SHARIR VIKRUTI SHASTRA ( Pathology ? )

Human body : ayurveda reveals the complexities of human body. Why is so much importance given to the study of human physique in Ayurveda ? Ancient rishis were bothered by physical deformities and pathological conditions of the human body, and their concentration form their sadhanaa and samadhi was distracted, which evaded them form achieving salvation. So one day all the rishis gathered together, and tried to find a solution to this problem. They tried to rule our the root cause and finally came to the conclusion of restoring the health from diseased state. They found our that the Art (Knowledge) of Ayurveda, curing diseases lay with he Creator of world Pitamaha Bramha. But every one was wondering how to bring this knowledge to mankind ? Rishi Bhardwaj came up with a plan. He decided to please Lord Bhramha by worshipping him, so that once they got Ayurveda, they would be freed from all aliments and attend moksha i.e. salvation. Rishi bhardwaj was a wise man, he knew that reaching the heaven in physical state was not possible, so he sent his soul to heaven with his power of sadhana.
So risi bharadwaj's soul went to lord brahma and narrated the purpose of his visit. He convinced lord that with the state of unhealthyness in body nmind and soul it is not possible to concentrate on achieving the highest aim of moksha, is salvation. And hearing this Lord Brahma agreed to teach him Ayurveda but only for the said purpose and not to live forever. Rishi Bharadwaj agreed to this and learnt the art of Ayurveda.
Then his soul came back to the earth, in his own body and he wrote the entire Ayurveda, which was narrated by Lord Brahma.
