AYURVEDA = AYUS+VEDA

Ayus means life and Veda means knowledge.

Prayer to Dhanvantari (The Lord of Ayurveda):

"One who bears in his attractive four hands conch, circular weapon, a set of leeches and a pot with ambrosia, whose fine, shining and pure upper garment makes him appear especially wonderful, whose eyes are like lotus flower, whose bright bodily luster is of the colour of a fresh rain cloud, whose beautiful waist is adored by a magnificent yellow dress and who burns away all diseases just like a forest fire, to such Lord Dhanvantari, I bow respectfully”

General

Ayurveda Applications is the oldest and the most developed life-science   of natural healing in the world. Life is the outcome of the union of physical body (sharir), sense organs (indriyas), psyche (manas) and soul (atman). Ayurveda Applications is not merely a system of healing, but an entire way of life that aims to bring about the perfect balance of the entire personality - body, mind and spirit. Ayurveda Applications is based on the theory of Tridosha or the three biological forces - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Diseases arise when there is an imbalance among the three doshas, and the aim of the therapy is to bring about the required equilibrium in the manner of living.

Life, as an integration of body, sense organs, mind and soul, is in perpetual movement. Life is what goes, on and on.  On its stability depend our conscious efforts to protect and preserve it. We are concerned with the span and quality of life. The tie-up of this combination should remain strong, and all should work in perfect coordination. For this one should study and know all subtle branches of knowledge concerning man and the universe.  Whatever there is in the macrocosm, so is in the microcosm! 

Essentially all living beings are represented by macrocosms in the universe. The sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the seas, the rivers, the mountains, the rains, etc are all represented in one from or the other in the bodies of all living beings.

Ayurveda Applications is the eternal wisdom of the ancient sages who received this science as the divine blessing. This wisdom is based on the perfect wholeness of cosmic consciousness experienced through spiritual introspection and meditation.

The epistemological background of Ayurveda Applications is mainly provided by the philosophies of the Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimansa and Vedanta. This is concerned with 24 categories which are considered primarily responsible for creation of the universe. They are Prakriti (Primordial nature), Mahat (Intellect), Ahankara  (sense of individuality or ego-self identification),Manas (Mind), the five sense organs, the five motor organs, the five subtle Tanmatras {atomic forms of ether, air, fire, water and earth -the shabda (sound), sparsha (touch), roopa (vision), rasa (taste) and gandha (smell) respectively} and the five Gross Elements (space, air, fire, water and earth).
