Despite the development and implementation of vaccinations, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has persisted for more than two years due to emerging novel variants. The new Omicron lineages are being intensively monitored by WHO. Scientists from all over the world have reported the recombinant variants, but their existence remains a point of contention. Currently, XE and BA.2 are the most common variants. Deltracron (a recombinant of Delta and Omicron) has been discovered in several investigations, although some experts believe the sequences that confirm its emergence are the product of contamination. This study looked at emerging variants including XD, XE, and XF, as well as various omicron lineages (BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, and BA.5). Bioactive lipids including arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid have been highlighted as possible COVID-19 therapeutics. On the other hand, herbal remedies are supposed to be the key player in minimizing the fatality rates in India. Coronil, a herbal formulation was found to be the evidence-based medicine against SARS-CoV-2. The activity of the Coronil is attributed to its diverse bioactive composition which includes cordifolioside A, rosmarinic acid, magnoflorine, withaferin A, ursolic acid, withanone, palmatine, betulinic acid, withanoside IV, and withanoside V. The interaction of bioactive lipids, Coronil and SARS-CoV-2 emerging variants might be beneficial in the management of pandemic until the herd immunity is achieved.

Ayurveda is an ancient traditional medicinal system that has gained widespread acceptance, however, its ancient wisdom still needs in-depth investigation. Acharya Balkrishna is a prominent scholar and expert in Ayurveda, Sanskrit, yoga, and the Vedas. His efforts led to the acceptance of Ayurveda and yoga practices by millions of people worldwide. His team is presently working on the World Herbal Encyclopedia, a massive compendium that includes descriptions of 50,000 medicinal plants from around the globe and is intended to boost the traditional medicine system. His continued attempts to save traditional knowledge from extinction have resulted in the digitization of 60 lakh pages of ancient manuscripts. Together with his intellectual partner Swami Ramdev, a well-known yoga guru, he successfully treated millions of patients with a variety of severe ailments over the last two decades to achieve a better universal health. In the service of humanity, both laid the foundation for the herbal and yoga empire. Acharya Balkrishna’s research team developed various evidence-based ayurvedic medications, including Acidogrit, Bronchom Cardiogrit Gold, Madhugrit, and the most popular Coronil, an anti- COVID-19 herbal remedy. He is the recipient of several prestigious accolades, including the Bharat Gaurav and the UNSDG 10 most influential people in healthcare award. He has done extensive research in several areas such as herbal research, the revival of traditional literature, agriculture, organic farming, information technology, and tribal welfare. He has authored more than 150 books, and 200 research articles, and also filed 41 patents. He is an outstanding visionary with a dynamic personality, multifaceted skills, with a commitment to serve the humanity. This article commemorates about Acharya Balkrishna’s revolutionary life and discusses his brief journey from an innocent child to a renowned Ayurvedacharya.
