This section offers a birds-eye view of very highly evolved philosophical concepts to practical aspect of human body system.

This section offers a birds-eye view of very highly evolved philosophical concepts to practical aspect of human body system.

The first chapter, [[Katidhapurusha Sharira]], holds several unique concepts, not mentioned in modern medical literature. Our body is a medium to prove our existence in this universe. It is not simply having its structural manifestation but several other components make it complete. Knowledge of evolution of our body from imperceptible entities to association of mind, sense organs, sense objects and consciousness; falls under the purview of this chapter. There is mention of very unique range of features which characterize things as living or non-living. Proper scaling/ranking of every feature may offer the exact nature of physical, physiological and psychological status of life. Reasons for any discomfort in life/for life along with method to get solution to keep the body and mind in healthy state, are described with proper explanation.

''Atma'' (consciousness) is the master key to ignite our body system including mind and make it able to connect with environment (internal as well as external) through senses. The whole network system performs its action in dual and opposite ways- happiness and misery. Happiness is life-a healthy life while misery is the root cause of all diseases. ''Yoga'' is the ultimate solution to maintain happiness of body and mind.
