Yoga and Nature Therapy Centres in Rajasthan


In any society it is maintained that some kind of healing or preventive system us required for aiding longevity, Rajasthan in that context is not an exception. The erstwhile royal palaces had ancient system of healing therapy, which was solely depends in nature and by products of nature. As a matter of fact, till date in many Rajasthani homes these therapies are prevalent. The traditional system of Rajathani healing therapy is actual a combination of different systems gained from interaction with parts of West Asia. There were also ashrams where vaids, hakims and yoga instructors advised people on the benefits of these systems, and the royal families often invited practitioners of these sciences to train people in their kingdoms on their benefits, so that their prevalence became more widespread.

Naturepathy, yoga and meditation techniques are well documented in ancient texts, which were written long before the birth of Jesus or Buddha. The healing methods were largely based on mental strength and assisted with natural herbs used in special formulations. During British rule these practices often misunderstood or say forcefully abhorred as quackery. As a result their popularity decreased, especially among the educational class. As a result, their popularity dwindled, and was soon taken over by the allopathic system of medicines.

However, the science of traditional medicine still exists in Rajasthan and also in India. They lost their pre-eminence but they survived, at least among a smaller group that believed in its value. Even though there is nothing about them that is linked only with Rajasthan, these practices have once again been revived, and are enjoying renewed popularity. There are some reasons also such as it enjoins the practice of meditation and yoga, which are the buzzwords of GenX, and so have a youthful appeal. Also, in a world waking up too late to the horrors of antibiotic medicines, these natural systems offer no fear of side-effects.
