Ashtanga Hridaya by Dr.R.Vidhyanath

Overview of ashtanga hridaya sutrasthana book pdf download in English

Ashtanga Hridayam is an ancient book of life and medical texts that summarizes Ayurvedic teachings, the Indian Science of Life. It was written by Vagbhata a Vedic of Kashmir about the 6th century AD.

There were earlier masterpieces in Ayurveda (Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita) but Vagbhata - whose name means 'Hero with names' - found them much better and harder to study.

He decided to compile and present their theme in 7120 verses in Sanskrit (Sutras) that are easily understood, can be memorized (compared) easily by doctors. When faced with a medical problem, they would recall and recite the appropriate Sutra, and use it to help their patient.

Ashtanga in Sanskrit means 'eight parts' and refers to eight parts of Ayurveda. General Medicine, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, Ear-Nose - & - Throat, Surgery, Toxicology, Geriatrics and Aphrodisiac therapy.

According to Vagbhata, 85% of diseases can be cured without a doctor; only 15% of diseases require a doctor.

Ashtanga Hridaya is very large. Happily Vagbhata wrote it in the order of its importance. The first Sutra is very important. The first chapter is very important. So I have written songs based on only the first four chapters.

My songs emphasize the prohibition preached by Vagbhata. Prevention is the best treatment. Daily and seasonal regimes are key to this.
