Presentation Notes

Opportunities & Obstacles in Ayurveda

Dr. K.S.R. PrasadProf. & Head, PG Dept. of PanchakarmaSJG Ayurvedic Medical College, Koppal, Karnataka - India


Ambition• Propagation of Indian

Health systems • Serving the diseased – to

make a disease free society • Earning the livelihood• Getting “Professional

Respect” in society• Sacrifice - Forcible Entry in

to this system – To satisfy parents – Not getting seat in other

courses– Better than the other

options


Clarify! - before you enter:• Reputation –• Approvals -• Facilities –• Infrastructure –• Faculty –• Hospital –• Management –• Future plans – of Institution,

– In which you are joining


Opportunities• Opportunities appears always & all

time• Proper Utilization of opportunity is a

big question • Wise persons activity is Developing

an Opportunity• Intelligent persons Target is

Grabbing an Opportunity • Now – the question is whether you

are WISE or INTELLIGENT


Opportunities• Opportunities are like drops of water• To make them useful - as a glass of water – we need –

– Loyalty– Enthusiasm – Abilities – Dedication – Endurance – Responsibility – Sincerity – Honesty – Intelligence – Patience

• With this – you are LEADER in Ayurveda


Opportunity Strain & Span in Ayurveda

• You spend – 5 and 1/2 years – as 18 X 3 Phase + 12 months– 18 subjects in 3 phases

• First Professional – 6 subjects• Second Professional – 6 subjects• Third Professional – 6 subjects


First Professional– 1. Padartha Vigyan– 2. Astang Hridayam (Sutrasthan)– 3. Sanskrit– 4. Ayurveda Itihas– 5. Rachna Sharir– 6. Kriya Sharir


Sanskrit• Sanskrit – we think as

dead language, but most of the traditional scientific information is in Sanskrit.

• I strongly feel Sanskrit as a key subject in Ayurveda – and Ayurvedic scientific Sanskrit should be separated and taught to the students.

Ayurveda Itihasa• To know the history

is necessary• In spite of many

oppositions also this subject continues in Ayurveda curriculum, which is not at all useful in any manner to become a successful Ayurveda practitioner

Astanga Hridayam• A melodies rhythmic

Ayurvedic traditional treatise is Astanga Hridayam

• Rather than teaching it as a separate subject – combined with Sanskrit and Itihasa (History) – makes sense and easy to students

• But it is at present mandatory to students, whether they understand it or not

Padartha Vijanan• Many of the Ayurvedic community does not

understand this subject at all. They feel it as unnecessary subject in Ayurveda curriculum.

• Padartha Vijnana is a concomitant Quantum Physics, Micro Chemistry, etc. Physical sciences

• A lifeless to life conversion and vice versa is discussed here.

Rachana Sareera

• Shareera is a subject tells about the body

• Rachana is a tissue, Organ structural descriptive – tells about the body structure i.e. Anatomy

• For understanding the functions of the body, it is very much necessary to know about the body through dissection.

Kriya Shareera• We already know that

Shareera is body• Body functions are – Kriya• Vata, Pitta and Kapha along

with body tissues formation and functions are studied here

• The proper understanding makes us to know the pathology well and treat the patient successful

• Swasta means – the Health and the procedures followed to get it is Swastavritta

• Personal, Social, Spiritual, mental healthiness is obtained through the said regimens

• The part of Yoga – and its practice is also accepted by Ayurveda and practiced here

• Not obeying the rules and regulations leads to disease

Roga Vijnana & Vikriti Vijnana

• Vikriti Vijanan is Pathology and the Roga Vijnana is disease diagnostics

• It is very much necessary to learn in the background knowledge of Sanskrit, Padartha Vijanana, Rachana Shareera and Kriya Shareera

Agad Tantra, Vyavhar Ayurveda

• Agada is (Antitoxic) Forensic medicine and Vyavahara Ayurveda is Medical Jurisprudence

• Forensic Medicine in Ayurveda is a special branch deals with treatments of different poisonous Animals bites and Insects stings

• Forensic pathology is a branch of pathology concerned with determining the cause of death by examination of a corpse is also included

• Jurisprudence is the theory and philosophy of law in Medicine.

Dravyaguna

• Dravyaguna – speaks about the Identification, Propagation, Therapeutic uses of the Plant Kingdom in Ayurveda

Rasa Sastra & Bhaishajya Kalpana

• This is a combination of two subjects : – Rasa shastra – a science of Metals and Non-

plant kingdom materials used in treatments – Bhaishajya Kalpana – is pharmaceuticals,

where the preparation of Herbal and Herbo- Mineral combinations

– This branch uses – Metals, Gems, Resins, etc

Charaka Samhita (Poorvartha)• Charaka Samhita is said

as the fundamental text to treat successfully

• The second half of the Samhita is studied here – even though it covers entire in Kayachikitsa

Prasuti Tantra, Striroga

• Any race is necessary to reproduce – major part of procreation in Humanoid forms taken by women

• Problems of women and procreative procedures (Pregnancy and Delivery) are dealt here along with management

child develops as full human –• Child welfare – immunization,

developmental landmarks, problems and treatments are dealt here

management is Kayachikitsa • It takes the background from

the learned subjects of 1st and 2nd phases of BAMS and applies over patient

• The first step is – Pulse - Diagnosis and Pathology – learnt from 2nd phase is applied to make reverse pathology planning

Kayachikitsa continued . . .

• Chiefly the Therapeutics planning is in two way –– For Healthy –

• Rejuvenation (Rasayana) and • Procreative aphrodisiacs (Vajikarana)• Prophylactic Managements through Yoga, etc.

obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, ENT, ophthalmology, etc -Madras High Court Verdict

Reacting to the latest order, state health secretary VK Subburaj said they were just making use of the provisions in the Act. “But this is allowed only for those who attended colleges and underwent training for surgeries.Source : Times of India July 30 2010

Obstacles • Obstacles are not really problems – they are the

ways of testing talent • Clearing obstacles makes the talent to develop • Each obstacle makes us to learn a new lesson

of Life• Ayurveda – a good old traditional Medical

science have the treatise of more than 5000 years

• Understanding those treatise now is a real problem or challenge


Common Initial Problems1. Difficulty in Learning & application

of Sanskrit2. Feeling of unnecessary study of

subjects 3. Not getting the link for

Understanding the Ayurveda terms at contemporary context

4. Confusion of Ayurveda Concepts at present day practice

5. How – when – where – the Ayurveda Medicine acts –

6. How to understand this phenomenon?


Clearing Obstacle• Instead of cursing the

Darkness – try to lit a small light – that spreads in all direction and removes the darkness

• In the same way in Ayurveda – each and every topic, step by step clarification reflects in multidirectional subject development


What is NEXT• B.A.M.S. degree is

awarded • You get a prefix of

Vaidya (Doctor)• Search for employment

and earning • Now – what are

opportunities in Ayurveda is a Big question


Real time Opportunities

• Start – in India– Ayurveda General Practice– Ayurveda OPD Panchakarma Practice – Developing Ayurveda IPD Hospital – Join in Pharmacy as ARO– Join as MO in Govt. & Private– Collaborating with Spa, Resorts, etc

– Undertaking programs of CCRAS, AYUSH – as NGO

Life is not spoon feed

• Obstacles and Opportunities are common in Life

• Most of the time they are like Rail- way – parallel

• Overcoming Obstacles and using & grabbing Opportunities makes Life Happy & Successful


Treating Disease is Important but

Preventing a Disease is Most Important
