Welcome to the Rachana Sharira Department
The Rachana Sharira department is an integral part of the academic curriculum in Ayurvedic medicine, focusing on the study of human anatomy from an Ayurvedic perspective. Derived from the classical texts of Ayurveda, Rachana Sharira provides a deep understanding of the structure and formation of the human body, emphasizing the holistic approach Ayurveda takes in understanding physical form and function.
Mission
Our mission in the Rachana Sharira Department is to impart comprehensive knowledge of the physical structure of the human body, including its various systems and components, through the Ayurvedic lens. We aim to promote a deeper appreciation of the interconnection between body, mind, and spirit, which is the foundation of Ayurvedic health practices.
Student Development
The Rachana Sharira Department not only equips students with the essential theoretical knowledge but also emphasizes the importance of observation, clinical understanding, and patient care. Our students are trained to analyze and diagnose using the holistic principles of Ayurveda, ensuring they are well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to the field.
Key Areas of Study
Human Anatomy (Sharira Rachana):
Students learn about the physical structure of the human body, including the bones, muscles, tissues, organs, and systems. We integrate ancient Ayurvedic texts with modern anatomical knowledge to offer a unique perspective.
Marmas (Vital Points):
An essential component of Rachana Sharira, this topic explores the concept of Marmas—vital energy points in the body that are significant in both physical health and energetic balance. This knowledge is crucial for practitioners in diagnosis, therapy, and injury treatment.
Srotas (Channels and Pathways):
We delve into the study of the body’s intricate system of channels (srotas), which include the circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, and energy pathways. Understanding srotas is vital for Ayurvedic practitioners to assess the health and functioning of bodily systems.
Tridosha and Dhatus:
A detailed study of the body's three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and seven tissues (Dhatus) is foundational in Rachana Sharira. Students explore how the balance of doshas and the proper functioning of dhatus contribute to overall health and well-being.
Ayurvedic Embryology:
The study of human development from conception to birth, according to Ayurvedic principles, sheds light on how the body’s structure is shaped and influenced by internal and external factors, providing deeper insights into prenatal care.
