Namaste,

There is an excerpt of an article about the doshas in the following post:

http://aryasamaj.forumwise.com/aryasamaj-post-679.html#679

There are many tests out there which can help a person determine their dosha. But the best means is to visit a qualified doctor of Ayurveda. He or she will not only ask you a lot of questions, but will also measure your pulse in a special way which helps them to determine whether you have a constitution dominated by one or more doshas.

If you want to discuss Ayurveda further, please continue in the thread linked to above.

Namaste Prabhat Ji,

Yes, that's the idea. Although each person is unique, we can all be broadly categorized by our physical type. Each type has certain requirements - things it should favor and things it should avoid. This is true not only with the food we eat but also with the activities we engage in. For example, I am a Vata-type. It would be foolish for me to try and work as a heavy laborer, because my body is simply not built for it. My type is suited to intellectual and managerial work. Heavy labor is best done by Kapha-types, who have a stout, solid frame and big muscles. I'm tall and thin with a rather large head, so I wouldn't do too well digging ditches all day. Laughing

Coming back to Ayush's actual post-
The three Rigved mantras quoted by Zakir Naik imply that meat is offered in agnihotra and cattle are sacrificed - if you follow Saayana's and Maheedhara's interpretation condemned by Swamiji in Satyarth Prakash.
The rules of Nirukta and grammar should be followed and most importantly understand the context in which a word or the verse is told. Take the meaning which is most appropriate and useful .
As Shishya Ji pointed out the Fire mentioned in 10:16:10 refers to the fire used for cremation of the dead. Infact the mantras before and after this one too deal with cremation. So if one quotes out of the blue you can get any number of meanings. Thats the importance of context.
10:86:13 describes the matter/prakriti which gives pleasure to the creatures which will be devoured by the Almighty at the time of dissolution.
10:85:13 - The Gau mentioned in this verse does not mean a cow. In this context of Sun and its passage through constellations ,Gau here should be taken as 'rays ' of the sun. With this the verse begins to make sense - saying - the rays of the sun become feebler in the Magha nakshatra/ Maagha maasa and the nights get more difficult.

Namaste PD,

Actually, yes. Mitra Ji's post is perfectly on-topic. The original question was as to whether or not vegetarianism is taught in the Vedas. Later on, Ayush linked to a clip of a Muslim scholar claiming to prove that the Vedas support meat-eating. Mitra Ji is simply bringing us back to the original topic. The fact of the matter is the rest of us went off-topic talking about Ayurveda. Wink

Namaste Shishya,
Ohh okay, I didn't notice the link in the first page given by Ayush. Zakir Naik is a weird guy, he says vedas are pantheistic but iconoclastic and that they speak of coming of muhammad... Ignore him..

Namaste,

i have seen the composition of various foods that we take the nonvegeterian food does'nt provide much of the body suppliment except few which i quoted in my topic "FOOD CURES" so consumption of nonvegeterian food is not at all required when you get all the suppliments from vegeterian food itself. BUT if have some other reasons to enjoy then Surprised

Ayush · Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:26 pm Post subject:

Actually, if you accept Vedas as scripture that have infallible authority, then the following quote should make it very clear that eating meat is absolutely forbidden! I'm talking about the kind of sin that deserves punishment from God.
(Unless you live in a place where there is zero vegetation)

"One who partakes of human flesh, the flesh of a horse or of another animal, and deprives others of milk by slaughtering cows, O King, if such a fiend does not desist by other means, then you should not hesitate to cut off his head."
Rig Veda Samhita 10.87.16

pappukishore · Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 6:19 am Post subject:

Namaste Ayush Ji,

dosha: (Sanskrit) "Bodily humor; individual constitution."
Three bodily humors, which according to ayurveda regulate the body, govern its proper functioning and determine its unique constitution.
These are
vata, the air humor;
pitta, the fire humor; and
kapha, the water humor.
Vata has its seat in the intestinal area, pitta in the stomach, and kapha in the lung area. They govern the creation, preservation and dissolution of bodily tissue. Vata humor is metabolic, nerve energy. Pitta is the catabolic, fire energy. Kapha is the anabolic, nutritive energy.
The three doshas also give rise to the various emotions and correspond to the three gunas, "qualities:" sattva rajas and tamas.

Namaste Prabhat,

Pain is an unpleasant sensation.
Pain may also refer to:
1.Suffering, an unpleasant feeling or emotion.
2.Pain (philosophy), a theme related to the question of "qualia", and to various aspects of human life.
i see an animal suffering from pain when it is being pierced but not with fruits and vegetables.

Namasteji dear brothers and sisters,

I dont want to start another topic....hope u all dont mind. I was recently diagnose with diabetes. I am still in heavy shock. I am having a hard time giving up my favorite foods.

I have to loose drastic amount of weight. Since i was on certain medication i gained weight. I am curious if there is anything in ayurveda that can help me. I am on a strict diet. I am reading all the materials provided from the hospital.

Somebody mentioned Karilla but most of u know where i live i cant get that. Any Sugessions??

Thanks,
Sunita
