Dr. Pandav said life is a triangle. Unless and until the three vertices of the triangle which is knowledge, social consciousness and voice and statesmanship do not come together there will be disharmony. While formal education from prestigious institutions play an important role in shaping us as a person, lessons learnt from life and from experiences and from our gurus is of paramount importance to give it depth and balance. All answers lie in our culture, religion, mythologies and spiritual endowment. The Rig Veda in particular has solutions to many problems even to COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed the concept of Swarajya and Gram Swarajya now need to be practiced with vigor feels Dr. Pandav.

According to Dr. Pandav, the COVID-19 pandemic should not be looked upon as a burden but with positivism. The time has come when the focus should change from good health to holistic health which means emotional, spiritual, social, mental, psychological wellbeing. A lot of hidden treasure lies in our ancient wisdom, practices and in Ayurveda said Dr. Pandav. The new norm is to fold hands and greet on one hand to stop the spreading of the virus and traditionally to activate the nerves and energy of the body in the form of an asana and further to greet the soul residing in another being with respect. This also the time to learn new skills and be more productive. It has given us the opportunity to spend more quality time with our parents, family members and to emphasize on compassion, empathy and reaching out to those in need. God has given us two hands- the left for doing for ourselves (protect ourselves from the disease) and the right is stronger to do for others (protect others and make their lives better) said Dr. Pandav.

Dr. Pandav feels that the pandemic has been overrated and exaggerated. Viruses were there and as long as life is on earth bacteria and virus will continue to be there. What also needs to be redefined is the concept of social distancing said Dr. Pandav. He was confidence that life and business will be normal soon.
