There are four Vedas or
treatises which form the basis of Indian Philosophy. They being the
RIGVEDA, The YAJUR VEDA, The SAMA VEDA and The ADHARVA VEDA. Ayurveda
has emerged out as the branch of Adharva Veda dates back over 5000
years. It is said to have been originated from Lord Brahma ( creator
of universe according to Indian Philosophy), and has been descanted to
the earth through various generations of GODS and SAINTS. This has
been handed down to us by means of ancient venerable scripts as palm
leaf books, leather leaves etc. The oldest works in Ayurveda now
available are the CHARAKA SAMHITHA, SUSRUTHA SAMHITA and ASHTANGA
SAMGRAHA. |
