Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Dear Prabha Point of view (from where you see things) of your research will determine what all you want to see. You can laugh, criticise or adore. All is up to yourself. But as a research person, you should at least find truth. In tradition, purpose of medicines is curing a disease and nourish the body. Body is biological construct, and humans and animals are alike. Animals/ plants obviously cannot get admitted to the MBBS. Main thing is, that diseases of humans are related to their state of being, and their inability to reach what they wanted to be. Humans experience every time new mind mines where they are unable to get over. This means, disease are not physical (only injury is physical) and this is a reson, ayurveda can help you realize this deep knowledge of life. If you can have patience to read the article below, without prejudice and can reflect upon it, no further explanation would be needed. Regards K G Misra Yoga and Ayurveda are inseparable K G Misra http://bhagwatgita.blogspot.com/2006/01/yoga-and-ayurveda-are-inseparable.html Swami Ramdeo is trying to develop spiritual awakening by practice of the Ayurveda. He is not just treating sick people, it is just a beginning. And aim of Ayurveda is not at all similar to biology or psychology or mechanical engineering . Ayurveda is about how should we co-exist in nature and have an understanding of the purpose of our life. This world is actually not a universe but multiverse, formed just as a flux or meeting point of souls wandering in their own orbits. Ayurveda is about this knowledge of the SELF and NATURE. Like Maruti, or Ford or WV, these are automobiles of different make for a certain purpose. A LIFE is similarly a natural automobile. The driver of car is SELF (atman / Khuda) and car is NATURE. SELF is unlimited and without properties, and NATURE is 100% disciplined and have fixed laws. When the LIFE combines these two (SELF and NATURE), there is DIS - EASE or discomfort in establishing this connection. To remove this dis comfort or dis-ease, is AYURVEDA. Modern medicines (called Chikitsa) is injury management or dealing with accidents, and it is in lower part of the Ayurveda. First step of Ayurveda is JYOTISH - This is about knowledge of destination (destiny) where driver must take the automobile. If a person wants to be a scientist and becomes an accountant, his /her dis - eases are related to JYOTISH because the destination of life was itself wrong. He / she has desire (destination) in different direction but his/her needs (livelihood) or compulsions drift him/her away from it. Gandhi, Einstein are examples of purposeful lives. They have least diseases and lived without an enemy. All life lines are like magnetic lines that can never cut each other and when it cuts, reaction (energy) is produced only to maintain a safe distance. Second step is SWASTHYA - or so called health; this is about driving skills , and to STAY IN SELF. Swa means SELF 'Stha' means, TO STAY. The person must be aware of surroundings and proper life styles - physical and psychological . If driver is unmindful of controls of natural body and how to keep it fit and stay in balance, he/she is not 'Swasth' (healthy). Restraint of senses (JITENDRIYA), cleanliness (SHAUCH) and meditation (YOGA) keep the mind-body relation in balance. Third step is CHIKITSA - this is last step of Ayurved (in English called Medical science). This is about managing after accident. Medical science is about repairing the material body which is a dead weight but not careful of SELF and this is reason of Auyrveda different than Medical science. Chikita or medical treatment or biological treatment is waste of everything, if driver neither knows the destination nor driving, and will come back all over again. All living beings have power of healing and this can be used to help one another. By Chikitsa or medical treatment, one recognizes value in each others viz., plants, rivers, animals, mountains all into one wholistic form. Fourth step is MRITUY - this is Samadhi (relieving the body), suicide (distasteful abandonment) by oneself or other deaths caused by external injury, failure of any body parts and a natural fatigue failure. It is beyond repair and the atma concedes to abandon the material body for its unsolvable memory or unsuitable body that can not be further carried towards destination. It has to replace the vehicle and the world around it. Bhagwan Shiva is this body of knowledge on transmigration or replacement process of SELF into another NATURE. Knowledge of death and rebirth is the final answer. This is most useful medicine because in absence of death, lives would be like indestructible polythene which is environmental nuisance. Such life is neither useful to itself nor to others. Driver of vehicle has to abandon the frail body and find a replacement. He/she takes another form of life, and it starts all over again in an endless loop. This loop of birth and death is broken after the detachment. Auyrveda is first JYOTISH, second SWATHYA third CHIKITSA and lastly MRITUY -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Prabha Krishnan Tuesday, August 01, 2006 11:10 AM To: Re: [HealthyIndia] Re: Why holistic healers are against modern medicine. Dear Jagannath, Ravi, Dr. Acharya, Dr. Rebello, Raman Khanna and others. Most interesting discussion on holistic healing. I am particularly happy because I am attempting to research this topic of the Self healing the Self. What is being discussed seems to be the question of agency. Who is doing the healing? Who is being healed? Please read the attachment. I would value any inputs from you all. Thanks and regards Prabha Krishnan Ravi Ahuja <rgahujamp wrote: Hello All, I wish to address this mail to Shri Raman Khanna, in response to his mail to Shri Jagannnathji. Raman, I agree with you, in your opening statement, " People are both the problem and the solution " The question; here is who is the problem and who is the solution? You say, that patients in your cancer ward, is worth having a look at? Why because, the patients are being or have been treated by the best brains, and yet the live to suffer and perish? You perceive they came to the hospital, because, they felt it was there that they could find some hope to live; but go back when you passed the final judgement on them, that they now have to die with it. Tell me, what does a mother, do when she sees, her child playing with fire? Let me put that for you as well: She first screams,(knee jerk reaction) Then yells at the child for playing so carelessly with the fire, then guess What? She curses herself, for not having taken care of her child And then thanks god, for saving her child, by keeping her alert on his activities. Tell me should the child be thankful to the mother or the god? Some may say, God, Some may say the mother, some may say, God, who came in the form of a mother, to save him. Some may say, he should not thank anybody, because he was destined to die then, hence nothing untowards was to befall on him So what’s the relevance of this point - you may ask? The same principle comes in to play here as well. At the moment, it is claimed that practitioners of Modern Medicine - Allopaths are the Mothers, who are capable of saving the child. Nobody else apart from them can do that! This is coupled with a strong financial lobby, which supports (Read " Funds " ) this school of thought How can you decry another science, without having applied your mind to it? Just the way you cant study chemistry without going to the lab, Cant study anatomy, without a dissection, cant understand pathology without having seen microbes, cannot understand the pathophysiology with out going to the wards, In the similar way, the method to study, understand, decipher, and interprets Spirituality, you need to study spirituality, without first questioning it? You may say, Why study without a questioning? Did you see the atomic structure of water, when you were first told about it in the class? Did you not accept it at face value, when your teacher explained it to you. The same applies to the science of spirituality Now, let’s get to the core facts: Tell me what is your contribution to the recovery of a patient to whom you prescribe an antipyretic like say Acetaminophen. You would argue; I prescribed the drug, I used my judgment and chose this one amongst many others!! Thats my skill!! OK!!! But what’s the great deal about it? That’s what you were trained for? You were not one of those who discovered the molecule of Acetaminophen; you were not the one, who took the study on himself by consuming it physically, and risking his kidneys, to study its toxicity? Do you spell out the name of the gentlemen, who invented it, when you prescribe it to your patients? Or do you say, to your patients: Oh please do not thank me!! I was not the one, who discovered that drug; convey you’re thanks to the address of the scientist who created it? On the contrary, you reply, Oh that was a pleasure? As if the patient really wanted a tablet of the drug from you! Then what’s the great deal in talking of something that you have been trained to do? A student of spirituality, sees the world from his frame of mind, while you would see it from your materialistic frame of mind? What scientific right do you have to talk about Karma and relate them to Genes? Do you have any authorative study (Not a group study; but something across various gene pools - to comment that cancer could be due to Genes?) Mere presence of a mutated gene in a patient may be an indicator of a disease, there is nothing as yet, to prove, that gene indeed causes cancer Infact the first line of etiology of Cancer, itself, says (and very logically) that etiology of cancer in unknown The genes in the body may or may not be a cause of Karma, there is nothing to prove or disprove it So how and why are you trying to decry it? Instead of decrying it, you could have actually asked Jagannathji to prove his point? But you chose to decry his thoughts, even without giving it a thought in the scientific manner? No theory is quack theory – unless proved otherwise The incapability of proving ones point – need not necessarily mean that the point is not worthy of being given its due attention. (Remember Darwin and Mendel ; I wont delve in to it?) Has the study of modern science created the feeling in you that no other science is worth its merit? You talk of research, in homeopathy or other science, The research of every other science takes a back seat, because of the miniscule funds being released to it. When your studies come out to be inconclusive? Nobody questions the efficacy of your science, whereas, the failures of other science become a cause to their cessation in the first place. It is expected that therapist of other pathies, come out with a panecea, if they have to prove their merit, whereas modern medicine has the privilege of staying inconclusive, and yet decry other pathies!!! Each practitioners right from Spirituality to the Most Advanced Science, see the world in his own way. None of them, need decry each other, without a proper justification Thanks for your time and patience Best Regards, Ravi Here’s a new way to find what you're looking for - Answers Here’s a new way to find what you're looking for - Answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
