Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Matajis, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Bhaktivignavinasa Nrsimhadeva Bhagavan kijaya! For the benefit of the devotees I have digitized an important section of the Ayurveda, the Sarirastan a canto of the Caraka Samhita dealing with the formation of the body -- Sarira. The topics it discusses are of interest to householder and renunciate alike, anyone interested in Vedic culture. Chapter 1 Empirical Soul Chapter 2 Embryological Development Chapter 3 Formation of Embryo Chapter 4 Formation of Embryo (continued) Chapter 5 Individual and Universe Chapter 6 Constitution of Physique Chapter 7 Enumeration of Organs Chapter 8 Method of Procreation (for having excellent children) In order to get a sense of the subject matter I have attached the detailed table of contents as a PDF. The complete PDF of the Sarirastana of the Caraka Samihita is 14 MB. You can download it at: http://tinyurl.com/3wcab Finally I should say that once I had two Indian clients who came for a consultation. One was a physician, an Obstetrician & Gynecologist to be exact. While the doctor was waiting I gave them a copy of this book to read. Later when it was their turn they remarked that they were amazed at how much detailed and accurate knowledge was contained in such an ancient text. They were really impressed by how advanced and scientific it was and had new respect for their own Vedic culture.. Your humble servant, Shyamasundara Dasa www.ShyamasundaraDasa.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
