Month One- Live lecture with Vaidya

August 28, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Dear course participant: these are the notes from Vaidya Mishra’s first live lecture for the Pulse and Marma course. They are not a detailed transcription of his talk. These notes are meant to give you the highlights of his talk and guide you through it. In addition, in these notes you will find the new Sanskrit sutras he discussed, along with word-by-word translation and transliteration. The full talk recording is posted on the forum for you to listen to at your leisure.

Here are some highlights from Vaidya Mishra’s first live lecture

Ayurveda is an upanga: a branch from the Veda-s
When we read the pulse we are scanning the “ flow of creative energy”: how does it flow? Where is the imbalance? Which organs and systems are involved?
Marma: is a junction point of nadi-s, carrying three components that make up the cosmos:
Soma+Agni+Marut<—> connected to the “light of the soul”<—> origin of creation /universe
Remember:
Marmas and pulse both deal with the nadi-s and the flow of prana

TMS is an integral modality that involves : 1. TOUCH 2. MARMA 3. SOUND/ SPACE 4. HERB 5. AROMA
As discussed in your notes from chapter one, Ayurveda is a siddhant: Siddha antana yastahu: siddhanta —that which has proven end- there have been “no recalls” in Ayurveda for the past several thousand years!


Sarvada- at all times, ever, forever
Sarva-each, every
Bhavanam- emotion, sentiment, spirit, appearance, temperament
Samanyam- common, normal
Vriddhi- growth, increase
Karanam- cause
Hrasa- decline, loss, deterioration, decrease
Hetur- reason, purpose, reason for
Visheshcha- special, peculiar
Pravritti- behaviour, tendency, prevalence
Ubhyasya- of both kinds, of both manners
Tu- and
Always and in all circumstances when 2 equal qualities (vibration material) or physical material are put together, that quality/material increases
—The space element gives intelligence to the cellular system
— Sound is manifested aspect of the space element
What is Prana? It is expressed on the cosmic and individual levels:
Light of the soul on the cosmic level :: paramatma
Light of the soul on the individual level :: jivatma

  • TMS enhances pranic flow and reception
  •  “synthetic” prana disrupts the nadi-s
  • Pure knowledge: siddhanta
  • “Satya sampurn gyan”  truthful total knowledge based on siddhantas

Medicine vs Ayurveda vs SV Ayurveda
first hetu then symptom
Health
samadoshaha                                                                samagnishcha             samadhatu           malah kriyaha

13 total “fires” or “ centers of powers of transformation”
1 jataragni  (also pachakagni) in the stomach
bhutagni- 5 fires in the liver
7 metabolic fires in the tissues called dhatwagni
PLUS: wherever there is pitta, there is agni or fire- pitta is the fuel for agni, the flame, so wherever there is fire, there should be fuel for the fire to burn- for example:
dehagni (cellular)
alochak agni- in the eyes
sadhakagni- metabolic fire to digest thoughts and emotions in the heart
bhrajakagni- metabolic principle/intelligence in the skin that helps absorb that which is good and protect that which is not desirable for absorption

“prashanatmendriya  manah swasthamitya abidhiyate:” coordination between senses and the mind
