MASANUMASIK GARBHA VIKAS KARMA AND ITS CORRELATION WITH EMBRYOLOGY OF MODERN SCIENCE: A REVIEW

Abstract

Background: The Vedic scriptures say there is an inextricable link between the human and universe. The very elements of human life exist outside in the cosmos as well. The components of the body at the cellular and sub-cellular levels are innumerable due to overabundance, over-minuteness and transcending perception. Developmental anatomy is studied in the " embryology " branch of modern science. Embryology is the study of the embryo/foetus from the moment of its inception up to the time when it is born as an infant. In Indian literature, the history of embryology can be linked to the Vedas, Mahabharata, Buddhist literature, Upanishad Purana, etc. The 'Garbhavkranti understanding of the garbha factor taking part in the formation of garbha has been dealt with mainly based on material available in Ayurveda and other allied resources. Therefore, because of the above, we can say the treatise of Ayurveda formerly validated the evidence of the development of a foetus in modern medical science.Aim and objectives: Comparative review of Masanumasik Garbha vikas karma concepts with special reference to embryology.
