>A TRADITIONAL LIFESTYLE IS THE BEST PREVENTION FOR AIDS

>

>

>- His Holiness Shree Shree Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji

>

>

>Nairobi, Kenya, Africa - " AIDS has added a special edge to the problems of

>human beings on the planet and needs immediate aid from all corners. It is

>imperative that as much attention or even more is devoted to prevention of

>it, than it is to cure. At a deeper level the AIDS problem seems to be a

>by- product of the excesses of modern materialism, bereft of spiritualism.

>One has to pause and seriously reexamine the direction of progress in the

>world’s present situation. When people draw their life plan they should not

>be short-sighted and think of only immediate fixes, but they should aim for

>long term happiness and contentment. The popular media, T.V, magazines, and

>Internet contribute their share in a big way to the spread of AIDS by

>glorifying illicit sex and attract a vulnerable portion of the population

>for commercial reasons.

>

>

>It is very sad to note that even governments, although aware of all these

>factors, keep a blind eye on these media abuses, to keep their economy

>strong. Ironically at the same time these governments are claiming that

>they are very much worried about this epidemic. Substance abuse,

>contaminated needles, unsanitary conditions, and pollution all add to the

>problem. AIDS may be viewed as the natural reaction to the irresponsibility

>of human beings. One might summate and say that AIDS is nothing but the

>result of unbridled, unabated modern materialism and relegation of

>spirituality. The real challenge is not just finding novel methods of AIDS

>treatment, but in finding the root cause of the disease. Going back to

>catch the spirit of an ancient life-style, especially an ancient Indian

>typical life-style may be the ultimate solution for serious problems such

>as AIDS.”

>His Holiness Shree Shree Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji of Jagadguru Shree

>Madwaachaarya Moola Mahaa Samsthaanam Shree Puthige Math Udupi, India and

>International President for World Conference of Religion for Peace (WCRP)

>said after the meeting of world religious leaders on the issue of AIDS

>here:

>

>“After visualizing the depth of the AIDS problem in Africa, the Swamiji

>said the problem has created millions of homeless children and also created

>economic imbalance. In a relatively short amount of time the AIDS problem

>has grown tremendously. Action must be taken now, before the problem grows

>totally out of control.

>

>In that view the WCRP, which is serving the globe in many fields like

>conflict resolution, human right and ecological preservation, has taken a

>big project and activated its local and national chapters, in the continent

>of Africa, together with the economic help of the Bill & Melinda Gates

>Foundation as well as other charitable organizations.”

>

>“Religion is a force for peace, not for making pieces.” Responding with

>sorrow and anger to the recent terrorist attacks, the leaders of the great

>religions of the world urged people of all faiths to strive for tolerance

>and understanding. The summit also expressed a great concern about the

>conflict between India-Pakistan and between Israel and Palestine. We have

>decided to keep “a close watch on the situation.” remarked His Holiness.
