Our book 'Principles and Practices of Ayurvedic Medicines' was written by a professional Ayurveda physician. This book serves the Ayurveda students and practitioners about the day-to-day practice of Ayurveda and also contains descriptions of a number of formulas on the basis of different diseases. Adding to its features, it contains a helpful and exhaustive list of contents and a working index even. This book is of great use for every Ayurveda physician and MD students of Kaya Chikitsa. Despite that there are countless books on various Ayurveda formulas, our book intends to enlighten the readers on the practical aspects of their use.

Looking at the fact that there is indeed a need of a handy manual on these illustrations, so our book is an attempt to present the visuals. The visuals relate to the surgical tools and the pharmaceutical apparatuses and mentioned in the Ayurvedic classical texts. The drawings in the book have been based on these descriptions. There are various surgical instruments presented in the work which are mainly based on their descriptions in the Susruta Samhitd and Astanga Hridayam, the later Ayurvedic texts such as Bhdva Prakdsa, Sdrangdhara Samhitd and Mddhava Niddna and on the works of various commentators on the classical texts like Acarya Dalhari and Cakrpani Datta. The pharmaceutical apparatuses have been based on the details available in the works like the Rasaratna Samuccaya and Rasasrdja Sundara. The books greatly serve the students of Ayurveda who encounter difficulty in visualizing various tools and apparatuses related to surgery and the pharmaceutical practices. The book easily serves students of Ayurveda in both the branches.


The pictures in the present work have been designed on the basis of imagination as per whatever details are available in the texts. The problem of achieving accuracy in terms of designing the actual tools has been further tackled with the support of seminal contribution to the theme by scholars like Sri Girinath Mukhopaddhyaya. It been for the first time, the tools relate to surgery and pharmaceutics have been treated under a single cover.

Rasendra Sara Sarigraha is the one of the oldest and most exhaustive treatise of Rasa Shastra which involves the compilation of various time lasted and therapeutically proved Rasayogras (medicines). This has been penned down by a great erudite scholar in the field of Rasa Shastra Shri Gopal Krishna Bhatt. Among the Rasa literature, it has got wide popularity since most of the practitioners and others used to follow. Our book consists of 5 chapters with near about 2531 verses. The book starts with processing of minerals and metals, following usual salutations. It further proceeds to the manufacturing and therapeutic utilization of the prepared medicines. The purification of mercury has been advised by use of herbal drugs and perhaps it is the first book to explain the rationale method of manufacturing based on the therapeutic utility for example Loha Bhasma.


Overall 600-650 Rasayogas have been compiled, among them a few pure herbal formulations have also gained place. Commercial scale manufacturing of certain drugs like Rasa Manikya etc. are also the contributions of the book. This English translation of the text was done by Dr. P. Suresh & Dr. Vinaya Kumari with the critical and explanatory notes Parimita Bhodhini considering the various reading in the text and the different interpretations found in the commentaries, following the official format, is itself a versatile and is of immense help for the U.G. and P.G. students as a course book and reference book for researchers, scientists, teachers, pharmacists and multidisciplinary institutions. Its appendices and index etc. are the added attraction to the translation.
