यज्ञ: एक ऐतिहासिक एवं वैज्ञानिक दृष्टि
Authors: सिंह रवीन्द्र 
Published: July 2019

मानव की शारीरिक, मानसिक और आत्मिक शान्ति के लिए प्राचीन ऋषि-मुनियों ने अनेक विधानों की व्यवस्था की थी, जिनका पालन करते हुए मानव अपनी आत्मशुद्धि, आत्मबल-वृद्धि और आरोग्य की रक्षा कर सकता है, इन्हीं विधि-विधानों में से एक है यज्ञ। वैदिक विधान से हवन, पूजन, मंत्रोच्चारण से युक्त, लोकहित के विचार से की गई पूजा को ही यज्ञ कहते हैं। यज्ञ मनुष्य तथा देवताओं के बीच सम्बन्ध स्थापित करने वाला माध्यम है। अग्नि देव की स्तुति के साथ ऋग्वेद का प्रारम्भ भारतवर्ष में यज्ञ का प्राचीनतम ऐतिहासिक-साहित्यिक साक्ष्य है। वहीं सिन्धु घाटी की सभ्यता के कालीबंगा, लोथल, बनावली एवं राखीगढ़ी के उत्खननों से प्राप्त अग्निवेदियाँ इसका पुरातात्त्विक प्रमाण है। यज्ञ तत्वदर्शन- उदारता, पवित्रता और सहकारिता की त्रिवेणी पर केन्द्रित है। यही तीन तथ्य ऐसे हैं, जो इस विश्व को सुखद, सुन्दर और समुन्नत बनाते हैं। ग्रह नक्षत्र पारस्परिक आकर्षण में बैठे हुए ही नहीं है, बल्कि एक-दूसरे का महत्वपूर्ण आदान-प्रदान भी करते रहते हैं। परमाणु और जीवाणु जगत भी इन्हीं सिद्धांतों के सहारे अपनी गतिविधियाँ सुनियोजित रीति से चला रहा है। सृष्टि संरचना, गतिशीलता और सुव्यवस्था में संतुलन इकोलॉजी का सिद्धांत ही सर्वत्र काम करता हुआ दिखाई पड़ता है। हरियाली से प्राणि पशु निर्वाह, प्राणि शरीर से खाद का उत्पादन, खाद उत्पादन से पृथ्वी को खाद और खाद से हरियाली। यह सहकारिता चक्र घूमने से ही जीवनधारियों की शरीर यात्रा चल रही है। समुद्र से बादल, बादलों से भूमि में आर्द्रता, आर्द्रता से नदियों का प्रवाह, नदियों से समुद्र की क्षतिपूर्ति - यह जल चक्र धरती और वरूण का सम्पर्क बनाता और प्राणियों के निर्वहन के लिए उपयुक्त परिस्थितियाँ उत्पन्न करता है। शरीर के अवयव एक दूसरे की सहायता करके जीवन चक्र को घूमाते हैं। यह यज्ञीय परम्परा है, जिसके कारण जड़ और चेतन वर्ग के दोनों ही पक्ष अपना सुव्यवस्थित रूप बनाए हुए हैं।

Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a condition in which Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels are increased, Thyroxine (T4) level is normal to low, and Triiodothyronine (T3) level is normal. Daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone such as levothyroxine has been a standard approach to SCH. However, most modern approaches are unable to revert the condition to its normal level. Traditional approaches such as Yagya-Therapy can be an effective option in this regard. Yagya-Therapy provides pulmonary inhalation of medicinal-smoke of multiple herbs (generated through oblation in fire along with chanting of Vedic hymns), which have the potential for hormonal balance A case study is being reported wherein a patient (Male/60 years), who had been suffering from SCH since past 2 years and 4 months (pre-data), had been continuously taking allopathic medication for SCH, B12 complex and high blood pressure, and all this time TSH never became normal. The patient continued with the aforesaid medication, and took Yagya-Therapy for 3 months as an add-on therapy. Subsequently, after 4 months of completing Yagya-Therapy, post-data was recorded. Before Yagya-Therapy, TSH levels were very high, i.e. 4.79-11.82 µ/ml, which became normal (3.0 µ/ml) after the Yagya-Therapy. The earlier low levels of B12 (238-326 pg/ml) also increased to the upper side of the normal range (1034 pg/ml). Patient's other complaints such as tiredness, weakness, sleep issues were also resolved completely. Thus, the present study indicates the effectiveness of Yagya-Therapy in the treatment of SCH.

Yagya with Gayatri Mantra results in higher seed germination and seedling growth of Tritieum aestivm (wheat)
Authors: Chandel Ekta 
Published: July 2019

To investigate the effect of yagya with Gayetri mantra on the seed germination and seedling growth of Tritieum aestivm, systematic research has been conducted on yagya in which effect of yagya fumes on seed germination has been observed. It has been reported that the germination rate index is 85.08% and 48.15% respectively in seeds that are kept in presence of yagya fumes and control ( in absence of yagya fumes) respectively and coefficient of velocity of germination is 77.021% and 36.076% respectively in seeds kept in presence of yagya fumes and control. While mean germination time has been reported to be 1.29 days and 2.77 days respectively in seeds which were placed in presence of yagya fumes and control. The germinated seeds were observed for seedling development and it has been found that the growth of root length and shoot length were 11.875 cm and 11.762 cm respectively in the germinated seeds which were kept in presence of yagya fumes while the growth of root and shoot length were 8.352 cm and 7.904 cm respectively in the germinated seeds that kept in absence of yagya fumes.
The Historical and Philosophical Exegesis on Yagya in Ancient India
Authors: Pathik Pratishtha 
Published: July 2019

Yagya or sacrifice has been an integral part of Indian history and culture. More particularly in ancient India, Yagya appears as the backbone of entire social and political structure. Thus, most of the Vedic literature revolves around the sacrificial ritual in different forms for numerous purposes. In contemporary world, when the scientific temperament dominates almost all spheres of life, masses seek to comprehend everything pertaining to human lives in a rational way. However, the recognized truth is that human society exists in a dilemmatic situation where on one hand they are not ready to discard their cultural heritage, customs and traditions and on the other hand they aspire to abide with scientific logic and reason. Therefore, it is essential to trace the philosophy and common logic of one of the most consistent sacrificial practice of Indian culture, i.e. Yagya. And since the Yagya tradition traces its antiquity from the ancient India, there is a requirement to illustrate the historical existence of yagya in abundance. Thus, this paper attempts to comprehensively deal with historical and philosophical aspects of Yagya to understand its relevance in present scenario.
For this study historical methodology has been used premised on the analysis of primary and secondary sources, and the content is descriptive.
Since the time of oldest Indus valley civilization, we find archeological evidences of fire altars from sites such as Kalibagan(Rajasthan), Lothal(Gujrat) etc. which indicate the practice of sacrificial rituals. In entire Vedic literature, plethora of textual references elaborate the philosophy, ritual practice, benefits, norms, the hosts of yagyas, and the various types of sacrifices such as Shraut Yagya (public and royal sacrifices) and Pak Yagya (domestic sacrifices). Furthermore, both literary and archeological evidences enchant the practice and effects of distinct type of sacrifices in later Vedic age, pre-Mauryan period (6th century B.C.), age of empires (Mauryan, Shunga, Satavahana, Kanva, Kushana etc.) and Gupta period. This reveals the historical existence of our cultural tradition.
Moreover the philosophical relevance of yagya (to sacrifice) is exponent as an idea through which Vedic Rishis facilitated the harmony between ecological system and human life, the peaceful co-existence of all the creatures of the universe and their interdependence.
Though it overtly seems that Yagya has been a part of religious life of Vedic Aryans, but after the philosophical and historical analysis, it appears that Yagya crucially contributed to social harmony, constructing political hegemony, and facilitating public welfare in its most intense as well as external procedures. Hence, for dwindling the cultural, environmental and social quos in today’s times yagya needs to be practiced in a modified logical manner.
Management of Epileptic Seizures through an Integrated Approach including Yagya Therapy
Authors: Mishra Alka , Batham Lalima , Verma Shilpi , Mishra Saurabh , Shrivastava Vandana 
Published: July 2019

Background: Epileptic seizure is a neurological condition in which brief to long episodes of vigorous shaking, convulsions, blackouts, fainting, unresponsiveness, jerks, etc. occur in the patients. Current treatment approaches are anti-seizure medicines, which patients are bound to take throughout life. These medications are mostly not able to reverse or eradicate the condition.
Purpose: As per the classical texts of Ayurveda, Apasmara is a disease that has similar symptoms as those found in epilepsy; it is of four types wherein either one of the three Doshas, i.e. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, is predominantly vitiated, or there is an imbalance of all the three Doshas. Hence, the medicinal herbs that balance the respective doshas, are used in the Ayurvedic treatment of epileptic seizures. Various plant extracts or their derivatives have been found to be effective in the treatment of epilepsy. Yagya Therapy provides pulmonary inhalation of medicinal smoke of multiple herbs (generated through oblation in fire along with chanting of Vedic hymns), which have the potential for seizure treatment.
Methods: A case report about a male patient, who was suffering from epileptic seizures since past 13 years, as well as other associated ailments has been presented in this article. The patient was prescribed an integrated approach including Yagya Therapy (using an appropriate herbal formulation - hawan samagri), and some other Ayurvedic treatments like decoction of medicinal herbs, Ayurvedic medicines, dietary restrictions, etc.
Results: Before starting the integrated approach including Yagya Therapy, the patient used to experience seizure episodes, at least once every 7 to 10 days; however, after starting the integrated approach, the patient did not experience any seizure episode up to his second visit, i.e. for about 54 days. He also experienced relief in other associated ailments like vibration in the entire body.
Conclusion: The integrated approach including Yagya Therapy showed encouraging results with regards to the treatment of epileptic seizures and other associated ailments.
Deciphering ‘Idam-na-mama– This is not mine’ as the core tenet of a Yagya based life-style
Authors: Sharma Gopal Krishna , Sharma Purva G 
Published: July 2019

Yagya is the pillar of Vedic culture. It is an integral part of our sacred customs. Yagya is mostly considered as a ceremony incurring several steps. It is merely physical aspect of yagya in which after initial rituals and mantra chanting herbs are offered to fire as sacrifice. The physical process in itself is beneficial in several aspects for individuals, environment, nature etc. However the significance of yagya is not restricted to this sacrificial fire-process. It has much wider philosophy and deeper meaning. Ancient scripts emphasize more onto lessons associated with it for life and gives an insight towards the yagyaiya life style associated with it. The phrase ‘Idam-na-mama’ meant ‘This is not mine’. ‘Idam-na-mama’ signifies the central theme of Yagya. Life lived in accordance with the lessons from yagya experience holistic and cohesive development, many modern research findings have evidenced these phenomena.

‘Is Yagya or Agnihotra relevant in the today’s time?
Authors: Jha Anil 
Published: July 2019

Since past 25 years, I have been experiencing the positive takeaways of Gayatri Yagya, performed daily at my home. Hence, I decided to incorporate this process in our hospital routine. Initiated in 2004, it has been a journey of a good 15 years now that Yagya is an integral part of the early morning hospital hours. The relatives of the critically ill patients, especially those who are in the ICU and the ones who are lined up for various cardiac procedures and cardiac operations are encouraged to take part in the havan (Yagya or Agnihotra).
The acceptance and the proactive response of the relatives have been very positive and encouraging. The satisfaction and calmness on their countenance says it all. Several of them have revealed at the time of discharge that this was one of the best things they have done in their lifetime.
In addition to this, it is also observed that the requirement of antibiotics is minimum for the patients and for a heart operation like coronary bypass surgery, we do not require antibiotics higher than 2nd generation Cephalosporins and the infection rate is close to zero. With my combined years of overall experience, I can only attribute it to the antibacterial properties of Yagna fumes.

Published: July 2019

Background: Pseudomonas.aeruginosa is among the most common opportunistic hospital pathogens, which exhibit an innate resistance and has developed increasing resistance to many useful antimicrobial agents over the last decades. This study investigated the occurrence of important types of ESBLs and MBLs in association with potential important virulence factors among P. aeruginosa isolates from feces of Jordanian infants.
Methods: A total of 302 feces samples were obtained randamely from neonates and infants admitted to Pediatric Clinic and the Neonate Intensive Care Unit (NICU)/Jordan University Hospital (JUH), over a 9-months period(2016- 2017). Fecal samples were cultured for P.aeruginosa and their growth was identified and tested using microbiological and antibiotic susceptibility methods. Additionly, virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance genes and genotypes were detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
Results: A total of 16/302 (5.3%) of P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from feces samples. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates ranged between the lowest 18.75% to meropenem and highest of 87.5% to azetreonam among 9 tested drugs. The percentage of specific genes of ESBLs and MBLs in 16 P.aeruginosa isolates were the following: blaOXA-50, blaTEM, blaCTX-M , blaVIM ,blaKPC , blaSHV ,blaGES, and blaVEB were detected at the rate of 13(81.2%), 13(81.2%), 12(75%), 12(75%), 11(68.7%), 10(62.5%), 2(12.5),1(6.2%), respectively. The percentage of the potential virulence genes in the same isolates were detected as follow: lasB, algD , toxA, exo S and exo U at the rate of 100%, 87.5% , 81.2%, 81.2%,31.2, respectively. All P.aeruginosa isolates observed to develop beta-hemolysis on both human and sheep blood agar, and to produce either pyoverdin ((56.3%) or pyocyanin (43.7%).
Conclusions: The present study demonstrates high occurrence of multidrug resistant P.aeruginosa isolates in infant feces which carried high rates of important genes of ESBLs and MBLs and potential virulence factors.

Conclusion: SENV and TTV exist among CHC patients. They had insignificant implications on the course or progression of liver diseases.
X-Rays from e± Pair Halos
Authors: Eungwanichayapant A. , Luangtip W. , Maithong W. , Ruffolo D. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
It was previously suggested that e
± pair halos could be observed in γ-rays. Searching for pair halos is a challenging topic in γ-ray astronomy that has not yet yielded a convincing detection for an individual object. Here we propose that X-ray observations could reveal the existence of e
± pair halos. To support our suggestion, we computed the observed energy and spatial distribution of X-ray photons from the pair halos and check the feasibility of pair halo detection by current and future X-ray observatories. The results show that current X-ray missions could register a positive signal for the pair halos created under some conditions. For a magnetic field (B) of ∼1 μG, the X-ray could be observable for a seed gamma-ray energy of

TeV. If

TeV, the observable range of B would be B ≳ 300 nG.
Statistics on the Magnetosheath Properties Related to Magnetopause Magnetic Reconnection

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Magnetosheath properties, particularly those related to magnetopause magnetic reconnection (MR), are investigated in this study. (1) Asymmetries are found to exist in the distributions of plasma and magnetic field parameters in the magnetosheath. These asymmetries are related to the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation, and they are produced either on the bow shock or inside the magnetosheath. Thus, one must be very cautious in directly using the upstream solar wind and IMF properties as the magnetopause MR initiation conditions, since the magnetosheath parameters are not the same everywhere. (2) A unique method is introduced to estimate how much IMF magnetic flux passes through the magnetosphere via MR on either the low-latitude or the high-latitude magnetopause. This flux mainly varies with three independent parameters: the IMF clock angle θ
CL, the magnetosheath plasma β, and the solar wind sound Mach number M

S
. Surprisingly, the magnetic fluxes passing through the magnetosphere are comparable under the southward and northward IMF conditions. (3) The dipole tilt angle, the property from the inside of the magnetosphere, also controls the magnetosheath parameters. As the Earth’s dipole tilt angle varies, the plasma pressure ridge shifts its location but remains near the magnetic equator. The stagnation point of the magnetosheath flow on the magnetopause, however, remains at the subsolar point no matter how large the dipole tilt angle is. These behaviors may be determinative of the locations of MR and the generation of flux transfer events on the magnetopause.
Perceptions of and attitudes to the compulsory Community Service programme for therapists in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Khan Nasim B. , Knights Stephen , Esterhuizen Tonya 
Published: August 2019

The success of Community Service programmes initiated globally to recruit health care professionals to provide services in under-served or rural areas depends largely on their attitudes, understanding of the programme's objectives, prepared­ness for working in these areas and their adaptability. This study assessed rehabilitation therapists' perception and attitude on commencement and completion of their compulsory Community Service programme in KwaZulu-Natal in 2005. Repeat observational cross sectional studies were conducted. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by all therapists on commencement and after completion of their Community Service. The proportion of therapists who indicated that they would work in the public sector in future declined from 50% at onset to 35% by exit and fewer (24%) said they would work in a rural area. Collecting a rural allowance was not associated (p=0.78) with an expressed interest to work in a rural area or remain at the same institution (p=0.32). There were significant differences in support and supervision pro­vided between the professional groups (p<0.001). Particular concerns centred on limited infrastructural support, supervision, training, resources available and language barriers in delivering a better rehabilitation service. Despite the challenges faced, Community Service therapists felt that they had made a difference and that their experience had been personally and professionally rewarding.
