Aim of Ayurvedic Science is more towards the preventive aspect rather than its curative. This As per Haranchnadra Avyakta word means prevention is not only limited up to avoiding which is not manifested and not perceive by the disease but also responsible for the better the sense organ. This Avyaktam is par away manifestation of all physiological events from any subject, which is perceivable by running inside the body on its singular unit Indriya. This is root cause for the production platform. This peculiar concept is described by so Mulakarana is other synonym of Avyakta.[2] Acharya Sushruta before entering the main This explains further about the 8 distinct description of Sharira.

Ayurveda College, Patna. Article Received on 07/06/2017 Article Revised on 28/06/2017 Article Accepted on 19/07/2017 ABSTRACT Since human body is a part of this universe, whatever is available in the universe, those are also present in the human body. Ayurveda is a life science. It has many own principles, among them Panchamahabhut principle is base for Ayurveda, and it is accepted worldwide. It is seen that there is a strong similarity between the Panchamahabhut and components of the earth. Like Panchamahabhut earth also contains five components. I.e. atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, mantle and core. Prithvi mahabhut contains properties of all previous mahabhuta, similarly lithosphere interacts with other components of earth. On close observation it is seen that predominance of properties and action of Akash and Vayu mahabhut are seen in atmosphere, Jala in hydrosphere, Agni in mantle and core, Prithvi in lithosphere and Vayu makes motion in all strata of the earth. It shows similarity of panchamabhut and earth. Till date total no. Of elements discovered are 112. Out of them, only 26 elements are responsible for cent percent constitution, physical structure, as well as chemical and biological functions of the human body.

  • Critical Appraisal of Panchamahabhuta Siddhant
    Review Article International Ayurvedic Medical Journal ISSN:2320 5091 CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF PANCHAMAHABHUTA SIDDHANT Dinesh Prakash Todkari1, G.S.Lavekar2 1Lecturer, Dept of Samhita Sidhant, Dhanwantari Ayurved College,Udgir, Maharashtra, India 2Former DG, CCRAS- AYUSH, Ministry of Health & F.W. Govt. Of India, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT For true exploration and validation of Ayurveda in all its aspects, scientific inputs should conform to Ayurveda’s basic principles and philosophy. Till date so many studies have been done for elaboration of fundamental principles like Tridosha, Dhatu, Strotas, Agni, Oja, Ama etc. No any rewarding work has been done on Panchamahabhuta siddhant and it is a still stalemate for us. In this perception present attempt is enlightened on clinical application and its importance in Ayurveda. Here emphasis has been given on evolution of Panchamahabhuta, its relation with other fundamentals like Dosha (humours), Rasa (tastes), garbhotpatti (embryonic development), Diagnostic methods and samskar (biotransforma- tion). So on the basis of thorough knowledge and understanding of Panchamahabhut siddhant one can take an account of the causative factors for the imbalance of doshas and thereby discover the solution for the treatment. Detail literature reviewed regarding Panchamahabhuta theory in the form of dissertation, thesis, review articles, internet sources, modern concepts, souvenirs and these are used as material for present conceptual study. Panchamahabhutas are important components of the body both for physiological functions and in the pathogenesis of disease. Hence sincere trial by author to elaborate the concept of Panchamahabhuta in a systemic manner is done. It is very much essential for a good physi- cian to develop with this concept to make the basic things more clear and strong.

  • Reincarnation: Mechanics, Narratives, and Implications
    religions Article Reincarnation: Mechanics, Narratives, and Implications Christopher Key Chapple ID Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA 90045, USA; [email protected] Received: 12 September 2017; Accepted: 24 October 2017; Published: 27 October 2017 Abstract: This essay explores the mechanics associated with rebirth, noting differences between Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain narratives. It examines the concept of subtle body and the lingam˙ in Sa¯m. khya. According to the Hindu tradition, the remains of the departed person, when cremated, merge with clouds in the upper atmosphere. As the monsoon rain clouds gather, the leftovers mingle with the clouds, returning to earth and eventually finding new life in complex biological cycles. According to Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism, the remains of a person take a ghostly form for 49 days until taking a new birth. According to Jainism, the departed soul immediately travels to the new birth realm at the moment of death. According to Jain karma theory, in the last third of one’s life, a living being makes a fateful choice that determines his or her next embodiment. The 20th century Hindu Yoga teacher Paramahamsa Yogananda, in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, provides an alternate description of a twofold astral and causal body. One hallmark of the Buddha and of the 24 Jain T¯ırthankaras˙ was that they remembered all the lives they had lived and the lessons learned in those lives. The Buddha recalled 550 past lives and used these memories to fuel many of his lectures. Mahav¯ ¯ıra remembered his past lives and also the past lives of others.
