Managing imbalance to prevent and cure disease: the approach of Āyurveda to life, health and longevity
By P. Ram Manohar — Jan 15, 2019
The doṣas are the pillars that support the body and, for this reason, their instability leads to the destruction of the body itself. The doṣas are unstable by nature and prone to imbalance. A continuous reconstruction of the body is necessary to keep the doṣas in balance for our health and longevity. Āyurveda makes us recognise the imbalance underlying disease in both early and advanced stages of affliction, helping us to prevent and manage diseases more effectively.
The way to health and happiness
By P. Ram Manohar — Jul 15, 2018
Āyurveda teaches us that health and happiness are achieved through control in the mind. Only when we have unclouded awareness can we then focus on the essence and everything necessary will come to us.
Ethical considerations in the Āyurveda classics
By Asit Kumar Panja, Suman Godara — Apr 24, 2016
Each age of mankind has had its own ethical sense. In ancient India, the sense of ethics was born out of Dharma, which is not merely religion, but the recognition of a mighty law of Life or a law of Truth, so to say. While much of the modern sense of ethics is based on a rational view of life, the ethics of developed ancient cultures such as India were primarily rooted in a spiritual and psychic vision and understanding of man and the cosmos. This article explores some of these ethical areas as they would apply in the field of medical practice through the eye of Āyurveda.
