Swine flu awareness

I have got a copy of mail to Presidents of Rotary club, today from Rtn. Dipak Purohit, District Governor 3131. I thought this useful for all and posted in this blog.

Original mail:

My dear Presidents,

I agree with you that swine flu awareness is needed, but there is no need to be panicky and join the publicity propaganda carried out by media and others which acts as a vehicle to spread misconception than to spread scientific information.

These are few facts about swine flu when discussed with the leading epidemiologists.

1) Swine flu, that is H1N1 flu is not new, first detected in 1987.

2) Infective stage of flue is 5 days, 1 day before and 4 days after onset of symptoms.

3) The best way to prevent it spreading is asking patient having symptoms of flu like fever cough and running nose to take rest at home for 4 days so he does not transmit it.

4) Masks are of limited value if any, in this disease, it can spread through droplets on your skin, through contact etc, and I have seen that the masks in Pune are worn as fashion statement, while walking on road today morning I saw people wearing masks coming out for a morning walk with their dogs!, many wearing masks around their necks, and so on, in fact these masks shall act as the vehicles to carry the virus, instead, avoiding crowded places or cinema halls or malls where air conditioners are on, is advisable, because you get recirculated air, where the virus density multiplies.

5)Death after H1N1 flu is not common, in fact infections like measles is taking toll of thousands more every year, and we are oblivious of the facts. Swine flu is being blown out of proportion by media trying to create hysteria among lay people.

6) Fever accompanied by respiratory distress, should be immediately notified which is likely to be a complication of H1N1 flu.

7)The mortality is less than .01 percent of those affected, that means may be one in 10,000 affected is likely to suffer the life loss.

8) If you remember, 2 years ago SARS was blown out of proportion, what happened? Humans develop immunity to the virus, the same is going to happen, we develop immunity in due course of time, the virus is in the air, you can not stop it, our body is already developing the immunity so nothing to panic.

We need to take care of children and elderly who have less immunity and do not let them go to crowded places that is all .

WE MUST START THIS CAMPAIGN OF NOT TO BE AFRAID OF THIS FLU AND LET YOUR DAILY WORK CONTINUE AS NORMAL, NO MASKS FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS OR SPECIFIC EXPOSED TO LOT OF CROWDED ENVIRONMENTS MAY BE BENEFITTED, NOT PROVEN.

I am amazed to hear that people are selling masks of RS 20 each which are available to less than Rupee 1 in the market.
See who is getting benefitted?

Please spread the scientific info, do not join the band wagon and stick to science, that should be the order of the day.

There is another temple in the complex near Parasnath. This is of Sri Chandraprabh Swami, eighth Jain Tirthankar.

This is also very beautiful temple built by Ganeshilal Kapurchand Kharad, another esteemed member of Johari Sath, Kolkata.

Ganeshilal Kapurchand Kharad Johari were mainly in ruby and sapphires business. They were manufacturing and exporting these precious stones from Burma, Shyam, Pylin and Cylon rough. They accumulated wealth out of this business and spent generously to build the temple. The temple is built some years after Rai Badridas built Parasnath glass temple of Sri Sheetal Nath.

पर्युषण पर्व का महत्व भाग 2

श्रमण भगवन महावीर स्वामी
महावीर स्वामी मन्दिर
कोलकाता

यह पर्व भाद्रपद कृष्ण १२ से प्रारम्भ हो कर भाद्रपद शुक्ला ४ को पूर्ण होता है। पर्युषण पर्व का अन्तिम दिन संवत्सरी कहलाता है। संवत्सरी पर्व पर्युषण ही नही जैन धर्म का प्राण है। इस दिन साम्वत्सरिक प्रतिक्रमण किया जाता है जिसके द्वारा वर्ष भर में किए गए पापों का प्रायश्चित्त करते हैं। साम्वत्सरिक प्रतिक्रमण के बीच में ही सभी ८४ लाख जीव योनी से क्षमा याचना की जाती है। यहाँ क्षमा याचना सभी जीवों से बैर भाव मिटा कर मैत्री करने के लिए होती है। क्षमा याचना शुद्ध ह्रदय से करने से ही फल प्रद होती है। इसे औपचारिकता मात्र नही समझना चाहिए।

पर्युषण शब्द का अर्थ है एक स्थान पर निवास करना। द्रव्य से इस समय साधू साध्वी भगवंत एक स्थान पर निवास करते हैं। भाव से अपनी आत्मा में स्थिरवास करना ही वास्तविक पर्युषण है। इस लिए इस समय यथासंभव विषय एवं कषायों से दूर रह कर अपनी आत्मा में लीन होने के लिए आत्म चिंतन करना चाहिए। साथ ही सामायिक, प्रतिक्रमण, देवपूजन, गुरुभक्ति, साधर्मी वात्सल्य अदि भी यथाशक्ति करने योग्य है।

इस समय कल्पसूत्र की वाचना होती है जिसमे तीन अधिकार हैं १ जिन चरित्र अधिकार २ स्थविरावली एवं ३ साधू समाचारी। जिन चरित्र अधिकार में पश्चानुपुर्वी से तीर्थंकर श्रमण भगवन महावीर, पुरुषादानिय पार्श्वनाथ, अर्हत अरिष्टनेमि व ऋषभ अर्हन कौशलिक इन चार तीर्थंकरों का विस्तार से एवं शेष २० तीर्थंकरों का संक्षेप में जीवन चरित्र वांचा जाता है। स्थविरावली में चरम तीर्थंकर महावीर स्वामी के गणधरों से ले कर आज तक के युगप्रधान आचार्यों एवं स्थविर मुनियों का जीवन चरित्र समझाया जाता है। साधू समाचारी का वांचन साधू साध्वी भगवंतों के सामने किया जाता है। पर्युषण पर्व के समय कल्पसूत्र का वाचन अवश्य सुनना चाहिए।
