Understanding of Vedic Healing

by Dr Alok Kumar Bhuwan

Basic therapeutic understanding: 

Treatment is intended to relieve or heal the pain.

The three types of pain: spiritual, environmental, and physical. Sanskrit word tapa has two meanings: one is ‘to heat’; the other is ‘pain’. Pain itself is a type of heat. It tempers and heats the mind, emotions and physical body

Pain is of three types

1. Adhyatmik – Spiritual

2. Adhidevik- natural/environmental 

3. Adhibhautik – physical  

Essentially Vedic Dance and Music Therapy (VDMT) Programme prepares you, physically, mentally, emotionally and psychically in such a way that you can remain unaffected by these three types of external tampering.

Adhyatmik – Spiritual pain

As long as we feel the separation from our true identity, we will always suffer spiritually. 

Adhyatmik Tapa is that which comes from living without realization of the inner being, and it is essential so that we strive for a purer experience. 

Adhidevik- natural/environmental 

Pain brought by natural circumstances is also unavoidable.

The course of nature always brings some climatic or geological imbalance such as flood, drought, earth tremors, winds, storms, etc. which affect the balance of the body’s function and generally disturb the normal functioning of life. Business is affected, crop growth is affected and so are many things.

 Adhibhautik – physical  

There is physical suffering. Nature continually tests the body, sometimes by an imbalance of bacteria, sometimes by accidents, or sometimes by mental and emotional shocks.
