JAIPUR A documentary film on 28 Covid patients recovering through a meditation technique shall soon be featured in the July New York Lift-Off Film Festival. "Its schedule will be announced soon," Naman Goyal, who made the documentary, told IANS.

The 78-minute documentary film, "The Magical Guru and His Secret Mantra (Revealed)," will have its global premiere in the festival, he added. Goyal had shared this meditation method since the second week of February with Wuhan authorities in China, Daegu, South Korea; Milan, Italy; and now New York City (via Facebook) with a view to help patients recover quickly from Covid-19.

"I was studying about the healing powers and immunity building strength of this meditation, and hence went out of the way to contact coronavirus patients and suggested them the techniques, he said.

The film follows two more video interviews of coronavirus patients he released on his social media profile. The families of these patients have benefited by this meditation technique, he said, adding that what really stands out is the fact that the average number of days where coronavirus patients recover through this meditation is seven days, as opposed to the three weeks on medicine.

Goyal has also been in correspondence with the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. The authorities have cleared the initial review of this meditation and asked Goyal to submit a second round of documentation, as a proposal for a systematic study involving Covid-19 patients.

"Earlier in May, two patients had reported that a meditation technique was helpful in a quicker recovery from COVID-19. Thereafter, many more patients were given this meditation technique and eventually the number of patients recovered and discharged from the hospital with the help of this meditation rose to 28.

"I simply spoke to these patients on the phone and sent them the meditation video on WhatsApp," Goyal said.

"The first few cases were the toughest to reach out to. But once the patients started speaking of positive effects of the therapy, it became relatively easy," Goyal said.

The meditation technique is freely available online and was given to the world by Guru Ram Lal Siyag (1926-2017). Guru Siyag used to explain the reason for the increase in immunity in his public speeches, Goyal explained.

In one of his speeches, the filmmaker said, the guru said: "As one starts the meditation, the sattva Guna (tendency) rises in the body and suppresses the other two gunas (tendencies) the Rajas and the Tamas. At one point, only one guna (tendency) can remain active in the body. As the Sattva becomes an active and dominant guna (tendency), all sorts of Tamas are driven out.

"The tamas is responsible for creating an environment in the body where any infection (coronavirus) can thrive. Hence the sattva overcomes any infection in the body."

The patients who got well are (as submitted to the Science and Technology Department of the Government) mentioned in the documentary film.
