A Timeless WELLNESS Gift from the Indian Knowledge System
Ayurveda and the Indian Knowledge System: A Holistic Legacy
As we celebrate the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life, rooted in the Saraswati Valley Civilization (circa 3300–1300 BCE). Ayurveda, meaning “the science of life” in Sanskrit, integrates diet, herbs, yoga, meditation, and lifestyle practices to harmonize body, mind, and spirit, fostering holistic wellness. The Pashupati Seal, a 4,500-year-old artifact from Mohenjo-Daro, depicts a proto-Shiva figure in a meditative pose, symbolizing Ayurveda’s deep connection to yoga and spiritual balance. Discovered in 1928, this seal underscores the antiquity of Ayurvedic practices, blending physical health with mental and spiritual well-being.

Vata, Pitta, and Kapha —The core principle of Ayurveda
Ayurveda’s core principles revolve around balancing the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—the bio-energies that govern physiological and psychological functions.
By aligning these energies through personalized diet, herbal remedies, yoga, and meditation, Ayurveda promotes optimal health and self-realization. The Saraswati Valley’s advanced knowledge of medicinal plants, documented in texts like the Charaka Samhita, forms the basis of Ayurvedic pharmacology, a cornerstone of India’s early contributions to medicine.
Recent archaeological discoveries, such as those at Rakhigarhi and Kalibangan, reveal sophisticated water management systems and urban planning, reflecting the civilization’s scientific prowess. Artifacts like seals, terracotta figurines, and amulets suggest a rich spiritual life, with practices like Abhyanga (self-massage) and Shirodhara (oil streaming on the forehead) indicating advanced healing techniques. These findings highlight the Saraswati Valley’s role as a cradle of ancient wisdom, where Ayurveda and yoga were integral to spiritual and physical harmony.
