ANCIENT AYURVEDIC SECRETS -- Caraka Samhita- The Ocean Of Life - 2 by Bharat Thakur - Yogi and Artist published on 2023-01-20T12:05:40Z Caraka Samhita: The Ocean of Life - 2 Born Out Of The Need For Longevity The pandemic has picked up again somewhere in the globe, elsewhere a war rages, what next … Caraka says, there was at time in history, when like in our present times, humanity was faced with a severe onslaught of disease, leaving the entire globe helpless. It was getting difficult to work in peace, to live a healthy way of life, to spend time in self-study, to remain energetic without getting distracted and dissipated, to do cleansing routines, and all of this started taking a toll on the healthy life-span of man. That is, the number of disease free years were reducing. This prompted the sages, the rsi, who were icons of both knowledge and compassion, and pathfinders for various communities across the globe, to come together and address this existential problem that humanity as a whole faced, for they could foresee grave calamities if this state remained unchecked. They met where they knew they would be inspired - at a spot on the slopes of the Himalaya to dwell in this problem and find solutions. They came with a comprehensive body of work that would not only offer solutions to mankind at this precarious juncture, but also provide a matrix for a ‘science of life’ that could evolve with the needs of humanity. It was from this grand once-in-an-eon coming together of sages, and the historic body of work that they created, that Caraka Samhita is said to have materialised. Genre Learning
