To achieve excellence in Ayurvedic Physiology through the integration of classical wisdom and modern scientific understanding.
About the department
The Department of Kriya Sharira forms the physiological foundation of Ayurvedic education, focusing on the functional understanding of the human body as described in classical Ayurveda with correlation to modern physiology. The department enables students to comprehend normal bodily functions through concepts such as Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, Prakriti, and Srotas, and system-wise physiology including digestion, metabolism, respiration, circulation, neurophysiology, and reproductive functions. Emphasis is laid on conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, and application of physiological principles in health, disease, and clinical learning, thereby preparing students for advanced clinical subjects.
