Ayurveda is the system of medicine that evolved in Bharata. It evolved with a rationale logical foundation which has been proven by the success of Ayurveda treatments in various diseases since time immemorial. And therefore it has survived as a distinct entity from remote antiquity to the present day. Ayurveda's knowledge and its medical system is based in the fundamentals that are essentially true for all times and do not change from age to age. It is because these are based on human factors, on intrinsic causes. The self is centered and focused and therefore even for any new medical illness or infection the solutions from Ayurveda's point of view can be searched and applied. The origin of Ayurveda is attributed to Atharva Veda where mention is made several diseases with their treatments. Later, from the 6(th) Century BC to 7(th) Century AD there was systematic development of the science and it is called Samhita period, when a number of classical works were produced by several authors and during this period there is evidence of organized medical care.

Ayurveda's knowledge and its medical system is based on the fundamentals that are essentially true for all times and do not change from age to age. It is because these are based on human factors, on intrinsic causes. The self is centered and focused and therefore, even for any new medical illness or infection, the solutions from Ayurveda's point of view can be searched and provided with positive results. The origin of Ayurveda is attributed to Atharva Veda where mention is made about several diseases with their treatments. Later, from the 6th Century BC to 7th Century AD there was systematic development of Ayurveda as a Shastra. This period is called Samhita period, when a number of classical works were produced by several authors and during this period there is evidence of organized medical care.

Problem of health and conference for its solution
Problem of health and conference for its solution
The origin of Ayurveda can be traced upto its descent on earth from Svargaloka and even beyond that. In first Adhyaya of Charaka Samhita Sutrasthanam the story of origin of Ayurveda is described. It is narrated that, many thousand years ago, some holy sages, out of their compassion for creatures, assembled at an auspicious place near the Himalayas. The reason behind their gathering was to discuss, and find out solution for diseases that were emerging as the obstructions in daily routine as well as in the people's path of attaining [[Purushartha (पुरुषार्थ:)|purusharthas]]. It was the time when human beings had started suffering from rogas (diseases) that were creating impediments in their routine activities as well as in performing (Vratas) religious observance, penance (Tapa), Upavasa (Abstinence and fasting), Adhyayana (study), [[Brahmacharya (ब्रह्मचर्यम्)|Brahmacharya]] (Celibacy) and overall impacting [[Ayu (आयुः)|Ayu]] (life) adversely. Therefore out of their compassion for creatures some holy sages gathered at an auspicious place in himalaya. <ref>Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 1 Sutra 5-)</ref> It was similar to the conference of scholar Rshis of ancient times. Charaka Samhita gives the list of names of various Rshis that were present at this conference.
The origin of Ayurveda can be traced back to its descent on earth from Svargaloka and even beyond that. In first Adhyaya of Charaka Samhita Sutrasthanam, the story of origin of Ayurveda is described. It is narrated that, many thousand years ago, some holy sages had assembled at an auspicious place near the Himalayas. The reason behind their gathering was to discuss, and find out solution for diseases that were emerging in mankind causing obstructions in the people's path of attaining [[Purushartha (पुरुषार्थ:)|'''purusharthas''']] and all required activities to do that. It was the time when human beings had started suffering from [[Roga (रोगः)|'''rogas''']] (diseases) due to deviation from their ideal diet , lifestyle and routine. These diseases in turn started creating impediments in their routine activities as well as in performing (Vratas) religious observance, penance ([[Tapas (तपस्)|'''Tapa''']]), [[Upavasa or Fasting (उपवासः)|'''Upavasa''']] (Abstinence and fasting), Adhyayana (study), '''[[Brahmacharya (ब्रह्मचर्यम्)|Brahmacharya]] ('''Celibacy) which were the integral components of their lives that time. This overall impacted their [[Ayu (आयुः)|'''Ayu''']] (life) adversely. Therefore after looking at this scenario, out of the compassion for creatures some holy sages gathered at an auspicious place in Himalayas. <ref>Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 1 Sutra 5-)</ref> The meeting of the Rshis or the vedic scholars could be regarded as the conference of ancient times. They discussed about the quality of life of people at that time and discussed about the issue in depth. Charaka Samhita gives the list of names of various Rshis that were present at this conference.

Acharya Charaka described these Rshis as follows, <blockquote>
ब्रह्मज्ञानस्य निधयो द(य)मस्य नियमस्य च| तपसस्तेजसा दीप्ता हूयमाना इवाग्नयः||१४||
सुखोपविष्टास्ते तत्र पुण्यां चक्रुः कथामिमाम्| (Char. Samh. Sutra. 1.14-15)</blockquote>The sages that gathered at the Himalayas were the sources of brahmajnana (spiritual knowledge), full of self control (mastery over their sensory & motor organs), and restraint of mind. Due to extraordinary brilliance of penance they were illuminating like a fire. Such vibrant, extraordinarily intelligent vedic scholars discussed about the emerging health issues in mankind and tried to find solution for the same.
==== Four objectives of Life ====
==== Four objectives of Life ====
Few key-points that were discussed in that conference and became the grounds for further search, discussion as well as the very basis for the learning [[Ayurveda (आयुर्वेदः)|Ayurveda]] in later time, have been described by Acharya Charaka. <blockquote>धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणामारोग्यं मूलमुत्तमम्||१५|| रोगास्तस्यापहर्तारः श्रेयसो जीवितस्य च|
प्रादुर्भूतो मनुष्याणामन्तरायो महानयम्||१६||</blockquote>[[Purushartha (पुरुषार्थ:)|Purusharthas]] viz. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are the 4 principle categories of pursuits in human life. The life of a human being was set in the framework of these four Purusharthas by our ancient seers. In order to pursue any and all of these, one has to have good health as a primary criterion. Since Good health is fundamental to achieve Purusharthas, Arogyam (Good Health) is said to be the root or the basic foundation of Purushrthas. Diseases cause ill health and disturb this very basic requirement to perform any activity related to dharma, Artha, Kama or Moksha. Therefore rogas (diseases) appear to be the destroyers of not only health but also of one's welfare, prosperity and life as a whole. Therefore, there was an immense need to find the solution. Realising this need, all of them concentrated on finding the solution. Then in that state of meditation they realized [[Indra (इन्द्रः)|Indra]] as savior. They could understand that only the King of the Gods will be able to tell the correct means of amelioration (of disease). Hence they decided to send a deputation to Indra to ask, learn the solution and teach it to the seers then.
