Abstract

COVID-19 has come as a sharp caution to humankind to introspect and rectify. With values on the decline and humans seeming to have lost empathy, one feels a need to recharge and reconnect. The Indian way of living has many scientific principles natural in it to fight infectious diseases. We follow the Sanatan Sanskriti thoughts traditionally, sometimes not even grasping the rationale behind it. This article tries to explore the correlation between the preventive measures and some of our traditional Sanatan practices. There is a need to promote our cultural practices and avoid running behind the ultra-modern ways of living so that the world learns to combat and live with the COVID 19.
