Thousand to throng Pearl City for 'Fish Medicine'

Hyderabad,Jun 6: Thousand of people are expected to throng the Pearl City on the auspicious day of 'Mrigsira Karthi' on June 8 to partake fish medicine touted as a cure for asthma.The Bathina Brothers -- who have become a household name for administering 'fish medicine'-- were busy making the arrangements.Brothers Vishwanath Goud, Harinath Goud and Uma Maheshwar Goud belong to the current generation of the clan which had been administering the medicine for 156 years based on the 'the wisdom of the sages of ancient India.' Bathina Harinath Goud recalled in 1845, a holy man happened to meet his great-grand father Veeranna Goud and gave him the secret formula, blessed the well and the place of administration of medicine. He also instructed him to distribute this medicine free-of-cost to the patients.The 'secret formula' had been passed on through the generations of the Goud family.The brothers administer the medicine on ''Mrigasira Karti'' which normally falls on June 8. Referring to the controversies and apprehensions raised by the 'Jana Vijnana Vedika', Mr Goud emphatically claimed there were no side effects. Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh Government had made elaborate arrangements for the smooth conduct of the event.
