On September 11th, 2018, IDVM – India took the opportunity to hold a seminar on Ayurveda during the short visit of Dr Srinivas to Sri Dham Mayapur. The primary impetus to conduct this seminar came from the enthusiasm of HG Veera Gopal Prabhu who wants to share the awareness of the importance of Ayurvedic treatment in our society.
HG Veera Gopal Prabhu is one of Dr Srinivas’ patients who has been taking Ayurvedic treatment since a few months ago. He was suffering from diabetes and was taking so much insulin to keep the balance of his body, but since he started taking the Ayurvedic treatment under the guidance of Dr Srinivas using his “Keto diet” method, now he is declaring that he has totally stopped using insulin and any other medicines, indeed he feels much better. So, since he experienced the transformation by following a proper diet (Dinacharya and Rtucharya) under Dr Srinivas’ guidance, he really wants to share and bring awareness to as many people in Sri Dham Mayapur. He made the effort of advertising the seminar in the Mayapur forum and during the morning announcement in the temple.
With the assistance of Vishnurata das who was arranging the hall for the seminar, the event was conducted from 10 AM to 12 PM, with approximately 30 devotees attending the seminar including HG Pancaratna Prabhu (ACBVS) and his wife, HG Saci Priya Mataji, HG Radha Rati Mataji, Bhakta Kamal, HG Shyama Mayi Mataji, and other residents of Sri Dham Mayapur. The course was very much appreciated by all the who attended.
Dr Srinivas was covering many important points during his speech:
- The introduction of Ayurveda.
- Dinacharya and Rtucharya.
- The bad effect of plastic toothbrush and sweetened toothpaste.
- The dangerous of refined cooking oil and maida flour.
- The advantages of taking millet diet over rice.
- The dangerous of packed masala. (Dr Srinivas was making a nice point, he said that “once you cut the package of the masala, that time you are actually cutting your throat”)
- Encouraging to grow our own natural organic foods.
The seminar was very interactive, a lot of questions and answers were going on. “We are introducing the Vedic system, Vedic food, all this chemical food is not Vedic civilization, rather this is destructive. The Vedic system is we grow our own foods, no chemical. If we grow our own organic foods, there will be no question of illness” concluded Dr Srinivas at the end of the seminar. All the attendance walked out with smiles on their faces indicating their satisfaction with having attended the seminar. Dr Srinivas also thanked IDVM – India as well as HG Veera Gopal Prabhu who was very much excited to have this course conducted.
Apart from this, we also opened a table to display various natural products such as millets, pure organic coconut oil, pure desi cow ghee, natural soaps, tooth powder, pain killer oil, and many others. In fact, Dr Srinivas gifted free tooth powder and painkiller oil to all the attendees at the end of the seminar.
About 80% of those attending made some appointment with Dr Srinivas to have a health consultation which takes place in the IDVM office. HG Veera Gopal Prabhu was the one who managed the timing to meet the doctor.
On behalf of IDVM – India, we thank all the devotees who participated in the seminar to make it successful. And to benefit all of us, this seminar will be conducted again in the future as requested by many devotees.
