Forward

Ayurveda deals with an aim of swasthasya swaasthya rakshanam and aturasya vikaara prashamanam. For the fulfilment of both the aims detailed knowledge of sharira is required. Kriya Sharira deals in detail with normal functions of the body. It includes both Ayurveda as well as modern aspects. First year B.A.M.S. student when enters the field of Ayurveda, feels difficulty in understanding Ayurvedic terminologies as well as the prakruta avastha of shareera (physiology). So to make 1st year BAMS student to get appropriate knowledge of Ayurveda kriya Shareera and modern physiology, Dr.Pratibha, Kulkarni, Associate professor, Dept. Of Kriya Shareera and Dr. S.M. Vaidya, Associate professor, Dept. Of Samhita & Siddhanta have brought up a book named “Kriya Shariram”. Shariram”. The book includes both Ayurvedic and modern aspects Kriya Shareeram and prepared as per CCIM syllabus.

The Sharira Kriya Vigyana the most important subject for undergraduate and post graduate courses of Ayurveda. Extensive study of theory and practicals of this subject is very necessary for student of Ayurveda. The works of a physician in all the times is to keep the body (sharira) in healthy state. Study of the subject Kria Shareera is helpful for such.

The book is written in simple English with a new technique. Images and tables are more, which will help a student for quick grasping. I congratulate the authors for their valuable work and hope that they will give such other valuable books to the readers of Ayurveda.
