INTRODUCTION Yoga and Ayurveda are allied sciences dealing with science of man in depth. Ayurveda approaches to the life process with a holistic view based on the Pancama ha boutic doctorine of the humoural, theory of Tridosa. It considers the 'Sarirendriyasattvatma' rupa composite entity of life process as its field of actions. It is denoted to the welfare of man and his health i.e. the 'Arogya' which has been considered as 'mula' or means of achieving the purusartha catustaya i.e. Dharmarthakama Moksa. So comprehension is the object of life in this tradition. And hence the objectives of this great life science are equally comprehensive. It is not only concerned with human welfare by way of preservation of health and cure of diseases but is also concerned with absolute and relief from fear and grief i.e. liberation. The latter aspect appears to have been dealt more comprehensively by the Schools of Yoga and Tantra. As a principle Ayurveda does not give much importance to the anatomical details of living body, because it is a holistic science and treats the life process as a whole. However, scattered descriptions of biological systems are also seen in Ayrvedic texts. There is a common belief that Ayurveda does not describe the details of nervous system,

2 and it desires the same from Yoga and Tantra traditions obviously there is a prevalent thought that Yoga and Tantra are the rich sources for the knowledge of nervous system and its biological and metaphysical aspects. The nervous system being an important component of the biological assembly of life process, it was considered useful to examine the concept of nervous system in Yoga and Tantra and to evaluate its implications in Ayurveda. And so the present conceptual study was launched with this objective. The literature on classical Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra including many contemporary writings on related subjects were critically examined and assessed to work out the ancient concept of the nervous system. In this study the another has liberally adopted the statements of some later writers like Prof. T.M.P. Mahadevan, Sir John Woodroffe, Dr. D.N.Roy, Theos Bernard, Dr. Bhagwan Das, Nik Douglas, Ajit Mukherjee, Dr. O.P.Jaggi, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Hariharananda Aranya, Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri, Dr. Chintaharan Chakravarty and certain others in order to substantiate his hypothesis. This study has revealed a number of hither to unknown facts about concept of nervous system and thought science of Hindus.

3 The final write up is being presented in seven well identified chapters viz. definition, classification and the critical study of the eight components of Yoga; scientific exposition of Nadi, Mridaya, Kosha and Prana; Oxigin and Development of Tantra and Mantra; Fundamentals of Ayrveda; the Physiological and pathological aspects of Tridosha Theory; general classification of diseases with special reference to Avarnas followed by overall conclusion and a selected bibliography.
