Our body as a sacred offering
 

Dear Reader,  

2022 started on a fulminating note with the new Omicron variant spreading like a bush fire across continents and the count rising astronomically with each passing day. Although the casualties have been negligible as compared to last year, and the infection too is not as virulent as before, in a way, Omicron is a good reminder to not get casual or laidback about the pandemic as we move through 2022. If we stay on our paths with focus and resoluteness, while taking all precautions, 2022 will reward us abundantly.

The lead story for February is on the noble act of organ donation. To be honest, I had many reservations about carrying this article as I did not feel that the success rate of such transplants was high and also that there were legal complications involved in it.

However, on reading this article by Jamuna Rangachari, I had a change of heart and mind. There are a lot of people whose lives can be saved or resurrected if only there were enough people willing to donate their organs after death. I have pledged to donate my eyes, and I urge all of you to consider the idea of signing up for organ donation. It is a great way to leave a legacy behind and continue to exist in another form as someone else’s eyes or heartbeat.

We have another fascinating article on honey. Though the health benefits of honey are numerous, very few of us know how to distinguish between adulterated and authentic honey. The article carries a few eye-opening facts about honey, empowering you to make the right choices.

The Sun has moved northwards towards the Tropic of Cancer, unleashing a change of season as well as a new set of energies for human beings to replenish themselves with. Let’s make the most of this and infuse our lives with vigour, positivity, and vitality.

Have a happy February!
