Numerous Ayurvedic scholars have been writing books on Shaarira Rachna Vigyana since last five decades and claiming their book content in accordance to the directions of syllabus content of Central Council of Indian Medicine, New Delhi. Every fifth year, the council is constituted with the inclusion of new members and they feel that changing the syllabus will improve the standard of teaching and learning of Shaarira Rachna accommodating the four and half year or 5 year B.A.M.S course. They always try to cut the cloth according to the size of the body whereas sometimes they have also tried to cut the body according to the size of the cloth. These approaches of every changing council have proven suicidal and fatal to the existence of real knowledge of Shaarira Rachna Vigyana and its novel and scientific approach for the betterment of Ayurveda. The expert scholars who are the members of All India Shaarira Research Institute, Lucknow & Ayurveda Shikshana Manadal's Ashtang Ayurveda Mahavidyalay, Pune, felt that this process must get full stop at some point. Therefore they have decided to produce a classical book without following the dictates of any council or any other body. They developed a wish to bring the whole knowledge of Shaarira Rachna at one single platform so that a student of undergraduate, postgraduate or a scholar having the burning desire for learning Shaarira Rachna may get all what is required to fulfill his desire to know.

Therefore the contributors of this book have made a sincere attempt to complete and fulfill the desires for learning Rachna Shaarira. Thus, the book is in the hands of the desiring scholars.
