Ayurveda
is a Sanskrit word, derived from two roots: ayur, which means life, and
veda, knowledge. Knowledge arranged systematically with logic becomes
science. During the due course of time, Ayurveda became the science of
life. It has it's roots in ancient vedic literature and encompasses our
entire life - the body, mind and spirit.
According
to Ayurveda, every human being is a creation of the cosmos, the pure cosmic
consciousness, as two energies: male energy, called Purusha and female
energy, Prakruti. Purusha is choiceless passive awareness, while Prakruti
is choiceful active consciousness. Prakruti is the divine creative will,
Purusha doesn't take part in creation, but Prakruti does the divine dance
of creation called leela.
