LITERARY REVIEW ON DHARANIYA VEGA IN ASHTANGA HRIDAYA

Ayurveda is the most ancient system of medicine, not just in India but also in the world. It mentioned the corre-lations of body and mind and how our emotions affect our overall health. Vega Dharana is not just about with-holding or letting go of urges but about respecting the body's dynamics and expressions. When we respect them, we receive respect in return in the form of balanced mind-body health. Ashtanga Hridaya Sutrasthana 4th chapter in which Dharaneeya Vegas are explained is named Rogaan Anutpaadaneeya Adhyaya meaning those which do not allow diseases to manifest. In this chapter there is a description of Adharaniya Vega and Dharaniya Vega. Dharaniya Vega1 suggests that if the Vegas are not suppressed, it will turn into mental disorders; to attain the Mansika Swasthya we must suppress these Dharaniya Vega. It also implies that we can either invite or prevent many diseases by ignoring or addressing the body's small expressions, respectively. When the body wants to expel something to protect itself in the long run, just cooperate and allow the body to express itself naturally. The remote control of our health lies in our own hands. All you need to do is use it skill fully. Simply admire and address the body's expressions at the proper time, and you'll find yourself in the best of health. Some Vegas must be suppressed to keep our mind in ideal state.
