Preface Ayurveda, the science of life, is one of the most primordial health knowledge based on the concepts of philosophy as well as having scientific background. Of late scholars of Ayurveda have found it complicated to correlate the principles of Ayurveda with the philosophical views articulated by our intellects. Associating the concepts with philosophical background and implementing them in therapeutics has been the bane of today's clinical practice. All what is said with philosophical background as well as other principles, have very sound and healthy scientific background. The only matter of concern is, our not understanding them, in a way what we should have implied.

Current scenario is that the scholars do not comprehend the application of philosophical concepts in terms of therapeutics, which has been the concern of Ayurveda faculty. Every word revealed in Samhitas, whether having philosophical background or otherwise is based on experiences of our sages who had extraordinary sense faculties to perceive the unseen minute things. This book is written with the aim to show the way to the students of Ayurveda to start observing and understanding the concepts in a scientific manner.

The journey of writing the book was very encouraging and we gained a lot in understanding the way one should examine the texts thoroughly and have strong belief that whatever is written in Samhitas is a factual knowledge.

We are indebted to our Gurus and mentors who had been by our side in every step we have taken to write and present this book in front of you.
