Once upon a time, the sage SUSRUTA has took birth and he was famous for surgery, at
that time he was a well-known great surgeon in India. He has written a recognized treatise for
AYURVEDA, that treatise SAMHITA is finally famous as a SUSRUT SAMHITA. This
SUSRUT SAMHITA contains the thousand and thousand of the verse and many chapters, but
human anatomy chapter SHARIR STHAN are even now very famous for their own beautiful
description and precise scientific knowledge regarding human anatomy and personality types
of the human beings. Basically the 16-personality type of human being classified in SUSRUT
SAMHITA has inspired me to write down on the subject of BHOOT-VIDYA the ayurvedic
psychotherapeutic sciences.
Ayurveda has been practises from 5000years in India and it has eight branches to cover
all types of healing system and their modalities. It is one of the most ancient health sciences
and has been full of KAYA CHIKITSA the medicine, SHALYA TANTRA the surgery,
SHLAKYA TANTRA the ophthalmology, dentistary & ear, nose & throat section,
BHOOT-VIDYA the psychotherapeutic sciences, KAUMAR BHRITYA the paediatric,
AGADA TANTRA the toxicology, RASAYAN TANTRA the geriatric, and VAJIKARAN
TANTRA the aphodisiac & eugenics (susrut samhita sutra sthan 1:7).
Bhoot-vidya has one of the most important branch in Ayurveda, but unfortunately it has
been ignored from a long ago. Now it is most demanding branch, because it has lots of
psychotherapeutic abilities. This time, most of the peoples suffering from mental illnesses
and Bhoot-vidya have given very safe & long lasting treatments (susrut samhita sutra sthan
1:12).
Ayurveda has given more attention to the SHARIR means the body & brain aspect of
the human being, but Ayurveda has never been, by-pass the SHARIRI means the mind &
soul. It has given us incredibly deep knowledge in the field of human psychotherapeutic
sciences and this knowledge is called BHOOT-VIDYA.
Ayurveda has been applying the BHOOT word, in the three types of means. The first
way is used as a physical means like PANCHMAHABHOOT the great five elements, the
second way of using for subtle means like DAIV YONI the psyche & spiritual aspects and
third way is used for all living things like BHOOT GRAMA the micro organisms, non-
vertebrates, vertebrates & mammals. All the nature is made-up of the combinations of
PANCHMAHABHOOT the five great elements, all the subtle things from mind to soul
DAIV YONI are made-up of the combinations of SATVA, RAJ, TAM & ATMA (SHRIRI)
the psyche, spirit, conscious, and SAMAVAYAH the best synergetion of both
PANCHMAHABHOOT+SHARIRI (DAIV YONI) the great five elements + psyche, spirit,
conscious & soul is called PURUSA the human beings, finally the human beings is an
uppermost entity of the world, so in this way human beings working as a PURUSAH
PRADHANAM- chief of the world, then obviously all responsibility also goes to human
beings, uphold the world or obliterate the world PURUSOADHISTHANAM it depends on
the human beings(susrut sutra sthan 1:30).
Ayurveda has given knowledge and also give-us lots of modalities to do kindness
and healings simultaneously, because Ayurveda has covered both parts of the life, the healing
part and the well-beings part of the human beings, means Ayurvedic practionars has
achieving the both things, as-well-as humanity and good healing capabilities.
AYU means the knowledge of one’s whole life span form birth to death and VEDA
means the knowledge of the real things in all aspects (susrut sutra sthan 1:23).
The own-self engender illnesses AADHYATMIKAH it’s creates three types of diseases
(susrut sutra sthan 24:6).
1:The hereditary types diseases: AADIBALPRAVRUTAH: Genetic defects has came from
maternal and paternal genes are called hereditary diseases, likes leprosy, piles. These are two

pregnancy period and due to this, by birth child has got crippled body, blindness, deaf dumb,
stammer and short-high Ted are called congenital diseases. These are two types: metabolic

3:The metabolic types diseases: DOSABALPRAVRUTAH: Due to metabolic imbalances
and side effects, diseases are appeared in human beings is called metabolic types of disease.
These are two types: stomach oriented and intestinal oriented, again these are two types:
