Department of Kriya Sharir
About the Department
The Department of Kriya Sharir focuses on the functional aspects of the human body as described in Ayurveda, integrating classical concepts with modern physiological understanding. It emphasizes the role of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in maintaining biological balance, along with key principles such as Dhatu, Mala, Agni, and Prana that govern metabolism, nourishment, and vitality. The department also explores Srotas (body channels), digestion, circulation, and mental functions, highlighting the interconnectedness of body and mind. By bridging traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with contemporary science, it provides students with a strong foundation to understand normal and pathological processes, enabling effective application in diagnosis, prevention, and holistic healthcare.
