Use of Modern
technology in ancient Ayurveda science
If we want to achieve
great success Ayurveda and Technology these two different streams must go hand
in hand
As a researcher in Ayurveda we always have some
questions in our mind , like Why to use Modern technology in ancient Ayurveda
science? Or how exactly it should be used. .
To have answers of these questions we must do
careful critical and unbiased study. Ayurveda is an ancient science.
Definition of science is ---
Science is the knowledge gained by systematic study
and the Scientist i.e. who is an expert in science applies the science in a
scientific way i.e. careful and accurate way. Ayurveda is a science of life.
Ayurveda adds years to life and life to years.
In
Sushrut Samhita Chikitsa sthan, Sushrutacharya says that,
“SatataAdhyanama Vadaha
Paratantra ava lokanama Tadvidya Acharyaseva
Cha Buddhi Medhakaro Ganaha ||”
Su.Chi.

Continuous
study, exchange of thoughts, knowledge of other applied sciences supportive to
Ayurveda and dialogue with guru are the means to enhance the intellect and
understanding. One should always use the knowledge of other applied sciences to
understand and to elaborate the Ayurvedic concepts.
In the present era of modern
civilisation most of us have accepted the modern lifestyle. Revolution in the
field of technology has changed the scenario in almost every field. Modern
scientists used this technology to enrich medical science. This is one of the
reasons of its global acceptance.
Ayurvedic scholars should provide the knowledge of
Ayurveda in the form of language of modern science. There is a need of critical
and unbiased study. Efforts should be taken to make it demonstrable and
experimental.
The basic principles of Ayurveda are partially based
on the Pratyksha Praman.
Charak
Samhita says that,
“Pratyksham Hi Alpam Analpam Apratyaksham Asti.||”
Other Pramanas are also helpful in Ayurvedic Research methodology but
with the help of modern technology we can make concepts of Ayurveda widely
known and appreciable by scientist from all over the world.
