PANAJI: Last week, Mahesh Degvekar, a 55-year-old school teacher had a vision. Gajanan Maharaj, a 19th century Hindu guru from neighbouring Maharashtra appeared in it, and shared an ayurvedic formula which ‘cures’ COVID-19.
On Friday afternoon, Degvekar’s story took a serious turn, or a bizarre one, whichever way one looks at it. That afternoon he shared the details of the purported medicinal cure for COVID-19 with Union Minister of State for AYUSH Shripad Naik, who had visited the teacher at the latter’s residence specifically to hear out Degvekar’s coronavirus cure received by via apparition.
Naik now says, that the formula would be sent for scientific validation with the central ministry.
“He (Degvekar) has already given it to me. Preventive formulas are the best. (IANS)
