Great Ayurveda site

Will get your feet wet if you don't know too much about Ayurveda. It is

the internet home of Dr. David Frawley.

I have dabbled in Ayurvedic enough to recognize that much of what Yogiji

has been teaching us since 1969 comes right out of this system. Now it

is not so mysterious but rather like common sense.

Start with the article entitled "The Ayurvedic Affects of Asana

Practice, from Yoga For Your Type". It gives a basic description of the

Doshas plus a bunch more........a whole bunch more! A number of good

articles plus a correspondence course in Ayurvedic medicine

Sat Nam,

Are you saying that if we understood the Ayurvedic system (more) that we

would have an easier time selecting kriya for specific problems? The

problem in understanding for me seems to be the layout of the system. It is

not the same as the Chinese system that I know, and I am confused by it.

 

Guru Chandran of Espanola (the chiropracter) criticizes Ayurvedic medicine

saying that it is not meant for householders. Do you know anything about

this? I get mixed messages and I am confused by them.

Hi Ellen,

I am just another student of Ayurveda who is wanting to share some

recent discoveries. My life has been transformed by the guidance I have

gotten from Yogiji and Gurucahran......things I could never have

prescribed for myself. I have always wondered how with one glance a

Master can know so well what my psyche needed to do in order to get

unstuck and move on. My search in the area of Ayurveda is part of my

wanting to understand. And maybe in understanding my own story well

enough I can help another in their search. On another front, Yogiji

isn't very available to folks anymore and so one has to look elsewhere

for certain kinds of understanding. It is good to pick a yoga set that

feels good but what you may need to grow may not so obvious. Yogiji has

said that balancing the tatvas and vayus is what defines happiness.

Please read on.

Simply reading of well written Ayurvedic texts can be transformative

(now that you know that, you may have resistance). The many articles

here are merely to nourish the mind and feed the spirit. Maybe I

shouldn't have pointed to a particular article. Yogiji has taught so

much more than Kriyas. As a matter of personal experience, watching

Yogiji work and counsel has been an eye-opener. He is talking much more

than yoga.

There is some much at this site. Take the time if you have it. While in

India I bought as many titles by Frawley as I could find.

Don't be confused. Stay with the Chinese system if it works for you.

Remember that the concepts of Chi and Prana are identical. I understand

the meridian system to an extent but don't really have a feeling for

much else (I can become confused about the Chinese as well). I just

figure that if I've been doing Kundalini since '77 that maybe I should

expend my efforts looking into something that comes from where the yoga

come from. It really does make sense but ...........and is worth the

effort. I hear so many questions that folks can answer for themselves

with much more understanding, if they take the time.

Guru Chander speaks with power but it is easy to feel that anything

coming from the Orient (Asiatic) doesn't work with the West especially

if someone in that system came to town and advised a bunch of vegetarian

Sikhs to have chicken soup (Espanola has a little history). Do your own

studies and don't listen to remarks in passing.

Yogiji uses Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Once you get past the

"system", you can understand all because it is merely an

approach.....another ladder to the roof and once you're on the roof, you

don't need the ladder. Once we get to the roof is be humble and not

argue about systems and religion and who's God is better.

Be Well,

Dharam
