The knowledge of Ayurveda is essential for the proper
illumination of knowledge. A Bhishaka who is bestowed with the dual
iv Textbook of Padārtha Vijñāna and History of Āyurveda
qualities of his own intelligence and the knowledge of the science can
lead to the successful treatment of diseases.
At this juncture, I am heart fully thankful to all those who have directly or
indirectly helped me accomplish this highly intellectual activity.
The first obeisance is to the almighty as without his will the inspiration for
this work and sweet feeling of accomplishment cannot be imagined. The dream
of authoring a book couldn’t be turned into a reality without the support of the
divine.
The completion of the work is dedicated to my father late Shri Prakash
Chandra Dadu and living legend my mother, Smt. Pushpa Devi who taught me to
tread the path of honesty and perseverance as the guiding principles of life.
I take this opportunity to pay my vote of thanks to my teachers and mentors
especially Prof. Ram Babu Dwivedi, Prof. Mahesh Vyas and Dr. Hitesh Vyas for
their guidance and making me realize my true potential.
I offer my sincere thanks to Prof. Mahesh Vyas for penning the foreword of
this edition.
The staff of Government Akhandanand Ayurveda College, Ahmedabad has
showered upon me their good wishes and support for the completion of the task. I
thank them all.
My special thanks to the Basic Principles department of the college, the
HOD Dr. Harish Purohit, Dr. Anil Kumar, Dr. Swati Ben Shah and my colleague
and a family friend Dr. Manmohan Gupta for their very exceptional assistance.
I offer my sincere apology to my better half Vaishali and son Kovid as the
toil and dedication towards the completion of this text has taken a lot of time out
of their quota. I thank them for their support and assistance.
At the end, I thank the Scientific Publishers (India), Jodhpur for their kind
co operation and in time publication.
Thank you one and all.
So, keeping all these factors in mind, with the sole aim of qualitative
education with the utilitarian approach that enables a Āyurveda entrant (BAMS
first year student) to comprehend Āyurveda fundamentals, this book entitled –
‘TEXTBOOK OF PADĀRTHA VIJÑĀNA AND HISTORY OF
ĀYURVEDA’ has been designed that covers the complete syllabus of Padārtha
Vijñāna paper I and II as implemented by the Central Council of Indian
Medicine, New Delhi. So, this book is going to be of great utility for the
Ayurveda Scholars across the length and breadth of the nation and abroad.
Although a number of textbooks are available in the market regarding this
subject, this is an effort to produce a qualitative work with brevity of words but
presenting the true significance of the basic principles of Āyurveda.
Also, this is the first attempt of the author to pen his vision regarding the
basics of Āyurveda which makes him prone to make some inadvertent mistakes
for which he pleads an apology and requests for suggestions for the rectification
of such errors as there is always a scope of betterment.
Thanking you one and all.
