Purity of Knowledge
The power of the media is great. I found that out a few weeks ago when the article I submitted to our local community paper published my 200 word article. Not only that they also put my picture on the front page - the whole page. 60 People showed up for my talk. Only a hand full had heard of Ayurved in the past and most of them were seeking help for various health issues.
The next days I also hit Facebook with people commenting on my talk. I was surprised that they did not really hear what I said and posted recipes from other teachers and connected them to me. Wow! misquoted on my first step into public view. Correction were made at my request. I did not want to be responsible for bringing misunderstanding into Shaka Vansya Ayurved.
We know that Ayurved is an ancient knowledge and I am blessed to have a teacher, Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra, who can trace his lineage back thousands of years and also teachers from the ancient Vedic texts. He calls his approach "Sutra to Science" From the Sanskrit texts of Charak and others he can uncover and confirm the various ailments and the correct way to balance them.
So when I speak about SVA I am always careful that I honour the tradition of Knowledge and also maintain the purity of its roots. If I go out of the system I will let people know. We know how things can get lost in translation. Just like the game we played as kids where you whisper a word into someone's ear and then they pass it on. At the end of the line of 10-12 people the word has changed. Similarly when Ayurved is sent through generations of changes and then someone adapts it based on his understanding of Ayurved, then the purity is lost and they say it does not work. I remember Vaidya Mishra telling a story about seeing patients in London England and finding something in their pulse that he never felt before. He was raising in a small village in India and now he was in the centre of a big city. When he asked his father why the difference, the response was "Look around you." He was near Picadilly Circus with all the lights and other electrical activity. He was picking that up in the pulse.
This is the importance of having a skilled teacher who is fully conversant in the ancient Knowledge of Ayurved and also so refined in his perception that he can also see the effects of our technological world on our minds and bodies and spirits. Vaidya Mishra has brought Ayurved into a new age acknowledging its universal quality and crossing time barriers. As a result Vaidya has identified 4 classes of toxins. Ama ( undigested food), Amavisha ( old undigested food), Garvisha (chemicals) and Indrivajrabhijanya visha (EMF and EMR) To clean or detoxify these 4 different toxins out of your systems required great skill and different approaches.
