Ayurveda: A Path of Karma Yoga, The Principles, The Practices, The Spirituality

This volume is a comprehensive guide to Ayurveda, understood as the science of life and a path to awareness, combining theoretical knowledge, practical application and spiritual depth.Alongside a clear and systematic exposition of the fundamental principles, the book explores the main therapeutic techniques of Ayurvedic massage and Purvakarma treatments, providing precise and detailed instructions that are also extremely useful for professionals in the field.Technical fact sheets on treatments and traditional medicated oils, explanatory diagrams and tables make even the most complex concepts of the discipline accessible.Of particular note is the description of the three fundamental constitutions, which help the reader to clearly recognise their own individual constitution.The book weaves together the author’s personal experiences in India, offering an authentic and intimate insight into the direct transmission of the Tradition. In this context, the practice of Ayurveda emerges as a form of Karma Yoga, in which caring for others becomes a path to personal evolution.The text is complemented by a valuable selection of traditional mantras, a few chosen verses from the Bhagavad Gītā and an original perspective on Ayurveda in its complementary relationship with Yoga: care of the body and the spiritual path go hand in hand on a single path of growth and fulfilment.
