Abstract:
“Beauty is formal commence at mind not in mirror” A person with charming mind shines brighter than glamorous face. Inner elegance enhances external beauty and it doesn’t have an expiry date but external charm is completely dependent on biological appearance. Ayurveda recognizes the individuality by means of inherent quality (Swabhava). Ayurveda has its origin from Atharva veda as it explains Triguna (Satva, Rajas & Tamas) or modes of existence in detail to understand and for the betterment of personality, the same has been accepted even in modern science. “मांसम् बृम्हणप्रधानम्, तथा अपि तच्छरीरमात्रबृम्हणम्, विद्या तु शरीरमनोबृम्हणीया अतिरिच्छते” च.सु 30 Meat is best among nourishing (Bruhmana) food, but it nourishes only Sharira (body). Vidhya (knowledge) is Utkrushta Dravya (excellent substance) as it provides nourishment (Bruhmananam Shreshta) for both Sharira (body) and Mana (mind). The ultimate aim of life is to achieve Purushartha’s (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha) which is possible only by the practice of Utkrushtatama Dravya’s (substance intended for excellence) as mentioned in Charaka Samhita. Satva is Jnana Prakashaka Hetu (tools for illumination of knowledge). Utkrushtatama Dravya’s (1.Non-violence 2.Potency 3.Knowledge 4.Control over mind 5.Self-realization 6.life Style to gain Ultimate Knowledge) aids in enhancing Satva, thus helps to flourish and there is no substitute method equivalent for the same. In this fast-growing era people are negligibly considering such essence of our divine science, hence the effort has been made to understand the spiritual values to enhance the individual personality.
