Culture cures disease, Dr Hande

Dr. Hedgewar Smarak Samiti, RSS affiliate, organized a 15-day yoga camp for Asthma at Agarwal Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Vepery, Chennai today.  Sri H V Hande, medical practitioner, former Minister of AIADMK and now National Council member of BJP inaugurated the camp.  Speaking on the occasion, he explained in detail with medical terms on how asanas can protect our health in day to day life.  He further stated, “When I was a MLC during MGR period, I was asked to find way to curtail the spreading of “Madras Eye’.  I immediately said that if we do not shake hands for greeting each other and just say ‘Vanakkam’, then infection will not affect others.  Madras Eye will wade away in one day. Culture helps to cure disease. In yet another occasion, when RSS invited me to inaugurate a Blood Bank function, I requested our former Chief Minister M G Ramachandran for permission to participate.  He immediately and happily accepted saying that RSS is doing good work without publicity. Feel happy to participate in the function”.  Dr. Hande wished the yoga camp a great success and that by word of mouth itself; RSS keep doing its service activities.  Sri Sreedharan, Yoga instructor explained how culture forms the habit and mannerism.  He appealed the participants to create awareness on how today’s young generation are facing with diseases and elaborated how our ancient ancestors practiced Yoga in their daily life.
