The World Book Fair in New Delhi, organized by the National Book Trust, India, was attended by Acharya Balkrishna, the CEO of Patanjali Yogpeeth. As the keynote speaker, he highlighted the importance of events like the book fair in bringing together global literary knowledge. He emphasized Patanjali’s efforts in popularizing Yoga and Ayurveda worldwide, noting that Yoga’s effectiveness is widely recognized globally, making it a universal language.
Acharya Balkrishna discussed Ayurveda, stating that while efforts have been made to globalize it, more work is needed. He stressed that Ayurveda is a complete science that complements other medical systems, rather than opposing them. He suggested integrating Ayurveda into daily life, beyond just considering it a medical science.
Patanjali has published several books, including the “World Herbal Encyclopedia,” which catalogs 32,000 medicinal plants, and “Swasthya Samhita,” a comprehensive guide to Ayurveda, covering topics such as new diseases, discoveries, and preventive measures. The book categorizes the human body into 14 sections, describes 6,821 remedies, and provides insights into nearly 500 diseases.
Acharya Balkrishna also spoke about Patanjali’s products, stating that they are designed with the well-being of families in mind, meeting all quality and purity standards. He encouraged manufacturers to prioritize family well-being and advised the youth to consider the long-term consequences of their actions, urging them to work for both present and future benefits. Patanjali has also published books on various topics, including Yoga, Ayurveda, education, medicine, and nutrition, as well as developing curriculum books for Indian schools.
