LAUNCH OF “PRERANA”
Dear Readers,
First issue of Prerana was released on 19th April 2012. Since the launching of Prerana it has inspired many Ayurvedic doctors and students. Thus the aim of Prerana i.e. inducing the inspiration has been achieved. The same tempo has to be continued. I express my sincere gratitude to all those who are responsible for this initial achievement and expect the same cooperation in future also.
In the second issue the incomplete articles of the previous issue are completed along with thought provoking new articles. A brief note of the important events which took place in the institution during last two months has been highlighted.
Research in Ayurveda is need of the hour. Hence this newsletter will give ample importance to update the readers with the research activities in the field of Ayurveda. Next issue will be dedicated to Research in Ayurveda. Prerana invites research related articles. Anticipating favorable response. Please subscribe and support Prerana.

Valvular Heart Diseases:
These are diseases of the heart valves. Four valves within your heart keep blood flowing
in the right direction. Valves may be damaged by a variety of conditions leading to narrowing
(stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufficiency) or improper closing (prolapse). You may be
born with valvular disease, or the valves may be damaged by such conditions as rheumatic fever,
infections (infectious endocarditis), connective tissue disorders etc.
Pericardial diseases:
These are diseases of the sac that encases the
heart (pericardium). Pericardial disorders include
inflammation (pericarditis), fluid accumulation
(pericardial effusion) and stiffness (constrictive
pericarditis). These can occur alone or together. The
causes of pericardial disease vary, as do the problems
they may lead to. For instance, pericarditis can occur
after a heart attack and, as a result, lead to pericardial
effusion or chest pain.
From and Ayurvedic perspective the inflammation (pericarditis) is associated with
Pitta, while fluid fluid accumulation (pericardial effusion) with Kapha and stiffness (constrictive
pericarditis) with Vata.
Heart failure:
Heart failure, often called congestive heart
failure, is a condition in which the heart can't pump
enough blood to meet the needs of your body's organs
and tissues. It doesn't mean your heart has failed and
can't pump blood at all. With this less effective
“na hi jyanena sadrisham kinchit eha vidyate”
pumping, vital organs don't get enough blood, causing such signs and symptoms as shortness of
breath, fluid retention and fatigue. "Congestive" heart failure is technically reserved for
situations in which heart failure has led to fluid buildup in the body. Not all heart failure is
congestive, but the terms are often used interchangeably. Heart failure may develop suddenly or
over many years. It may occur as a result of other cardiovascular conditions that have damaged
or weakened the heart, such as coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy.
Ayurveda recognises that a mild disturbance in the balance of Vata, Pitta and Kapha in
the heat muscle results in the impairment of the cardiac function, which is usually compensated
by augmenting the heart rate and increasing the force of ventricular contraction. Marked
disturbance in the balanced state of Vata, Pitta and Kapha in the heart muscle give rise to
uncompensated heart failure.
High blood pressure:
High blood pressure (hypertension) is the
excessive force of blood pumping through your blood
vessels. It's perhaps the most common form of
cardiovascular disease in the Western world, affecting
about one in four Americans. Although potentially life-
threatening, it's one of the most preventable and treatable
types of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure also
causes many other types of cardiovascular disease, such
as stroke and heart failure.
Stroke:
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted (ischemic stroke) or when a
blood vessel in the brain ruptures (hemorrhagic stroke). Both can cause the death of brain cells in
the affected areas. Stroke is also considered a neurological disorder because of the many
complications it causes. Other forms of cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure,
increase your risk of stroke.
TREATMENT:
In Ayurveda, two type of drugs have mentioned
“na hi jyanena sadrisham kinchit eha vidyate”
1. Which work on the Avalambaka Kapha and Ojas, The drugs which work on the
avalumbaka kapha is mostly Shita Verya e.g. Mukta.
2. Which increase the working capacity of heart. The drugs which give power to heart are
mostly Ushna Verya e.g. Vanapalandu.

…Continued from last issue
Non-verbal communication
Behavior has no opposite. Non-Verbal Communication (NVC) signals feelings and
attitudes. Audiences are sensitive and accurate receivers of NVC. NVC tells listeners whether the
speaker is sincere. A speaker’s whole appearance and actions are signals. Dress signals support
or opposition. Gaze is the main signal. Speakers who don’t look at the listeners are ‘shifty’. The
person you look at, understands you are talking to him or her. Don’t pace, lounge, or dance;
stand still. Natural gestures, with hands higher than elbows, are best. People understand better if
you use your hands. Don’t move too fast—or too slowly. Avoid absurd, repetitive fiddling.
Controlled movement communicates competence.
Environment
Audiences are sensitive to physical discomfort. Rearrange the room to help them listen.
Audiences blame the speaker for every discomfort. If the room is hot and stuffy, people will
dislike you. Take a few minutes before the talk to check lighting, and ventilation. Rows of chairs
are intimidating. They can usually be moved into a circle, ‘C’, or ‘U’ shape. People in the back
rows look over others’ heads; people in front feel watched. People talk more easily to those
opposite them. Get a friend to listen to you, and comment on the arrangement of the room. Listen
critically to other speakers in the same room; you will discover what it feels like to be in the
audience.
Visual aids
Visual aids help the audience listen because they:
get attention
give variety
make the talk easier to remember
save time when explaining complicated points
show things which can only be explained graphically
give the speaker something to do
Remind the speaker of what comes next.
The disadvantages are that they:
interfere with personal contact between speaker and audience
can’t tell the whole story
Can’t show abstract concepts.
Distract the audience if not chosen carefully.
When preparing visual aids check that they are:
Appropriate to the point you are making
Perfectly clear, and not confusing
Simple and bold
big enough to be seen from the back
not distracting, or with irrelevant details
“na hi jyanena sadrisham kinchit eha vidyate”
covered up between each topic
Seen long enough to be read and absorbed
not talked to, and recorded in your notes
Questions and Answers.
The four commonest reasons for failure are:
not summarizing the question for everyone else
answering the wrong question
talking too long in answer to a question
being unfair to people queuing to ask questions.
Many questions are for self-display, or for any reason other than information. Random
questions interrupt and side-track a talk. Always summarize the question before answering. Look
interested and encouraging to questioners.
Control other conversations among the audience. Administer the opportunities for questions
fairly. Be honest if you don’t know the answer. Deal fairly, but firmly, with awkward
questioners. Help embarrassed questioners by sympathy and interest. A competent question time
ends the talk impressively.

2. During process standardization
Process standardization will start from drug process, it mainly deigned with what type of
standard procedure we are following, how many times purification we should adopt, how many
times bhaavana or mardana etc. we should incorporate, what type of machines we are using, in
some herbo-mineral, or mineral procedures type or time of agni, type of instrument should be
assessed and standardized the technique.
For the example in the preparation of , steps to be adopts for process
standardization.

Objectives:-
1. Elimination of physical and chemical impurities.
2. Transformation of the hard and non-homogenous material like metal or mineral to soft, brittle,
ductile and homogenous material.
3. Induction of desirable qualities.
4. To make substance suitable for further processing i.e. maarana

1. To bring minute particles of the material in contact with liquid media.
2. Attribution of the properties of bhaavana dravya to bhavya dravya,
3. To facilitate the material for further processing.
Griffith theory in particle size reduction:- by English aeronautical engineer, A. A.
Griffith, to explain the failure of brittle materials.
The particle size reduction during process may be explained by Griffith theory. According
to this theory, all solids contain flaws and microscopic cracks. A flaw is any structural weakness
that may develop into crack under strain like pressure applied during . The particle with the
weakest flaw fractures most easily and produced largest possible pieces. In the next step, another
weakest flaw fractures; by this way particle size is reduced.
Importance of surface area:- As particle size decreases and surface area increases, particles
become random in position. When it comes in contact with liquid media, each molecule gets
surrounded by liquid. By this impregnations of constituents of into
“na hi jyanena sadrisham kinchit eha vidyate”
becomes easier. Large surface area exposed to the atmosphere helps in oxidation of the active
constituents of the drug by the atmospheric oxygen.
:- It is the process in which small, round, flat pellet are prepared from levitated
doughy mass of substances facilitates uniform and homogeneous heating.
SHAPE:- flat or round preferably flat due to its more surface area.
Objectives:-
1. To increase the surface area.
2. All the portion inner and outer should be heated uniformly.
3. For easy collection.
4. is a parameter for testing the amount of heat supplied to the material.
: - Ideally the drying is done in shade as it avoids a very fast loss of moisture and
hence cracking. The radiations present in the sun rays are helpful for the unpaired electrons to
oscillate freely on the surface of the metals so that they can be reacted as well as get neutralized
easily.
स र :- The s are placed inside the vessels, which are prepared out of different
metals, minerals etc. and enveloping or wrapping of any substances especially for backing or
heating.
Objectives:-
1. with minimum or no supply of oxygen.
2. Inert and does not react with inside, even after heating up to high temperature.
3. Oxidation.
4. Encircled sustained temperature can be obtained.
5. To avoid direct loss of material in the completely burn fuel.
