A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE KAARYA-KAARANA SIDDHAANTA (THEORY OF CAUSE AND EFFECT) IN AYURVEDA
Dr. Harish J. Purohit* and Dr. Vaibhav Dadu
ABSTRACT The Indian Philosophy is known for its contribution towards the spiritual acumen but a little is known about the hidden science in the form of ‘philosophical code’. In fact, the Indian Philosophy has influenced the various knowledge streams of Indian origin like the science of Yoga and Ayurveda. The theory of cause (kaarana) and effect (kaarya) is quintessential example of the contribution of philosophical narrative that forms the base of all the scientific developments and the enhancement of knowledge vistas of the well known ancient holistic science of life, Ayurveda. The relation between the cause and effect is a widely approved concept paving the way of Ayurveda thinking. The concept of health, disease and its treatment are developed on the anvil of the cause-effect model. The theory of transformation is applied in the scientific study of the digestive mechanism and the failure to transform properly is termed as disease that demands the Ayurveda interference. Even the highly discussed modern concept of research in Ayurveda is based on the cause-effect relationship. This paper therefore reviews the theory of cause and effect and its application in understanding the Ayurveda model. Keywords: Philosophy, health, disease, treatment, basic-principles, transformation, research. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
