Three desires to fulfil in life

Caraka Samhita mentions three desires one should fulfil in their lifetime for a happy, successful life.    इह खलु पुरुषेणानुपहतसत्वबुद्धिपौरुषपराक्रमेण हितमिह चामुष्मिंश्च लोके समनुपश्यता तिस्र एषणाः पर्येष्टव्या भवन्ति । तद्यथा – प्राणैषणा, धनैषणा, परलोकैषणेति । । ३ ।।   Prana Eshana   The desire to live well with happiness and longevity. This is the consciousness initially confines and constrains within the body. The subconscious awareness that we are all born possessed of opened up.  Because of this awareness, we are able to continue living and take part in the play that is life.   Dhana Eshana   The desire to earn money legally, in the right way, therefore, is a fundamental aspiration for many individuals. Dhana eshana, the second kind of consciousness, connects the biological self and the phenomenal world, which is associated with the material world. The world’s material splendours now reflect the self. We pursue material possessions like designer clothes, spacious homes, real estate, land, and sizable savings accounts. This searching for outside things along with our yearnings, aspirations, desires, and dreams is a significant portion of our existence. We live through them, and in a daily sense, these material endeavours give our lives meaning.   Paraloka Eshana   The desire to attain Moksha or enlightenment, and consequently, to reach higher consciousness. Paraloka Eshana or Moksha is the playing out of an evolved awareness that has transcended the body and this bright, phenomenal world in its quest for transcendence and escape from whatever bonds that the first two may impose. This is the reason; consequently, the itinerant monk remains unconcerned about his physical form and, moreover, his worldly possessions Propelled by a spiritual inclination or awareness, he sings of realms beyond.   It is impossible to foresee when one instinct will become dominant over the others or which of the three desires in life will eventually take precedence over the others because each soul on a trip follows a road that is entirely unexplored and absolutely unique. At any given moment, the dominant instinct will trigger associated thoughts, wants, acts, and results of those actions (Karma). We can, therefore, deeply know and repair our biological, material, and spiritual selves by, in turn, letting our impulses play out.       If you are struggling with any health issues, you can book a consultation with us or give us a message via WhatsApp at +91 79074 89839.

What are the three stages of life in Ayurveda?

According to Ayurveda, every human being goes through three stages in their life: the Kapha , the Pitta and the Vata phases.    What do these phases comprise?   Let us find out!   Kapha Phase   This is the growth phase, also known as the building phase. This is the time starting from your birth to the puberty phase. During this growth phase, you will feel that you mostly have mucus-related conditions and upper respiratory tract conditions because this is a Kapha-dominant phase.   The nature of Kapha Dosha   The soil and water components make up the majority of Kapha. It is, without a doubt, the densest and most substantial of the three Doshas. In addition to providing the body with structure, cohesion, lubrication, hydration, and sustenance, Kapha is heavy, slow, calm, greasy, smooth, soft, steady, gross, and foggy. It also supports anabolic (building) biological processes and growth.   Pitta Phase   It is also known as the maintenance phase, and this is the time when you reach puberty to the time you reach 50 or 60 years. During this phase, you mostly have conditions around the stomach area, and this includes menstrual issues, reproductive issues, stomach-related issues and many more.     The nature of Pitta Dosha   Fire and water make up the majority of the elements that make up Pitta. Compared to Kapha, Pitta is less dense and more solid than Vata. It controls digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, transformation, and body temperature. It is light, sharp, hot, greasy, liquid, spreading, and subtle by nature.   Vata Phase   It is also called the decline phase. Around 50-60 years, your body begins declining as Vata becomes dominant. During this time, your body will feel muscular-related conditions. When Vata element rises, you experience physical and mental changes, such as dry skin and declining cognitive function.  However, wisdom and softness can also come with the Vata stage.    The nature of Vata Dosha   Vata is the most delicate of the three Doshas, mainly composed of the elements air and ether (space). Vata governs mobility, communication, creativity, flexibility, and expansiveness. It is light, chilly, dry, rough, mobile, subtle, and transparent by nature.   The Kapha, Pitta, and Vata stages of life are consecutive times in our lives when we naturally and physiologically experience an increase in the characteristics that are specific to each of the Doshas. For instance, children who are in the Kapha stage of life have greater access to the attributes of Kapha due to the inherent rise in Kapha traits in the body. However, this also raises the possibility of having a Kapha imbalance because like attracts like. Introducing Kapha-pacifying elements can help kids achieve balance and prevent Kapha imbalances.   Even though all three of these life stages are merely generalizations, this framework may be rather insightful, particularly when examined through the prism of your own experience and takes into consideration the plethora of other factors that are particular to you. You are considerably more likely to experience the effects of those energies that most correspond with your constitution and current level of balance, your mental and emotional character, and your lifestyle choices. Keep in mind that each of us progressively moves from one stage to the next. In the end, what counts is how your unique Doshas are affecting you at any given time.        If you are struggling with any health issues, you can book a consultation with us or give us a message via WhatsApp at +91 79074 89839.
