to only 1 thing eventually.. the COVID patient is unable to breath properly as the lungs are affected.
2) What can you do to at least be in a better physical and mental position if the virus hits you in the future?
Develop better breathing techniques that make lungs stronger, and also make you more healthier mentally and physically. You might have a better chance to fight back.
3) One prominent Yogic breathing technique is #Pranayama. It is a collection of breathing routines from ancient India. Then there are very well constructed techniques like the Sudarshan Kriya of @ArtofLiving.
You learn to make your lungs more efficient to oxygenate the body well
4) I personally postponed Sudarshan Kriya classes for almost a decade. Who wants to spend parts of 4 days to learn breathing? I run, walk, climb and swim. That's enough, I thought.
But finally I gave up. Now done six Sudarshan Kriyas this week. Powerful breathing techniques! 👍
5) Not only I am WOW at the lightness I feel in my mind and body after 30 minutes of routines, I am also repenting for not learning these very simple techniques 10 or 20 years ago.
My life would have been much more productive! Anyway.. better late than never. #SudarshanKriya
6) I would strongly suggest all my friends, especially those in middle ages, to learn #Pranayama and Sudarshan Kriya from qualified teachers like @SrikanthDatha. He is nicely teaching us along with Meghana Prasad.
There are 40,000+ Sudarshan Kriya teachers trained by @SriSri!!
7) It would be unwise on our part to not use Yogic exercise & breathing techniques that are passed to us by generation after generation of Yogis.
Give it a try. I procrastinated 10 years before trying it. Don't be like me. Sudarshan Kriya will exceed expectation.
Jai Gurudev 🙏

1) India's critical medical infra improvement in the past 1 year under @narendramodi era.
For COVID19 treatment:
India had a total of 62,458 oxygen supported beds on April 21, 2020.
India had a total of 2,55,168 oxygen supported beds on April 9, 2021.
A 309% increase in 1 yr!
2) India had 27,360 ICU beds on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 75,867 ICU beds on Apr 9, 2021.
A 177% increase in 1 year.
India had 13,158 ventilators on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 23,618 ventilators on Jan 28, 2021.
A 80% increase in 1 year.
There are more, but for non COVID patients.
3) I know the above increases are still not enough, seeing of COVID 2nd wave deaths, but at least see how improvements. Note, just increasing the devices is not enough. We also need Doctors, Nurses and lab technicians ramped up at a much higher scale. That's the real challenge!
1) For 13 months continuously, Maharashtra is in news as the worst performing state when it comes to Corona Virus control. Every single month!
Other states got spikes, panic, reliefs, plateaus etc., but if there is one state that was on the top of COVID cases list, it was MH.
2) Here is a recap:
In April Maharashtra became the first state in India to cross the 1000 COVID cases mark.
By May, MH topped 50,000 mark.
By June, MH overtook China, where the Wuhan origin virus originated.
By July, 3 lakh mark reached. Lockdown was mostly in effect still..
3) By August, politics was in full force, terming Maharashtra as the COVID capital of India.
By Sept, MH crossed the infamous 1 million mark. 25% of India's cases.
Even in October, MH was extending lockdown.
By November, cases were slowing, but still MH was India's chart buster.
1) In @VVani4U newspaper, ace columnist Prem Shekhar gives an interesting timeline in a column titled "Farmer Protest or Chinese 5G battle":
Will give key translation.
5-Jun-2020: The centre promulgated three ordinances for the new farm laws. No big protest anywhere.
2)
15-Jun-2020: Small protest in Tamil Nadu by farmer unions - Viju Krishnan.
9-Jul-2020: Mike Pompeo of US Government praises Reliance Jio of India, as "Clean Telco". USA thrashed Huawei for being "tools of the Communist Party of China surveillance state".
1) Basavaraj is an Engineer. Worked hard to get to manager level. Now he earns ₹21 lakh Rupees per year.
His take home salary is ₹15.75 lakh after paying ₹5,25,000 in taxes to the goverment. On top, he pays indirect taxes like GST, cess..
2) Baljit is a farmer. Worked hard on his big 12.6 hectares farm. He earns ₹15.75 lakhs per year.
Pays ZERO direct income tax. Keeps 100% of his income to himself, while enjoying many benefits from the govt in the form of subsidy, MSP..
Of course pays GST & other indirect tax.
3) Tax Daata Basavaraj who pays most of the expenses of army, irrigation, road building, police, hospitals, schools etc. with his (& company's corporate tax), is viewed with disdain,while Anna daata Baljit who pays only a fraction of tax (GST..), is glorified when blocking roads!
1) PM @narendramodi would be remembered by the future generations as the head of a government which built the largest railway infrastructure in India, since the British left in 1947!
2) Dedicated Freight Corridor or #DFC is a total of 2843 km in length in two branches.
1839 km Eastern DFC From Sohnewal in Punjab till Dankuni in West Bengal.
1500 km Western DFC from Dadri in Uttar Pradesh to JNPT in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
3) 70% of the freight trains currently running on the Indian Railway network, will shift to the dedicated freight corridors, creating enormous scope for new passenger trains!!
A gem of an column today in #ET by Praveen Singh Pardeshi.
Some interesting numbers in below tweets on how the new #FarmLaws2020 should help the poor farmers of India big time.
...
1) 80% of India's farms are < 2 hectares. They can become richer by forming Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs).
In Maharashtra 10,000 grape, vegetable & tomato farmers work with Sahyadri Agro Farms, which directly markets their produce to Tesco in Europe. Setup cold storage too.
2) 6900 mandis of India havs monopoly to buy goods from 14,50,00,000 farmer families, and sell to 130,00,00,000 consumers!
In Karnataka, a unified agri market has already led to 5.1% increase in agri goods price, with profit margins of small farmers increasing by 39 to 159%!
