Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I think we need to be more open to persons who want to learn Ayurveda. It is not in the right spirit of a doctor to critique a person who wants to learn ayurveda. Infact, you can suggest a person with a intent to learn Ayurveda to learn the basics of Ayurveda. He does not have to necessarily go through a 51/2 year course for that! He will then be able to appreciate the science, its practice and practitioners. If the Indian doctors are so much against learning Ayurveda through Distance education, then why dont they protest against the Online Ayurveda courses offered in the US? It is your science that cannot be learnt through distance education, right? In the best interest of Ayurveda Mahesh Krishnamurthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this context author reproduces reply to one of his postings in another group. Since the messages are not "public" there and one becomes member after "approval", this posting is reproduced here. The feelings of U.S. citizen about distance education and online ayurveda is evident: Dear Shirish I have studied Ayurveda and I can assure you that it uses substances processed and uprocessed, natural and man-made, in a greater abundance than anything ever discussed on this list can match in a thousand years. In fact, Ayurveda is a medical system that uses MORE substances, both organic and inorganic, in more combinations and via more methods of administration, than any other medical system on Earth -- more even than the traditional Chinese medicine, and incomparably more than modern Western medicine! Ayurveda uses metals, minerals, powdered gemstones, herbs, oils, animal products, pills, infusions, decoctions, plasters, enemas, emetics, drips, irrigations, hyper- and hypothermia, a vast array of special diets, massage, light and color therapy, music and chant therapy, you name it, it has it and uses it. Now breathing (pranayama) exercises and yoga are part of it, so are assorted spiritual practices (prominently meditation), but it would be a mistake to limit one's health quest to just this or that one fragment of the magnificent whole. The real problem with Ayurveda is, it's just not readily available anymore in its real rather than commercialized mickey-mouse version -- even in India, let alone here.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Dear Elena, Your words "The real problem with Ayurveda is, it's just not readily available anymore in its real rather than commercialized mickey-mouse version --even in India, let alone here." It's true ayurveda is commercialized as along with the globalisation!!!! Don't forget that still there are many physicians and ayurveda centres dedicated and practising according to the age old system of medicine...with full spirit..
