Conference
The individual is non-different from the universe.
All natural phenomena in the universe exist in the individual
The wise desire to perceive all phenomena in this way.
CharakaSamhita (Sarirasthanam, chapter 4, verse 13)
One who practices medicine,
after learning the sciences from a preceptor
and engaged constantly in recollecting it,
such a person can only be called a physician.
Susruta Samhita (Sutrasthanam, chapter 4, Verse 7 & 8)
Ayurveda declares unambiguously that every cell in the living being is representative of the entire universe, and that every aspect of the external universe can be seen in each cell of the living being. When we increase our understanding of this relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, we can apply the knowledge thus gained to clinical and daily practice, and enhance positive results for our patients, for us, for the earth, and beyond.
Exploring holism or interconnectedness, as understood by Ayurveda and allied knowledge systems, will be the theme of the 5th International Conference on “Ayurveda – Where Science Meets Consciousness”, vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village, Coimbatore, India, December 11-18, 2015. During the seven days of this conference, scholars, physicians, astrologers, students and preceptors from around the globe, will have the opportunity to deliberate and discuss on interconnectedness in the context of –
1) How Jyotisha, the qualities and movements of the nine “planets” (navagrahas), the twelve constellations of the zodiac
(rashis), and other celestial influences impact human physiology and experience, how we might detect those,
their influences, and how to improve our relationship with them.
2) How sthapatyaveda or the science of “understanding space” helps improve interconnectedness
3) How gandharvaveda or the science and art of music and dance also contributes to interconnectedness
4) How tantra explains the interconnectedness at a deeper level
5) how mantras and pujas also facilitate this holistic approach towards the study of man and nature
6) how yoga is similarly positioned and so on.
All of the above will be studied in relation to the healing process and how it can be enhanced with a considerably deeper understanding of these subjects. Thus Ayurveda will be the central theme around which all these discussions will take place.
We invite you to be part of this unique experience.
