The Causes of Vikruti (Disease) by Nadi Vaidya Dr. Ajit Singh Yadav
Vikruti, or disease, is a state of imbalance in the body and mind, often rooted in deeper factors beyond physical symptoms. Nadi Vaidya Dr. Ajit Singh Yadav emphasizes that the origins of disease can be traced back to both spiritual and lifestyle elements. Past life karma, parental karma, and astrological influences play significant roles in shaping an individual’s health. Additionally, hereditary conditions linked to consanguinity (marriage between close relatives), and the age of parents at conception can contribute to imbalances. Poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and emotional disturbances further exacerbate these issues, leading to disease.
Understanding these underlying causes is crucial for holistic healing, as it allows us to address both the physical and metaphysical roots of illness, aligning with the principles of Ayurveda and Nadi Shastra. This comprehensive view provides a deeper insight into how our actions, emotions, and environment shape our well-being.
1.Past Life Karma
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, our actions from past lives (or Prarabdha Karma) influence our present health. Diseases can be seen as a manifestation of unresolved karma, where the soul carries forward certain tendencies, imbalances, and blockages from one life to another. This karmic cycle impacts the Prakriti (natural constitution) and Vikruti (current imbalances).
2. Parents’ Karma
An individual’s health can also be influenced by the karma of their parents. Ayurveda recognizes that Sanchita Karma (accumulated actions of ancestors) may affect the child’s constitution. For example, hereditary diseases or congenital health conditions can result from the karmic deeds of one’s ancestors. These influences manifest as imbalances in the Tridoshas from birth, affecting overall immunity and susceptibility to certain diseases.
3. Astrological Factors
In Ayurvedic theory, the movement of celestial bodies influences our health and wellbeing. The placement of planets at the time of birth (as described in Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology) can create predispositions towards certain health conditions. For example, an afflicted Moon may indicate mental instability, while malefic influences on Mars can cause skin disorders or inflammation. Understanding these astrological factors helps a Nadi Vaidya diagnose disease patterns more comprehensively.
4. Consanguinity (Marriage Between Close Relatives)
Marriage between close relatives, or consanguinity, is known to increase the likelihood of hereditary diseases. Ayurveda acknowledges that Beeja Dosha (defect in the sperm or ovum) can result in the manifestation of genetic disorders or conditions that are passed down through generations. Such diseases are often difficult to treat and require holistic approaches to manage.
5. Age of Parents
The health of a child can also be affected by the age of the parents. Ayurveda emphasizes that parents who are either too young or too old may not possess the optimal vitality needed to create healthy offspring. Imbalances in the Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue) due to the parents’ age can lead to complications in childbirth, weak immunity, or congenital diseases in the child.
6. Imbalanced Diet & Lifestyle
One of the most significant causes of disease in Ayurveda is an imbalanced diet and lifestyle. Consuming foods that are incompatible with one’s Prakriti (constitution) leads to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), which disrupts the balance of the Tridoshas. For instance:
Excessive spicy and acidic foods aggravate Pitta.
Cold, dry foods increase Vata.
Heavy, oily foods disturb Kapha.
Improper routines, irregular sleep patterns, and lack of exercise further exacerbate these imbalances, leading to conditions like indigestion, hypertension, and diabetes. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of Dinacharya (daily routine) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen) to maintain Dosha balance and prevent diseases.
7. Imbalanced Emotions
Ayurveda teaches that emotional disturbances are directly linked to physical health. Unresolved emotions such as anger, fear, and grief can create imbalances in the Doshas. For instance:
Fear and anxiety increase Vata, leading to conditions like insomnia, joint pain, and constipation.
Anger and frustration elevate Pitta, causing skin rashes, ulcers, and liver issues.
Attachment and lethargy aggravate Kapha, resulting in weight gain, depression, and respiratory problems.
Maintaining emotional balance through meditation, pranayama, and positive thinking is crucial for disease prevention.
Conclusion
Vikruti, or disease, arises from a combination of physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. Influences such as past life karma, parental karma, and astrological forces can predispose individuals to certain imbalances. Hereditary diseases may be linked to consanguinity, or marriages between close relatives, and the age of parents—whether too young or too old—can further affect health. Beyond these factors, modern causes like imbalanced diet and lifestyle, as well as unmanaged emotions, play a crucial role in disturbing the body’s natural balance. Understanding these root causes is key to preventing and treating disease holistically. As emphasized by Nadi Vaidya Dr. Ajit Singh Yadav, addressing these imbalances through Ayurvedic practices can help restore harmony and health.
This holistic view aligns with Ayurvedic wisdom, emphasizing the importance of individualized care and balance in all aspects of life.
