Foreword

To understand the principles of Ayurveda, the basis of Padartha Vijnana is essential. But: most of the times, the study of the subject is neglected by the students as well as the teaching community. As the subject is taught in the first year of undergraduate education, students find it difficult to adjust to the precepts of philosophy. By the time they start their career, the would be out of touch with the subject. The teachers are often blamed for this paradoxical situation.

Dr. Vidyalakshmi, the author of this book, has effectively taught the subject to the students for many years. Herk communication skills and depth of the knowledge are reflected in the book. I hope the student community will find this book useful to create interest in the subject, as well as meet the needs of the examination.

I hope, the author would write more books in future benefiting the science of Ayurveda.

Preface

Padartha Vijnana means the science which deals with the substances in the universe, its relationship with the living being in terms of their properties, functions; methods of understanding them etc. Generally the subject Padartha Vigyan is considered as tough in the field of Ayurveda. But, it is the most useful subject than any other in Ayurveda. The topics dealt in it are the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda on which entire chikitsa stands. Understanding the eliments in the universe is mandatory before studying the body. The components of the universe are studied as "Shad Padartha" in Padartha Vijnana. Samanya Vishesha Siddhanta, Panchamahabhuta, Atma, Kaala, Dik, Manas, Guna, Karma, Samavaya include all the substances with their properties, functions and their mutual relationship. Philosophical background of concepts of Ayurveda are discussed in Darshanas; Cause and Effect are explained through different Karya-Kaarana Siddhanta. The methods of understanding the shastra is through the help of pareeksha/pramana. Studying Ayurveda Itihasa in terms of important historical persons, their place, time, family, impact on Ayurveda etc is the need of the BAMS students before the study of proper subjects.

In this book, subject matter is discussed with the help of different darshanas and other shastras which are correlated with Ayurveda System. Hence this book "Padartha Vijnana Evam Ayurveda Itihasa" will be a good guide for the BAMS students; as it includes all the subject matters in accordence to the revised syllabus prescribed by CCIM, New Delhi.
