A Comprehensive Study For Ayurvedic Competitive Examinations

Description

A Comprehensive Study For Ayurvedic Competitive Examinations Ayurveda is the science of life. It may be considered as a scientific literature as the basic principles of Ayurveda, which had-been put forward thousand of years ago, still have the same values. They have not undergone any change revealing they are very true and scientific. Our predecessors had proposed these principles after a very long experience. Since that time, Ayurveda has been serving the suffering humanity continuously. In Ayurveda, it has been mentioned that both ‘Loka’ and ‘Puruşa’ have the same basic structure. Its simple meaning is that if ‘Loka’ is doing well, ourselves also. If any derangement takes place in ‘Loka’ than our body will also be deranged. Ayurveda is said to be a holistic phenomenon because it treates the patient as a whole.

Moreover, Ayurveda has given more attention towards pre- ventive aspects of the diseases, not curative. In the ancient time, Ayruveda was on exaltation but as time passed it started dete- riorating. During the period of Buddha, Indian surgical proce- dures were heavily deteriorated. The surgeons were termed as ‘Asura’. The surgery at that time was nothing but horror. In the Moughal and British period Ayurveda again deteriorated. Un- fortunately, till now, we are not being able to globalize the Ayurveda due to lack of standardization of Ayurvedic drugs and few administrative problems.

After the independence Indian government realized the importance of Ayurveda. The attention of government towards Ayurveda has given a slow but gradual progress of this know- ledge. Several institutions, colleges, research centers had been started. The governing bodies like CCIM and CCRAS had also been established. In this series postgraduate courses came into existence in several colleges and institutes. Thereafter, students started to attract towards Ayurveda and the increasing number of students created the trend of competitive examinations for P.G. Entrance, Medical officer screening, JRF and others.

For the above examinations, the study material currently available is inadequate and not comprehensive. The student has to study all the reference books every time. It requires more energy and more time in relation to yielding. To overcome the above problems, I have tried to prepare a classified, scientific and comprehensive study material for better yielding and accomplished it in the shape of book. The problems I have encountered during the preparation of P.G. entrance test induced me to write the book. I have tried to simplify the things and classified the subject for better remembering.

The book consists of general study of all the subjects of Ayurvedic syllabus, multiple choice questions based upon subjects and 30 model test papers of 100 questions each. The questions of model test papers have been taken from different entrance examinations of several institutes/colleges and P.S.C. of the country. The concise study of modern medicine is also provided in the book as annexure.
