heavey metals, link with hindu religion, vidhyasagar

[Guest guest]

Siddha and ayurveda systems are similar,both use

metals , minerals,as important medicine.

navapashana are mercury ,arsenic compounds.

navaloga are different metals like gold, silver ,

copper ,white lead , black lead ,zinc iron , magnet,

bronze etc.

minerals like , mica, borax, alum, many calcium items,

shilajat and many mineral bhasma are used.

navarathina like pearl. corallum rubrum are

extensively used .

gem stones of all gems are also used as bhasmas.

These are all non herbal medicine widely in practice

also a major portion of Indian system.

All are required for effective control of disease.

 

wide range of animal produce are also used like ,

musk, amber , gorojan , deer horn , elephant teeth are

also made bhasmas.

Thousands of plant material also in use.

 

all greate masters used all these formulations

also most vaithiyas are using them with good success

rate.

 

modern scientists tested some raw material and

claiming them as toxic.

but in practice we physicians does not come across any

ill effects so we dis agree with modern people.

 

our masters are great people in principle we

physicians accept their teachings

 

 

in all Hindu temples the main deity, all deities are

installed by fixing a gold or copper chakara at their

base and secondly a nava pashana medicine called

Astbandana medicine is pasted at the base of all

idols.

 

this medicine was prescribed by dhanvanthri.

bandan means binding;

if you bind one grain mercury , you will become sprit

is the theory.

every twelve year once the temples should be reno

vated and new asta bandana should be changed is the

agama.

 

pouring milk on deity carries trace amounts of these

medicine and become Divine medicine and believed to be

curring disease.

 

in tamil nadi palani is a important temple one nava

pashana murugan idol was installed by a siddhar

called Bogar.

This idol is very fmous for its curative effects.

panchamirtha fruit jam is pasted up o idol and given

to devotees as divine medicine.

as the idol has become very slim now government

stopped the practice of fruit jam abisheka.

In all Siva temples bilva tree is planted as divine

tree

apart from that a rare medicinal tree also planted as

divine tree and worshiped by devotees.

the Indian medical system and religion all inter

linked very much

it is tradition to use cinna bar as divine medicine.

and my opinion is the teachings of ancient masters

is well experienced and knowledged guidelines and I

accept their teachings only.

R.Vidhyasagar.

Yes, this is exactly correct.

There is a misconception that ayurvedahas evolved.

I do not necessarily feel this way.

I fel it i a divine science which came at the time of creation.

If we fel that creation started with Sathya yuga then we must accept that the

beings who came at the start of creation were God like or God's on earth who

came to start life on the planet.

They were enlightened being who knew the secret (it has become a secret

because we have fallen into darknes) of nature.

When we look at all Hindu festivals they ar all linked with nature.

We ahve for example tosets of navaratris that are largely celebreated in

India.

These navaratris fall at times when panchakarma would be beneficial - so we

fast for nine days to cleanse the body.

We worship mother Goddess in the fall and prepare ourselves to go into the

cave of meditation - the divine womb during the dakshinayana months we prepare

ourselves for arkness noot in a neagtive way, but focus our entire lives for

those nine days on Devi this nine days prepares us for the months of cold and

darkness.

Then in the spring we clelbreate new life again nine days of fasting in the

spring to cleanse the body after winter and ninth day is celebreated as Ram

Janam and marriage of sita ram.

So for the six months of cold and darkness we are focusing inward, trying ro

get rid of our bad qualities try to kill our ego (mahishasura) and at the end of

that six months we are united with god (Sira ram Kalyanam) we are born as God

(ramanavami).

When we look in detail at everyfestival we realize that these festivals are

indeed very poetic and mystical and not just silly tribal parties.

If we think of ayurveda and siddha as divine arts given from God we will

understand that it is us who are fallen and not the medicinal systems which are

flawed.

But, it is true that if we do not fall to the letter the instructions gien by

the masters we can err - not the sciences.

Nowadays people try ot take shortcuts in preparing medicine - but if we do not

know why each step was done we can not edit any step.

We are in a stag of darkness coming out of kali yuga so we can expect that due

to human ignorance there can be harm - this is not due to sacred sciences

though.

Hi Mandy,

 

I resonate with what you have to say. However one point that comes to

my analytical mind is that we no longer have the original Ayurvedic

Texts. We do have Caraka Samhita which is the oldest translation

available today, but you need to realise that this text is simply a

commentary on the original texts and not the original itself. It also

needs to be recognised that some Ayurvedic medicines, as in the ones

that we have been discussing are not from the ancient Ayurveda you speak

of, or from the God like people of the Sathya yuga but rather from the

authors who experimented in the Kali Yuga, around a 1,000 years ago.

 

Even so, I respect the works of these people, although as a student I do

believe it is wise to question everything that is placed in front of us

until we do know, through our own experience the truth (however

relative) of the matter. Time has a habit of distorting wisdom and

knowledge.

 

I appreciated your contribution.

 

Namaste

John
