Abstract

Sadvritta is a very important principle of Ayurveda and thus plays vital role in prevention of diseases and promotion of all aspects of health. Acharya Caraka has prescribed a list of good conduct which is very necessary to follow if we want to control the sense organ and to obtain perfect health. Sadvritta give the detail knowledge about “what to do?” What should not to?” and “how to live?” Following the codes of right conduct described in Ayurveda is highly effective in reducing the life disorders and helps to live healthy life. Sadvritta is principle of ethics of every field. These are the rules and regulations designed by Aptapurusha which have Satvik mental constitution, and so, if followed properly, always end with positive results. Concentration of Tri-Guna is variable in different mental constitutional personalities like fingerprints. But contrary to fingerprints, it can be changed by repeated thoughts and activities with respective Guna. As Satvaguna is increased in mental constitution, intellectual power is increased in any individual. Also, the capability of thinking and reaction in different circumstances and in different parts of society is also improved and always ends with positive results. It is the aim and basic principle behind Sadvritta. The principle of Sadvritta is more significant in current era as ranking of corruption, crime, terrorism, tendency of suicide, violent behaviour, friction in families, decreased human values, etc. have increased, as well as, there seems no chance for improvement in its current situation.
