Welcome to the Samhita Siddhanta & Sanskrit Department
At the heart of Ayurvedic learning, the Samhita Siddhanta & Sanskrit Department plays a vital role in preserving and imparting the ancient knowledge of Ayurveda, rooted in sacred texts and traditional wisdom. Our department is dedicated to teaching students the profound principles of Samhita Siddhanta, the foundational theories of Ayurveda, and Sanskrit, the language that carries the essence of these ancient manuscripts.
About Samhita Siddhanta
Samhita Siddhanta refers to the core principles and doctrines found in the Ayurvedic texts known as Samhitas, including the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridayam. These texts encompass the complete knowledge of Ayurvedic principles—diagnosis, treatment, preventive care, and holistic healing practices. Understanding Samhita Siddhanta enables students to unlock the depths of Ayurvedic knowledge, preparing them to apply these principles effectively in their practice.
The Role of Sanskrit
Sanskrit, as the ancient language of Ayurveda, holds immense significance in understanding the original texts. By learning Sanskrit, students can read and interpret the classical texts without losing the meaning embedded in them. Our department provides an in-depth understanding of Sanskrit grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, allowing students to connect with the true essence of Ayurveda as it was intended by ancient scholars.
