2. Encrypted Ayurveda to
Decrypted Evidence
Ayurveda is an observational
knowledge of ancient Indian scientists
contribution expanded with eight
branches of healing nature.
It is the jinx of Ayurveda, even
though crunched in many problems,
limping to establish its existence in the
healing world

3. Encrypted Ayurveda to
Decrypted Evidence
Ayurveda is said to be encrypted by
the authors as many invaders robed
the precious wealth of India and also
intellectuality of Indians
It is the time for decryption of
Ayurveda to be done & the evidences
has to be shown in front of the
scientific community

4. Ayurveda is not old
it is the fact of ever told
The traditional way of learning Ayurveda is 1: 6
ratio of teacher student from ancient times eg:
Agnivesha etc are 6, Susruta etc are 6
Knowledge of Ayurveda is transferred initially as
clinically and practically to the student directly by
the teacher at those times
Presently Ayurveda losing its glaze under –
lack of student teacher communication,
Insufficient infrastructure and
No-confidence promoting curriculum

6. Ayurveda - Current Status
Indian way of living is Ayurveda –
It starts from kitchen
Ayurveda is just not a method of
medicine; it is a way of healthy living
Ayurveda is the child of God &
God of creation
Ayurveda cares “ALL” round the clock
Ayurveda has not only eyes but also
heart

7. Current Status
Present day noise proves nothing but
disturbs the health
Curse of heath –
Cured with Ayurvedic wealth
Better living as healthy Beggar
Than diseased Emperor
Health is not just for body
It is for the Mind and Soul too

8. Medical Sanskrit &
Vedic Physics & Vedic Chemistry
The Sanskrit is – either seen –
“Vedic Sanskrit” or “Kavya Sanskrit”
But no Medical Sanskrit
Student comes from 10+2 level of Meacale’s
educational methods
Physics and chemistry are the fundamentals
of any science
Why in Ayurveda - Vedic Biophysics and
Vedic Biochemistry & Vedic Biology were not
taught

9. Reforms at Graduation (BAMS)
Vedic Physic, Vedic Chemistry and Vedic
Biology to utilise them in Nidana
Practice, Rasashastra and Dravyaguna
respectively is necessary.
No more Samhita required for study
But the principles are separated and
taught
Medical Sanskrit and Itihasa in Sanskrit
language taught as -
Sanskrit-Itihasa together taught as one
paper
doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 9

10. Reforms at Graduation (BAMS)
Conflictive, confusing, non-
communicative language and
unnecessary Sanskrit implications along
with unworthy English translations
should be taken out.
Phyto-chemistry & contemporary values
are brought forward in herbal medicine
Many more such unnecessary irrelevant
topics are dismissed from curriculum
doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 10

11. PG curriculum restructuring
2005 recommendations of the CCIM
made enormous modifications for PG
curriculum expanding the branches
Many recommendations are made to
flourish the Ayurvedic glory
The implementation of modifications
are not seen in many areas
doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 11

12. Limitations and regulations of each
branch should be demarcated
specifically in PG subjects
Problems of the PG departments
should be periodically sorted and
solved
Clumsy syllabus should be expanded
to justify the need of student along
with limitations & Interference of
Teacher

13. Revelation starting –
But not conclusion
Ayurveda is not a back door entry to
become doctor to practice medicine
Curriculum has to take a specified
diversion either Samhita oriented or
subject oriented
Introduction of Vaidya Sanskrit
(scientific medical) is the need
Not to send student to stand at cross
roads
doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 13

14. Introduction of fundamental subjects
as discussed
Ayurveda made easy for all
Developing the scientific attitudes in
Ayurveda is present days task
Propagation of true scientific values
of Ayurveda is necessity
Researching for “fast relief”
Medicines in Ayurveda is alternative
doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 14

15. Present trends are bad to worst Ayurveda
rises every one’s trust
Adopting Ayurveda is of our future
God loves the just - Who loves the health
If we do not rouse at this jiffy, the world
will move front, leaving us behind.
That’s it for that the entire saga
