Book Description

Introduction to Authors
Sanatan Sanstha’s 27th Saint, Sadguru vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale
[M.D. (Paediatrics), D.C.H., F.A.M.S.]

Sadguru (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale was a renowned Paediatrician. He founded the Paediatrics Department in 1959 in Lokmanya Tilak Mahanagarpalika Hospital, Mumbai. He was Professor and Head of this Department from 1960 to 1990. He was the Chairman of the 'International Conference on Alternative Medicine' seminar in Bangkok in 1980. In 1996, He received the international honour for the 'Best author of books on Ayurveda'. In 2001 & in 2012 respectively, He was honoured with the 'Lifetime Achievement Award' in an International conference on 'Ayurveda and Hepatic Disorders' and by the Indian Academy of Paediatrics.

1. The journey from being a seeker to becoming a disciple

A. Having the quality of selflessness and the attitude of sacrifice, which are essential for spiritual practice : Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale started noting down higher level philosophical thoughts on Spirituality in 1980. He toiled day and night to create a vast treasure of knowledge on Spirituality. He donated this treasure to Sanatan Sanstha (to become Sanatan's Texts) in 1990. This sacrifice, before He became a Saint indicates the level of His spiritual practice & seekership. Due to His writings, Sanatan's Texts are now becoming inclusive in the true sense.

B. In 2004, He became Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale's disciple (A great Saint who is also His younger brother and is the Founder of Sanatan Sanstha, the world-renowned spiritual organisation).

2. Attaining Sainthood

On 16.12.2012, He reached Sainthood due to His spiritual emotion, intense yearning, an inquisitive nature & humility.

A. Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Athavale attained Saint-hood by performing spiritual practice through various Paths of Spirituality : Every person performs spiritual practice as per some path of Spirituality, becomes introverted, progresses spiritually and thus moves towards Sainthood. However, Dr Vasant Athavale attained Sainthood through Karmayoga (Path of Action) by serving the patients, Dnyanyoga (Path of Knowledge) by writing Holy texts, Bhaktiyoga (Path of Devotion) and Gurukrupayoga (Path of Guru's grace) by performing spiritual practice as per all these Paths.

3. Active in seva for Sanatan's mission until His last breath

Sadguru (Dr) Vasant Athavale kept performing satseva for Sanatan's mission until His last breath. When He came to know of Divine particles found in Sanatan's Ashram, He inquisitively studied the subject, contemplated on how to conduct research on this topic from a scientific perspective and gave His own suggestions too.

He renounced His body on 9.11.2013 at the age of 80 years.

Part - I

Preface

In this book, we have described the functions of respiratory system and diseases of nose, throat and para nasal sinuses.
We breathe in our first breath at the time of birth, the first cry of the baby is the first expiration of the body. We breathe out our last breath at the time of death. We can survive without food and water for some days but without air, that is, breathing, we cannot survive for more than 2 to 3 minutes. Therefore, Oxygen is called Pranayayu, that is, 'life sustaining gas'.
After birth, in the first month, the newborn baby breathes 30-40 times a minute. While resting, in a normal adult, it is 12 to 16 times per minute.
Cold and cough are the most common symptoms from which everyone suffers. This is because we are breathing in and out air, which is contaminated with germs, dust particles, chemicals, fumes, smoke of vehicles & factories and cigarette smoking.
Larynx, the voice box is the organ of speech. Man is the only animal who can speak. Through his speech, man can make friends or enemies.
Tonsils are bodyguards at the junction of nose and throat and prevent entry of germs into the air passages. The size of the tonsils in children between 6 to 8 years of age is double that of adults. After the age of 14 years, the size of the tonsils automatically regresses. Tonsils should not be unnecessarily removed, just because they are enlarged.
In this Text causes, symptoms, diet, medicines and general `dos and don'ts' for the diseases of nose, throat and para nasal sinuses are given in detail.
Ayurveda advices the remedies including diet according to type of disease, constitution, environment and season. In this Text, we have given measures to keep these organs healthy. Pranayam, that is, controlled breathing can improve the vital capacity of lungs and health of all organs, including the mind.
This Text will be useful to doctors, Vaidyas, medical students as well as common men to keep these organs healthy and to prevent diseases.
We pray to the Prana-Devata, the Deity of life sustaining air to keep the respiratory organs healthy. - Authors

In Ayurveda, the word 'Kasa' literally means the sound produced during cough. Thus, kasa includes a variety of diseases where cough is the dominant symptom.
Kshayarog is a broad term used in Ayurveda to describe the diseases which cause emaciation. It also includes pulmonary tuberculosis.
It is quite difficult to cure Asthma by modem medicines, but a proper Ayurveda treatment can eliminate asthma from the body.
Pleura means the thin and elastic covering of the lungs which is double layered. If due to some reason when there is inflammation, it is called as 'Pleurisy'.
Ears are the organ of hearing. We should not hear loud and harsh noises like those of crackers. We should use ears for hearing stones of Avatars (Incarnations of God) and melodious music.
In this Text causes, symptoms, diet, medicines and general 'dos and don'ts' for the diseases of respiratory passages, lungs, pleura and ears are given in detail. Ayurveda advices the remedies including diet according to type of disease, constitution, environment and season. In this Text, we have given measures to keep these organs healthy.
