Yoga has also come up as the most effective tool to suppress the depression arising out of the crisis. Be spiritual, be positive, be self-confident, adopt a natural lifestyle and read the holy Gita as it will give you the strength to combat the adversity. And more significantly, respect the corona warriors — the frontline healthcare workers and the police. I also salute them for their relentless service to mankind.
