3) How the Origin of Ayurveda plays a vital role?

Origin

• The origins of this system of course are lost in time. In legend it is said to have been
taught by the creator, Brahma, to the Prajapati Daksha, one of the lords of the animals,
who taught it in turn to the divine twins called the Aswins.

• These Aswins are the heavenly healers. They taught Indra, the chief of the shining
ones.

• The personages mentioned were deities of early Vedic times. Dhanvantari is the name
of the physician of the gods.
• Ayurveda is the name, which the ancient Indians gave to the science of life.

• As such, Ayurveda means the science by the knowledge of which life can be
prolonged or its nature can be understood.

• There are four sacred books of India, e.g! Rigveda, Samveda, Yajurveda, and
Atharvaveda.

• These Vedas are believed to be not composed by man but they were taught by the
gods to sages or they were revealed to the sages.
• Ayurveda is a sub-section or Upanga of Atharvaveda.

• Lord Divodasa Dhanvantari to Sushruta, Pauskalavata, Aurabha, Vaitarana and others


revealed the origin of Ayurveda In Susruta-Samhita Lord Dhanvantari is referred to as
the master of Salya Tantra or major surgery.
• Lord Dhanvantari claims to have received the knowledge of Ayurveda from Indra, the
King of gods.

• It is noted down in the sacred books of Ancient Indian Medicine that Brahma first
expounded the Ayurveda to Prajapati. Prajapati taught it to two Aswini Kumars.

• From these twin brothers, Indra studied the subject of Ayurveda and later on from Indra,
the Lord Dhanvantari obtained the knowledge In Susruta-Samhita the origin of medical
science is described as follows:

• Dhanvantari, the King of Banares or Kasi, was sitting in his hermitage, encircled by
sacred sages Susruta addressed Lord Dhanvantari and said, “We are sorry to see men
afflicted by diseases.

• We wish to learn Ayurveda from you to cure diseases of these pleasure-seeking men,
to protect our own bodies, and for the general good of mankind.

• Please do thou teach us this Science of Life.” Lord Dhanvantari replied, “You are
qualified and fit to receive the instructions in Ayurveda.”

• Brahma composed Ayurveda in one hundred thousand slokas and a thousand chapters
