Can we ever live happily if we come to know our date of death in advance? Forget about happy living, life itself may not be possible if we have such knowledge. Only such mystery makes our life interesting, hopeful, helpful, fearsome and responsible.
No science or scientist can tell when one would die. The objective of science is not to predict when death would occur, but how to improve the quality of life and indeed its longevity as well.
But any such predictions like when one would die, when one may get the treasure, how will be the future etc., only an astrologer or numerologist or fortune teller or some God men can tell. Unfortunately, our curiosity do ends with the information that comes from these people. We neither verify the accuracy of above perditions nor would dare to counter with those people why they went wrong in their predictions.
Some of the tenets of Siddha system of medicine surpass astrology, numerology, palmistry and what not…and has provided a wonderful ‘death clock’ for Siddha vaidyas. Whether it has any science or mathematics in it…better we should leave such question to Lord Siva and Siddha experts to answer. No science or scientist can find any science in such predictions although may find enough wonderment.
Siddha system is promoted as medical science in India and which pays rich tributes to many such superstitious beliefs. Interestingly they also form part of the medical curriculum. They are indeed treated as medical science as well. All those who have also studied all such superstitious wisdom are doctors as per Indian law.
Look at the amazing and advanced science of Siddha system of medicine.Siddha system has incredible insight and wisdom to predict the death of the patient with great accuracy i.e. from years to months to an hour. Not only the Siddha system could predict the death with such great precision, the system also says how useless the treatment can be to the patient under such circumstances. The question is whether the scientifically proven allopathic system has ever developed such science like Siddha system?
Siddha system uses simple Tridosha concept and measurement of Vata, Pitta and Kapha to calculate how close or how far away the patient is from his or her death.
The larger question is why most of the Siddha vaidyas never ever use Tridosha diagnosis these days and if so, can they help the scientist to understand how such diagnosis is done?
Look at the death clock of Siddha system of medicine
1. Kapha nadi when beats twice than normal and vatha and pitha nadi decreases, the patient would die soon.
2. When vatha and pitha completely reduces, Siddha system says there is no use in treating such patients as they would die soon.
3. When pitha completely reduces or kapha alone increases, then there is no use of treating such patients.
4. When kapha combines with pitha, death will come in a day and when pitha completely reduces, followed by kapha combining with vatha, death would occur immediately.
5. When the pulse beat gets faster in the hip, thigh and chest regions coupled with swellings, thirst & dehydrated tongue, they are symptoms of immediate death, according to Siddha.
6. When all the three pulses are not in the equilibrium state or decreases or beats like lizard’s tail, death will occur soon.
7. When three pulses combine with each other and beats like insects or like spin top or like a beetle, death will occur definitely.
8. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for three days, death occurs in one year.
9. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for two days, death occurs in two years.
10. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for one day, death occurs in three years.
11. When respiration occurs in single nostrils continuously for ten days, death occurs in six months.
12. When respiration takes place through mouth – death will come in 3 months.
13. When saliva intake is not possible and it spills on the body itself, death will come in 6 months.
14. When one see own shadow dancing, sudden death will occur.
15. When nostril, ear, tongue, teeth, mouth changes to black color, death will occur in 6 days.
16. When three pulses lose its equilibrium, death occurs immediately.
17. In morning, the kapha pulse beats & at noon, pitha beats and at evening, vatha beats – death occurs in 4-5 days
18. When three pulses beats like an ant walking on the floor, death would occur in 3 months
19. When kapha beats like a horse, death will occur in one month.
Can any Siddha expert explain how scientific is their death clock? Do they have such unparallel competency and sensitivity in reading the pulses so accurately? If so, why most of them use a stethoscope and modern gadgets and engage in cross pathy?
The concept of tridosha itself is imaginary and philosophical and no one could explain where they are located and how we can measure vatha, pitta, and kapha in our body?
People do argue that all the above descriptions were part of the ancient tradition and it was evolved several centuries ago. Hence we should take only those useful contents and must discard that are useless. The question is how to separate, sort and identify what is useful and useless when the fundamentals, diagnostic procedures, disease descriptions, products that are called drugs fail the simple definition of drug or system of medicine?
How cross pathy by several Siddha vaidyas in private practice will help us to identify what is useful and useless in Siddha system? Only when we follow and practice Siddha system sincerely, we can establish what is useful and what is useless.
Another big question also we must address seriously. The question is how a system that is full of superstition, lack science, and evidence can have something useful to mankind?
Entire AYUSH needs to be re-promoted as paramedical practice and must end cross pathy by AYUSH vaidyas in private practice if we are really interested in promoting AYUSH.
More than drugs and doctors, paramedical experts, and paramedical services our society needs the most.
Emerging lifestyle disorders warrant the role of AYUSH to remain healthy. Healthy people and those who are after allopathic treatment need the paramedical service of AYUSH. Time has come India must promote AYUSH as paramedical practice and not as medical science. Similarly, cross pathy and quackery should not be legalized.
