Namaskaram…
Ayurveda is the oldest health-care system known to human being since time immemorial. Historically “Bharat” (India) become the geographical place to develop this knowledge begins from Himalayas, later diffused to all over the world. Hence, Ayurveda is the mother of all health-care systems in the world as it influenced in the development of almost all Medical Systems globally. There are hundreds of traditional healthcare systems in the different parts of the world influenced by Ayurveda crediting/ non crediting its linkage. Currently Ayurveda is one of the official/ legalised Medical Systems in India diffused all over the world. Ayurveda inspired many stalwarts in the other medical field too and they propagated in various countries in last two centuries.
As Ayurveda originated in India, it has close linkage with its own contemporaryry knowledge systems ( Yoga, Nyaya, Vaiseshika,Sankhya, Vedanta etc) and exchanged many concepts/ ideas too. Hence, learners of Ayurveda also been inspired to know these knowledge systems for better understanding and clarifying the concepts. Ayurveda visualize complete Health Care model through various Lifestyle changes, diet correction, self control besides disease management. Seekers of Ayurveda inclined to learn many self-care approaches for a stable state of body mind continuum which is the primary quality of Making a Vaidya (a clinician/ physician-par-excellence).
Making a Vaidya is a continuous effortful, learn-to-learn, evolutionary process between student-teacher-nature. Here in Ashtamgam we visualises a campus Viswamithra (eco-friendly) which helps every learner/ seeker to have an opportunity to have a continuous connectivity with the teacher and nature. This makes a student to identify self, reshape the mind, re-modify the behaviour, sharpen the intellect and connect to the self. Learning in Ashtangam is an unusual continuous progressive proactive process of making a Vaidyawhere gender, religion, caste, social and economical identity disappears.
Making a Vaidya happens only through such continuous process and its a team work with purest intention with support of great masters. We are fortunate to have blessed by many legends and receiving support and blessings continuously. We focus on developing a Vaidya – a being with great human touch with high compassion utmost sincerity with support of timeless tradition behind. We try to inculcate all possible traditional wisdom from any part of the world and trying to link with the contemporary need and meet the expectations of health seeking society. We wish we could able to bring the best buds for the nature and the nature (society) could able to use these buds for the betterment of future health care system.
We are in the process of budding Vaidyas for global needs (Vishwavaidyanirmiti).
We need whole hearted support and blessing from all.
