Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Ayurvedic Text

Bart Staub of the Kripalu Institute in Lenox, Mass. is here at Jiva for the next few months working on a project to unlock the mysteries of Charak Samhita, the ancient Ayurvedic treatise that forms the basis of Ayurveda. Charak, as it is often referred to, consists of numerous sutras written in Sanskrit that explain the causes and cures of disease.

To carry out the task, Bart is meeting with Dr. Satya Naryana Dasa (a PhD in Sanskirt) alongside Dr. Partap Chauhan, Ayurvedic expert, to analyze the text from both a scholarly as well as practical perspective. We are hoping to see one of the most modern, powerful interpretations of Charak that has ever be done.

We'll keep you posted on the updates.
