“To keep the body in good health is a duty. Otherwise, we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear”, Lord Gautam Buddha.
Current Context
Post COVID-19 outbreak, our lives have completely changed. Today we live in what is famously known as the ‘New Normal’.
What Lord Gautam Buddha said centuries ago would not be relevant in any era, if it is not this one.
Mental health is a reflection of how strong and clear one is, in his or her mind. Moving indoors, we are constantly jostling with our own fears about this volatile time leading to anxiety and stress.
