Old Granth - #6419
I’ve recently developed an interest in exploring ancient Ayurvedic knowledge, and I’m curious about old granth texts. What are some of the most important old granth that focus on Ayurveda, and how can a beginner start studying them? From what I understand, old granth like Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya are considered foundational texts. Are there others that are equally significant but less well-known? How do these old granth differ from modern Ayurvedic books in terms of depth and practical advice? Is it necessary to know Sanskrit to read and understand these old granth? I’d love to explore translations in Hindi or English that stay true to the original texts. Are there any recommended publishers or editions for beginners? Do old granth offer guidance on daily life practices, seasonal routines, or just medical treatments? I’m particularly interested in texts that balance science and spirituality, as I believe this holistic approach is key to Ayurveda. Lastly, how do you integrate the wisdom from old granth into modern life? Are there courses or online resources that help interpret these ancient texts for contemporary use?
