Introduction
In my opinion Ayurveda is great science
which see the glory along with ancient
sciences.
This presentation is not an Inspirational butI feel it may be Rational.
I want to present the picture of an Ayurvedist
ever think.
This is meant for those who love Ayurveda and
live for Ayurveda.

About Ayurveda past


The journey begins with Lord Brahma who is
real father of Ayurveda which is in
1000chapters -1lakh slokas.
Which sounds awesome , after that the
paramparas starts- they finally divided in 2
one go with Medicine and other one with
surgery.
Here a question arises -in Bhrihatrai the
Acharyas had mentioned they are writing their
samhitas for those who are poor in their
memory and intelligence-(cont.)

An exception is given by them for intelligent


with good memory who have the capacity of
Reasoning to learn and interpret like them.
Which we can suspect that the Ayurveda Samhita
written by Lord Brahma is available to them.
In another way we negotiated towards
Adharvana Veda by telling Ayurveda is a
Upaveda of it .
If Ayurveda is really an Upaveda to Adharvana
Veda, the mere existence of Ayurveda is also
expected , why because the Adharvana Veda is
still available now.

What happened to real treatise our Indians


can memorize 4 Vedas- how they cannot
memorize a Upaveda.
We think Charaka and Susruta samhitas are
both sides of a coin of Ayurveda, but the real
thing is Ayurveda is in constricted formmerely bifurcated to 2 traditions.
I always think about it if the Acharyas protect
the real Ayurveda for future generations it may
give some clues to un answered questions or
for better under standing of their constricted
form.

Eg: Vata Pitta Kapha - we want some physical


and
chemical forms for their better
understanding, I think in two ways
1. the acharyas know the balancing technique
of Vata Pitta Kapha with kshara amla lavana
etc materials which are of physical and
chemical forms they said its is possible to
increase and decrease a condition by using
equal and opposite propertied conditions.
(samanya and visesha sidhanta)

2. the acharyas wanted to measure each and


every inch of the body with in its form it may be
impossible to measure Vata Pitta Kapha in a
particular place and in particular time in the
whole body by feeling the same thing they may
avoided clear description about Vata Pitta Kapha
by only telling functional types of them.
The Ashtanga Ayurveda is mentioned by
Acharyas as specialties of Ayurveda- those are
kaya ,bala ,graha, urdwanga ,shalya ,damstra
jara, vrisha.

Here some interesting fact is that Acharya


Kashyapa do his work in Child and women
health care in priority his treatise is in
elaborated form in those branches, Mimi's
treatise is best in Urdhvanga chikitsa Susruta
also mentioned it in the beginning of Uttara
tantra it self like this super specialties also
developed in those days why dont the
specialty books are secured in their full form.
Like this Ayurvedas past leaves big questions
in our minds even in the mind of a common
man and a researcher of literature.

I dont mentioned time period in any where


those are predicted ones.
Rasa sastra is the 9th branch of Ayurveda.
Because the references are not there in any of
Bhrihatrayee it is entirely different branch in
my opinion.
Due to suppression over surgical procedures
-the need is only fulfilled by a fast acting
drugs which need less effort for digestion and
in small quantity which are basic properties of
Rasaushadhas (cont.)

In this context I am not telling that rasasatra is


alternative option for surgery it will help to
restrict the condition from further progression
in a faster way which we can say prevention of
surgical intervention by stopping progression.
In another way It may be evolved to enhance
the potency of the herbal drugs by several
folds.

In support to above two points we also take the


great thinking of acharyas Dehavada (Body
protection) is better than Lohavada (attain gold
with the help of mercury)-that bonding of
Ayurveda
with
Alchemy
(paratantra
avalokana) .
Which is a great leap in the history of
Ayurveda with strong evidences, I want to say
it give a new look to ancient science to go for
the future generations.

About Ayurveda present


If you say Allopathy is modern science I want
to start Ayurveda after adding Rasasatra is the
starting period of modern Ayurveda.
The new branches that are evolved are Basic
principles, Dravya Guna, Swastha vritta,
Bhaishajya kalpana, Roga and vikriti vignana,
prasuti and stree roga, Manasa roga, Pancha
karma, kshara and vikirana.

Basic principle department is protector of our


ancient treasure and modernize it to current
times where we are deficit in past.
By modernization we can approach a patient
according to current time and the data we
procure will be very much useful in current
and in future front- in one word they are the
new hope in literary front just like
samhitakaras of past.

Dravya Guna is the new form of


vrikshayurveda but the main concentration is
on analysis of drugs in modern parameters ,
which give active forms into light.
It has to be updated depending up on the
medicinal values of herbs and their availability
to control adulteration.

It has to develop the concepts like universal


equality of herbal drugs by identifying active
constituents by which the concept of desa jata
can be overcomed.
The drug development depends up on the
shoulders of Dravya Guna, Rasasatra and
Bhaishajya kalpana individuals.
The storing techniques and processing
techniques in modern way can secure herbs
with their potencies for several days by which
we can over come wastage of drugs.

The manufacturing techniques have to be


modernized time to time for increased shelf
life and increased utility.
The rasasatric medicines are compared with
nano particles and safe which is really a good
break to Ayurveda.
The other clinical branches are to be updated
and the investigating modalities are used for
getting good results and prove ourselves in
scientific front.

In surgical and radiological branches new


techniques has to be encouraged at the same
time our potential areas to be protected like
Kshara sutra, Thermal and alkali cautery, leech
therapy, akshi tarpanam, etc .
Always the clinicians correlate ayurvedically
diagnose d disease to modern medicine which
is one way process-several ayurvedically
diagnosed diseases are not known as diseases
in modern medicine in such cases the patient
will be confused with unknown origin or
iatrogenic tag (cont.)

where we people have lot of scope to treat ,this


point is overlooked by current generation
doctors which has to be cared for strengthen
the scope of treatment which gives pride to
Ayurveda.
Eg: I have seen several unhealed chronic
ulcers healed with our treatments.
Pancha karmas are developed time to time by
securing the values and patient needs. we have
to procure data scientifically.

About Ayurveda future


In my opinion future is with them who can
prevent the disease than cure it - ours is the
best system in that.
The new branches for future are
Pharmacy(B&M), MBA, Super specialties in
clinical branches, Publishing wing , Food
technology,
Robotic
Ayurvedic
spas,
Dieticians, Pasu Ayurveda (veterinary),
Cultivation depend on Ayurvedic parameters,
Textile industry for seasonal and radiation
resistant cloth production etc

Basic needs of Ayurvedic scholar

If you say this is lacuna I will say yes if you


say this is strength I will say yes - this is not
real acceptance this is what generations after
generations Ayurvedic scholars are doing ,
dont forget dear I am one of you.
Leave this Pragnaparadha and do Nidana
parivarjana which are basic cause of
moodiness .
Stand on your legs try hard nothing will
happened , fortunately you are lucky no side
effects

try and try see failure show it to your brother


definitely you will be prayed by your follower
one day- dont be lazy it will give
backwardness to system think you are also a
pillar, work for you it will be useful to system.
If you have the capacity of reasoning you will
be the boss so read it and think about it
carefully.

Conclusion
I am proud to be the part of this legendary
Ultra modernized Ayurveda.
This presentation is not for show my
favourism towards Ayurveda to show its
Reality in my view.
They who read this may change their attitude
towards Ayurveda and implement it in a
scientific way.
