Traditional - Modern - Alternative dhanvantaris ca bhagavan svayam eva kirtir


namananrnam puru rajam nija asu hanti
yajne ca bhagavan amrtayur avavaraundha
ayusya vedam anasasty avatirya loke "Bhagavan Dhanvantari very quickly cures the diseases simply by
His fame, awarding long life to the devas sharing in sacrifices. He inaugurated the medical science in this
world."

The Vedas are the source of all knowledge. Thus all knowledge of medical science is there in the Vedas
for the perfect cure of all the diseases. By the grace of the Lord, not only are diseases of the body and
mind cured but also the soul is liberated from the cycle of repeated birth and death.

The Vedas have a holistic approach in presenting the medical system, viz :

(a) The living being is constitutionally eternally healthy. (b) The very construction of the body by the
material elements is a block or diseased condition. (c) By unconstitutional or unnatural behavior, the
constitution of the body is imbalanced resulting in countless diseases. (d) By understanding the
constitution of the body - both physical and psychic - and living a natural constitution life, one can, by
the grace of the lord, prevent many diseases, easily cure many diseases, and ultimately become free from
birth, death, old age and disease. On the other hand, the modern medical systems which are based on
materialistic, speculative science do not account for the soul at all. Acclaimed as based on scientifically
verifiable concepts and boosted up by ongoing, cleverly documented research the modern medical
systems try to use unknown methods and medicines to treat the unknown conditions of the ailing
patients. These so-called remedies could easily bring death closer or create many new chronic problems,
which can be worse, than the original sickness.

Apart from the misuse of the medical sciences by the commercially motivated industries, the very
foundation of the modern method is wrong due to lack of knowledge of the what, how and why
factors about the suffering individual.

The modern scientific disciplines manufacture knowledge through locally constructed representational
systems and practical devices for making their discovered phenomenon visible, accountable and
consensual to a larger disciplinary body of tradition. The modern medical systems suffer from this
credible knowledge that is situated in an intersection between gross physical locales and self-centered
social conditions.

Due to the deadly expensive and no guarantee remedies with myriads of side effects, the modern
medical systems have certainly taught us a lesson that the age old concept of holistic health is the real
key for long and healthy life. All over the world now, there is a great interest and inquisitiveness for
alternative system of treatment.
