Abstract

The world is still suffering from the outbreak of the pandemic disease called Covid-19 and it is difficult for the humanity to escape from this hard times. The history of pandemic diseases can be traced back to ancient societies. Different societies around the world have been affected by epidemics at different times. In today’s world modern life style and capitalist system of development have their impact upon the pandemic diseases. Modern medical system has so far neither developed any medicine that prevents Covid-19 nor cure the health problems that it creates. It is in this context that Gandhian ideas on health, body and mind become relevant. Gandhian ideas on health focus much on preventing a disease than curing it.
