In Panchakarma “Vamana” is one of the complex procedure which deals with vitiated Doshas. Madanaphala (Randia dumentorum) is the main superior drug routinely used for Vamana Karma. Although in Samhita it is stated that Madanaphala pippali should be used for Vamana but in todays practice whole Madana phala churna is also in use, Hence single case study of Vamana in healthy person has been carried out with Madanaphala pippali compare to whole Madanaphala churna. We observed significant difference in both Vamana karmas due to different Vamaka yogas. This article would like to highlight discussion on the above study. Key words – Madanphala Pippali Churna, Madanaphala Churna and Vamana karma. INTRODUCTION planned to compare the classical and traditional Vamana procedures.

He had a son named Nachiketa. 2—3 When the gifts were being distributed, faith entered into the heart of Nachiketa, who was still a boy. He said to himself: Joyless, surely, are the worlds to which he goes who gives away cows no longer able to drink, to eat, to give milk, or to calve. 4 He said to his father: Father! To whom will you give me? He said this a second and a third time. Then his father replied: Unto death I will give you. 5 Among many I am the first; or among many I am the middlemost. But certainly I am never the last. What purpose of the King of Death will my father serve today by thus giving me away to him? 6 Nachiketa said: Look back and see how it was with those who came before us and observe how it is with those who are now with us.

  • Vedas ( What They Are Commonly Known As ) and the Upanishads
    Introduction In hinduism there are multiple sacred documents, not like in Christianity or Judaism where there is a singular book ( the Torah or the Bible for example ). There are 5 main texts in hinduism and they tell the story of hinduism from its beginnings. The first the ‘Vedic Verses’, the oldest book written between 1500 to 900 BCE, second, the Upanishads, third the Laws of Manu, fourth, Ramayana and fifth Mahabharata. These five books are split into two sections, the ‘Shruti’ and ‘Smirti’. Shruti meaning ‘what is heard’ consists of the Vedic verses or Vedas ( what they are commonly known as ) and the Upanishads. These are books that were heard directly from the Gods by sages - they are considered more meaningful, however, they are not used by ordinary practicing hindus but rather sages and other religious figures. The books more commonly used are the Smirti which means ‘ what is remembered ‘ - these include the remaining three books. They were written by the sages and are thought to be interpretations of the Shruti, they are more reader friendly and are more commonly used. These classifications are based on the origins of the books not who wrote them. About the Vedas Veda translates as ‘knowledge’ in sanskrit. They are the most ancient text in hinduism and describe what hindu’s believe to be the truth - also known as Brahman. Brahman is the absolute reality that is the true essence of all existence, God. The Vedas were brought to India by the Aryans, mostly the indo-iranians ( as the term aryan is cultural not racial and includes europeans such as the romans, greeks and germanics ).
