View Large Image By  Dr.P.M.Sharma  


The human body is divided into three parts, 1- the physical body (panch -mahabhutatmak deham), 2, psych (mann), and 3-The soul (Atma). This combination makes a human being the chikitsiya-purush, that means is the combination of above-mentioned three stuffs make a human being suitable for treatment. The body and psych are treatable, but the soul cannot be treated because, a soul is supposed to be the materialization of all mighty BRAHM (or the supernatural being) the super power of cosmos. The treatments of the somatic problems (either psychological or psychiatric) cannot be sometime possible without combination of ayurveda and yoga or some time we cannot achieve early and maximum relief. The same thing applies with the physical maladies.
Charak writes in his book the Charak sahita, (shaareersthan chap I, shloka 138-139) “happiness and melancholy arises because of the contact of soul, sensory and working organs (gyanendriya and karmendriya), Mann or psyche and objective subject. When they altogether come in the contact of each other only then the complete awareness immerges”. Mann is supposed to be a dual (sensory and functional organ) indri (the organ). There for it called as ubhay indri while ubhay stands for dual. Control on Mann is very mandatory; the yoga is the best way to obstacle the evil or harm full activities of consciousness. These evil activities are the cause of sorrows, pains and illness, crimes and unlawful behavior. The Vidya or awareness is the instrument that can stop the injurious motivations of Mann.
The true Vidya or correct and suitable information is that provides you the pain in beginning stage, but after the achievement of Vidya it gives a perennial cheerfulness for long existence for example a doctor receives so many uncomfortable life during the period of studying years but after being a doctor he receives the admiration, money, appreciations and blessings. But Avidya (the antonyms of the Vidya,) provides the cheerfulness in beginning, but after some time it endow with the illnesses, sorrow for complete life. In support of example, if some one visits the prostitutions regularly, he can suffer with venereal diseases or even deadly HIV\AIDS manifestations. Ayurvedic-yogic combo is on your keyboard so that we can provide you that how it can serve the mankind.

YOGA: --
The “ yog or yoga” is a Sanskrit word that stand for 1. Totality and sum, 2-The joining together or association or something parallel meaning word. Rishi Patanjali presented the illustration of systematic yoga firstly. Even though it was mentioned in various texts as well as in Vedas.
Rishi Patanjali defines the yoga in his book the yoga darshan that is as follows.

“YOGASHCHITVRITTINIRODH” (chap. -1, shloka 2 of rishi Patanjali’s the Yoga-darshan).

Here is the simplification of the shloka word by word: -
YOGA--- the yoga
CHITTA ---- the psyche, the power of thinking, the mind-stuff.
VRITTI --- functions
NIRODH. --- To organize, or to bring under control, to obstruct.
Yoga is restraining (NIRODH) the chitta (the psyche) from various forms of its activity (VRITTI).

We have to understand that what is chitta and what are the vritti. Before understand these objects, this is compulsory to seek out first the equations between body, chitta and it vrittis.
To make it more comprehensive, we take here a model first, a student, who is attending his class. The teacher is tutoring any lesson with full interest; the student is indulging in other issue, which is presently not related with the lecture of the class. The student will not obtain whatsoever from the subject matter of the lecture.
Why? Student is absolutely healthy, he could listen everything because he had a healthy hearing system in his body. Actually student was sitting in the class, but physically, and on other hand, psychologically he was present somewhere else at the same time.
In consequence his mind-stuff and his auditory system were not in contact with each other at that point in time, he must to be present in the class psychologically plus physically, however, he wasn’t. As a result he had to lose the education. Now this your turn to give an appropriate reason for, what was the wrong with student at that time? My answer is, due to above point out goings-on concerning his psyche, he could not accomplish from the class because his center of brain was not responding to his hearing system and as a result he could not acquire anything from the teacher.
This was a sort of chitta-vritti. This is a kind of destructive or evil activity or vritti of Mann, or chitta. And yoga is to bring under control these unproductive and injurious activities or vrittis or mano-vrittis.
There are five sensory-organs in our body; these five organs are called as GYAN-INDRIYAS Vedic language. They are here with there objects of senses: -
[Name of organ…]
[Subject of sense]
1. The GRAAHAN indri (organ for smell)………… organ to Smell, odor, aroma the nose.
2. The SHRAVAN indri (the auditory system)……….organ that is to hearing. The ears.
3. The RASANEN indri (the taste system)………………..The organ for taste the tongue.
4. DARSHAN-indri (the seeing system)………………..the organ to see or view, the eyes
5. The SPARSH-indri (the system to touch)…………….the organ to feel, the skin.

Lord Krishna says in the Shri mad bhagwat geeta that we are as if the rider of a chariot and the Indriyas or indris are as if horses as well as the chitta or the mind-stuff is as if the bridle. If you would loss the control then horse type indris will do the same, as their lust will regulate. This freedom might be prove injurious to you, therefore tug the rein properly so that you can move your indris according to your objects of life and they are beyond doubt, the tranquility, prosperity, education, health, success and moksha. In my forth coming articles we will learn more.
