Introduction of Nature
Nature is formed of Pancha mahaabhoota which is a platform of these five elements. On this platform, matter and energy exist means one by one creation appeared in this world/universe. Each being and matter took the same qualities and nature of Pancha tattva. We are born in nature, cared for, protected, and collapsed by nature. Srishti (Creation), Sthiti (Operation) and Pralaya (Destruction) are the fundamental rules of Nature or the Adrishya Shakti (unseen Energy / divine power).
Nature creates, saves and makes us sick as well as and ultimately treats, heals, promotes, and rejuvenates us. This is the cycle of nature and beings. Nature is a healer and gives healing to us. She has the great power by which every creature is being benefited. Naturally we like the nature, we love the nature, we enjoy in nature, and we feel fresh and energetic. We are able to gain the spiritual power in nature. So use of five elements of nature cure differently in treatment and healing process is very effective and natural process.
Pancha tattva and Their Origin
It is said that before creation took place, there was nothing except the supreme power or cosmic intelligence. In the beginning, firstly Aakaasha tattva (Ether) element with its subtle form ‘Shabda’ (Sound) appeared by the power of the supreme soul; later Vaayu Tattva (air element) with its subtle form ‘Sparsha’ (Touch) appeared; then Agni tattva ( Fire Element) with its subtle form ‘Rupa’ (Form); then Jala Tattva ( Water) element with its subtle form ‘Rasa’ (Juice/drop); then Prithivi Tattva (Earth ) element with its subtle form ‘Gandha’ (Smell). Each element takes the quality of previous element which is given below.
Element Name Subtle Form & Quality
Aakaasha (Ether) Shabda (Sound)
Vaayu (Air) Sparsha (Touch) + Sound
Agni (Fire) Rupa (Form) + Touch + Sound
Jala (Water) Rasa (Juice) + Form + Touch + Sound
Prithivi (Earth) Gandha (Smell) + Juice + Form + Touch + Sound
Panchatattva and Body Natural Anatomy
Human being is one unit of supreme soul or nature. As the union of pancha tattva that is nature. Similarly human being is also composed of pancha tattva Akasha, Vayu, Agni, Jala and Prithivi. So we can find these five elements in different forms in the body.
