TEXT 1
India is often the chosen land for those
searching for emotional serenity or a cure for
physical ills. At one farmed Indian health
institute, patients have to tough it out
naturally.
Think of spiritual travel and India is
Synonymous with curative sojourns. From the
ashrams nestled in the valley of the Himalayas
to yoga retreats on the shore of Karnataka, the
subcontinent offers myriad venues of rest and
retreat for the soul and body and for mental
balance.
Think of medical travel and the
subcontinent still bodes well. Home to some of
the best doctors and advance medical
facilities, India now attracts thousands of
patients a year for those unable to meet the
hefty costs of surgery in the developed world.
Think of all above? And only one
place pops into mind. The Jindal Naturecure
Institute (JNI), which spreads across nearly 50
hectars of lawn, lakes and parks on the
outskirts of India’s garden city, Bangalore,
offers two of India most curative tools;
naturopathy and yoga. Blending spirituality
and medicine, it proposes a unique treatment
that combines these two ancient sciences with
dietery and other drug-free therapies.
The institute promise complete detox
of the mind, body, and soul. In its ideals,
Jindal Naturopathy is miles away from India’s
other homeophatic remedies or the western
worlds much-loves chiropractic. Much like
yoga, it believes that the body is made up of
five elements – earth, water, fire, air, and sky.
Unhappiness and sickness occur only when
these elements are out of balance.
The way to bring these elements back
into level ground is by flushing out every
negative toxin in your body and bones – not
through medicine, but through yogic kriyas
and dietery changes. Jindal offers treatments
for disease from asthma to depression, migrain
to arthritis and many more – without the use of
a single pill or needle. Personal testimonials
accompany each cure.
“Health is not something that can be
purchased in a bottle,” says Chakrasasmitha of
cleansing and healing effect of nature. If you
suppress the conditions by drugs or by any
other means, you are simply laying a
foundation for chronic disease. Drugging is
like whipping an already exhausted horse.”
The basic belief is that our bodies are our best
healers.
White the institute offers some of the
best massage and spa treatments in the region,
the Jindayway is no stroll in the park. The
institute makes for a pretty setting with
benches to view the sunset over a pristine lake
and lots of greenery infused with rare species
of migratory birds. But in reality, it is less spa
town and more boot camp.
The whole purpose at JNI is
therapeutic healing. While applying for
admission and are warmed of rigidness of the
program. Patients are not allowed out of the
institute except for supervised town visits on
Sundays. That being said, the staff at JNI are
amiable and they are very well informed about
the adjusment period needed for patients not
used to confinement.

TEXT 2
US pop and soul music legend Stevie
Wonder told diplomatis from nearly 200
nations on Monday to stop squabbling over
copyright and agree on a pact bringing “hope
and light” to blond people around the globe.
And the singer-musician, himself
sightless since just after birth, warned
negotiators at the United Nations intellectual
property and copyright agency WIPO that he
would write a sad song about them if they
didn’t act on his appeal.
“We must declare a state of emergency
and end the information deprivation that
continues to keep the visually impaired in the
dark”, said Wonder, whoose music has won
dozens of top awards in his 50-year career.
He told delegates on the opening day
of WIPO’s annual asembly that they should
agree on an action plan that would empower
the blind and near-blind by side-stepping
copy-right rules and giving them access to
books and learning.
And the star wrapped up his 10-minute
appeal by singing to his own accompaniment
famous line from many of his bes-loved songs
including I Just Called to Say I Love You and
Keep Our Love Alive.
His call was endorsed by the World
Blind Union, which said that in developing
countries less than one percent of published
works were available in formats like Braille or
audio. Even in rich countries, the total was less
than 5 percent.
WIPO member states have for years
been considering a deal that world overcome
cross-border copy-right rules and finance
translation of books into Braile but has run up
against strong differences among member
states.
Some argue for totally free rights of
translation into format acessible to the blind,
white others insists that no loopholes be left
for privacy of texts, music, and technology.
Wonder, a UN Messengger of Peace
who has sold more than 100 million record
since the 1960s, said the delegates should “put
ideological differences aside and come up with
a practical solution”.
While it was critical in loosening laws
to avoid harming authors of great works that
“nourish our hearts, minds, and souls,” he
said, WIPO members must find a deal that
allowed easy import and export of copyright
material for the blind.
We have the greatest mind in world
right here in this room. Please work it out. Or
I’ll have to write a song about what you didn’t
do, “he declared to laughter and applause from
many delegations.

the blind,”
