Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! RISHI VANI - 38 COURTESY: SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO KO ARUK? -- Charaka Samhita Charaka, the famous pioneering physician of Ayurveda on ancient herbal medicine begins his " Charaka Samhita " with this fundamental query " Who's there without a disease? " Maharshi Charaka asks this question to mean that every human carries with him some disease or other. He tells us by the rhetoric question that there is no one on this earth who is free from disease. Diseases are of various kinds and degrees. Some are seen outside while some remain latent. Some are latent and some are manifest. Some are violent and disturbing while others are tolerated and made mild in nature by the defense mechanism of the body. And modern science brings us the category of genetic diseases which are passed on to the infant through their parents through the DNA imprints. Maharshi Charaka by this wise inaugural saying in his " magnum opus " , " Charaka Samhita " , exhorts people to rid themselves of feelings of arrogance of being healthy and look down upon the sick. He drives home the point that all men are with some diseases or the other. " Vyadhigrasthe Kalebare " , the body (Kalebaram) carries some disease (vyadhi) or other. Hence man must take care of his health seeking all the ways to preserving health, which is of utmost importance to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
