Dr. Manish Singh, in his elaborate talk, illustrated various facets of Ayurveda and maintained that Ayurveda was the science which dealt with the study of ‘Ayu’ which is the union of ‘sarira’ (body), ‘indriya’ (senses), mana (heart) and ‘atma’ (soul). He expressed that the aim of Ayurveda was to protect health of healthy people and to treat the ill people. He elucidated in detail the types of food to be taken in various seasons and manners to remain healthy. He asserted that Ayurveda does not only prescribes medicines but also educates people about food habit, exercise, behaviour, thought process, friend circle etc.
The talk was followed by a “Question and Answer” session. The programme was very useful, informative and successful.
