CRIME AGAINST NATURE

According to the classic Ayurveda compendium Charaka Samhita, the three causes of disease are:

Asatmya indriyartha samyoga —Incompatible union of sense organs with their objects
Prajnaparadha — Intellectual error or volitional transgression against nature and one’s good sense
Kala (Parinama) — Time, cycles, seasonal effects.

“Prajnaparadha literally means a “blasphemy, or mistake, of the intellect”. Improper use of the intellect which results in a wrong understanding of some kind is an example of prajnaparadha. Another form of this disease factor is a volitional transgression against what an individual knows to be correct and true. Whether volitional or non-volitional, prajnaparadha leads to fallacious information, wrong conclusions, and hazardous actions. When an intelligent and educated person indulges in an unhealthy habit or abuse, it is always a consequence of prajnaparadha.” Scott Gershon, MD
