Often, we talk about rich Vedic culture of our country and state that we belong to the ancient system of Gurukulam which existed in the Vedic ages. We also consider health as an important factor and are inclining more and more towards Ayurveda – the applied knowledge of Vedas for health, in the present times. 
 
But Vedas do not just talk about the physical health of an individual, they also emphasize on the mental, spiritual and environmental health too, reinforcing the concept of Jeev-aatma and Jad-aatma. Vedangas were written to understand Upvedas. Ayurveda is a part of the Upveda  and Jyotish is a part of Vedanga.
 
So, with this Summit, we intend to bring forth the lost tradition of using Vedanga-Jyotish in Upvedas-Ayurveda and successfully treating an ailment. We aspire to fill the gap created by practicing Ayurveda and Medical Astrology in isolation. 

I am thankful to Guru Ravidas University for their collaboration for the ‘Summit’ exhibiting their dedication towards Ayurveda and a vision to understand the subject from Vedic perspective.
