Classical Treatise & Methodology

Comprehensive Overview of Manovigyan & Bhuta Vidya (मनोविज्ञान एवं भूतविद्या)

Manovigyan and Bhuta Vidya (मनोविज्ञान एवं भूतविद्या) represent the Ayurvedic branch dedicated to mental healthcare, cognitive neuroscience, and psychosomatic harmony. While 'Bhuta Vidya' historically pertained to invisible, idiopathic, and micro-pathological influences affecting consciousness, classical texts integrated it with Manasa Roga (psychological disorders).

Ayurveda views body and mind as inextricably linked — 'Sharira' and 'Manas' are two tripods supporting conscious life. The mind is characterized by three Gunas: Sattva (purity, clarity, equilibrium), Rajas (passion, agitation, hyper-reactivity), and Tamas (inertia, lethargy, darkness). When Rajas and Tamas dominate due to Prajnaparadha (intellectual blasphemy/wrong decisions) and sensory overload (Asatmendriyartha Samyoga), psychiatric pathologies arise.

Treatment is administered through three therapeutic dimensions:
1. Daivavyapashraya: Psycho-spiritual interventions, sound frequency, and mantra therapy.
2. Yuktivyapashraya: Rational physical treatments using Medhya herbs (Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Ashwagandha, Jatamansi) and Shirodhara / Nasya.
3. Sattvavajaya: Classical psychotherapy — consciously restraining the mind from harmful thoughts, cognitive reframing, and cultivating emotional equanimity through Yoga and Pranayama.
