Teaching basics of Ayurveda in Schools

[Guest guest]

A lot of people want to learn about ayurveda, but the general thinking is that

this is something which can be done in a few hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon or

better still by reading some books.

I have contacted many schools in my vicinity offering them a lecture in

ayurveda. There is very good enthusiasm at the start. We will do this, we will

do that. But ultimately it comes to nothing. Apparently they have more serious

matter to take care of.

 

Another factor which is a stumbling block is that each person or organisation

thinks that this is a novel idea and try to start from scratch. Also the thought

that an ayurveda doctor should be consulted does not even arise. A lot of work

has been done (without much success due to a variety of reasons) which needs to

be evaluated and carried on further.

 

If you are located in Goa and are serious about your work I can suggest you some

ayurvedic doctors who can help.

Also you can contact Ayurveda Seva Sangh, Nashik who have a monthly publication

called Ayurved Patrika (ayupatra). The Feb 1996 issue of the same

was a special edition dealing with the topic of " Ayurveda in School Syllabus "

(shaleya abhyaskramat ayurved). Get a copy of the same. You will get much

material to work on.

Lastly wishing you all the best in your endevour.

If you want to do the same work anywhere in or near Mumbai please feel free to

contact me.

First think we must prepare some books suitable for primary section/Secondary

Section on Ayurved.

 

Fix some syllabus. Create some awareness at school level. Holding exhibition of

Medicinal plant and their medicinal value.

Thank you Vd. S.M.Shirodkar,

 

I met Dr. Mrinal Joshi today who is working with Govt. Health services for last

15 years.

 

I feel that we should write some street plays, one act plays, stories in

relation to Ayurved to make it known to people.

 

We are working to do one documentary on Ayurved.

 

We will be doing regular program on alternative medicine here in Goa.

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much, we need much more of this. I think on the same lines.

director. If thinks work out well we may come out with a film with base as

ayurved.

We need to spread more and more awareness in all stratas of society.

A very glamorous looking friend came to condole my husband's death and I was

narrating to them how his shrunk kidneys had come back to normal with ayurvedic

treatment. This was 25 days before he died all his functions were absolutely

normal, but once he went to the hospital and the doctors there told me that

because of the strong doses he has had a multiple organ failure. all the organs

that were functioning so well collapsed just in 2 days. After hearing all this

sha told me that ayurvedic medicines are so strong so that must have caused the

failure. Her words against the doctor's own. Another was a mali who suffered

from diahrrea. I asked him to have isabgol and curds but he said memsab we

cannot do with out English medicines and injections.

your  thought of making a stritplay is good.pl make a skript on swasthvrutta.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

  This is a very good idea as we have teach basic ideas to kids.Or we may end up

in histroy books.

   Why can`t the renowed vaidays recomend education dept. to have lesson on

ayurveda in schools.

Getting this information into the family home is likely to result in the

continued application of Ayurvedic practices of the future.  Target

audiences being young moms/families - as they generally provide the basic daily

patterns that shape the next generations lives, the choices they make.  School

can perhaps provide some benefit but the young person will generally opt for the

applied knowledge of homelife into their adulthood.  Are you looking at an

elementary or high school(ages 14+) for your target audience?

It is said that you teach a mother ,you teach the whole family. I would suggest

to make a programme for the mothers. Whereby the whole family should be taught.

Children will pick up automatically.These can be the grassroot mothers or the

high flying ones as none of them may know .whereas the grannies the servants and

the tribals may know more. Even I do not know much but I do know that there are

some foods that should not be taken together and that water should not be taken

after fruits or that curds are best avoided after noon. etc.
