Respected judges, professors and friends, Are all these a symbol of a rising and shining India? Yes, but much more, they a sign of the changing times, an increasingly body and health conscious people of a fast developing country India.
1. Friends you must be aware that with a happy rising GDP and a satisfying soaring sensex there is also a distressing increase in suicides, hyper tension, diabetes, depression and heart ailments. In fact it has been predicted that India will be the diabetes capital of the world. And who or what is to be blamed for this state of affairs? Not just the nature of the fast- paced modern life but also the wrong health habits of the people.
2. Life on the fast track has its own advantages and pitfalls. Today‘s youth is focused and in a hurry to achieve success. One may get a good job, income, lifestyle and all the trappings of success, but at what cost? They have little time to savour the little pleasures of life, The result is long working hours, lack of sleep, stress and hyper tension. Surely life is not all about financial security and professional success alone? One needs good health to enjoy the fruits of success.
3. It is not uncommon or strange that practically everyday newspapers and other media are advocating the importance of exercise and right diet. Exercise is to the body what active usage is to any machine. Take the example of any car or a sewing machine that is not put to use for a couple of months. It is but natural that after a couple of months of disuse the car‘s battery would have discharged, the machinery rusted or clogged. But a running machine would be in excellent form giving peak performance with an occasional servicing.
4 Similarly the mind too gets sharper and more effective with mental exercise and training as well as right thinking. So too the spirit and soul of man would be more receptive to awareness and acceptance of divine grace when kept in good shape with the spiritual exercise of prayer, meditation and fasting.
5. The benefits of exercise are manifold. An exercised body is ready for peak performance because it is energetic. A person has greater stamina. It increases heart rate and blood supply to all the parts of the body. Exercise releases endorphins which impart to the body a heightened awareness and a sense of well being as well as alertness. It engenders the value of self-discipline and hard work. It makes one focused and sure and determined. The sense of well being makes a person cheerful and enthusiastic. These qualities are key drivers in a person‘s attitude to work and relationships. Such an individual would also be positive, easy to get along with and an active contributor to society.
6. Having said that we need to consider the different ways of bodily exercise. The modern world offers a rich variety of ways. There are of course the modern gyms which have become so popular. There are the older variations of the humble home grown gyms, the vyayamshalas and the akharas. The pole climbing and wrestling and boxing as much as the karate and the judo are other forms of both exercise, sport and body fitness combined. There is our very own Yoga, now an internationally renowned form of both mental and physical fitness. But what about the cheapest and commonest form of fitness and exercise that any one can use? Why it is the the simplest walking and jogging or running. No need of spending hefty amounts in fashionable gyms or training schools. Any one can walk or gradually progress to run a small stretch of the road. This explains the popularity of the public parks with running tracks and tracks for walking. They are the popular Nana Nani parks and friends if you notice there are people of all ages and sizes and shapes, not just grand parents and oldies. Even if the parks are named for them! This also explains the popularity of the old adage: After supper rest a while, after dinner walk a mile. Of course one doesn‘t advocate running after dinner. Also observe how the doctors are all always advising people to walk everyday for at least half an hour daily. A brisk walk or a slow run are what can do wonders, and all at no cost!
7. The Marathons are yet another feature that explain the popularity of running. Watch how young and old have all enthusiastically taken to it and not just in India but all over the world. They have also helped focus attention on a cause and helped multinational and national companies contribute their b it by demonstrating corporate responsibility. And so in conclusion friends I can only stress the importance of running to make your life longer, healthier and happier by saying: Keep away strife, Take your wife and Run for your Life.
