1. PRAKRUTI: Made By: Bhagora Vanshvardhan B, Enrollment No :1910400143(43) Subject: Kriya Sharira Topic: Prakriti Standard:BAMS Class:4 th Year Old, Collage Name: Aarihant Ayurvedic Medical Collage & Research Institute

2. PRAKRUTI: According Ayurveda Every Individual In Unique. Not Only Each Individual Has Different Size & Shape But Its Physiological & Even Psychological Characters Are Different. This Is Because They Have Predominant Panchamahabhuta , Dosha Or Triguna At The Time Of Birth Which Decides Their Constitution. Once This Constitution Is Set, It Is Permanent For That Individual. It Is Like Water Mark On The Currency Notes. Once This Predominance Is Decided, Every Tissue, Every Organ & Every System In The Body Has This Mark Or Predominance In Them & Hence They Function According To This Predominance. If Proper Care Is Not Taken Then, This Slight Predominance May Lead To Certain Disease.

3. This Is Because Of Prakriti Or Constitution. According To This Predominance Every Individual Needs Certain Type Of Food, Drinks & Behavior To Keep Him Healthy. Therefore Each Individual Must Know His Own Constitution So That He Can Take Opposite Qualities Of Foods, Drinks Etc. To Keep Him Healthy. Hence Ayurvedic Physician Makes An Attempt To Understand Prakriti Of Each & Every Patient So That Proper Advice Of Health Can Be Given To His Patient. Prakriti Is Also Important For Making Correct Diagnosis Of The Disease, For Giving Proper Treatment & Rasayana To The Patient.

4. Deha Prakriti (Body Constitutions/ Human Nature) Every One Of Us Are Born With Unique Features Of Our Own. May That Be Physical Characters, Skin Tone, Structure, Voice, Behavior, Intelligence, Immunity, Health Status, Behavioral Patterns, Wisdom, Skill, Disease, Tendency, Psychological State, Likes & Dislikes, Food Choices, Digestive Strength, Personal Life Preferences, Body Capacity Or Nature. This Entity Which Defines Health An Individual’s Constitution Is Called As Prakriti . Ayurveda Defines Health As A State Of Physical, Psychological, Social & Spiritual Well-Being & Is Based On The Theory Of Panchamahabhoota (The 5 Basic Elements- Space, Ether, Air, Fire, Water & Earth) & Tridoshas (3 Biological Humors- Vata , Pitta & Kapha ) Which Are Present In Each & Every Cell Of The Body Along With Mind & Spirit. Together These Three Doshas Determine The Physiological Balance & Physical Constitution Of The Individual Making A Prakriti . Everyone Has All 3 Dosahas & Trigunas (Psychological Qualities- Satwa , Rajas & Tamas ) Inside The Body Arranged In Specific Configuration & Different Proportion Which Can Be Different In Different Individuals. Therefore, We All Are Different. Depending Upon The Predominance Of The Three Doshas & Trigunas A Particular Form Of Prakriti Is Formed.

5. Tridosha Contributes For Physical & Physiological Quality & Triguna Form Psychological Quality In An Individual. In Spite Of Presence Of All The Three Doshas & Trigunas In An Individual, A Dominant Dosha In The Body Makes The Prakruthi Of An Individual. If Vata Dosha Is Dominant In The Body In The Such Person Will Have Vata-Prakriti . If Pitta Dosha Is Dominant In The Body Then Individual Will Have Pitta- Prakriti . If Kapha Dosha Is Dominant In An Individual Then He/She Will Have Kapha - Prakriti . Sometimes An Individual May Have Combination Of Any Two Doshas To Make A Prakrruthi . That Is An Individual Who Has Both Vata & Pitta Dosha In Equal Proportion Then He Will Have Vata -Pitta Prakruthi . So Is Pitta- Vata Prakruthi , Pitta- Kapha Prakruthi & Kapha-Vata Prakruthi & Kapha -Pitta Parkruthi . If All the Three Doshas Are Equally Present In Its Best Configuration Then Its Is Sama Prakruthi Or Vata -Pitta- Kapha Prakruthi . Each Doshas Has Particular Qualities, Properties & Functions As Explained In Earlier Chapter. The Individual Carrying Dominance Of A Particular Dosha Will Show That Quality In His Characters.

6. Eg : If A Person Has Vataprakruthi Means The Vata Dosha Is Dominant In His Body. The Quality Of Vata Is Dryness, Roughness, Cold, Light Weight, Active & Mobile. This Person With Vata-Prakruthi Will Have Dryness & Roughness In Skin, Nails, Hairs,Eyes , Lips. The Body Is Cold On Touch. The Person Will Be Always Moving, Hyperactive & Quick. This Principle Holds Same For Other Doshas Too. The Prakruthi Of An Individual Is Decided Right From The Time Of Fertilization Of Sperm & Ovum. The Qualities Of Doshas Will Be Carried In Sperm( Shukra ) & Ovum( Shonita ) At The Time Of Conception, & After Mutual Interaction Between The Doshas Of Father(Sperm) & Mother(Ovum) Whichever Dosha Turns Dominant The Pregnancy Will Attain That Particular Prakriti . Eg : If Sperm Carries Vata & Kapha : If Ovum Carries Vata & Pitta Then The Progeny Will Have Vata Doshas As Dominant Dosha Which Makes Prakruthi Along With Subordinate Doshas . This Is Because Vata Dosha Is Present Both In Sperm As Well As Ovum.

7. Ayurveda System Defined ‘ Deha Prakriti ’ As The Somatic Constitution. The ‘ Prakriti ’ Word Denote The Innate Quality, Integral Quality Or The Nature & The “Natural Tendency” Of A Person’s Constitition . Prakruthi Makes Each Person Unique In Terms Of Physical, Physiological & Psychological Characteristics. It Is Determined Not Just By An Individual’s Genetic Composition Received From Parents. But Also Factors Like Diet & Lifestyle Habits Of The Mother During Pregnanancy ( Matuaahara - Vihara ),Time Of Conception, Age Factor Of Mother, Time Of Ovulatory Cycle(Kala), Health Status Of Uterus( Garbhashaya ), Five Basic Elements & Its Configuration( Mahabhuta Vikara ) Influence Formation Of Prakruthi . The Doshas Are The Biological, Functional Units That Assemble To Form An Organism With The Help To Understand Both Normally( Prakriti ) & Abnormalities( Vikriti ) In An Individual. The Vata Dosha Having Chalaguna (Movement) Is The Source Of Kinetic Energy Initiating All Kinds Of Mobility. The Pitta- Dosha Involves In The Body’s Metabolism & Transformation. The Kapha-Dosha Takes Care Of The Body’s Growth & Maintenance Including Homeostasis, Repair, Reproduction & Regenesis .

8. Vyutpatti , Nirukti , Various Definitions & Synonyms For The Term “ Prakriti ” The Word Prakriti Is Made Up Of 3 Words. Prakriti = Pra+Kri+Ti . Prakriti Is The Natural State Or Condition Of Any Thing, Cause & Origin. The Word ‘ Pra ’ Means “Origin” Or “New Beginning’ ‘ Kri ’ Means To “To Do” Or “To Perform” ‘Ti’ Means “To Intensify”. Thus Prakriti Is Defined As The Entity, Which Manifests At The Time Of Origin Of Life. Prakriti Is The Activated & Lively Expression Of The 3 Dosha Denoted In Physical, Physiological & Psychological Attributes To An Individual. It Is The Enumeration Of Both Internal & Exterior Body Features. ‘ जन्ममरणान्तरालभाविनी अविकारिणी दोषास्थिति प्रकृति :’( RasaVaisheshika ) The Prakruthi Is Originated During Birth & Remains Fill Death. Prakruthi Will Not Change Even Though Doshas Fluctuate Or Vary.

9. Synonyms: The Synonyms Of Prakriti Are Like- Swabhava Yonau Linge Paramatamani Dharani Saktau Etc.

10. Swabhava , (Natural Quality, Traits, Behaviour ) Pradhana , (Predominant Features) Sharira-Swarupa ,(Personality) Mijaja , (Disposition) Lingam, (Somatotype) Yoni, (Phenotype) Amatya ,(Salient Features Of Body) Durgam ,( Temperment ) Guhye , (Constitution) Swarupa ,(Naturel Appearance) Stri , (Originated From A Body)

11. What Is Prakriti : In The Society, We Observe The Differences In The Individuals. Some Like Chilly, Spicy Food, Others We Are Sweet Eaters. Some Enjoy Warm Summer, Some Prefer Winter. Some Are Big Eaters While Others Prefer To Eat Small Quantity Of Food. This Shows That Each & Every Individual Has Its Own Specific, Liking & Disliking. This Individualistic Features Are The Manifestations Of Prakriti Or Constitution Or Biotype. In Short Prakriti Means Individual Nature. प्रकृति: शरीरस्वरुपम ’( Arunaduttha )

12. Definition Of Prakruti : ‘ जन्ममरणान्तरालभाविनी अविकारिणी दोषास्थिति प्रकृति :’।।( RasaVaisheshika ) Qualitative & Quantitative, Unchangeable Doshika Predominance From Birth To Death Is Called As Prakriti . समपित्तानिलकफा : केचिद्गर्भादि मानवा : । दृश्यन्ते वातला : केचित्पत्तला : श्लेष्मलास्तथा ।। तेषामनातुरा : पूर्वे वातलाद्या : सदातुरा : । दोषानुशयिता ह्येषां देहप्रकृतिरुच्यते ’।। (C.Su.7/39-40) People Are Born With Various Proportion Of Doshas & Body Constitutions Are Made Accordingly. The People Those Are Borne With The Equal Proportion Of 3 Doshas i.e. Vata , Pitta & Kapha In Equal Proportion Are Called Sama Prakriti . These Individuals Are Generally Healthy People & Remain Healthy. Few Of Them Show Predominance Of One Dosha

13. Those Exhibiting Predominance Kapha Are Sleshma Prakriti , Those With Pitta Are Pitta Prakriti & With Vata Are Called Vataja Prakriti . These Ekadosha Predominance Prakriti Persons Are Frequently Fall Sick. प्रकृतिर्नाम यत्र जन्ममरणान्तरालभाविनी गर्भावक्रान्तिसमये स्वकारणोद्रेकजनितानिर्विकारिणी दोष स्थिति :’। ( Rasavaisheshika -Sutra 1.6) Prakriti Is Defined As The Group Of Characters Inherited By An Individual From Shukra (Spermatozoon) & Shonita (Ovum) Of The Parents Depending Upon The Predominance Of Dosha Or Doshas Prevailing At The Time Of Sexual Intercourse. That Characters(Physical & Mental) Peculiarities Remain With Him Or Her Till Death.

14. Prakriti Is Stated To Be Formed Just As Sarpavisha In The Posionous Snake Or Creature & As Toxin In Toxic Plant. Since The Poison Is Not Harmful To The Creature In Which It Is Present, In The Same Manner, The Prakriti Which Is Formed At The Very Starting Of Life, Will Not Be Harmful To The Individual. Since The Body Is Merely A Multiplied & Developed Form Of Shukra-Shonita , The Dosha , Predominance In The Form Of Prakriti Will Also Reach To Each & Every Cell Of The Body & Ultimately Become Natural & Inherent To The Whole Body.

15. प्रकृति : शरीरस्वरुपम ’( Arunaduttha ) - Prakriti Is Feature( Swaroopa ) Of Body( Sharira ). Prakriti Is An Expression Of One’s Constitutuion That Is Individual Specific. Prakriti Is A Set Of Characteristics That An Individual Develops From The Embryological Stage As A Result Of The Effect Of Physiologically Normal Dosha , Which Then Persists & Appears As Behavior Throughout One’s Life. Due To Specific Reasons, Particular Dosha Becomes More Intense During Embryogenesis Which Leads To A Distinct Psychosomatic Manifestation. Each Kind Of Prakriti Has Its Own Set Of Physical, Physiological, Psychological, Emotional, Spiritual, Behavioral & Social Trait. People Are Born With Different Proportions/Configuration & Combinations Of Dosha Which Results In Deha Prakriti . These Features Distinguish One Person From Another, Causing Individuality Among Living Creatures.

16. How Prakriti Is Formed ? ‘ शुक्रशोणितसंयोगे यो भवेद्दोष उत्कट :। प्रकृतिर्जायते तेन -’।।(Su.Sha.4/63) Doshika Predominance, At The Time Of Union Of Male & Feamle Gamete, Forms Of Prakriti . For Example, At The Time Of Birth If, Vata Dosha Is Predominant(Quantitatively & Qualitatively)Compared To Pitta & Kapha , Then We Call The Individual Having Vataja Prakriti . Predominant Vata Dosha Affects The Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology & Immunity Of That Person. Features Are Seen, According To Properties & Functions Of Vata Dosha . The Prakruthi Is Formed During The Time Of Conception. After Fertilization Of Shukra & Arthava In Zygote There Will Bee Influence Of Three Dosha . During This Time Which Ever Dosha Takes The Dominance That Becomes The During This Time Which Ever Dosha Takes The Dominance That Becomes The Prakruthi Of An Individual That Is Derived From The Doshas .

17. Thus By Dosha Dominance At The Time Of The Gamete Union The Prakruthi Is Formed. That Prakruthi That Is Produced In The Very Beginning Stage Of Embryonic Life Will Be An Individual’s Basic Constitution That Shall Remain Same Till Death. Therefore, The Prakruthi Which Is Formed & Determined From The Time Of Conception Will Remain Constant Through Life.

18. Others Factors Responsible For Determination Of Prakriti : Sushruta Has Mentioned That The Condition At The Time Of Union Of Male & Female Gamete Also Affects The Formation Of Prakriti . Charaka Has Mentioned Following Additional Factors Which Determine The Prakriti . Nature Of The Season Condition Inside The Uterus Food Of Mother, During Pregnancy Other Regimens Adopted By Mother During Pregnancy. ‘ तद्यथा – शुक्रशोणितप्रकृति , कालगर्भाशयप्रकृतिम , आतुराहारविहारप्रकृतिं , महाभूत - विकारप्रकृतिं च गर्भशरीरमपेक्षते । एतानि हि येन येन दोषेणाधिकेनकेनानेकेन वा समनुबध्यन्ते , तेन येन दोषेण गर्भोडनुबध्यते ’ ।।(C.Vi.8/95)

19. Prakriti Or Physical Constitution Or Temperament Of The Individual Is Determined By The Following Factors Such As- ‘ शुक्रशोणित प्रकृति ’ - Dosha Dominating The Sperms & Ovum During The Time Of Conception. कालगर्भाशय प्रकृति (Seasons & Condition Of Uterus) -Characters Formed During The Intra Uterine Life. This Again May Be Due To- Kala- Dosha Predominance During Dharanakala Of Garbha . Garbhashaya - The Condition Of The During The Pregnancy Ex. An Infected Birth Canal Gives Birth To Saugandhika Nampusaka , An Infective Uterus Is Likely To Deliver A Premature & Ill Developed Baby.

20. ‘ मातुहारविहार प्रकृति ’ (Foods & Regimens Of The Mother)- The Diet & Behavior Of The Mother During Pregnancy Will Have An Impact On The Body Of The Baby To Whom She Is Going To Deliver.E.g . Sedative Or Tranquilizers Are Likely To Produce Developmental Anomalies In The Off Spring When Used During Pregnancy. ‘ महाभूतविकारप्रकृति ’ (Nature Of Mahabhuta Comprising The Foetus )- It Has Been Mentioned In The Sukshma Shareera Chapter That The Mahabhutas Which Predominate During Pregnancy Will Have Rise To Their Respective Prakritis . For Instance If Prithvi & JalaBhuta Are Predominant In The Parents At The Time Of their Union In Coitus & During Pregnancy In The Mother- A Sleshma Prakriti Child Is Likely To Be Born. If Vayu & Aakash Bhuta Are Dominating- A Vata Prakriti Child Will Bear & Similarly Agni & Jala Bhuta Predominant Will Give Pitta Prakriti Child

21. From The Above Description It Indicates That Foetus Get Afflicted With One Or More Of The Doshas , Which Are Dominantly Associated With Those Factors. The Physical Constitution Of An Individual Is Determined On The Basis Of The Dominant Doshas When They Initially Unite In The Form Of Foetus With The Help Of Above Factors. Vagabhatta Again Has Mentioned That- ‘ शुक्रासृग्गर्भिणीभोज्यचेष्टागर्भाशयर्तुषु । य: स्याद्दोषोडधिकस्तेन प्रकृति : सप्तधोदिता ’।(A.H.Sha.3/83) Depending On The Dosha That Is Predominated In The Shukra (Spermatozoon) Asrik (Ovum) At The Time Of Their Union, In The Bhojya (Food), Chesta (Activities) Of The Garbhashya (Uterus) & Ritu (Season) 7 Kinds Of Prakriti Are Produced.

22. Apart From These Above Factors Prakriti Also Formed On The Basis Of- ‘ तत्र प्रकृतिर्जातिप्रसक्ता च, कुलप्रसक्ता च, देशानुपातिनी च, कालानुपातिनी च, वयोडनुपातिनी च , प्रत्यात्मनियता चेति । जातिकुलदेशकालवय : प्रत्यात्मनियता हि तेषां तेषां पुरुषाणां ते ते भावविशेषा भवन्ति ’ ।(C.In.1/5) JatiPrasakta (Racial) KulaPrasakata (Familiar) Deshanupatini (Natural Variation Of Desha) Vayo-Anupatini (Natural Changes According To Age) Kalanupatini (Natural Changes According To Time) Pratyatmaniyata Sara Prakriti

23. Jatiprasakta (Racial Pecullarities ) Etc Are Specific To Race Of The Individuals. E.g. Chinese & Nepalis Are Generally Born With Stunted Nasal Bridge. Negros Is Black & Hyper Pigmented. People Of Western Races Look Like Albinos(Copper Coloured Skin & Eyes ). Caste/Occupation Have Significant Effect In Shaping A Man’s Fundamental Constitution & Personality. Negros Face Albino People Chinese & Nepali

24. KulaPrasakta (Family/Ancestry)- The Tendency Of Inheritance That Is Prevalent In A Particular Family Running Through Many Generation Can Influence The Progeny. Or The Temperament Of A Family ‘s Progeny Is Always Influenced By The Character & Conduct. Certain Families Will Have Some Peculiarities, Which Are Confined To Them Only. E.g. Dwarfism Etc.

25. 3.Desha- Anupatini (Geo-Climate Factors): The Habitat Based On Geography, Weather Prevalent In That Geography, Climatic Regions Such As Asanupa (Marshy Region), Sadharana (Normal Region), & Jangala (Arid Region). Will Have Influence In One’s Prakruthi . The Majority Of People Living In An Ecosystem Have Their Prakriti Aligned With The Ecosystem‘s Prakriti .

26. 4. Kala- Anupatini (Time Scale): Season( Ritu ) & Time(Time Of Conception) Influence An Individual ‘s Prakriti .

27. 5. Vaya - Anupatini (Age): Age Of Parents During Conception & Variation In Features Of The Progeny At Different Age Are Part Of Prakruthi . The Dosha Dominance In Individual ‘s Physiology Is Influenced By Age. The Dominance Of Dosha In Each Age Group Like- Kapha In Childhood, Pitta In Middle Age & Vata In Old Age- Are Seen.

28. 6. Pratyatmaniyata (Individuality) Through The Offspring ‘s Genetic Constitution Is Established By The Parent ‘s Genetic Constitution, The Offspring ‘s Prakruthi Is Ultimately Decided By Cell Division(Due To Vata Dosha ) During 1 st Meiosis While Fertilization. It Gives The Child A Genome Or Prakruthi That Can Be Similar Parents Or Can Be Completely Different From Both Parents. Pratyatmaniyata Is The Variance That Is Unique In Each Person. It Is Produced By The Permutation & Combination Of Panchamahabhutas . This May Be Inferred To Be Governed By Daiva (Destiny) Or Purvajanma Krita Samskara (Past Life Deeds).

29. Importance Knowledge Of Prakriti : If We Observe Different Individuals & Their Nutritional Requirements, Their Tolerance To The Atmosphere Or Their Behavior Parents, We Find That For Maintaining Health, They Have Different Needs. They May Prefer Different Types Of Food, Drink & Activity. Even If Two People With Identical Weight & Heights Are Chosen, Their Requirements Still May Be Quite Varied. One May Prefer Large Amounts Of Food Or Drinks, While The Other May Prefer Less. If We Analyze The Serum Or Blood, In These Individuals, We May Not Find Any Substantial Difference. Yes Differences Clearly Exist. Therefore, It Becomes Clear That Tolerance To Food, Drink Or Environment Cannot Be Decided By The Analytical Study Of Body Tissues. It Depends Upon Individual Constitution. By Understanding The Constitution Of Every Individual, We Know Which Food & Drink & What Type Of Job & Exercise Are Appropriate For Maintaining Their Health. As There Is A Predominance Of Dosha In Each Individual, Each Type Requires Substances Different Or Opposite To The Constitution To Maintain Health. Vata People Possess Quality Of Coldness, Dryness, Roughness & Lightness.

30. Hence A Person Of Vata Constitution Requires Food Which Is Worm Or Hot, Oily Or Unctuous. Otherwise, There Is Always Tendency For Vata To Increase, Giving Rise To Vata Diseases. To Compensate This High Vata The Person Should Eat Food Having Sweet, Sour & Salty Tastes. For Maintenance Of Health, Every Person Should Know His Or Her Constitution. We Have Seen That In Each Constitution There Is A Predominance Of One Or More Doshas . If The Daily Activities, Diets, Occupation & Behavior Are Not Adjusted To Balance This, Then The Constitutional Humor Will Increase, Thus Giving Rise To Its Characteristic Diseases. If The Constitution Is Known Then Herbs, Diet & Other Regimens Including Yogic Postures Can Be Advised Correctly Both For Disease Treatment & To Promote Longevity.

31. Classification Of Prakriti : ‘ सप्त प्रकृतयो भवन्ति – दोषै : पृथक् , द्विश :, समस्तश्च ’ ।(S.Sha.4/62) Prakriti Is Of 7 types By Doshas Seperately , 2 Combined & Aggregate Of All Ex. Vata , Pitta, Kapha , Vata -Pitta, Vata-Kapha , Pitta- Kapha , Vata -Pitta- Kapha . Vagbhata Again Has Mentioned That- ‘ तैश्च तिस्र : प्रकृतयो हीनमध्योत्तमा : पृथक् । समधातु : समस्तासु श्रेष्ठा , निन्द्या द्विदोषजा :’।(A.H.Su.1/10) Prakriti Is Of 3 Types Such As Hina ( Of Vata )( Poor,weak ), Madhya(Of Pitta) (Medium, Moderate) & Utter(Of Kapha )( Best,Strong ) From Each Of The Dosha Respectively, The Constitution Arising From Equal Proportion Of All Doshas Is The Samdhatu Prakriti , Which Is Ideal; Those Arising From Combination Of 2 Doshas Are Nindya (Denounced).

32. Charaka Again Has Mentioned That- समपित्तानिलकफा : केचिद्गर्भादि मानवा : । दृश्यन्ते वातला : केचित्पत्तला : श्लेष्मलास्तथा ।। तेषामनातुरा : पूर्वे वातलाद्या : सदातुरा : । दोषानुशयिता ह्येषां देहप्रकृतिरुच्यते ’।। (C.Su.7/39-40) At The Time Of Conception, In Certain Individuals , There Is Equilibrium Of Vata , Pitta & Kapha , Some Are Dominated By Vata ( Vatala ), Some Are Dominated By Pitta( Pittala ), Some Are Dominated By Sleshma ( Sleshmala ), Some Are Dominated By Two Doshas I.e. By Vata -Pitta, Pitta- Kapha , Kapha-Vata . Out Of These Categories, Individuals Of The First Category, By Nature Maintain A Normal Health. Those Belonging To Other Categories Always Suffer From One Or The Other Of The Bodily Defects, Although They Might Apparently Be Having Normal Health.

33. For Example- Even If A Person Is Healthy There Wise, But If He Is By Nature Dominated By Vata , He Will Be Susceptible To The Cracking Of The Different Parts Of The Body. This Happens Because; The One Or Other Of The Doshas Dominates The Very Normal Condition Of Health Of Such Individuals. Such Individuals Are Said To Have Normal Health, Not Because Their Conditions Are Absolutely Normal, But Because The Condition Of Their Body Whatsoever They Have It Since Birth & It Continue For The Whole Life. Such Conditions Are Changed In Certain Individuals Only To Indicate Imminent Death. As It Has Been Stated By Sushruta I.e. The Doshas Relating To The Natural Conditions Of The Body( Prakriti ) Get Never Enhanced, Transformed, Or Diminished Except In The Cases Of Moribund Individuals.

34. Types Of Prakriti : Actually Not A Single Individual Is A Like The Other. In This Way There May Be Innumerable Varieties Of Individuals Or Innumerable Prakriti . But For Practical Purpose, Prakriti Has Been Classified As Follows: Classification No:1 Doshaja Types: According To Predominance One Or Two Doshas , Types Of Prakriti Are Seven: Vataja Pittaja Kaphaja Vata-pittaja Pitta- Kaphaja Vata-Kapahja Vata - Pitta- Kaphaja Is Sama-Doshaja Prakriti .

35. This Is The Variety Of Classification Where The Prakruthi Is Formed By The Influence Of Tridoshas Namely Vata , Pitta & Kapha . There Can Be Chances Where Prakruthi Formed By The Presence Or Dominance Of Only One Dosha . Sometimes The Prakruthi Can Be Produced With The Combination Of Two Doshas . Rarely There Can Be Chances Where The Three Doshas Take Equal Proportion Of Dominance To Form One Prakruthi In An Individual. Vata , Pitta, Kapha , Vata-Kapha , Kapha -Pitta & Samadoshaja Prakriti (All Three, I.e. Vata - Pitta- Kapha ) Are The Seven Forms Of Prakriti . [ Cha.Sa.Vimanasthana 8/95] Among These, Three Kinds Have Single Dosha Preponderance, Three Have Two Dosha Predominance And One Has All Three Doshas Balance.

36. However In Practice We Do Find Another 3 Types Viz. Pitta- Kaphaja Kpaha-Vataja Kapha-Pittaja Thus Making The Total Of 10 Types. Classification No:2 Bhautika Prakriti According To Predominance Of Panchabhautika Elements, There Are 5 types Of Prakriti : Parthiva Apya Taijas Vayaviya Akashiya

37. The Five Mahabhoota Namely Akasha , Vayu , Agni, Aap & Prithvi Make Up The Human Body, As Well As Three Basic Principles Known As The Tridosha . The Body Air Principle Known As Vata Is Manifested From The Akasha & Vayu Components. The Agni & Aap Elements Come Together In The Body To Form Pitta Dosha . The Prithvi & Aap Components Manifests As Kapha . Similarly, The 5 Mahabhuta Can Produce 5 Different Prakruthis Which Contain Similar Qualities Like That Of Mahabhoota Depending On The Dominance. The Five Varieties Of Prakriti Based On Predominance Of These Panchabhautik Components Are: Vayavya ( Vayu Mahabhoota ) Prakruthi Jaliya ( Jala Mahabhoota ) Prakruthi Agneya (Agni Mahabhoota ) Prakruthi Parthiva ( Prithwi Mahabhoota ) Prakruthi Nabhasa ( Akasha Mahabhoota ) Prakruthi

38. The Vayavya , Jaliya & Agneya Prakriti People Will Have Characteristics That Are Similar To Vata , Kapha & Pitta Dominant Prakriti , Respectively. The Stature Of A Person With A Parthiva Constitution Is Large, & He Or She Is Firm, Powerful & Muscular. The Nabhasa Constitution Is Characterized By Piousness, Longevity & Huge Aural Cavities [Su. Sa. Sharirasthana 4/79].

39. Classification No:3 Gunamayi Prakriti According To predominance Of Sattva , Rajas , Tamas , Gunamayi Or Manas Prakriti Is Decided. Sattvika Prakriti : Brahma Indra Paisacha Kaubera Gandharva Yamya Rishi Sattva

40. 2. Rajasika Prakriti : Asura Rakshasa Paisacha Preata Sarpa Gandharva 3. Tamas Prakriti : Pashava Matsya Vanaspatya

41. Classification No:4 Jatyadi Sapta Prakriti This Classification Has Mentioned In Astanaga Sangraha . Jatiniyat Prakriti - Features According To Caste Like Brahmana , Kshatriya, Vaishya & Shudra Deshaniyat Prakriti (Habitation) Kalaniyat Prakriti (Seasonal) Vayaniyat Prakriti (Age)- Childhood- Kapha Dominance, Youth-Pitta Dominance, Old Age- Vata Dominance Balaniyat Prakriti (Strength) Pratyatmaniyat Prakriti

42. Quality Assessment Of Prakriti In Doshaja Prakriti , Sama Prakriti Or Tridoshaja Prakriti Is The Best. But This Is Found Rarely. Dual Prakriti Is Nindya Or Bad Out Of This Pitta- Kaphaja Is Bad, Vata-Kaphaja Is Worse Vata-Pittaja Is Worst. Single Doshaja Prakriti Is Better. In These Types Vata-Prakriti Is Good, Pitta Is Better & Kapha Is Best. Quality Assessment Of Prakriti Indicates- Status Of Health Difficulty In Maintaining Healthy State & Response To Treatment In Diseased Conditions.

43. Doshaja Prakriti : In All The Above Classification Doshaja Types Are More Useful In Day- To-day Practice. According To Dosha -Predominance At The Time Of Union Of Male & Female Gamete, The Doshaja Prakriti Is Determined The Features Of Doshaja Predominance Have Been Clearly Mentioned By Ayurvedic Texts. According To These Features, One Can Easily Diagnose The Predominance Of Single Or Dual Dosha . When There Are Equal Features Of All The 3 Types, It Is Tridosha Prakriti . Out Of All texts Of Brihat Trayi , Only Charaka Has Mentioned, Dosha - Predominant Features, Explaining Its Relation With The Properties Of Dosha , e.g. Due To Dry Property, The Body Is Dry & The Person Is Undernourished( Apachita ). In Sushruta & Vagabhatta , There Is Only Listing Of Predominant Qualities.

44. Dual Constitution: ‘ संसर्गात् संसृष्टलक्षणा :’।(C.Vi.8/99) Individuals Having Constitution Dominated By The Combination Of Two Doshas Are Characterized By The Combination Of The Manifestations Of Respective Doshas . The Prakuthi Produced By Dominance Of Two Doshas Make Dwadwja Prakruthi .

45. Sama - Doshaja Constitution ‘ सर्वगुणसमुदितस्तु समधातव :’ ।(C.Vi.8/100) Individual Who Has All The Doshas In the State Of Equilibrium Is Endowed With The Good Qualities Of All The 3 Types. In This Type Good Qualities Of All 3 Types Of Individuals Are Manifested; Vibrate Therefore, Has Described This To Be The Best Of All Types Of Constitution . The Prakruthi Formed Due To Equal Dominance Of All The Three Doshas Are Called As Samdoshaja Prakruthi . Individuals With Samadoshaja Prakruthi Will Have All Three Doshas In Equilibrium State & The Person Who Is Samadoshaja Prakuthi Will Be Endowed With The Good Qualities Of All Three Types Of Prakruthi . Therefore, It Is Said To Be The Best Form Of Prakruthi . People With Ekadoshaja Prakruthi Will Be Prone To The Disease Of Rspective Dosha . But In Samadoshaja Prakruthi As Doshas Are In Equilibrium State The Disease Manifestation Is Almost Absent.

46. Dwandwaja & Samadoshaja : ‘ प्रकृतिद्वयसर्वोत्था द्वन्द्वसर्वंगुणोदये । शौचास्तिक्यादिभिश्चैवं गुणैर्गुणमयीर्वदेत ’ ।।A.H.Sha.3/104) Persons Born With Predominance Of Two Doshas & All 3 Doshas Possess Features Of Two Or All The Doshas Together. Who Has All The Doshas In The State Of Equilibrium Is Known As Samadhatu Prakriti . They Are Endowed With All The Good Quantities Of The Three Types Of Individual. From The Above Description It Is Concluded That Among The 7 Kinds Of Prakriti , Persons Of Samdhatu Prakriti Are The Best In Health & Other Aspects But Very Few In Number. Persons Of Samsargaja Prakriti (Combination Of Any 2 Doshas ) Are Moderate In Health & Form Highest Percentage Numerically; Persons Of Ekdoshaja Prakriti (Single Dosha Origin) Are Poor In Health, & Other Aspects. Among These Three Kapha Prakriti Is Best, Pitta Prakriti Is Moderate & Vata Prakriti Is Best.

All These Descriptions Are Described With A View To Indicate The General Mode Of Treatment That Should Be Provided For These Types Of Individuals.

128. Applied Physiology Of Prakriti : One Can Predict The Disease Susceptibility & Tendency In An Individual Just By Knowing One ‘s Prakruthi . Eg : Vata Prakruthi Person Has Tendency To Develop Joint Disease, Neurological Disease & Disease Due To Degeneration. Diseases Like Paralysis, Osteoarthritis Are Very Common In Them. Pitta- Prakruthi Individual Has Tendency To Develop Diseases Of Middle Gut, Acid Peptic Disease, Infectious Disease & Inflammatory Disease. Diseases Like Hyper Acidity, Gastro Dueodenal Ulcer, Jaundice, Ulcerative Colitis Are Very Common In Pitta Prakruthi Individuals. This May Be Because The “Fire” Element That Is Present In Pitta Dosha (Will Be More In Pitta Prakruthi Individauls ) Will Cause Burning Of Inner Tissues To Produce Such Diseases. Kapha Parakruthi People Will Have Diseases Due To Over Accumulation Of Phelgm That Can Give Rise To Obesity, Diabetes, Artherosclerosis . Kapha Dosha Has Quality Of Being Dense, Heavy, Being Slow & Sluggish. This Give Rise To Accumulation & Sedimentation As Circulation Is Slow & Body Is Inactive. Therefore Tendency Of Overweight, Obesity, Hyperlipidemia, Heart Diseases Are Common In Kapha Prakruthi Individuals. Kapha Also Has Intimacy With Meda (Adipose Tissue), Laala (Mucus Or Saliva) Which Causes Above Disease.

129. If One Takes Precautions As The Disease Tendency Is Known & Follows Lifestyle & Food Habits Personalized To Each Prakruthi Then One Can Prevent The Onset Of Disease Before The Manifestations. This Is The Preventive & Personalized Medicine In Ayurveda Known Based On Prakruthi . The Knowledge Of Prakruthi Aims In Promotion Of Health, Prevention & Cure Of Diseases. It May Also Be Mentioned That Ayurveda System Primarily Aims At Treating The Cause Of The Disease & Not Just The Symptoms. Prakruthi Is The Most Important Component That Affects An Individual ‘s Vulnerability To Many Disease Course, Consequences, As Well As Their Prognosis. The Disease Will Take Severe Form If The Illness Is Caused By Similar Dosha In Prakriti . For Example Individuals With Vata Prakruthi Will Have Tendency To Develop Neurological Disease Like Paralysis, Degenerative Disease Like Osteoarthritis. If Vata Prakruthi Individual Suffers From VataVyadhi Then Illness Will Be Severe & Treatment Will Be Difficult. The Pitta Prakruthi Individuals Will Have Tendency To Develop Fever, Hyperacidity, Ulcer Formation. If The Pitta Prakruthi Individual Suffers From Pitta Vyadhi Then Illness Will Be Severe & Treatment Will Be Difficult. The Kapha Prakruthi Persons Will Have Tendency To Develop Disease Like Obesity, Urinary Disorder, Vomiting.

130. If The Kapha Prakruthi Individual Suffers From Kaphaja Vyadhi Then Illness Will Be Severe & Treatment Will Be Difficult. A Physician Must Have A Strong Understanding Of Prakriti To Predict Disease & Guide The Patient To Prevent Them. The Medication, Dosage, Diet & Lifestyle Should Be Planned According To The Prakruthi . For Example: Vata-Prakruthi Persons Should Undergo Abhyanga To Prevent Vata Vyadhi , Pitta Prakruthi People Should Consume Ghrita Regular To Optimize Agni & Kapha Prakruthi People Should Do Vyayama Or Physical Exercise To Avoid Disease Like Obesity. Thus Assessment Of Prakruthi Should Be Done For: Disease Susceptibility Prophylaxis Or Preventive Medicine: Prognosis Of A Disease Selection Of Individualized Treatment Modalities. Selection Of Proper Dietary & Lifestyle Habits, Specific To Prakruthi Assessment Of Drug Response.

131. Summary: Prakruthi Is The Concept Of Individually Which Is Required For The Formation & Development Of The Body, Its Appearance, Behavior, Psychological Characteristics, Innate Quality, Immunity, Health & Reproductive Ability. The Diet( Ahara ), Should Be Taken By Each Individual According To His Prakriti . Individual ‘s Digestion(Agni) & Gut Pattern( Kostha ) Are Influenced By Prakriti . The Knowledge Of Prakriti Is Essential To Know The Tendency Of Diseases In A Particular Prakruthi & Possible Preventive Measures. Assessment Of Prakruthi Also Helps To Decide What Kind Of Treatment Can Be Suitable For An Individual With A Particular Illness. Prakriti Will Presumably Contribute To Public Health Programs Aimed At Preventing & Combating Communicable And Non-Communicable Diseases.
