Foreword

The term manas prakrati can also be. termed as Sattva Prakrati: Every individual has got his own independent mental status which is curious. It is not anomalous but definitely different from man to man. If one tries to minutely discover each individual's mental status or manas prakrati, it 'Varies from one person to another. Behavior is directly related with a natural mental status right from birth. Every individual's behavior is extremely complicated and complex and also multifaceted. This is because of the completely of the buddhi or brain. It can be studied in variety of ways. It is often a complicated problem for a physician to identify in every 'Individual. The cognitive behavior of every individual has been termed in Ayurveda as manas or Sattva prakrati. Sushruta has categorized these various mental statuses broadly into sat, raj and tarn prakriti. Further all these broad categories or mental personalities have been identified into sixteen categories. Each individual has his own behavioral pattern and thus has got magnanimous social impact because of his varied neuro-behavioral status. While doing general examination of a patient, every clinician is supposed to determine the mental status in appropriate way.

Though in many cases, it takes hours to arrive at final diagnosis and determine individual's manas. In many cases brief examination may provide sufficient information for precise decision concerning an individual's manas prakriti.

After going through the book authored by Dr. Rashi and Prof. Kavita Indapurkar, I personally feel that the scholars of Ayurveda will positively be able not only to manage the patient's mental problem but will also help to meet the Manas problems of a patient on Ayurvedic pattern. Finally I congratulate both the authors of the book for their rich contribution in the field of Ayurveda.

I personally wish to congratulate Prof. Kavita Indapurkar, who is a versatile scholar of Kriya Sharir and recipient of "Honor of Fellowship" from All India Sharir Research Institute, Lucknow for her valuable contribution in the field of Sharir. At the same time also wish to congratulate Dr. Rashi Sharma for her 'immense labour put in writing such an excellent book, she is also one of the recipients of "Best M.D. Thesis Award" by All India Sharir Research Institute Lucknow. I also wish to put in record my appreciation and blessings to both the authors for their herculean efforts in dispensing this gigantic task

I am sure that the book will prove the best seller.

Foreword

It gives me immense pleasure to write ... , the foreword for the book entitled, "Concept of Manas in Ayurveda" by Dr. Rashi Sharma and Prof. Kavita Indapurkar. Very few books are available on this extremely important subject of manas.

The work of Dr. Rashi Sharma and Prof. Kavita Indapurkar is appreciable as they not only compiled the original concepts of samhitas but also tried to interpret the subject for better understanding I appreciate their understanding of the subject and efforts to bring it in the form of a book.
