Quite like any body of scientific knowledge, the [[Charak Samhita]] used to be a living document before it got into a “dark age” of relative stagnation. The world has changed since the originally redacted edition. A team of Ayurvedic scholars, biomedical researchers, modern medicine physicians, content managers, business consultants, and language editors have been working on a new edition. True to its tradition of a dialog between a teacher and a student, it is aimed to be a “living and interactive” text, planned and redacted online to allow for a broader outreach and to serve as an online source of reference on Ayurveda.

The new edition has the same sequence of sections (and their chapters) as the original text, with the same logical progression starting with the [[Sutra Sthana]], covering the basic but generic principles of Ayurveda, right up to [[Siddhi Sthana]], covering the specifics of [[Panchakarma]] (five therapeutic procedures for body purification). Uttar Tantra section would be added subsequently.
