Ayurveda for everyone 🙏🌞🪷
Ayurveda is knowledge about all existent lifeforms, how to live healthy, happy, and long not just for one but for All.
‘Loke Sarva: Sukhino Bhavantu’ so is the intention and sentiment of Shanti Mantra from Veda.
Sushrut Samhita mentions, Ayurved is Panchamo Veda:, superiour to Four Veda- Rigveda Yajurveda, Samaveda Atharveda, because the knowledge of Ayurveda not only gives benefits in this life on this earth but also in next life anywhere in this universe.
Whenever we think of Ayurveda for resolving diseases as well as for maintaining health, we have to think about Dosha Dhatu Mala Vijnan.
or Physiological basis of Ayurveda to measure wellness or illness.
Ayurveda is based on mainly 6 or ShadDarshan Shastra, the knowledge with which we see, perceive and cognise this world or Loka.
- Samkhya Darshana
- Vaisheshik Darshana
- Yoga Darshana
- Nyaya Darshana
- Boudha Darshana
- Vedant Darshana
some other are also, a basis, like Raseshwar Darshan, Trik shastra or Kashmiri Shaivism, Jain Darshana.
To understand this knowledge of Ayurveda and proper application of this knowledge to fulfill the purpose of this Life manifeststion, it is most important to understand this theological- philosophical basis of Ayurveda as Shastra.
Modern science is mostly based on Western philosophical basics propounded by Plato Socretas etc, which is not aligned with Eastern philosophical foundations.
this is the major point to understand.
To measure something we have tools like a measuring tape to measure distance , likewise Ayurveda uses these Darshan shastra as Basic tools to measure the level of Health status as well as disease status
we dont mix and match one kind of tool to measure another kind of thing.
this point is most important if we start our journey in understading Tri Dosha 8 Dhatu 3 Mala
as most of modern diagnostic tools or pathological tools never measure the healthy status of physiological Tridosha. Only pathalogical manifestation of Tridosha can be inferred by modern tools.
so to measure Health as well as illhealth, tools of Darshanshastra are much important.
Once this basic foundational difference is understood, anyone can start on a journey of Self healing, with self reaponsibility, self awareness and be wholistically in a zone of wellbeing.
