A Study of the Classical Texts of Ayurveda

The quest for longevity

Charaka Samhita flower

Timeless Teachings for Modern Times

Take one step forward onto a path of discovery within the timeless tradition of Ayurveda. This immersive online series with Dr. Rosy Mann is designed as a practice, a sadhana, inviting direct engagement with the Ayurveda Classical Text Charaka Samhita while exploring the eternal philosophical and traditional teachings of the quest for longevity.

Approaching the classical texts on one’s own can feel overwhelming. Dr. Rosy will guide you in uncovering their deeper meanings and the context in which they were originally taught.

Over nine two-hour weekly online sessions, you will deepen your personal, professional, and clinical knowledge of Ayurveda.

Deepen your knowledge of the timeless teachings of the Ayurveda Shastra (science), including:

  • Ayurveda avatarana and avabodha: how Ayurveda traversed from manifestation to oral tradition, to the written form of the Vedas
  • Darshana Shastra: expanding your knowledge of philosophy beyond Sankhya into the other five Darshanas
  • The Maha Gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas: the great cosmic and mental energies
  • Padartha Vigyana: an exploration of the metaphysical nature of reality

This online program is an invitation into the vast, unbounded ocean of Ayurveda, a tradition with no beginning and no end. Together in community, we contemplate deeper questions of consciousness, eternity, and what it means to live in alignment with the natural laws of Ayurveda.
