23. Dust Storms

26. Facts About Breathing
• You breath about 26,000 times a day (16-18
breaths per minute)
• That is about 150 full bathtubs of air
• We breath in over a billion small particles a
day (1,000,000,000)
• The average house collects about 2 pounds of
dust a week

27. How does your body filter out the
particles?
Mucus
Dried Mucus forms when mucus traps dirt in the nose

28. Nasal Hair
Nose hairs filter most of the dirt in the air.

44. Yagya?
Process of refinement of subtle energy existing in the matter with the
help of thermal energy and the Cosmic energy of Sound of the
Mantras.
Meaning
Types
400 Yagnas defined in Shastras
Seva Yagya, Prana Yagya, Gnana Yagya

45. Historical Significance of Gayatri and Yagya
INDIAN CULTURE
Symbol of positive thoughts Symbol of noble deeds
Righteous thoughts combined with righteous deeds leads to growth
of human soul and world peace.

46. Vedic Evolution
• Atharveda: Sound therapy aspects of mantra for treatment of physical,
psychological & emotional disorders.
– “one who discards Yagya, loses all eminence and grace. Those who perform havan
(Yagya) are blessed by the inculcation of divine glow in their hearts” (Atharv.6/15)
• Samaveda: Process of offering through cosmic radiation of sound energy
• Yajurveda: Scientific aspects of Yagna
– Divinity leaves the person who discards Yagya,which is a manifestation of thee” (Yajur.
2/22)
– The yagyagni enshowers good rains, prosperity and strength” (Yajur. 3/40).
• Geeta: Reveals that all the karmas except the Yagya-karma are the causes of the
thralldoms that bind the individual self in the endless cycle of life and death,
attachments and sufferings. The karmas of Yagya, charity and tapa purify and
illuminate the human life.
• Mahabharta: Affirms that The essence of all religions is incorporated in Yagya There
is no regulatory system like Yagya. All saintly men and women should adopt Yagya as a duty of
human life

47. Why Yagya?
• Yagya is more than a mere ritual based on scientific laws of
nature, it is a cyclic process which occurs in mother nature.
• Yagya teaches us a way of life to promote wellbeing and
happiness for everyone, combination of heat and sound energies
sends positive vibrations into mother nature creating an aura of
peace and wellbeing for all.
• Teaches us Art of purification, Art of communication, Art of
Surrender, Art of connecting to Divine power within, Art of
Sacrifice, Art of breathing, Art of tapping into Pranic energy from
universe, Art of divine guidance

48. Three Aspects of Yagya

49. Subtle aspects
•Importance of Yagya lies in the subtle power of offerings given in the
sacrificial fire
•Effect of energy of Mantras to activate the subtle energy of Shabda
(cosmic sound).
•All activities are performed with mantras even purification of
substances.
•Dr Hiroshi Motoyama has studied effects of Agnihotra (Yagya) on
Cardiac Plexus (Anahat Chakra). The condition after yagya is found
same as it would be after psychic or spiritual healing

50. Social Aspect
• Symbol of Unity & togetherness –for a common purpose
which is welfare of whole universe
• Promotes Social Networking irrespective of caste, creed,
gender, nationality

51. Scientific Aspect
• Two basic energy – Heat (Fire) and Sound (Mantra)
– The positive vibrations of Shabd are taken up in atmosphere
spiral form by up bound heat radiations
• Fumigating Substances Used in Yagya

55. Benefits of Yagya
Environmental
• Removal of foul odors: Diffusion of substances like thymol, eugenol,
pine, terpinol and oils of sandal-wood, camphor and clove.
• Removal of bacteria:
– Formaldehyde is antiseptic and has disinfectant property
– Formic acid & Acetic acid are produced which are good disinfectants and used
as preservatives.
• Removal of insects: Volatile oils drives non bacterial insects like flies,
ringworm, dice etc away or kills them.
• Effects on Vegetation:
– Agnihotra Farming methods
– Ash as fertilizer
• Role of CO2 produced
– CO2 produced as slow combustion process helps vegetation
– Stimulant for patients suffering from ventilation problems
– Helps treating some of the Mental disorders

56. Benefits of Yagya
Healthcare - Yagnopathy
• Pulmonary drug-administration by inhalation and infusion through
skin pores through the process of yagya (agnihotra, homam).
• Inhalation from nose (deep breathing), mouth (chanting vedic hymns)
• Medicine in its gaseous form is easily dispersed and gains higher potency.
– Drugs in the form of medicinal plans offered in fire along with
specific vedic hymns (mantras)
• Yagya therapy is a Preventive mechanism
– No side effects
– Encouraging results in the treatment of TB, Diabetes, Weak Eye
Sight Neurological disorders, Drug addiction
• Effective results in treatment of Respiratory, Mental & Psychosomatic
disorders

There were, however, two families ---Shri. Sohan
Lal S Khushwaha and Shri. M.L. Rathore, which lived in
the worst affected area, one mile away from the plant
came out unscathed as they were regularly performing
Agnihotra (Havan). In these families, none died. Nobody
was even hospitalized despite of being present in the
area worst hit by the toxic gas.
This observation proves that Agnihotra is a powerful
antidote to pollution.

80. Drinking Water Quality
Is Bottled Water the Answer?
• Some bottled water is not as pure as tap
water and costs much more.
– 1.4 million metric tons of plastic bottles are
thrown away.
– Fossil fuels are used to make plastic bottles.
• The oil used to produce plastic bottles in the U.S. each
year would fuel 100,000 cars.

81. What Can You Do?
Water Pollution
• Fertilize garden and yard plants with manure or compost
instead of commercial inorganic fertilizer.
• Minimize your use of pesticides.
• Do not apply fertilizer or pesticides near a body of water.
• Grow or buy organic foods.
• Do not drink bottled water unless tests show that your tap water
is contaminated. Merely refill and reuse plastic bottles with tap
water.
• Compost your food wastes.
• Do not use water fresheners in toilets.
• Do not flush unwanted medicines down the toilet.
• Do not pour pesticides, paints, solvents, oil, antifreeze, or other
products containing harmful chemicals down the drain or onto
the ground.

82. Environmentally Sound Technologies
in the Urban Water Cycle
storage &
augmentation
reuse,recycle supply &
& disposal distribution
use & saving

83. Ponds and reservoirs
Dams and reservoirs are a common approach to
storage of river water. Big dams, however, do often
cause big unsolved problems and therefore cannot be
called environmentally sound. Small dams with
careful consideration of ecological and social impacts
can do better. In permanent rivers, under water
beams are an option. In ‘wadis’ sand dams are a
sound technology for the infiltration of river water to
the groundwater.

84. Artificial recharge of ground water
Artificial recharge is appropriate for the augmentation of groundwater
in aquifers. It may supplement the natural percolation. In seasonal
climates Aquifer Storage and Recovery practices both the storage and
the quality control that is essential to
maintain the quality of
groundwater resources. Recharging
can take place from the surface
or directly into sub surface
layers.

85. Rainwater harvesting ESTs
Rainwater runoff from
roofs is stored in tanks to
be used inside buildings.
Stormwater from streets and parks can be
infiltrated or stored in ponds to provide water
for trees, gardens and parks. Sand filters and
constructed wetlands can be used for quality
control.

86. Storage of treated sewage
Effluent from sewage treatment plants can be reused in surface
waters as a source for urban water supply. Quality control is crucial.
The use of effluent for recharging groundwater
is possible. Soil Aquifer Treatment technology
prevents pollution by pathogens, nutrients and
other contaminants.

4. Transfer of water
5. Single pipeline systems (one quality)
6. Dual pipeline systems (two qualities)
7. Water containers (bottles, tanks)
8. Centralised treatment systems
9. Point of use treatment systems

88. Water pipe systems
Water supply networks are advanced systems that
require advanced maintenance regimes. Leakage, due to
poor maintenance is a major problem. Often more than
50% of the piped water is lost. Capacity building and fund
availability for maintenance are the first priorities.
Lowering night time pressure and a system of
metering and billing water use above a basic level
may be helpful but are not a final solution.

89. Dual ofqualitynetwork supply, is the use of drinking water
A problem central piped

quality for non drinking purposes. In dual networks service water quality
has it’s own network. Wrong connections can be avoided by different
colours for different pipes. Dual systems at the building level only, avoid
city networks.
Buildings should have a reliable
technical department for
maintenance and quality
control. Rainwater or treated
greywater can be used as
service water. Sizable tanks can cope with fluctuations in
demand and supply.

90. Wells, tanks and bottles
At the neighborhood level, improving the quality and
increasing the number of traditional wells can be a good
environmentally sound technology.
In a situation of centrally collected drinking water from rivers
or groundwater (boreholes), good quality water can be
delivered by trucks to static tanks,
from where people
can take water home in
bottles or small containers.

91. Drinking water quality
Health requires good quality drinking water. Centralized
treatment systems can be improved and extended.
If drinking water of reliable
quality is not available,
proper treatment at the user
level is an option.

92. Use and saving ESTs
1. Waterless toilets (compost- and dry-)
2. Water saving toilets
3. Water saving urinals
4. Waterless urinals
5. Water saving taps
6. Water saving showerheads
7. Pressure reducers
8. Water saving household appliances
9. Economised water use: personal hygiene
10. Economised water use: cleaning & watering

93. Waterless toilets
Waterless toilets need neither water nor sewers. They work on the
basis of dehydration and composting. The resulting compost can be
applied to the fields in urban agriculture. The right degree of humidity
is crucial. They are often combined with urine separation. Vertical
ventilation pipes guarantee odour free
operation. Compost toilets require
more space and need more
maintenance. Simple dry
toilets are easier to use and cheaper.
They need to be emptied every week.

94. Water saving in households
Drinking, cleaning, bathing, washing, toilet flushing. Combined water
saving appliances lead to 43% savings in liter per person per day.

95. Water saving in green spaces
Parks and gardens ask a lot of water, especially in dry climates. Savings
may result from replacing piped water by rainwater or treated
wastewater.
The local government and
NGOs can also give a good
example demonstrating
how attractive green spaces can be
created with native species adapted to
dry conditions.

96. Rainwater quality and use
Roof-top rainwater only needs minor treatment to make it safe for
service water. For use as drinking water, filtration and disinfection is
required. There should be no debris in the tanks and no light.
Quality control is a must.

97. Rainwater quality and use
Run-off rainwater from streets and open spaces can be treated in
wetland systems. Separating rainwater from the sewers greatly
improves the city treatment plant’s performance.

98. Grey & black water treatment
Household based decentralised ESTs deserve more attention. They
create conditions for reuse at the domestic level and save costs for
sewage systems.

99. Grey & black water treatment
Example for on-site sewage
treatment
Small scale aerobic (>compost) or anaerobic technology (>methane +
slurry) are feasible. These innovative ESTs require careful and skilful
guidance. For example joint projects of users with researchers and
practitioners in a learning by doing context.

100. Constructed wetlands
Stabilisation ponds and constructed wetlands are a low-cost alternative for the
treatment of domestic wastewater. They provide water for irrigation in urban
agriculture and for watering green spaces.
Detention and retention ponds, lined up with reeds and other wetland plants,
perform well in purifying run-off rainwater from quite streets. More polluted
water requires constructed wetlands designed for
horizontal or vertical flow,
filtering, adsorption and uptake of
nutrients. Good design and
maintenance are vital.

101. Advanced primary treatment
Increasingly strict standards, derived from the
situation in developed countries have made it
almost impossible to reuse effluent and sewage
sludge in peri-urban agriculture. In developing
countries effluent (from domestic wastewater
treatment) usually contains less heavy metals and
other toxic substances and more pathogens.
Advanced Primary Treatment (APT) is a new technology that combines primary (mechanical)
treatment with filtration and disinfection. This opens healthy and water efficient perspectives.

102. Water Pollution Control in ancient era

103. Ancient civilizations
went to great lengths to produce
clear, purified water.
• The practice of water purification has a long history
involving many cultures and civilizations. The importance
of purified water is noted in ancient scriptures and
centuries-old paintings.
• Although modern technology has advanced the processing
of water that's fit to drink, many of the methods used by
ancient civilizations, such as heating and filtration, are still
used today.

104. Alum in Water
Ancient Sanskrit writings, known as "Sus'ruta Samhita,"
which date back to approximately 2000 B.C., reveal a
traditional recipe using alum that was used to purify water.
In the recipe, a lump of earth (alum) was mixed with local
Indian herbs, with names such as nirmali, phana, mustaka,
ela, ushira and chandana, and baked well in a fire. The
resulting material was then dropped into water to purify it.

105. Copper Vessels and Charcoal
In 1905, Francis Evelyn Place, who studied Sanskrit
medical lore, noted a water purification method
found in “Sushruta Samhita," -- a text dating to
about 2000 B.C. According to the text, water was
purified by putting it into copper vessels, exposing it
to sunlight and then filtering it using charcoal.

106. Clarifying Devices
Water treatment devices, including one seen in a painting
dating back to the 15th century B.C., have been found in
ancient Egyptian artwork. This particular clarifying device was
depicted as being in the tomb of Amenophis II at Thebes. The
device worked by allowing water impurities to settle at the
bottom of the device, with clarified fluid at the top siphoned
off and stored for later use

107. Hippocrates' Sleeve
Hippocrates, well known as the Father of Medicine,
conducted experiments on water purification in ancient
Greece. A filter, later known as the "Hippocrates Sleeve,"
was used to purify water after it was boiled. According to
Hippocrates, the cloth trapped any sediment in the water
that caused a bad taste or smell.

108. Ayurveda - purification of drinking water
1. Filtration through thick cloth.
2. Boiling: This is described as there stages:
a. If the water is hard for digestion it should be boiled and reduced to half of
original quantity.
b. If moderately hard for digestion it should be boiled and reduced to two-thirds of
original quantity.
c. If slightly hard for digestion it should be boiled and reduced to three-fourths of
original quantity.
Water boiled in the above standards will become easy for digestion and good for
health.
3. Making it clear with the addition of some herbs: The addition of tubers of lotus
plant, pearls, seeds of kataka (Strychnos potatorum), gomedhaka (Dolomite stone)
4. Removing its unpleasant odour by adding into it some fragrant flowers like
patala (Steriospermum colais), karavira (Nerium indicum),etc.

123. Chanting of
• OM or AUM is the most important and significant word of
Mantra tradition. It is considered as the root mantra of all
mantra. In a majority of Mantra, you will find OM.
• OM is the most often chanted sound among all the sacred
sounds on earth. This sound is considered as the sound of the
existence.
• it is believed that the whole universe, in its fundamental
form, is made up of vibrating, pulsating energy. Om is
considered as the humming sound of this cosmic energy.

124. Chanting of
• OM is said to be the original primordial creative sound from
which the entire universe have manifested. It is also known as
the 'Anahat Nada', the "Unstruck Sound". This means the
sound that is not made by two things striking together.
• If you observe the nature of sound you'll find that all ordinary
audible sound are produced by the striking of two objects :
bow and strings, drum and stick, two vocal cords, waves
against the shore, winds against the leaves, bat against the
ball, tyers against the road etc. In short all sounds within our
range of listening are produces by things visible or invisible,
striking each other or vibrating together, resulting in pulsating
waves of air molecules which we interprets as sound.

125. Chanting
of Aarati

126. Chanting of Aarati
•Today in this scientific age one might ridicule lighting of
lamps as one can have the wonderful benefits of electricity.
We must remember that our ancestors have attributed great
importance to this after in-depth study. They also did it with
the spiritual emotion of gratitude. Let us now compare
electrical and ghee lamps.
•The ghee lamp symbolizes the spiritual emotion, ‘I will be
(spiritually) enlightened and (spiritually) enlighten others as
well’. The ghee lamp burns to spread light. One can pray for
kindling the light (spiritual yearning) within us and for the
ability to spread the light (Spirituality) to others.

127. Chanting of Aarati
A small plate (Tabak):
It represents the five-vital airs (panchpran) of our body. One
should have such spiritual emotion when performing aarti
that ‘I am waving around aarti for God with my five vital
airs.’
A metal lamp-dish (Niranjan):
The flame of ghee’s niranjan represents our ‘Atmajyot’
(internal light). The spiritual emotion one should have is
‘with my five vital airs this atmajyot is alive, and with such
flame I am waving around God.’ The five niches (mouths) in
a niranjan indicate the relationship between five vital airs
and atmajyot. Panchaarti is the one done with five vital airs.
Cotton wicks (Vaat/baati):
Cotton represents detachment. Such a wick is to connect the
five vital airs (pranvayu) with the inner light (atmajyot).

128. Chanting of Aarati

129. Chanting of Aarati
The image above is a depiction of the science behind this ritual performed
with five lamps (five wicks in niranjan). When the ‘tabak’ is waved around in a
circular motion, the pure (sattvik) frequencies emitted from the flame of
niranjan spread out in a circular fashion. Hence, these sattvik frequencies
gradually convert to raja frequencies. These frequencies are like a ripple
effect in water. A subtle armor is created, which is known as ‘ripple armor’,
around the one who sings the aarti. The duration of this ripple armor is
proportionate to the spiritual emotion one has while singing the aarti (the
more is one’s spiritual emotion, the longer it stays). Hence, due to increase in
inner purity, one can absorb more divine frequencies in the Universe. As one’s
spiritual emotion increases, one will begin to see the reflection of the center
point (atmabindu) and will feel that the raja frequencies actually originate
from this center point.
