“More than the swine flu, it is the fear of the flu that worries people.”
“真正困扰人们的不是猪流感,而是对猪流感的恐惧。”
Guruji Yogacharya B K S Iyengar was born during the 1918 influenza pandemic and even his mother was not spared the infection during her pregnancy. This had led to a very sickly childhood for our Guruji. It was this ill-health that introduced him to yoga with which he has given health to millions across the world.
我们的古鲁吉,瑜伽大师 B.K.S.艾扬格出生时正值1918年全球性流感大爆发,即使是他那有孕在身的母亲也未能幸免。这导致我们的古鲁吉捱过了一个体弱多病的童年。正是这种健康欠佳,促使他接触瑜伽,并最终用瑜伽为全世界数百万人带去健康。
1918年全球性流感
91 years later, the pandemic struck again. Earlier it was the Spanish flu while this time it was the swine flu. More than the flu, it was the fear of contracting the flu that worried people.
91年后,流感再次爆发。不同于之前的西班牙流感,这次是猪流感。困扰人们的,不是流感本身,而是对感染流感的恐惧。
Those who travelled to another land feared of contracting it while the locals feared that the visitors may have brought the virus with them! Government authorities attempted to control the spread of the virus by closing down schools and Institutions. RIMYI was also not spared and was asked to shut down for a week although none of the students were affected.
旅行者害怕在外地被感染,当地人则害怕外来者携带病毒!当局政府试图通过关闭学校和机构来控制病毒的传播。拉玛玛妮艾扬格纪念瑜伽学院(RIMYI,以下简称普那总院)也未能幸免。尽管没有一名学生被感染,学院依然被责令关闭了一个星期。
流感期间的印度学生
Pune was the epicenter of the epidemic in India and with so many visitors from foreign lands at RIMYI – the risk appeared to be high. But, the officials did not realize that RIMYI had some very potent mode of prevention of swine flu-the experience and wisdom of Guruji.
那时,普那是印度的流感集中点,而普那总院拥有众多来自世界各国的到访者,风险显然很高。然而,政府官员们并没有注意到普那总院已经掌握了某些行之有效的预防猪流感的方法,而这些全来自古鲁吉的经验与智慧。
Yes. We can curtail the spread of any infection by getting into isolation. But, is that a real, practical solution? Why is it that not all people exposed to an infected person acquire the disease? If a H1N1 (the virus responsible for the current pandemic) infected person were to sneeze, he/she does indeed release tons of the virus and all the people who breathe that air should get infected.
诚然,我们可以通过隔离来阻断任何传染病的扩散。可那算是真实而有效的解决方法吗?为什么一群接触过同一位感染者的人不会全部得病?假设 H1N1(此次传染病的源头病毒)的感染者打个了喷嚏,他/她必定会释放出成千上万颗病毒,而所有呼吸了相同空气的人都将被感染。
But, that does not happen. Only a few contract the disease. Most people who get infected manage to recover without medication. It is only some who develop complications. It is all about immunity! Build a strong immune system and you reduce your risks to becoming susceptible to infections. But, how does one do that?
事实却证明这并不成立。发病的人只占少数。多数感染者在不接受治疗的情形下让自己恢复健康。只有少部分人出现了并发症。这一切都与免疫力息息相关!培养强大的免疫系统,你就能降低被感染的风险。但具体该怎样操作呢?

“Modern science is aware of mechanisms of building muscles & cardiovascular systems but what about the immune system?”
“现代科学看重肌肉和心血管系统运行机制的建立,可免疫系统呢?”
Modern science is aware of mechanisms of building muscles and cardiovascular system through exercise but what about the immune system? There are some thoughts that vitamins help, a healthy diet and a hygienic lifestyle helps but there does not seem anything specific at the moment that can help build immune system.
现代科学提出通过锻炼来建立肌肉和心血管系统的运行机制,可是免疫系统呢?有一些观点认为补充维生素、健康饮食和卫生的生活习惯会有帮助,但当前并无任何确切的有助于培养免疫系统的因素出现。
健康饮食与良好作息
During the spread of the Novel coronavirus pneumonia,Gloria sent us a series of asanas to improve the immunity, hoping to help everyone improve their own resistance. This is also the yoga practice sequence developed by B.K.S Iyengar during the Indian flu years.
正直新冠肺炎蔓延期间,Gloria 老师给我院发来的提高免疫力的序列体式,希望能帮助到大家提高自身抵抗力。这也正是艾扬格大师在印度流感年间研发的瑜伽习练序列。
Gloria 老师提供的序列体式图
Guruji provided us with a specific sequence of āsana-s that help build the immune system. This was posted on the RIMYI notice board during the swine flu pandemic. This can help us not only avert the flu virus but also many more bacteria and viruses especially when they are lurking in the air and water!
古鲁吉为我们提供了一套特别的体式序列,有助于免疫系统的构建。在猪流感盛行期间,这套体式被张贴在了普那总院的告示牌上。它不仅有助我们避开流感病毒,还能消除更加多元的细菌和病毒,尤其是当它们隐藏在空气和水里的时候!
