Yoga And Ayurveda-Part I... Contd.
This healing system has been practised in India for more than 5000 years. Ayurveda teaches that man is a microcosm, a universe within himself. According to the teachings of Ayurveda, every human being has four biological and spiritual instincts: religion, financial, pro creative and the instinct toward freedom. To fulfill these instincts, balanced and perfect good health is the foundation.
Ayurveda evolved in the meditative minds of seers of truth, the Rishis. They perceived that consciousness was energy manifested into the five basic principles or elements-ether (space), air, fire, water and earth. Man is a microcosm of nature, and so the five basic elements present in the matter also exist within each individual.
Ether,
air,
fire,
water
and
earth,
the
five
basic
elements,
manifest
in
the
human
body
as
three
basic
principles
or
humours
known
as
the
tridoshavata
(three
imbalances),
vata,
pitta
and
kapha.
These
three
elements
govern
all
the
biological,
psychological
and
physio-
pathological
functions
of
the
body,
mind
and
consciousness.
They
govern
the
creation,
maintenance
and
destruction
of
bodily
tissues,
and
the
elimination
of
waste
products
from
the
body.
Thus,
the
tridoshas
are
the
foundation
of
the
psychosomatic
existence
of
man.
