TULSI-PRAJNA
And just as the potent, celestial triad of Moon-SunWind is responsible for the smooth working of the universe, similarly the ara-fqa-% (Tridosha) are responsible for the smooth working of organic creation--animals, plants and even the other minutest living organisms of organic life.
In short, the da hanga and 314197, at have entered animate creation in a vivified form, forming the Tridosha complex as shown below:
31*77+7=anator
+2 =for ata
379+aforat= ata The Tridosbas are goups of qualities. They are subtle atomic and organic groups of material particles responsible for creation, maintaining and terminating life and its varied processes. Material substance (862) is the basic primary and physical support for the qualities and their resultant potential actions. Every Dravya has two facets : One is the subtle, perennial and eternal part in the form of energy, where in the qualities reside. The other is a relatively less subtle, if not gross, part through which tbe action is manifested or ensured.
The latter is ephemeral and distructible, while the former is lasting and perennial. The qualities are grouped in to the Dosha triad as under :
1. Te, fia, fem etc.=** ato gravitatious, slow, cold etc. 2. Ter, Fm, síta etc. =ana ato mobile, rough, dry, cold etc. 3. 300, ata etc.- for she hot, acid, fluid.
In other words Activation or urging and propelling is ara ata, Analysis or splitting out is fara ata and Synthesis or joining together is from ala. So the divine triad of Moon-Sun-Wind is comparable to the mundane triad of the Tridosba complex.
Vaidya Sohanlal Dadhich describes Tridosha in the traditional manner but his analysis is comprehensive and imformative. The booklet is meant for the P.G, students of olan fanta (the Science of Living) and for this purpose it is concise cicerone indeed.
