<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book is the first to make each verse of the Ashtanga Hridayam available to English speakers through transliteration, a word-for-word translation, and a translation of the verse in full. Also this book provides the commentaries of the Acharyas for greater illumination. International students will be empowered by this invaluable text.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For students of Ayurveda who are unable to read Sanskrit, learning the intricacies of this subtle and complex healing science is challenging, if not impossible. Without the ability to transfer the principles expounded in the ancient texts into practical application according to the time, place, and person being treated, proper results cannot be achieved. <br /> <br /> During his own study of Ayurveda, Dr. Sanjay Pisharodi discovered some of the available English translations to be incomplete and inaccurate. Now, as the founder of the Purnarogya Holistic Health Care & Research Pvt Ltd, an institution dedicated to preserving, promoting, and propagating the teachings of the Ayurvedic texts, he presents the most authentic English translation of the Ashtanga Hridayam to date. <br /> <br /> Because it is the most practical, concise, and clinical in its presentation and contains the essential points from all the great classics, this text serves as an excellent teaching tool. Through exacting transliteration and translation of every word and verse, Dr. Pisharodi provides unparalleled access to the knowledge imparted in the Ashtanga Hridaya, including the enriching commentary. <br /> <br /> This text acts as a vital bridge connecting international students of Ayurveda with the ancient sages and great teachers of this fascinating healing tradition</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Ashtanga Hridyam is one of the three great ancient classics of Ayurveda and among these, perhaps the most comprehensive and easy to understand. Dr Sanjay Pisharodi has provided an excellent new English version of the text that includes the Sanskrit, transliteration, translation and a lucid commentary that makes this Ayurvedic classic accessible in all of its depth and detail. I regard it as the best version of Ashtanga Hridaya available. All serious students of Ayurveda, East and West, can benefit from studying the book and keeping it as an important reference guide." -Dr. David Frawley (Paṇḍit Vāmadeva Śāstri) Padma Bhūṣaṇ (3rd highest civilian award) in 2015 by the President of India Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies Founder and first president of American Council of Vedic Astrology "Though among Ayurveda's brhat trayi Astanga Hrdayam is today the most actively consulted and employed of the three, a translation of this work by Vagbhata (whose name literally means "Language Expert") worthy of its author has long sadly been lacking. At long last this lacuna has been filled, with this effort which is written in clear, grammatical English and contains in addition traditional commentaries. All serious students of Ayurveda will find this rendition of great benefit, a book which is likely to actively benefit the spread of the Science of Life to all who require it." -Dr. Robert E Svoboda First person from the western world to complete the BAMS degree from India Author of the section on Ayurveda in Encyclopaedia Britannica 2000, Prakriti, Aghora etc. Svadhyaya (self study) of the Astanga Hridaya is a continuous exercise that an aspiring physician has to engage with to get established in the Ayurvedic thought process and to apply it in clinical practice. This process can be compared with repeated diving into the ocean to collect precious gems that lie on the ocean floor. Every time, the diver comes up with new discoveries and in a similar manner, the diligent student of the Astanga Hridaya is able to discover many layers of meanings and principles of Ayurveda through the constant svadhyaya. Dr. Sanjay's verse by verse, word by word translation and interpretation of the Astanga Hridaya is a good example of harvest that can be reaped through Svadhyaya. I am sure this work will serve as a stimulation for aspirants of Ayurveda to engage in a deeper study of the text. -Dr. Ram Manohar Research Director at Amrita School of Ayurveda Director and Chief Scientific Officer at AVP Research Foundation<br>
