Integrating IoT with Vedic Technology to Purify Atmosphere

ABSTRACT

Agnihotra/Homa therapy is a gift to humanity from the ancient Vedic technology of bioenergy, climate science, medicine, and agriculture. It is an urgent need to purify the atmosphere and strengthen the immune system through Vedic Science techniques. Covid-19 has become a major threat globally. Agnihotra can be a useful tool to combat coronavirus. Agnihotra process purifies the atmosphere through fire prepared in a copper pyramid tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise and sunset. Technology is now part of our lives and the Internet of Things takes a significant share in making it possible. So IoT and Agnihotra fire technology is applicable for the improvement of all aspects of the environment and thereby having a very positive impact on the thrive of living organisms. IoT-based sensors will become the weapon in measuring the presence of bacteria, microbes, viruses in the surrounding area. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor environments and offers monitoring at a lower cost than conventional methods, in theory making the process of monitoring possible in many more locations. We also proposed an IoT based model where data will be gathered from various sensors before and after Yajna. It is then transmitted and stored on a cloud sub-system, where it is maintained, managed, and backed up. Further automation of analytical model building is done through the process of machine learning and data visualizations, thus enabling users to enhance their immune system by using technology and Vedic knowledge of Agnihotra. © 2021 IEEE.
