Description

A Text Book Of Ayurvedic Physiology Ayurveda is the science of life, explained by our ancient saints on three basis ie 1) Yogic base, 2) Poetic base, 3) Logical base. This makes very difficult to understand the Ayurveda. All the Ayurvedic scripts are in Devanagiri script. Because of globalization and liberalisation english language acquired major portion of the world. It is a time to speak Ayurveda in a language accepted by the major portion of the world. This inspired me to write a book on Sharir Kriya Vijnana in English language being Prof. and HOD of the Dept. It has, therefore been designed to help the both UG and PG students by its clear ideas about the subject.

This book is primarily aimed to serve the needs of the existing era students, the scope of comparison of modern science with Ayurvedic concepts. Hence the author has included modern science portion in this book considering the high magnitude of its necessary to understand Ayurveda.

The science which deals with the normal functions of the body i.e. Kriya Sharir क्रिया प्रतिपादकं शारीरं क्रिया शारीरं here we came across with another word शारीरं i.e. शरीरं अधिकृत्य कृतो ग्रन्थ शारीरं. – अरुण दत्ता। The scripte knowledge about the body either physiological or anatomical aspect is called as Shaariram. The word Sharir is also originated from the Sanskrit – शरीर-शिर्यते अनेन इति शरीरं।

The structure in which Pakakarma takes place by the different types of Agni is called as Sharira. Here Pakakarma is compared with metabolism which involves two process (1) catabolism (destructive process) and that is replaced by (2) anabolism (constructive process) continuously in every minute i.e. called as Sharir.
