DECODING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MITHYAYOGA AND VYADHI INAYURVED
The present time has ushered in a significant transformation in human lives due to the advent of technology. This raises a pertinent question: do our ways and habits have the potential to have a strong impact on our health as well? To explore this, we require a fresh perspective. Ayurveda holds the key; Samayoga, meaning the proper association of Kaal, Artha, and Karma, equates to Arogya, whilst any deviation from this state—such as Ayoga (poor), Mithya (improper or perverted), and Atiyoga (over-indulgence)—is responsible for Roga (disease). This occurs as a result of Prajñāparadha and Upadha, which are influenced by the Rajas and Tamas Dosha. There-fore, by delving into these core fundamental concepts, we could instigate a paradigm shift in the human mindset regarding healthcare and lifestyle-related disorders that plague our world. Mithyayoga exists as a metaphorical grey area between Ayoga and Atiyoga; although the distinction between these two is well-defined, subtle nuanc-es are significant. A clear differentiation would illuminate the improper practices that lead people to make these choices mindlessly every day. The main objective of this article is to broaden our understanding of the causes of disturbances in health. It highlights daily practices that indirectly contribute to physiological disruptions, result-ing in numerous disorders later on. Aim & Objectives- To broaden the understanding of aspects of Mithyayoga leading to the development of (Vyadhi) disease. To create a sense of the rightful practices (Samayoga) for Health. Materials & Methods- Classical texts, such as Brihatrayee and various other literary works, were considered and searched, apart from these few websites, which were also reviewed during the research.
