Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes, Liz - I agree wholehearteadly. I find it all a bit pathetic, and certainly detracts from what I would consider the aim of a group mail. This, to me is a learning tool, not a tool to watch people arguing. If one wants to do that can I suggest that it be done in private emails. Claire Lafferty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Isn't there a professional group where these different ideas could be discussed in a more private and professional setting? Lack of professionalism is a prejudice that Ayurveda has to fight anyway so it is clear that all of the contradictory statements that are being made just feed into this. If there aren't any professional discussion groups there should be. I am afraid that if the problem that is revealed on this group is wide spread you would not get many members in a professional discussion group. Many of the practioners on this group have given the impression that every practioner has their own opinion as to what Ayurveda is and how it should be practiced. If this is true then the patient or student is in a very bad situation trying to sort out what is true Ayurveda and what is not. I noticed many years ago that in Kerala every Panchakarma center practices in different ways, even in the same hospital different doctors have different opinions about how to treat any given case. I have never decided if this is good or bad but it is confusing. I also have noticed a lot of jealousy among Ayurveda practioners. These things can only make it more difficult for Ayurveda to establish itself on an equal footing with other medical systems. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 hii, another opinion------- Ayurveda is written in sanskrit and one must study deeply the grammer and related subjects to fully understand it. yet there are definately a number of points where no single conclusion can be made and people have right to think and propose forward. even in Ayurveda itself there are a no.of times discusions were held as to clarify the concept. which means the discussion was still happening at that point of time and Ayurveda says that a science will grow and become more realistic if the discussions are held regularly. each and every Ayurvedaic vaidya has studied the same text but the interpretation can be different. this is not contradictory but healthy. if similar discussion is started in an allopathy/ modern medicine group then we will definately find differences of opinions. so its not only in Ayurveda (as it is painted) that the differences exist. this is a part of scientific growth. the only matter is the " Ego " which is not good for any thing in the life (besides Ayurveda) also for common people to ask personal questions in a group mail is not good as they are bound to get different opinions. pl. do not ask ur private questions in public group (or at least reply to the private email and sort ur query) and do not try to judge Ayurvedic vaidyas and their knoledge. the ultimate aim is to solve the health problem and for that u definately need " FAITH " in ur treating doctor. each vaidya or a doctor is allowed (or has a right) to practice and earn his living. this will definately invite competition and one has prove to be the best. this is so true for each and every field --- so why exclude Ayurveda! Bottom line " Tadvidya Sambhasha " is a need of all times-- that helps to grow the science regards, dr.pankaj ________________ Isn't there a professional group where these different ideas could be discussed in a more private and professional setting? .......

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Bravo Dr. Pankaj!: this is an exelent post, as Lord Krishna says in the Gita, only when we swim across the juglering words of the vedas and their apparent contradictions we will see the light and we call wise among men. Jai Shree Krishna chaived _____________________________ > Ayurveda is written in sanskrit and one must study deeply the grammer and related subjects to fully understand it. yet there are definately a number of points where no single conclusion can be made and people have right to think and propose forward.
