Believed as an Upaveda of Atharva Veda/ Rig Veda, or emerged even before the existence of the Vedas – Ayurveda – the holistic and rich heritage system of Indian medicine originated thousands of years ago, when the evolution of human beings could caress & nurture the flora, which are even today considered the rich source of traditional medicine. Thanks to those ancestors who could scribble down the principles of this medical system and preach them to the next generation, even though the purest of its form is lost in oblivion due to the discontinuity of traditions. Novel concepts always replace the bygone, but in Ayurvedic heritage, no matter welcomed 5000 years or more ago, remains true and few even unrelished completely even today. The desperate changes in culture, tradition, social relationships, refashioning lifestyles, environmental metamorphosis empower Ayurveda to propose a helping hand in revitalising the humanity with supportive hands of contemporary sciences. For people trying to conceive the concepts of this heritage system of medicine, this blog can help you in producing genuine and unblended wisdom of knowledge.
Relocating ourselves to this novel initiative of blogging, I would like to emphasise on few categories which we are going to deal with, while we try to acclimatise with Ayurveda. The data of this heritage shall be canvased under 7 categories as the number seven is associated with luck and magical properties and is a combo of cultural, historical, religious, numerical and psychological factors. Seven, also being the number of horses that lead Lord Surya, being the number of Rishivaryas who were the source of knowledge wisdom (Saptha Rishis), being the number of Swaras present in the basics of music therapy (Saptha Swaras), being the number of Holy rivers in India – maintaining its rich culture & tradition (Saptha Theerthas), also being the number representing the wonders of World. Yes!!! Seven is always so special & honoured.
Hopefully, this small initiative will attract the mankind across the globe, to embrace this simple yet powerful holistic science of medicine, optimally practise the sound ones among them, to bring in contentment, without losing its serenity – to make it a well acceptable and first line of choice of treatment around the globe.
