AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is an ancient science of medicine of Hindus. It is the oldest science of medicine in which all the medical aspects are described scientifically and systematically. It not only deals with the medicinal aspects but also the spiritual and philosophical aspect of life. It teaches the way of life to have a success, peaceful and healthy life. So we can say that it is a complete science of life. Literally the word ‘Ayu’ means life and the word ‘Veda’ means systematic experienced knowledge. Thus the name it self defines the Ayurveda that means the science of life. In Ayurvedic text Charaka it is defined as the science that deals all about various aspect of life that is Shukha Ayu (Healthy life or comfortable life), Dukha Ayu (Unhealthy life or uncomfortable life), Hita Ayu (A life of a person who cares about society) and Ahita Ayu (A life of a person who does not cares about society), about its well beings, about its harming factor and about the span of life. Ayurveda preached that the generous and humble people leads a healthy life where as cruel and criminal minded people always suffers from one or the other type of diseases. So, one should try to live a generous and humble life.

The word ‘Ayu’ is defined as the combination state of Soul, Mind, Indrya (senses) and Pancha Mahabhoota (Five basic element of universe). Till this combination exists, the life persist otherwise life ends and death comes. In this combination state of life Soul, Senses and Mind is considered as the part of Sukshama sharir (Astray life) and the pancha mahabhoot gives the formation of Sthula sharira i.e. Physical body. Mind act as the connector between the two. Mind, Soul and Senses are the invisible component of the body whereas Pancha Mahabhoota forms the visual physical part of the body i.e. cells, tissues, organs and systems. This life has four synonyms as per its quality. These synonyms are - Dhari (To sustain), Jeevitam (Livelihood), Nityagah (Going on) and Anubandha (Keep connected). The word Dhari means to sustain the life. Till life exists, the body does not get destroyed; it maintained the livelihood of body. It fights against the diseases or infections that may cause harm to it. We see after death when this combination of life is broken the physical body start decaying. It means the combination state of life has power to sustain the body alive. So it is named as Dhari or Sustainer. The word Jeevitam means Alive. The body remains alive till the combination of Soul, Senses, Mind and Physical body exist, other wise death occurs. Thus it is called Jeevitam necessary for Livelihood. The word Nityagah means going on or have in journey. It is said that life is a journey from birth to death where it goes through different stages of life that is childhood, adolescent, young and old age. These are the continuous process for each and every living body. So it is named as Nityagah means going on or in journey. The word Anubandha means to keep connected or intact. Life is the combination state of Soul, Mind, Senses and the body. These combinations remain intact till life exists. So it is called Anubandha meaning Intact.

Astray life i.e. Soul, Mind and Senses are the key part of the body that controls all the functions of the body and is important for the sustaining of life. These parts are in the energy form so these parts do not destroy and finally merge into the main energy source i.e. is Pramatma the all mighty God after death. The state when these energy forms merge in to the supernatural power i.e. God it is said Moksha or Nirvan. But this state of Nirvan (Spiritual release) does not come after death in each person’s life but only a few persons get this chance. Because human beings life is bonded in his good or bad karma (Actions) that he performed in his life. He has to go in new life after death as per his good or bad karma (Actions). To have Moksha it is necessary to perform Nishkama Karma i.e. work should be done without having wishes or for well being of others. It is explained in detail in the Geeta a holly book of Hindu’s. Flow of energy in the physical part of the body remains the life sustained and healthy. Whenever there is disturbance in the flow of energy it brings disease or gives space for the development of disease state. Yoga is all about the science of flow of energy in the body that keeps the body healthy. It has so many techniques to correct the disturbed flow of energy. The literal meaning of ‘Yoga’ is to connect the physical body (materialistic part) to its astray-body i.e. energy form, and ultimately the astray-body to the super natural power the all mighty God. Ancient hindu monks and Rishi-Munis practices from the long time back and achieves it goal of nirvana i.e. spiritual release. During practices of Yoga they gain super natural power. By using this power they can do many unbelievable things. It is said that they can fly on the air they can walk on the water, which is impossible as per the knowledge of science. Flow of energy have different centers in the body these are called Chakras (Circle). These are not the anatomical structure but the energy centre through which energy flows. As current flows in the wire, like wise this energy flows in the body through different chakras. These chakras have controls on the different parts and different actions of the body. There are total seven Chakras in the body. These are 1.Sahasrar Chakra, 2.Agyan Chakra, 3.Vishudha Chakra, 4.Hruday Chakra, 5.Manipur chakra, 6.Swadhisthan Chakra and 7.Mooladhar Chakra. Among them Mooladhar chakra is the most powerful Chakra and contains lot of energy. It lies at the base of the vertebral column near anus. Energy flow from this chakra to upwards through different chakra and ultimately reaches to Sahashrar chakra the end chakra situated around the brain. From Shashrar chakra again this energy flows towards Mooladhar chakra through Ingla Pingla Nadi i.e. spinal cord crossing all the chakras coming in between them. This flow of energy is continued till life exists. This flow of energy is similar to that in magnet. There are seven compartments of energy level in the body. These are Pranamaya sharir (life) compartment, Vayumay sharir (Air) compartment, Agnimay sharir (Fire) compartment, Annamay sharir (Food) compartment, Mansamay sharir (Muscular or tissue) compartment. This way energy form of body is connected with the physical body. We can see only physical part of the body. Life science deals with only this physical or anatomical body and their physiological body. Science is far away from this energy form of life. Science would have to gain more knowledge and have experiments to know about this energy form of life. Yoga not only explained about the energy form of body but also the physical form of the body.
