REVISITING GENETICS: THE NEGLECTED PART IN VAJIKARANA
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Fertilization is a very complex and fascinating process in which the genetic material of the mother and father unite. It is because of this union of genetic material the children resemble their parents and inherit traits passed down from both parents. For the union of sperm and ovum, a plethora of factors play an important role. But does the union of sperm and ovum guarantee normal development of zygote? Acharyas of Ayurveda have mentioned many factors which play an important role in the formation of fetus with Samparipurna deha. One among such important factors is the sampad of Shukra and Shonita. Acharyas have also mentioned different conditions which may arise due to abnormalities of Bija, Bija-bhaga or Bija-bhaga avayava. And due consideration should be given to them while evaluating the patient. But the modern day practice of Vajikarana has got limited to just improving the amount or quantity of Shukra. In the present literary/conceptual study, the points related to Genetics – in Ayurveda and Modern Science – will be discussed.
