FOR the little we know of Vachaspati Misra the reader is Is referred to the Sanskrit Introduction ; wherein it shown that he was a Maithila Brahrnana and flourished somewhere about the 9th Century A.

For Udayanacharya the author " of the "Parisuddi" on Vachaspati Misra s Tatparya-Tika," flourished in the reign of king Lakshinana Sen of Bengal, of 8th and at whose era we have just commenced the century ; least a century must have elapsed before a work could deserve the honor of a commentary at the hands of Udayanacharya. I take this opportunity to thank my friend Balu Govinda- dasa of Benares, to whom I owe more than I can express, who has been chiefly instrumental in my undertaking and finishing not only of the present translation, but also of the Kavyaprakasa and the Nyaya -Muktavali, and some works on Mimansa. My thanks are also due to Tookaram Tatya Esq. of Bombay for his publication of the work, and also to the " " proprietors of the Theosophist of Madras for allowing a reprint of the translation which first appeared in the columns of that excellent journal.

    Aayushi International Interdisciplinary Research Journal (AIIRJ) PEER REVIEW IMPACT FACTOR ISSN VOL- VI ISSUE-IX SEPTEMBER 2019 e-JOURNAL 5.707 2349-638x A Siddhantic Interpretation On ‘Bhutebhyo Hi Param Tasmaat Naasti Chinta Chikitsite’ Patil Mahesh Annasaheb Professor , Sant Gajanan Ayurveda Medical college , Mahagaon Abstract – Ayurvedic scholars are well aware that sarvadravyam panchbhoutikam asminarhte1ie..All the matters are derived from panchmahabhoot and similarly all the bodies are also made up of panchmahabhoot ( panchmahabhoot shari`r is amvaayiiti sharir ) In Ayurveda different definitions for the sharir had been told as Ekdhatwatmak , dwidhatwatmak , ashtadhatwatmak , chaturvimshatitatwatmaketc but the physiological definition is ‘dosh dhatu mala mulam hi shariram2ⁱ‘ and these Dosh , Dhatu ,Malas are the derivatives of panchmahabhoot(sloka ..) thus clearing that panchmahabhoot forms the foundation for formation of body.But whenever the issue of health and disease occurs the classics had defined it on the state of dosh dahtu level as Samdoshsamagnisamdhatu …and Rogastu doshvaishyamyam3. If we see keenly the origin of panchmahabhoot they have been derived from panchtanmatrasie subtle mahabhootas which in turn are are derivatives of preceding elements as Rajas and Tamas and so on till Avyakt. Whenever we speak about health and diseases relative to Dosh , Dhatu ,Malassamyavastha and vishamavastha indirectly it is concerned to the panchmahabhootas status only. Further if we probe into panchmahabhootas we can reach to rajas tamas

We worship the Guru tradition, starting from Sadasiva, having Sankaracharya in the middle and coming down upto our present Acharya. This book is being published for use of students who join Veda Pathasala for the first year of Vedic studies and specially for those students who are between 7 and 12 years of age. This book is similar to the Non-detailed text books taught in school curriculum. We wish that Veda teachers should teach this book to their Veda students on Anadhyayana days (days on which Vedic teaching is prohibited) or according to their convenience and motivate the students.

  • May I Answer That?
    MAY I ANSWER THAT? By SRI SWAMI SIVANANDA SERVE, LOVE, GIVE, PURIFY, MEDITATE, REALIZE Sri Swami Sivananda So Says Founder of Sri Swami Sivananda The Divine Life Society A DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY PUBLICATION First Edition: 1992 Second Edition: 1994 (4,000 copies) World Wide Web (WWW) Reprint : 1997 WWW site: http://www.rsl.ukans.edu/~pkanagar/divine/ This WWW reprint is for free distribution © The Divine Life Trust Society ISBN 81-7502-104-1 Published By THE DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY P.O. SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh, Himalayas, India. Publishers’ Note This book is a compilation from the various published works of the holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda, including some of his earliest works extending as far back as the late thirties. The questions and answers in the pages that follow deal with some of the commonest, but most vital, doubts raised by practising spiritual aspirants. What invests these answers and explanations with great value is the authority, not only of the sage’s intuition, but also of his personal experience. Swami Sivananda was a sage whose first concern, even first love, shall we say, was the spiritual seeker, the Yoga student. Sivananda lived to serve them; and this priceless volume is the outcome of that Seva Bhav of the great Master. We do hope that the aspirant world will benefit considerably from a careful perusal of the pages that follow and derive rare guidance and inspiration in their struggle for spiritual perfection. May the holy Master’s divine blessings be upon all. SHIVANANDANAGAR, JANUARY 1, 1993.
