INTRODUCTION TO AYURVEDA
India is home to one of the most ancient civilization
of the world. The culture of many ancient civilizations of the world
has withered away with time, like in Egypt and in Iran, with external
invasions and the consequent destruction of their uniquely developed
culture. India, and to an extent China, are the two nations who
have maintained this contact with their ancient past despite ruptures
and disruption taking place due to the external invasions of the
Islamite's.
Ancient India had made remarkable
advances in many fields apart from creating one of the most exalting
literature. Great advances were made in the field of metallurgy,
mathematics, medicine and in astronomy. The Vedic age is supposed
to have lasted from 7000 - 4000 BC and coming to
an end near 3750 BC. It was during this time that
the great texts of the Hindu tradition were written, the Rig Veda,
the Sam Veda, the Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda. The Rig Veda
is considered the oldest literature in the world. Ayurveda, the
ancient art of healing and cure is supposed to have developed from
the youngest of the Vedas, the Atharva Veda.
Ayurveda combines together the physical, psychological and the spiritual
therapies to create a wholesome approach to healing. This approach
not only aims to treat the disease but the whole man. It lays emphasis
on the prevention of disease, and the making of a healthy man, dispelling
with the need for cure in the first place. The holistic approach
of Ayurveda has provided western nations with a new approach towards
the attainment of health and happiness in life. Ayurveda encourages
an individual to be the guardian of his own life, and giving not
just the society or the nation, but an entire civilization a complete
philosophy of healing.
