Ayurveda & Yoga
Ayurveda and Yoga are ancient Indian
sciences dating back to the
Upanishads, written between
1000-5000 BC. They have been
practiced for thousands of years in
the land for the healing of body,
mind, and consciousness. However,
while Ayurveda deals more with the
health of the body, yoga deals with
purifying the mind and
consciousness, but in actual
practice, they complement one other.
The ancient rishis (seers) were the
original masters of Indian sciences.
They considered good health as an
essential asset on the path toward
self-realization and
god-realization.
●
Both Ayurveda and Yoga offer
many ways to prevent and heal
various disorders as well as to
cleanse and rejuvenate the body.
●
Besides sharing a
philosophical foundation, both
systems have many similarities in
relation to
attitude, nutrition, diet, hygiene, exercise, cleansing practices,
as well as spiritual practices.
●
Both recognize that keeping
the body healthy is vital for
fulfilling the four aims of life:
Dharma
(duty), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation).
●
Both recognize that the
balance of doshas (humors), dhatus
(tissues), and malas (waste
products) is essential for maintaining good health.
●
Both share virtually the same
metaphysical anatomy and physiology,
which consists of 72,000
nadis (subtle channels), 7 main chakras (energy centers), 5 bodily
sheaths, and the Kundalini
Shakti (energy).
●
Both advocate the use of
diet, herbs, asana, pranayama,
meditation, mantra, astrology,
prayer,
puja, and rituals for healing the entire being.
●
Both encourage physical
health as a good foundation for
mental, emotional, and spiritual
well-
being.
The list does not end here. There
are a number of other similarities
between the two practices.
Alternative lifestyles and stressful
schedules are contributing to
reduced health. The inability of
modern medicines to allay all
sicknesses and diseases has led an
increasing number of people to
Ayurveda and Yoga. Ayurveda alone
with Yoga is proving the ancient
practitioners of India to be correct
in their assessment of human body.
