Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 With respect to gati and Dr. Lad's use of it as pulse terminology it gives the idea that one has to know the unique expression of VPK through the pulse of each pathology. This mans that the feel of the pulse for diabetes is different than the feel of the pulse in a patient of emphysema, for example. It's used also to give expression to pushing and blocking of and by the doshas in multi-doshic imbalances (sannipata and samsarga). This nuance of pulse is useful in the latter case in that the causative dosha is identified as well as the effected dosha(s), which then become causative of imbalance too. As for the first case above, this feature/meaning places great emphasis on having a vast pulse experience to know the different diseases just by the gati. Mike > > 1c.
