<p style='text-align:justify;'>The Sanskrit word ‘manas’ or ‘mana’ means mind. Ayurvedic texts are rich with the knowledge of multi-dimensional aspects of the mind. ‘Life’ ([[ayu]]) is defined as the continuum of the combination of body ([[sharira]]), sense organs ([[indriya]]), mind, and soul ([[Atma]]). [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]]1/42] The mind is included in the three fundamental pillars of the holistic human being ([[purusha]]) with body and soul. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]]1/46]

Psychological well-being with a blissful state of mind, soul and sense organs is an essential component of health. [Su.Sa. Sutra Sthana 15/41] Ayurveda rishis do not consider the mind a separate entity. Instead, the mind is always combined with the ‘Whole’ well in coordination with body and soul. Thus, the mind can influence gross physiological and sensory functions and spiritual wellbeing as well.  Overall personality is identified based on mental attitude. Mental health is important for interpersonal relationships, social and economic aspects of life.  It decides the overall productivity of a person. </p>
