Mythological Origins

Indian mythology has bestowed Ayurveda with a divine aura and stature, considering its premises and precepts as a direct 'Gift from the Gods'. Ayurveda predates the birth of this land, and traces its roots to the consciousness of Lord Brahma, the Supreme Creator. It is from here that the original Ayurvedic treatise was passed down in stages, until it reached the mighty God of Thunder, Indra. When the earth and its inhabitants faced countless pestilences and diseases, three legendary sages, Dhanwantari (in his Divodasa avatar), Bharadwaja, and Kashyapa, interceded on humanity's behalf and appealed to the Gods. It is from here that humankind gained the knowledge we cherish and revere today as Ayurveda. The Three Great Sages formed their own schools of thought, and further spread the divine teachings from heaven through their works as well as disciples.
