Deh Dan-Taking Inspiration from Dadhichi Rishi

Posted: Nov 08, 2017
Organ donation has always been the controversial subject for those who are orthodox in their religious beliefs. Since Body donation for anatomy is lately getting popularity as a noble charity for helping in medical research and development, some people argue that the dead deserve last rites and proper cremation, and mutilating body is not permissible by Hinduism. Nevertheless, there are many indications in Hindu mythology to suggest that the body is just an entity we acquire in this world and our souls are the only travellers to the heavens or come back to earth via rebirth, which indicates that the body we now have no purpose after death, making it quite convenient for people to give it up for donation. and body donation is a noble act which has the potential to save at least 9 lives, directly, and if donated for research, then probably millions, indirectly.
Dadhichi’s Deh Dan story is known to all, who was requested to give up his bones to make vajra-Astra for fighting and defeating the Rakshasa army. If we take it as a metaphorical account, then it’s too clear that the demons were the diseases which couldn’t be conquered by anything else, but body donation. Dadhichi Rishi gave up his life for the service of mankind, but the prospective donors don’t need to give up their lives, they can pledge their organs, and after they have lived their full lives, and it is time to go, they can donate their organs for the greater good. There are so many people who suffer from irreversible organ failures and lose all hope for life.
When a disease sets in that leaves no other option, but to undergo transplantation, it becomes very difficult for the patient and the family to cope. So, it becomes necessary to take a serious note, not only by the patients’ families but also by the whole country, to offer more and more organs for donation so that the lives can be saved. For this purpose, the government has set whole guidelines to be followed by the medical institutions and hospitals with respect to the organ transplantation. Organ India creates awareness about organ donation and transplantation to help needy patients on time.
Organ India does not only encourages the organ donation but also provides a comprehensive organ transplant guide that contains the information of the hospitals that have expertise in organ transplantation and qualified, skilled and experienced doctors for the same. This guide is an easy and quick way to get the necessary information in one go.
