Introduction

The word "God," "Goddess" in this book means only the Hindu God, Hindu Goddess unless otherwise specified.

Unlike all other animals, humans religiously worship God. I do not know whether Neanderthal and other predecessors of the modern human, Homo sapiens, worshipped God or not, but to worship has become a hallmark of Homo sapiens. Human strongly feels the presence of some unknown, unexplained power in the universe and worships that unknown power as the Supreme God. A human feels that he/she has come from that Supreme Power and develops an urge to meet Him, to unite with Him. As if, uniting with that Supreme Power is the ultimate goal of life. It is an instinct from the core of the heart. Human, by emotion and intelligence, has tried to hypothesize and devise ways and means to worship that Supreme Power time and again.

Ancient Hindus or inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent and part of Asia, like those of other parts of the world, felt that humans and all other living beings have come from the Supreme Power-we all are the tiniest parts of that Supreme. A plant bend towards the light, an animal gets attracted to food that gives it energy. Similarly, human beings are also attracted to larger energy sources. Attraction or affinity to an energy source is a universal biological instinct and humans are no exceptions. By virtue of a larger brain and greater intelligence, they have felt the attraction of larger energy sources very, very strongly. They have called those the superior or the Supreme. They have tried to understand the very nature of those superior or the Supreme Powers.

The universe is full of energy and the earth receives plentiful of it. We receive bright light from the sun that gives heat and keeps the earth habitable, which drives the synthesis of food by plants, that drives the biology of all living beings. So, early human upheld the sun/Surya as the Supreme God. Slowly they understood that nature has several other forces and they influence our life! They tried to understand various forces or energies of nature and their influence on humans and animals. They also observed that we all generate a vast amount of energy. The energy generated inside the body and those from outside are alike, linked, and tremendously influence the health and behaviour of an organism. They realized that it is the energy that determines the quality of a human being-good or bad qualities of an individual are due to energy. It is the energy that gives living beings their expressions. They conceptualized energies-both in the universe and their homologs in the body, and their expressions-as Gods. They named every good of an individual as God and evil as Asuras or Demons. Thus originated several concepts on those forces and thus originated several Gods, as well as Demons! All the ancient religions, such as in India, Greece, Egypt, other parts of the world have, thus, several Gods! The presence of several Gods in the Hindu religion, unlike other present-day religions, points to its very ancient origin. Vedas, considered to be the oldest literature in the Hindu religion, describes several Gods and Goddesses indicating that the plurality of God was vividly present in Vedic age also. And the trend is continuing.

Prajapati Daksha, the ancient king of Hinduism, has 62 daughters which are 62 different forces of the universe as well as of the living body and their full-bloom expressions as qualities or behaviours of a human being. Ancient Hindus created/ hypothesized Prajapati Daksha to be the father of great energies and qualities of the human being. This gives a small proof that ancient Hindus developed a strong knowledge base and the religion in a highly systematic manner. They developed the core concept of a Supreme Power as ParamBrahmn and then all different forms of force/energy as Gods and thus developed several Gods. They distinctly understood different forces/ energies and their expressions in the body-they classified them as cause and effect, as forces and their biological expressions, as Goddesses and Gods-thus originated the big concept of Prakriti and Purusha! Slowly, I assume, the functioning of the body got more emphasis-they hypothesized different vital functions of the body as different Gods and Goddesses! Thus developed two major classes of philosophy (Darshan/Bada)-one hypothesized God as energy or force of the universe, the other placed those forces/Gods inside the body, as parts of the body, as parts of body functioning. In ancient times, religion and health (of the body, as well as society) were intricately united into one, like sugar dissolved in water, and it is hard to separate them. Concepts of Siddha and Ayurveda originated as small shoots of the last philosophy and cater to the body energy and health.

This book focuses on the last philosophy-God as part of body and health, God driving the living body.
