Dont try to decode Ayurveda !

Lots an lots of efforts have been put into (utter vain) to decode the tridosa theory , to put it in modern terms. This is a futile effort and that i think is impossible. Ayurveda itself says it is impossible to find a single bhoota, all elements are pancha bhautic, or for that matter to put it in scientific words, matter exists itself as a pentad, five seeming to exist as a single entity, with a very clear functional demarcation between these five elements. Structurally they are inseparable ! Wow, man.....this idea presents more ingenuity than the story of our hexagon, the benzene ring ! Thats what makes me, an ardent science thinker to the likes of hawking and planck, i mean the interests clearly overlapp, if not the acheivements, you can very well feel that influence of modern rational thinking throughout my writings. To say the truth i was first influenced by the " Gutenberg ", then only the Gita ! But even though that fact remains, the ever growing curiosity of the hindu "aatman" concept has led me into study all sorts of hindu mythologies and enquire about tantras and all that. Its a vast sea . That I dont know sanskrit is one thing i regret in my life that i stand dumb ! Dumb as an ass ! I lost the battle to it, as i have not learnt in my childhood, as an Indian, more than that, as a hindu i ought to know sanskrit, like a muslim needs to know arabic ! Now I can read it as it is in devanagiri lipi, but still by hearting an ayurvedis sloka activates my symphathetic ganglions........woooofff !!!

Coming to the point.........dont be mislead by those system ayurveda and all that stuff. Let system be system and ayurveda be ayurveda. Ayurveda has a logic and a basic know how language, like COBOL .......know that and diagnose accordingly. So i will further in this blog put forward only ayurvedic philosophies of pancha bhoota and tri dosas and discuss only in that perspective or else i am sure i will spread a false information. For me Astanga Hrudaya is enough !
