Praise for Everyday yurveda

Dr Bhaswati has written a book that will help resurrect the knowledge I grew up on, using scientific logic for modern scientists, and slokas for ancient scientists and observers. Her writing will appeal to the intelligent seeker dedicated to achieving a good life using conscious self-care, attention to healthy habits and respect for the wisdom of the ancients.

Bhaswati combines her talents as a healer with passion for sharing truly healing medicine. She has written from the song in her heart that celebrates light, sound and connection with nature.

Bhaswati is uniquely able to diagnose like good medical doctors of the past, watching the patient rather than the test result. With a person-centered approach, this book is a tribute to yurveda and explains why we should pay more attention to the signals our bodies give us.

Bhaswati has preserved the Sanskrit from which dinacharya emanates. Through her unending curiosity and dedication as a well-trained physician, scientist and professor, she has brought basic concepts of yurveda to light. She has toiled and delved deeply with engaging clarity, a fine mind and an extraordinarily connected soul. She teaches yurveda authentically because it is in her heart.

Ancient yurvedic rishis developed dinacharya , a way of maintaining normal body rhythms and staying healthy. Assisted by logic and personal accounts, Dr Bhaswati brings dinacharya alive in this book and reinforces its importance and necessity, especially in busy lives.

Vd. Partap Chauhan,
founder of Jiva Ayurveda

Dr Bhaswati unlocks the age-old tenets of yurveda contained in cryptic Sanskrit verses. Her strong roots in tradition and willingness to branch out to the modern world make this book precious, like any true vidya.

As a fellow Fulbright Scholar, I have witnessed Dr Bhaswati devote her life to researching and preserving yurveda, and bringing it back to the hands and hearts of people.

Foreword

My whole life, I have believed in yurveda. To use its principles in a practical way and to mould it to a crazy schedule like mine is what I have always sought. It is what many of us seek but do not find in easy, accessible ways.

Bhaswati does exactly that. She makes yurveda practical while also preserving its authenticity. Her logic and stories, with her impressive background as a well-qualified medical doctor, scientist and public health specialist from some of the best schools (Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, Princeton, Rush, Cornell and BHU) make the book that much more valuable. Since I have met her in New York, Bhaswati has made it her mission to bring the wisdom of yurveda back to the people in a usable, everyday way.

As an eco-environmentalist and a thinking actor, I often explore good food and sound health choices to keep my skin and face healthy and my body fit, and consume a diet that both satisfies and nourishes.

yurveda rejects the stale, easy, ready-in-a-minute choices in the urban world of jets, trains and film sets, and encourages all things natural. Through this ideology, I have learnt how to understand what my body needs and make choices that allow me to do fun things and still be healthy.

Getting up early is one thing that feels really good. Though I often have late-night engagements that require sleeping in, I am finding that Brahma muhurta rising with the sunactually helps keep my body strong.

When Bhaswati first told me about gandusha for teeth whitening, I enthusiastically asked to learn how to partake! What a great thing to hear the logic and her explanation on how to do it. I offered to be the face for her remedies.

Bhaswati is the person who has taken yurveda from ancient wisdom and brought it into the modern day. When people ask her how a modern medical doctor can be so supportive of yurveda, she gives a cannonball of evidence.

She is smart, she is articulate, and she is kind. Her clinical practice is her best evidence. Her treatments and approaches integrate the best of authentic yurveda, which we know and love, with the practical needs of modern medicine.

When she told me about her book, I was extremely happy. Instead of chasing her down with each skin problem, I now have a handbook to guide me through a strong regimen. She can slightly alter most of the treatment in the book to my particular dosha to make it a medical treatment.

This is also a fun book to read. The writing is unapologetically sensual and spiritual, and reveals her own encounters since childhood amid nature and the ways of yurveda. It will benefit those who want to make and see changes in their health.

Abhay Deol

Preface

Many moons ago, my mornings began in the usual modern, urban Western way: waking up to an alarm clock, a cup of coffee, a quick shower and a whirlwind of multitasking that included checking emails and patient lab reports, eating while organizing the apartment and packing my briefcase before rushing to a metro ride to the hospital. I was efficient, accomplished and pleased.

After a few years, when I began gaining weight, my hair became dry and began to fall, and my gut was bloated too often, I thought these were the inevitable symptoms of aging. A voice deep inside questioned how some people were healthy even in their eighties, while others got sick. Modern medicine had few answers, but lots of tests and drugs to suppress those inescapable symptoms.

Thus, I was provoked onto a journey of questioning whether depletion is unavoidable. I delved deeper into yurveda and found a road introducing me to the concepts of dinacharya (daily routine). Once I succumbed to that inner voice, I became more curious and more aware of many things. I consciously veered away from the usual path and chose to open a quiet solo private practice, wary to enter the limelight of celebrity physicians who tend to become blinded about their primary roles as healers.
