Ashtanga Hridayam is one of the three great ancient classics of yurveda and among these,

perhaps the most comprehensive and easy to understand. Dr. Sanjay Pisharodi has provided an
excellent new English version of the text that includes the Sanskrit transliteration, translation and
a lucid commentary that makes this yurvedic classic accessible in all its depth and detail. I regard
it as the best version of Ashtanga Hridayam available. All serious students of Ayurveda, East and
West, can benefit from studying the book and keeping it as an important reference guide.

DR. DAVID FRAWLEY (PANDIT VAMADEVA SHASTRI)

Among yurvedas brhat trayi Ashtanga Hridayam is today the most actively consulted and employed of the three. A translation of this work by Vagbhata (whose name literally means Language
expert) worthy of its author has long sadly been lacking. At long last this lacuna has been filled
with this effort which is written in clear English and contains in addition traditional commentaries. All serious students of yurveda will find this rendition of great benefit, a book that is likely to
actively benefit the spread of the Science of Life to all who require it.

Dr. Sanjays translation and interpretation of the Astanga Hridaya is a good example of harvest
reaped through svdhyya (self study). I am sure this work will serve as a stimulation for aspirants
of yurveda to engage in a deeper study of the text.
