training for those desiring to either become practitioners of

Ayurveda or to extend their skills.

take-home, self-administyered final examination, successful

completion of which will culminate in the award of the Certificate in

Ayurvedic Self-Care & Health Maintenance.

 

This course is the first of a series of programs in Ayurveda that

will take students through intermediate and advanced levels of

proficiency and which will train and certify students as Ayurvedic

health consultants.

 

The course's instructor, Dr. Aparna Bapat, is one of the world's

premier writers, scholars, teachers and practitioners of Ayurvedic

medicine whose work is known in the United States, the United Kingdom

and India. Dr. Bapat is a graduate of the University of Pune Faculty

of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery; is formerly Senior Lecturer at the

College of Ayurveda (London, U.K.).and is presently consultant at the

Respected Vaidyas,

 

If such short term courses are available outside India and the students

are allowed to practice on the strength of their certificates then why

are students not allowed the same facility in India?

 

Such short term courses would benefit those who are past their prime

and also those who wish to know more about the science after being

benefitted by ayurveda. To protect the interests of the practicing

doctors, the short course student could be given a non

practicing "awareness" certificate. This has the benefit of allowing a

person to gain enough knowledge to heal himself and his family from

common ailments.

 

I have written many letters to the concerned authorities in India but

they feel the certificates will be misused. But I think if the

candidates are properly screened then such short term courses will make

ayurveda more popular. Doctors will not have to convince their patients

about the efficacy of ayurveda. The patients too will be able to

understand that real healing may take a little time and that the

reactions of the body as it tries to return to health are good signals

and not side effects.

 

I would request vaidyas to kindly air their views on the matter.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
