In
the Ayurvedic text books, rejuvenation has been termed as
Rasayana. A definition of Rasayana in Ayurveda is described as
"That which destroys the old age and disease."
That means by taking Rasayana you remain healthy and young. Even
when you are in your 80's or 90's you will be able to perform
your normal duties and you don't have to depend on others.
Rasayana is only one of the eight branches of Ayurveda.
Rejuvenation or Rasayana is not made for sense gratification as
many today think. According to Ayurveda rejuvenation is taken so
that after taking it you become healthy and give your services
for others. It is taken so that you can explore the spiritual
aspect of life and help the society, the sick, the hungry, the
poor and the handicapped.
You can learn how to maintain a balance between material and
spiritual aspects of life and help others also to understand it.
This will help in establishing permanent peace, happiness and
love for which we are always hankering and for which different
governments are spending millions of dollars to achieve.
Ayurveda says that at present we are using a wrong approach to
achieve these things, that's why we are getting frustrated.
Aim of Rasayana
The Rasayana or Rejuvenation therapy aims at keeping the enzymes
in the tissue cells in their normal functioning condition. These
cells are to be revitalised and their composition has to be
changed. The tranquility of the mind has to be promoted and the
nerves as well as bones are to be kept soft and soothened. This
prevents the process of ageing and makes the individual free
from any disease even during an advanced age. He will be able to
see things like before and the sharpness of hearing and vision
continues. The glow in his face and the colour of his skin
remains as before. It is with this in view one has to resort to
rejuvenation therapy.
Time of Administration
The sooner the therapy is administered to the individual the
better. In more advanced age, this therapy does not work well.
Its effect becomes limited. Before starting the therapy, the
following two points are to be observed:
The body of the individual is cleaned of the dirt or the
metabolic waste products through specialised therapies indicated
in the Panch Karma. If the Rasayana is taken after cleaning the
toxins from the body, it gives the best results, though it can
be also taken without it.
The person taking Rasayana is taught to think, speak and work in
such a way which would be conducive to development of a healthy
society. In fact, these conducts are given a lot of importance
in Ayurveda and they themselves are also considered to have
rejuvenating effects on the human body.
Method of taking Rasayana
Most Rasayana therapy is taken in the Kutipravesika method. In
this method the person has to stay indoors while taking the
Rasayana.
Elaborate arrangements are made for the construction of a
special type of cottage where the individual is to be confined.
The person has to strictly follow the diets and other
instructions of the physician. He should undergo Panch Karma
therapy before taking the rejuvenation.
Typical Package
Because of it nature, each Rasayana package must be customised
for the participant. Packages run either 7, 14 or 21-days and
will include Full Accommodation, All Meals, and All Transfers.
Additional tours and excursions depend uupon which resort and
the time of year you go.
