The science of Ayurveda rests on the theory of panchmahabhutas or the ‘five elements’ that make up the universe. These five elements are earth (prithvi), water(jal), fire (agni or tej), air (vayu) and ether or space (akash).

Yoga
The ancient science of yoga helps maintain a healthy mind and body, and is at the forefront of disciplines that people the world over are turning to in order to become focussed individuals. Yoga traces its roots to the Sanskrit root yog which means – to unite, yoke, join or harness, to prepare and to use and apply.
Yoga is knowledge of the self. It encompasses knowledge related to the gross and subtle sheaths of the self that have to be purified and perfected by uninterrupted practice and devotion. Man is a product of intellect, emotions, action and determined will. While the seat of intellect is the head, the seat of emotions is the mind. The hand and feet are limbs for action. Yoga lays the foundation for purity in actions, emotions or intellect.
The simple truth is that the pursuit of Yoga results in direct benefits, even if the objective is not one of the spiritual gains. Today, the immense possibilities of Yoga as a physical and mental therapy have emerged at the forefront of a world rife with stress and tensions. Experts have pointed out that yoga balances the nervous and endocrinal systems, which is highly beneficial for all body organs. This is the reason that the discipline of Yoga has gained worldwide acceptance.
It was about two and a half thousand years ago that Patanjali systematized the practice of yoga in his work, Yogasutras, consisting of 195 aphorisms that standardized the practice of yoga. Horever, the yoga system of Patanjali comprised one of the six ancient schools of philosophy of the time and derived a great deal from the influential, atheistic, philosophy of the Samkhya school of thought. Both Yoga and Samkhya influenced Lord Buddha in his early years.
