Creation Is Necessary

He was born from Dhanvantari’s breath. Lord Dhanvantari is believed to be the physician of the Gods.

The foundation for modern Indian Ayurvedic medicine can be found in ancient texts, some of which predate the Christian era by 4000 years.
Susruta was believed to have been born in the Eastern part of India near Bihar. Known as the father of Indian surgery, Susruta was the first to practice rhinoplasty in India. He did not just cut. He listened. He treated wounds like they had stories to tell.

Long before modern medicine declared itself civilized, the Shusruta Samhita mapped 300 bones, 121 instruments, 8 types of surgery.
Sushruta’s contributions to surgery were truly revolutionary. His techniques for cataract surgery, rhinoplasty, and the treatment of fractures and wounds were superior for his time. He pioneered the art of suturing, using materials such as horsehair and plant fibres, and meticulously documented each procedure, instrument, and the necessary postoperative care

Sushruta’s remarkable contributions to surgery and medicine laid a foundation that continues to influence modern practice. 

And yet we say Hippocrates was the father of medicine.
As if memory does not stretch beyond marble statues and white robes.

The Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita are the fundamental writings of Ayurveda: the remembering.
The memory that healing was once a holy act.
