March 26: Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine from India and is gaining International acclaim more than ever in the present era. Indimasi – The Healing Village is a pioneer in creating awareness of Ayurveda and Siddha Veda.

Kerala in India is called ‘God’s own country’. The name becomes meaningful as the civilization and culture still embrace the ancient wisdom of the orient in its purest form. The land where Zero was invented, in which Ayurveda & Yoga blossomed and ancient masters from Aryabhata to Shankaracharya to Sri Narayana Guru lived, has a great legacy contributing heavily to Indian culture or ‘Bharatha Sanskrithi’. Indimasi – The Healing village encapsulates the best of Arsha Bharathiya Sanskrithi by reviving ancient wisdom and blending it with modern science.

Comprehensive synthesis of Yoga, Kalari, Siddhaveda, Integrated System of Medicine, Cancer care, Naturopathy, Psychotherapy, Post Natal Care, Stress Management, Infertility treatment, Detoxification and Meditation are the USP of Indimasi. Led by the charismatic Guru Yogi Shivan who is hailed as the ‘Practical Yogi’ by his followers from around the world including India, Middle East and Europe.

Indimasi is attracting westerners and foreigners who are keen to explore Yoga, Ayurveda and ancient Indian wisdom. It is a calm abode which aims for a balanced natural life which is ailment free. The modern man whose mind is always anxious and who suffers from toxic stress can discover the healing touch for the soul, mind and body complex. The coinage Indimasi has its etymology in “Indi” from India and “Asi” from the Mahavakya in Upanishad “Tat tvam Asi (Thou Art That)”. It is meant to be similar to the sound of having ‘intimacy’ with oneself.

Speaking to a group of western enthusiasts of Indian tradition in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Guru Yogi Shivan articulated – “ Indimasi is a replica of villages which existed in ancient India – Bharat. Bharat was a combination of self-sustaining villages. These villages were like a joint family who stayed together, worked together and prospered together. In these villages it was mandatory to have a dairy farm, agricultural fields, a pond, amphitheatre, Kalari, traditional hospital and temple along with a meditation centre.”

Indimasi urges introspection to the Modern society which is plagued by mental and physical ailments such as irrational fears, unnecessary anxieties, lack of mutual trust and toxic stress. The Gurus or Masters in Indimasi inspire the people to look within for solutions and point out that the cause of misery is the indulgent lifestyle and entanglement in the world of sensual pleasures and material benefits. The systematic approach of this Ashram / Healing village is to ignite the fire of self-enquiry in our innermost core where consciousness is manifesting. Unlike some traditional schools of Indian philosophy, Indimasi never rejects materialism completely. It exhorts people to combine spiritualism and materialism as the two sides of the same coin of human life.

The ‘darshana’ or philosophy of Indimasi is one of embracing life in its various forms. It teaches the philosophy of inclusion and acceptance of all the dimensions of life. Indimasi represents the ‘spiritual lineage’ of the Sages and Gurus starts from sage Agastya Muni who is one among the most revered of Sapth Rishis (seven sages) of ancient Bharat.  The Maha Rishi has pioneered Siddha, Kalari and Silambam in the ancient world which inspired an entire heritage which spread across through Asia.

The great lineage of the ‘sampradaya & parampara’ followed through various sages and gurus across millennia and was re articulated centuries ago by Guru Kombai Siddhar followed by Sri Swayam Poorna Swami and Shiva Jyothi Dharmananda. This unique legacy is now heralded by Guru Yogi Shivan. He is one of the pioneers in the present era who brought the synthesis of Siddha, Yoga and Ayurveda to the modern world.

Indimasi is a regular stop over for global enthusiasts of Yoga & Ayurveda and Yogi Shivan a much sought out speaker in national and international circuits regarding health and wellness. Various experts from the health care and wellness domains have sought  help for pursuing their research from this renowned Guru.

A good part of the revenue that is earned is spent for social work uplifting and upgrading the life of the under privileged sections of society. The modern man who has lost himself / herself in a rat race has lost the ‘mojo’ of harmonious life.  Indimasi which radiates the essence of India is a good space to rediscover it.

March 25: “Nothing is impossible; there are routes to any destination, and if we have the will, we should always have sufficient resources.” We frequently use the word “impossible” as an excuse,” according to Gayatri Mohanty, a former professional banker with 12 years of experience in the corporate banking sector who left her job to follow her aspirations and career in the fitness industry.

Gayatri did not transform from a professional banker to a fitness enthusiast overnight. It required a great deal of courage and commitment for her to leave her well-compensated banker career and pursue her calling in the world of fitness. Gayatri was born in a small town and was raised in a conservative setting. She was expected to obtain an education solely for marrying, giving birth to children, and settling down with her family. Gayatri belonged to a weaker section of them, forcing her to submit to patriarchal conventions.

“While working at a desk banking job and taking care of my family, I could not engage in much physical activity. With the guidance of my coach, I joined a gym to engage in some strength and endurance-building workouts. I embarked on a 9 km overnight trek six months later. Astonished by my endurance, my guide urged me to take on more difficult excursions. This was a significant first step in the exciting journey I was about to embark on. After that, I made a 70-kilometre Chadar trip in just six days in Ladakh, one of the most arduous in the region. We were 11000 meters above sea level, where it was -33 degrees. A broken wrist only made things more difficult, but I didn’t quit. Instead, I fell in love with trekking since it had awoken a hidden beast inside me that is always ready to fulfil its thirst for trekking,” says Gayatri, a mother of a beautiful son.

Her father is a rock for Gayatri, who looks to him for advice and guidance. In every aspect of my life, he (father) was there to support and guide me. He compelled me to join the NCC when I was about 17 years old. At this point, I can confidently claim that this was the beginning of my transformation. Being picked for the Rajpath marching squad was considered a significant accomplishment when I was younger. My leg palm required eight stitches after an accident occurred during exercising. Because I was a female cadet, I was subjected to sexism and harassment simply for being a good cadet. However, I never allowed any of it to influence me, and no one could ever make me lose my self-belief. Despite my injury, I completed the Rajpath March, which gave me more confidence.”

Gayatri, who is an MBA in Banking and Insurance, is an ISSA certified fitness trainer, a certified Zumba and Ace trainer, a solo Himalayan trekker, Motivational speaker, Model, Actor, and Writer. As of now, she has completed over 8 treks, including the ascent to Everest Base camp situated at 5,346 meters, Nangkar Tshang Peak at 5,077 meters, Kalapathar at 5,500 meters, Mount Elbrus at 5,642 meters and Mt. Kilimanjaro at 5895m. 

Gayatri began her life as a regular Indian Bahu (daughter-in-law) in an orthodox and traditional family. She was content, though, that she was permitted to labour beyond the four walls. “Kehte hain na, aasman se tapka aur khajoor pe aatka, wahi hua mere saath, wahi hua mere saath.” I functioned like a ‘kolhu ka bell- aur sab baja rahe the’ inside and outside the house. I was managing everything efficiently (or so I thought), but my entire family were less than appreciative of my efforts. I did that for ten years. However, neither they nor I were content.”

Between the role of a wife, daughter-in-law, mother, and employee somewhere, she lost herself. Her son also needed his mother. She stopped communication with a few of her family members as they had no love and concern for her. After juggling through many thoughts, she decided to put the last nail in the coffin of her suffering. She left the monotonous banking job and started a second round of the journey.

Gayatri is also a motivational speaker at various organizations and educational institutions, acted in a short film based on mental health in 2020, the jury for beauty pageants, modelling for beauty brands, and has authored many articles for fitness magazines.

She was honored with International Women Achiever’s Award 2019 by 108-year-old Padmashri awardee and environmentalist Vrushamathe Saalumarada Thimmakka, South India Women Achiever’s Award 2020, and International Women Achiever Award by Smruti Saddhna 2021.

“Compassion, not compromises, are what I require as a woman. I’m looking for understanding, not dismissal. I’ve never allowed my abilities to be harmed by circumstances. I’ve retraced my life’s priorities and strengthened my resolve to face any problem. I’m rash and caring at the same time. I’m fearless but cautious. I am a 21st-century woman who is powerful and self-assured.” Said Gayatri.

The DCGI (Drug Controller General of India) approved TB drug, pretomanid, for conditional access under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP), can play a significant role towards elimination of highly drug-resistant TB in India 

Pretomanid is a ‘made in India’ product used as part of a six-month treatment regimen with reported efficacy of 90%; has potential to contribute to India’s ‘TB Elimination program by 2025’ 

New Delhi, India March 24: The world continues to battle against pandemics, including COVID-19 and tuberculosis (TB). March 24, marks World TB Day and TB Alliance, a global not-for-profit organization, is joining with partners around the globe to raise awareness of one of the world’s oldest diseases. TB had been the world’s leading infectious killeruntil COVID-19. This new pandemic has shown that new tools, diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines can be quickly developed and deployed with the adequate funding and political will. The same resources are needed to bring the TB pandemic under control and make progress toward a TB-free world.

In July 2020, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) had approved the TB drug pretomanid (developed specifically for certain drug-resistant forms of the disease) for conditional access under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP), making India the second country in the world to provide regulatory approval for this product.

On the occasion of World TB Day, Sandeep Juneja, Sr. VP, Market Access at TB Alliance, said“New regimens are urgently needed to treat this deadly infectious disease, especially drug-resistant forms of TB which have a history of poor cure rates and treatments with often intolerable side effects. We welcome the fact that more than 30 countries, including India, have obtained pretomanid-based regimens to treat highly drug-resistant forms of TB.TB Alliancestands ready to work side by side and learn from India and every other country seeking to implementnew TB therapies. Our job is not done until each treatment we develop is accessible to every person who needs it.”

A government-led study of the regimen in India called *mBPaL commenced in October 2021 and is now enrolling patients at three sites out of a planned 11. It is scheduled to reach its primary completion in 2023 after enrolling 400 patients.

TB Alliance manages the largest portfolio of TB drug candidates, with more than 30 projects under active development. Its researchers and research partners are working to advance the development of new TB compounds and medicines, with a goal to develop a short, simple, and affordable TB regimens suitable for all people with TB.

To date, 17 countries or regulatory bodies, including India, have approved pretomanid as part of the BPaL regimen for the treatment of patients with highly drug-resistant forms of TB. Regulatory applications have been submitted to another 13 countries and counting by Viatris, TB Alliance’s global commercialization partner for pretomanid as part of the regimen. Viatris is joined by Macleods, Lupin, and Hongqi Pharma in holding licenses for pretomanid in countries with high TB burdens.

Data from TB Alliance’s ZeNix trial of the BPaL regimen, presented in 2021, demonstrated improvement in the safety and tolerability of the BPaL regimen with alterations in linezolid dosing with sustained favorable outcomes in 89 precent of all participants.

Though important advances have been made in recent years, the need to invest in TB research and development is even more apparent amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already reversed hard-won progress against TB. In 2020, the world saw the first increase in TB deaths since 2005, and a 15 percent reduction in the number of people treated for drug-resistant TB.

Bringing the TB pandemic under control can only be realized through global commitment and collaboration. TB Alliance is committed to contributing to this aspiration by inventing novel therapies that radically reshape the treatment landscape and save lives.

*BPaL regimen combines the antibiotics bedaquiline (B), pretomanid (Pa) and linezolid (L)
