A fundamental study of the Science of Life vs. Death w.s.r. to Indriya Sthana

Abstract

Having a long, vice-free life is seen as a great blessing by many people, especially those who idealize Ayurveda. With this if we find out how long we have left to live or when we will pass away then it seems very pleasant and amazing. It can appear magical to the common man but through the lens of Ayurveda it becomes plausible. Ayurvedic principles provide a comprehensive understanding of the different aspects of life, including the causes and symptoms of aging, as well as ways to maintain good health and treat disorders through wellness practices and therapy. While clearly describing the examination of Kumar Ayu in Sharer Sthana and of the remaining Ayu in Indriya Sthana, a detailed explanation has been presented on the fundamentals and applied aspect of science of life in Sharer Sthana and science of death in Indriya Sthana. It is not possible to achieve meaningful longevity without analyzing the causes of death. Changes in the natural expressions of the body are considered to be Arishta. Arishta can provide time-bound knowledge of death as well as its causes. The absence of the same symptoms that give knowledge of death, provides the knowledge of life. If the Varnadi Parikshya Bhaavas placed in Purush has a clearly articulated Arishta it is impossible to avoid that Arishta. One can view death in a positive light and by thoroughly examining and managing the situation patient, their families, doctors, and hospitals can reduce stress on the healthcare system and save time and money during pandemics like COVID-19. By studying and utilizing Indriya Sthana or Arishta Vigyaan doctors can gain more knowledge and increase their efficiency.
