Vacancy of Ayurveda Teachers in US

AAPNA has received several requests and inquiries to develop an internationally recognized, in-depth training program in Ayurvedic Medicine for licensed health professionals.  It is very important to offer educational opportunities in ayurveda to licensed health professionals; this endeavor will help bring ayurvedic medicine and wisdom to the forefront of integrative medicine.  There are over 1 million licensed health professionals in the United States who are interested in and/or practicing integrative medicine or health care.  In view of these requests, AAPNA is developing a 2000-hour Post Graduate Diploma in Ayurveda (PGDA) program for licensed health professionals with a college degree. Hence, we request experienced ayurvedic doctors and integrative licensed health professionals, highly experienced vedic teachers including yoga, meditation, vastu, jyotish to join hands to develop the curriculum for the Post Graduate Diploma Program in Ayurveda.  If you are interested to participate in helping to develop such a curriculum and teach at various locations throughout the U.S., please contact us via email to: contact@aapna.org. Please send your complete CV before December 15, 2010. After reviewing applications, faculty teleconference calls will be conducted at regular intervals until the final curriculum of the PGDA program is developed.  

Once finalized, the program details will be posted on the AAPNA website, along with the list of recognized teachers for this program to teach at various locations.

For your understanding and guidance, the following guidelines are provided by AYUSH and NCCAM, respectively:

Navaratri

Today is the first day of Navaratri, a first day of festivals, dance and fast for next 10 days. 

The word "Navaratri", a conjunction of two words "nava" (meaning "nine") and "ratri" (meaning "night"), literally means "nine nights". Sharad Navratri is the foremost of the Navratri festivals. Celebrated during the Hindu Sharad season (September-October), it celebrates the slaying of demon Mahishasura by Goddess Durga. Sharad Navratri is observed for nine days and nine nights, with three days each for the worship of three different aspects of Mother Shakti - as Goddess Durga for the first three days, as Goddess Lakshmi for the next three days and as Goddess Saraswati for the final three days. Nine forms of Mother Shakti(the female form of power) - Durga, Bhadrakali, Jagadamba, Annapurna, Sarvamangala, Bhairavi, Chandika, Lalita, Bhavani and Mookambika - are worshipped during the Navratri. The forms worshipped differ from region to region. This nine days festival is essentially celebrated to worship Goddess and to commemorate the victory of good over evil, i.e bringing to an end the atrocities of Asuras (Evil) like Mahishasuran, Shumban, Nishumban, Madhukaidapan, Thumralochanan and Rakthabheejan. Dussehra – the festival that falls on the tenth day after Navratri (nine nights) is celebrated to rejoice the victory of God Rama over the ten-headed demon – Ravana.

COW URINE IN AYURVEDA

Gomutra is very effective on various ailments. Almost all-Vedic scriptures mentioned Gomutra as a sacred aombrosia of heaven that dispels all somatic & psychological pains of human beings. It had been used in native form i.e. as a drink.
Gomutra not only used to treat various disorders but also in many ceremonies. The five product of cow i.e. milk, curd, ghrita, mutra and dung (panchgavya) had been used in purifactory ceremonies.
The urine of man, cow, goat, sheep, buffalo, elephant, horse and camel have been described in Ayurveda for their medicinal properties. Urine of healthy cow should consider the best amongst these other animals. Although sufficient and detailed literature regarding Gomutra is not available yet their pharmacological properties are defined efficiently.
It has shool haran properties (B.P.Mutravarga 2) which is by far most common complain of the patient suffered with Vata-vyadhi.
It reduces sotha i.e. swelling. (S.S. 45/218) (B.P. Mutra varga 2)
It has kandughana properties thus reduces itching. (B.P. Mutravarga 2)
Sushruta has specially mentioned the kshara properties of gomutra. Which are broadly using in ano rectal disorder like piles, fistula etc.(S.S. 45/218)
Due to slightly madhur rasa (C.S. 1/120), it supposed to have some ropan guna for wounds healing.
It also has lekhan and bhedan guna which are necessary for contaminated and non-healing wounds.
It is easily available and cost effective.

GOMUTRA is very effective medicine in-
Aanaha-Tympanitis
Kilas-Leucoderma
Kustha- Leprosy
Pandu, Kamla-Jaundice
Kasa, swas- Respiratory infection
Atisara- Diarrhoea
Mukh roga, Akshi roga-ENT Disorders (Bhavprakash mutraverga 1-6)
medicinal properties: useful in liver disorders, heart, and skin and kidney diseases. It is also used in insomnia and anemia. It is beneficial in digestive disorders such as dyspepsia, anorexia, constipation, colic’s. Use of gomutra in otalgia relieves pain.

Historical anecdotes have said that drinking gomutra can prevent strokes and helps break down blood clots and scabs.

In 1954 G.W.Sobel isolated the enzymes in urine that the folklore claimed. He named it Urokinase and is now used in preparations to break up clots in heart diseases and prevention of strokes.

In cow urine, urea is the major component. Urea is commonly recognized as an effective antibacterial, antifungal & antiviral agent. The presence of urea in urine is the result of the body’s chemical balancing of sodium chloride and water ratio. When used on wounds, urea causes an osmotic imbalance that kills bacteria and fungus. It is used in many topical ointments and creams. Urea is also found in broad range of medicines used to treat inflammation. It is the main ingredient in the medicine Herpigon, used to treat herpes infection.

Cow urine distillate has been found to enhance the effect of antibiotics. It increases the efficiency of absorption of drugs thus reducing their dosage. This distillate has also been found to increase the activity of anticancer drug Taxol, which is extremely toxic. The dosage of these drugs can also be eventually reduced.

General dosage is 25ml (2 1/2 tola) at a time. Two times a day (Morning and evening) is 50 ml (5 tola). If taken more it cleanses intestines and more motion takes place. It is harmless, as there is no poison. In general small quantity should be taken, Half the general dose.
