Abhayadev Ashokan
In Kerala, the traditional knowledge of Ayurveda was meticulously preserved and disseminated by families of Ashtavaidya tradition and other Vaidya (physicians). The branch of Kaumarabhritya (pediatrics) owes much to the detailed treatises such as “Arogyakalpadrumam” by Kaikulangara Rama Varier and “Vaidyatarakam” by Vaidyakalanidhi C. N. Narayanan (CNN). This paper gives an insight into the life and legacy of CNN, a towering figure who enriched the Ayurvedic community through his academic brilliance, leadership, and editorial prowess. CNN, hailing from a traditional Vaidya family in the central region of contemporary Kerala in India, holds a distinguished position as a Balachikitsaka (pediatrician). His significant contributions to the field of Kaumarabhritya are encapsulated in his seminal work, Vaidyatarakam. This magnum opus delves into unique formulations designed to combat prevalent diseases of his era, such as Karappan (a skin disorder), Romantika Jwara (measles), Nilankari Chuma (whooping cough), and Pilla Vata (polio), among others. He played a crucial role in shaping discussions on professional, academic, and social aspects of Ayurveda. Contrary to the custom of preserving traditional and professional knowledge as a family secret, he devoted himself to spreading his extensive clinical and practical experience. CNN’s tireless efforts have not only enriched the field of Ayurveda but have also contributed to its wider dissemination and understanding.

Avanapparambu Maheswaran Namboothirippad (AMN), a legendary physician of Vishachikitsa (toxicology) and Hastyayurveda (treatment of elephants through Ayurveda), has worked tirelessly to preserve these disciplines during their time of decline. Information on his life was collected through interviews with his family members and various secondary sources, including journals, books, and gray literature. His life epitomizes the transformation and upliftment that happened to Vishachikitsa in Kerala during his lifetime, along with the contributions of Ayurveda to the Indian public health care system through him. The lineage of Vishachikitsa will always pay tribute to the efforts of AMN in sustaining this knowledge in full glory during the time of its declining importance.

The resemblance between the universe and the human body is defined by five constituents, viz. earth, water, fire, air, and space are called Panchamahabhuta in Ayurveda. This fundamental concept of Panchamahabhuta is popularized by its application in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment by Vaidya Atmaram Waman Datar Shastri, known as a pacesetter for Panchabhautik Chikitsa across India. He wrote six books on this concept. For his significant contribution to the clinical examination of Agni Samstha (seat of Agni/digestive system) and preparation of medicines, he was felicitated with “Brihattrayeeratna” by Arya Vaidya Pharmacy, Coimbatore. He founded a charitable trust in Sangli, Maharashtra. After his demise on December 25, 1995, his legacy is being carried forward by students in various ways. This study aims to delve into the life and works of Vaidya Atmaram Waman Datar Shastri. It sheds light on his invaluable contributions to the field and the enduring relevance of Panchabhautik Chikitsa in Ayurvedic practice.

In medical education, the influence of exceptional teachers reverberates across generations, shaping the knowledge, skills, and values of countless physicians. This article focuses on the life and contributions of Vaidya Madhav Vasudev Kolhatkar, whose impact extends far beyond the confines of academics and profoundly influences the practice of Ayurveda and the lives of those he has guided. In his abbreviated life span of 53 years, he left an enduring legacy that continues to shape and inspire the practice of Ayurveda in Maharashtra. He was instrumental in ushering in a transition from allopathic, integrative methodologies to a purist, principle-based approach in the clinical practice of Ayurveda physicians in Maharashtra. He was distinguished for his remarkable achievements as a successful academician for almost 25 years and a lifetime clinician, instilling the much-needed confidence in young physicians to establish genuine clinical practice of Ayurveda. The researcher in Vaidya Madhav Vasudev Kolhatkar is epitomized by the influential work “Ayurvediya Triskandha Kosha,” completed by his students after his accidental death. He was honored with the “Pride of Maharashtra Award” in 2010. He was “Vidyarthimitra” (a friend of students) in the true sense that hundreds of his students continue to perpetuate his enduring legacy, embodying the core of his teachings with remarkable dedication and excellence.
