Tridoshas

Ayurveda mainly focuses on the three fundamental energies governing the body:

• Vaatha — air & space, governs movement and nervous system
• Pittha — fire & water, governs metabolism and transformation
• Kapha — earth & water, governs structure and immunity

Three Naadis

The Tridoshas are sensed through three Naadi channels:

• Ida (Chandra Naadi) — golden-white · central spine · Beejaksha: OM (ॐ)
• Pingala (Surya Naadi) — white-silver · left side to left nostril · Beejaksha: Ham (हं)
• Sushumna (Central Naadi) — red-orange · right side to right nostril · Beejaksha: Ram (रं)

Aura Sciences

Aura Sciences is the culmination of all Ayurvedic elements — plants, herbs, metals, and astrophysics — making it a unique solution to diseases occurring in humans and animals. Similarly, Jyotisha (astrological science) functions as a cosmic mapping system, interpreting temporal rhythms and energetic patterns influencing life on Earth.

Ancient Indian Holistic Vision

In Ancient Indian thought, the life sciences were never treated as isolated disciplines — they were part of an integrated worldview where nature, human life, cosmos, and consciousness functioned as a single, living system. Every element was sacred and purposeful, governed by natural laws (á¹›ta) that maintained cosmic order.

Sun — The Largest Planet

The Sun provides the required energy for all creatures of the planet. It is the largest planet holding the entire planetary system.

Moon — Subtle Balancer

The Moon balances with subtle energy directly observed as High Tide and Low Tide in its phases from New Moon to Full Moon.

Jupiter — Guruthakarshana Shakthi

Jupiter is considered a powerful planet that attracts invisible forces on the planetary system — termed GURUTHAKARSHANA SHAKTHI (Gravitational Force of the Guru).

Jyothishya — Life Forces

Jyothishya gives the energy quantum received towards Earth and earthly beings. Major changes happen in Day and Night, where Sun and Moon are visible to all creatures of Earth. All planets exert influence depending on location and degrees towards Earth.

Interaction encompasses vibrational sounds (mantras), structured verbal language, and sign language — creating a holistic energy-based communication system unparalleled in its depth.
