The basis of mans progress is seated in the 'Veda' or the 'Knowledge' that has been passed down throughout mans history. Knowledge form father to son, teacher to student. The teachings of the Vedas represent the path that man should lead to have a pure selfless life dedicated to respecting and treating everything in this universe as an integral part of the universal one.

This is the true representation of Veda Aid - meaning aiding mankind through knowledge

According to ayurvedic philosophy an individual bundle of `spirit’, desirious of expressing itself, uses subjective consciousness or Satwa to manifest sense organs and a mind. Spirit and mind then project themselves into a physical body, created from the five (Pancha) great (maha) eternal elements (bhutas) – together called the Panchamahabhutas – which arise from Tamas. The sense organs then using Rajas to project from the body into the external world to experience their objects. The body becoming the mind’s vehicle, its physical instrument for sense gratification.

The Bhutas combine into "tridoshas" or bioenergetic forces that govern and determine our health or physical condition. While the three gunas (Rajas or activity, Tamas or inertia and Satwa, which balances the first two) or psychic forces determine our mental and spiritual health. Ayurveda is thus a holistic system of health care that teaches us to balance these energies in order to achieve optimum health and well being.

The First Dosha called the Vata deals with the function of the nervous system. It is considered the impulse principle. In other words, it consists of functions, which are autonomic. The second Dosha called the Pitta deals with the metabolism and direct digestion. It is considered the energy principle. The Kapha deals with things like blood, mucous, and lubrication. It is the body fluid principle of the three Doshas.

These are the three things that must maintain a harmony in order for health to be maintained. It is the basic principle or philosophy behind Ayurveda. Some believe that people can be naturally predisposed to a particular Dosha.
