Once upon a time, Yogis affected by diseases due to their faltered lifestyle sought remedies for it and gathered in the Himalayas. It was then that Brahma (the ultimate knowledge) recounted the information of Ayurveda and passed it on to Daksha Prajapathi, Ashwini Kumaras and to Lord Indra. Sage Bharadwaja, one amongst the Yogis from the Himalayan gathering approached Lord Indra and received the knowledge of Ayurveda from him. He then brought it down to teach all the other sages. These sages learnt their parts and created various texts (schools) of Ayurveda.

Thus were formed the varied schools of Ayurveda – a narrative that helps one understand how wisdom is attained by sadhana from within. One needs to raise one’s consciousness to those levels and align oneself to the infinite being, where the universal truth descends and reveals itself.
