Dr. Bhardwaj Vikas*, Dr. Sharma Pankaj and Dr. C. Sahana
ABSTRACT
Yoga Darshana and Ayurveda are integral part of each other and harmonize each other. The concepts of Yoga Darshana are selectively integrated in Ayurveda to suit its objectives viz., ‘Swasthya Rakshana‟ (maintaining the healthy state) and „Roga Prashamana (treating the diseased). Majority of the doctrines of Yoga are acknowledged as such, whereas, some are modified as per the necessity of the medical science. Relevance of the concepts of Yoga in concurrence with Ayurveda enhances the curative relevance of both the systems of healing. Ayurveda suggests the appropriate life style commendation for Yoga practice, as well as the environment to clarify the therapeutic potential of all facets of Yoga. It is extremely imperative to integrate Yoga and Ayurveda in order to bring out a supreme holistic healing configuration. Integrating Yoga with Ayurveda adds a spiritual and psychological facet to Ayurvedic treatment modalities, without which Ayurveda turns out to be a sheer materialistic science, devoid of divine and Vedic healing power. Ayurveda lays emphasis on body constitution or body type of an individual (Prakriti) for therapeutic as well as preventive aspects. Prakriti is characterized as expression of an individual in perspective to morphology, physiology, behavior and relation to environment. The implication of Tattvas of Yoga Darshana in Ayurveda finds resemblance in quite a few states of affairs and deviation in others which are elaborated in the editorial and along with this Yoga Asanas according to the explicit creation of a personality is touched upon in this critique.
Keywords: Yoga, Darshana, Ayurveda, Darshana, Prakriti.
