Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Holistic medicine postulates that the responsibility for
healthcare rests in the patient's hands because that is
where the knowledge and control of the variables lie (
diet,stress,exercise,genetics,emotion & medication).

The Five Levels of Being - The Yogic Model

These are the five concentric sheaths enveloping the Self,
the Divine Spark in man !

1. Physical Sheath ( Annamaya Kosha )

2. Vital Sheath ( Pranamaya Kosha )

3. Mental Sheath ( Manomaya Kosha )

4. Intellectual Sheath ( Vijnanamaya Kosha )

5. Bliss Sheath ( Anandamaya Kosha )

Disease is the imbalance in any of the three lower sheaths
of existence - physical, vital & mental. The microcosm & the
macrocosm are are in unbroken communion with each other &
are structured on the same pattern. At the level of the
physical sheath, food, water & oxygen enter the microcosm
and Co2, waste products etc return to the macrocosm. This is
true of other sheaths also. The individual cannot exist
independent of the cosmos. The interdependence of the
Microcosm & the Macrocosm is known in Classical Philosophy
as the Bio-Cosmic tieup. If the exchange between the
physical sheath and the physical world around it is
defective, the body will become ill, and death will result
if it is stopped altogether.

Holistic Medicine s www.holistic-alt.com

Vedic Holistic Medicine is Ayurveda and its prophylactic
aspect is Naturopathy. All non-veg food is acidic and the
alkaline food which is needed for the body is that which
cometh from Nature. So if we live in rhythm with Natural
Law, no disease can visit us.

Astrology & Yoga Therapy

The approach of Yoga Therapy is based on the holistic
concept of human being; the five " sheaths " of existence of
which the physical sheath ( Annamaya Kosha ) is only the
first. The second is the Vital Sheath ( Pranamaya Kosha ),
that is made up of the Vital Energy called Prana which flows
through invisible channels called Nadis. The third is the
Mental Sheath ( Manomaya Kosha ) The fourth is the
Intellectual Sheath ( Vijnanamaya Kosha ) and the final
sheath is the Bliss Sheath ( Ananda Maya Kosha ). The Bliss
Sheath is found to consist of the positive energy associated
with the Divine Self. It is from this sheath that the inner
peace characteristic of true Bliss emanates.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

A different but parallel model of human personality was
developed by the Tantras. Whereas the Upanishads speak of
Five Sheaths or Koshas, the Tantras speak of six chakras.
These Chakras are ( in ascending order)

1. Root Chakra ( Muladhara )

2. Anal Chakra ( Manipura )

3. Solar Plexus Chakra ( Swadhistana )

4. Heart Chakra ( Anahata )

5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi )

6. Eyebrow Chakra ( Ajna )

Life is regarded as the unfolding of the Self at six
different levels of consciousness known as Chakras in the
magnificent Tantric Model. In mundane people the unfolding
takes place only at the first three chakras which represent
procreation, metabolism & speech; the higher three chakras
remain latent. The awakening of the higher chakras results
in the unfolding and fulfillment of Life Divine. When the
Kundalini, the Serpentine Power inherent in humans, rises
from the Root Chakra ( Muladhara ) to the Crown Chakra (
Sahasrara ), man achieves Cosmic Consciousness. The Spirit
shall take up the human play The earthly life become the
Life Divine!

Books as the source of knowledge

" Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to
mankind, to posterity " said Dante. Without books we cannot
acquire knowledge. With the advent of the New Age in the
Kali Yuga, a spiritual revolution has been ushered & many
Redeemers will be there to save mankind !

" I saw them cross the twilight of the Age,

The massive barrier breakers of this world

The sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn

The architects of immortality

Carrying the magic Word, the mystic Fire,

Carrying the Dionysian cup of Joy " - Aurobindo
