Ayurveda
“hitaahitam sukham dukhmaayustasya hitaahitam
maanam cha tachh yatroktamaayurvedah sa uchayate”
Ayurveda is combination of two words: Ayush which means life and veda which means knowledge, Hence Ayurveda means ‘Knowledge of Life’. Simply stated, it embodies the art of living life. It provides comprehensive knowledge which should enable one to lead a simple, productive and healthy life. Ayurveda is the science that imparts not just the physical, but also the psychological and spiritual well-being of human as well as other living beings. Ayurveda in Charak Samhita, Maharishi Charak said, “The science, that teaches, us what is good or bad, what causes joy or sorrow, what is the duration and characteristics of life, is Ayurveda. It is evident, that Ayurveda is beneficial not to any specific group of individuals, religion or country, but has Universal significance. Just as life is real, so are the ayurvedic principles and rules.
There are eight general categories of topics in ayurveda.

When a person performs inauspicious deeds on destruction of dhee (brain), dhriti (patience), and smriti (memorizing power), then all the physical and mental defects become irate. These inauspicious deeds are called intellectual offences. One who commits intellectual offences his body and health will suffer and he will be disease struck.
