In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka’s Approach to KnowledgeEvolution (Sanskrit: pariṇāma) is a key concept of the Sankhya which continues to evoke admiration and criticism (Cf. Charaka Samhita Sharira verse 1.63-65).—According to Charaka, the initial perturbation in avyakta which triggers the evolutionary process is not predictable or controllable. However, the subsequent changes ending in sense objects are fixed, irreversible and necessary. It resonates with the scientific concept of chance and necessity in evolution. But Caraka’s evolution is not open ended like Darwin’s evolution; parinama will terminate in infinite time and the universe with its stupendous diversity will dissolve into avyakta to begin the cyclical process of evolution again.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
