Principles of Ayurveda: Ayurveda Ayurvedic Dictionary on Principles of Ayurveda

According to ayurvedic philosophy an individual bundle of `spirit’, desirious of expressing itself, uses subjective consciousness or Satwa to manifest sense organs and a mind. Spirit and mind then project themselves into a physical body, created from the five (Pancha) great (maha) eternal elements (bhutas) – together called the Panchamahabhutas – which arise from Tamas. The sense organs then using Rajas to project from the body into the external world to experience their objects. The body becoming the mind’s vehicle, its physical instrument for sense gratification.

The Bhutas combine into "tridoshas" or bioenergetic forces that govern and determine our health or physical condition. While the three gunas (Rajas or activity, Tamas or inertia and Satwa, which balances the first two) or psychic forces determine our mental and spiritual health. Ayurveda is thus a holistic system of health care that teaches us to balance these energies in order to achieve optimum health and well being.

The definition and meaning of Principles of Ayurveda is extracted from the home page of All Ayurveda - Worlds first portal on Ayurveda

"Life seems  to have come a full circle in case of certain aspects of  medicinal science. The focus today having shifted back from  an all-dominating Allopathy to the traditional, natural  systems of health that had served humankind well prior to  its advent. Quite understandably, Ayurveda, with nearly 500  million adherents and as part of a projected $62 billion  industry worldwide, has been staging a strong comeback.

An ancient  holistic system of medicine, it uses a vast range of natural herbs and minerals to tackle ailments - herbs that assure  relief or progress without any side effects. Intensive  laboratory and clinical research has helped in further  improvement. Playing a stellar role in that has been an organisation that is better known by its brand name Baidyanath.

With a  basket of over 700 ayurvedic and herbal products produced in  10 hi-tech manufacturing units with state-of-the-art  research facilities all over India, Baidyanath's more than  eight decades of experience puts it in an unequalled  position of leadership in this field. The vast treasure of knowledge shared with rest of the world through nearly fifty  books."
