Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the traditional health care system of India, which dates back thousands of years,beyond the dawn of recorded history. The Sanskrit root "Ayu" means life, and "Veda" means pure knowledge. Ayurveda can thus be translated as the knowledge of the span of life.
In recent centuries, due to foreign domination of India, the knowledge of Ayurveda began to be lost, and what remains today in India is only a partial value of Ayurveda. What is found today in the name of Ayurveda is genuinely valuable and useful knowledge of the material aspects of the functioning of human physiology, and knowledge of how to promote balance in the body through proper diet and through herbal formulations. But what has been missing from Ayurveda is the knowledge of the deeper levels of human physiology, and the source of human physiology in the field of consciousness. The knowledge of how the field of consciousness gives rise to all the Laws of Nature governing human physiology is the most precious and practical aspect of Ayurveda, with the power to raise human life fully in harmony with Natural Law in higher states of consciousness. This complete knowledge of consciousness is what is most fundamentally referred to by the term "Veda." Thus, it is fair to say that what has been missing from Ayurveda in recent history is "Veda."
