ABSTRACT- With the growing occurrence of lifestyle
disorders day by day the foremost aim of Ayurveda i.e., prevention of diseases
proves to be a better advancement in treating several of these diseases.
Acharyas have mentioned certain measures that can prevent the occurrence of
diseases, amongst them the concept of non suppression of Adharaniya vega is
quite unique and beneficial. The disorders caused by Vegadharana are clearly
mentioned in samhitas and if a person wants to be diseased free, he/she should
not hold of these urges. But the awareness of the significance of not holding
adharniya vega seems to be quite diminished in people which somehow make them
restricted to lead a healthy life. Present article is an attempt to show the
various consequences in suppressing the Adharaniya vega and an approach towards
the well being a person by understanding the significance of non suppressing
the Adharaniya vega.
सारांश
(आजकल जीवनशैली
संबंधी विकारों के बढ़ते प्रचलन के साथ, आयुर्वेद का प्राथमिक लक्ष्य
यानी रोगों की रोकथाम, इनमें से कई बीमारियों के इलाज
में एक बेहतर उन्नति साबित होती है। आचार्यों ने कुछ ऐसे उपाय बताए हैं जो
बीमारियों की घटना को रोक सकते हैं, उनमें से अधारणिय
वेगों को न रोकने की अवधारणा काफी अनूठी और फायदेमंद है।
वेगधारण के कारण
होने वाले विकार संहिताओं में स्पष्ट रूप से वर्णित हैं, और
यदि कोई व्यक्ति रोगमुक्त रहना चाहता है, तो उसे इन वेगों को
नहीं रोकना चाहिए। लेकिन अधारणीय वेगों को न रोकने के महत्व के बारे में लोगों में
जागरूकता काफी कम लगती है, जो कहीं न कहीं उन्हें स्वस्थ
जीवन जीने से रोकती है। यह लेख अधारणिय वेगों को दबाने के विभिन्न परिणामों और
अधारणिय वेगों को न दबाने के महत्व को समझकर व्यक्ति के कल्याण के प्रति एक
दृष्टिकोण प्रस्तुत करने का एक प्रयास है।)
The living body
can function normally, only when its Dosha, Dhatu & Mala are in a state of
equilibrium. Through the rigorous analysis of samhitas it has been stated that
maximum diseases occur due to Dharana of Adharaniya vega. As prevention is the
foremost aim of health and to maintain the quality life acharayas has well
described various factors like dinacharya, ritucharya, sadvritta etc to be
followed along with which they have clearly mentioned about the hazardous
effects of vega dharana. There are certain Vega which should not be suppressed
inside the body otherwise
will be
responsible for the genesis of various diseases. Now a days, due to busy and
stressful lifestyle and in the dream of achieving the big targets in short
period, people suppress one or more of their natural urges unaware of being
trapped in the genesis of diseases. These are called as natural because these
are the substances that are present in our body naturally as a result of day
today wear and tear process and tend to get eliminated from the body itself
following their urge on the specific time. Hence, they should not be suppressed
and let hold in the body as their elimination make the body purified.
Suppressing these urges by chance does not require much attention but regular
suppression of them leads to serious health problems. Here the attempt is made
to show how one could attain quality life and prevent various physical as well
as mental health issues by not suppressing various vegas classically known as
Adharaniya Vega.
MATERIAL AND
METHOD
The article has
been explored through various samhitas (Charka, Sushruta, Vagbhatt). Literature
available in Various Journals and books were collected compared and analysed
thoroughly.
DESCRIPTION
Vega means natural urges. Vegadharan
means suppression of natural urges. Vega are classified into two groups as
Dharaniya and Adharaniya vega. Out of which Dharaniya vega are those
natural urges that should be suppressed by a person for his/her physical,
social and psychological well being and Adharaniya vega are those natural urges
that should not be suppressed in the body because they present themselves waste
outcome of various bodily functions. Initiation of natural urges is a natural
process through which unwanted products expelled out of the body and this
process is carried out timely by various body systems and controlled by nervous
system. If the suppression of Adharaniya Vega is practised regularly then it
will ultimately lead to a stressful, painful and diseased life which progress
towards morbidity. The number of Adharaniya vega by Acharya Charka &
Acharya Sushruta are 13 and Acharya Vagbhatt included one more making the
number to 14 along they clearly mentioned in details about the Adharaniya Vega in
separate chapters with their harmful effects causing various diseases and

DISCUSSION
From the above
description it is so far very clear about the harmful effects of suppressing
the Adharaniva Vega. People offen suppress the Vega of mala mutra due to their
busy life similarly Nidra which if taken properly brings harmony to one's life
is seen to be disturbed in most of the person due to their sedentary lifestyle
or sometimes intentionally avoided due to computer work or watching TV. The
Vega ofkshayathu. flatus has been also seen to be suppressed due shy nature or
for the social stigma. People often skip their meal due to busy schedule or in
the course of dieting hence suppress kshudhavega. If we closely consider all
the above Vega and their suppressing effects it clearly shows that if these
Vegas are intentionally suppressed then they will show reverse consequences in
the form of ill health to all the system of our body.
For instance:
cardiovascular system affected due to suppression of Apan vayu, sramajaya
swasha, kasa, pipasa, asru, endandiya vata vega. Gastrointestinal system is
seen to be affected by apan vayu, mutra, chardi vega dharana. Diseases of head region
are closely related to the suppression of asru, nidra, shavathu vega dharana. Moreover,
headache is also seen as a symptom in suppressing the vega of mutra, purisha.
Nervous system is seen affected by vega dharan of jumbha, pipasa. Various skin
diseases get originated by the suppression of chardi vega.
Although Shukra is
said to be dharana in the body as it is an indicative factor of person's
strength but forcibly suppressing shukra vega leads to Genitourinary system is
also seen to be affected by shukravegadharana. Similarly, several hazardous
diseases like kustha, pandu, visarpa, gulma, hridroga, ardita are described to
occur in result of the suppression of adharaniya vega.
Conclusion
From the above
discussion it can be concluded that Adharaniya Vega dharan is the initiator of
many harmful diseases leading to the disturbance in the equilibrium of Dosha,
Dhatu & Mala. The vegadharana leads to unintended consequences of a
particular Vega.
It causes ill
health both at physical as well as psychological level. People should be aware
of these Vega and various diseases and disturbances occurring through their
suppression. One could easily avoid diseases and attain a state of physical,
mental and social well being by not suppressing Adharaniya Vega and hence can
step towards the preventive aspect of health.
