Written by Dr. Robert Svoboda, BAMS. As a companion to Vasant Lad’s book, Ayurveda, the Science of Self-Healing, which may be ordered separately, it provides a supplement to the material presented by Vasant Lad. The correspondence course is an introduction not only to Ayurvedic principles and philosophy but also to a new way of thinking about health and disease. It covers some of the material that is presented in the Ayurvedic Studies Program (ASP) but in much less detail. It can be used with great benefit to prepare for ASP 1 or for participation in our seminars and intensives and by anyone seeking better health for themselves and their families.
The course consists of twelve individual lessons covering the fundamental principles
and practical application of Ayurveda that are introduced
in Vasant Lad's book.
Study materials with the course include a lecture series by Dr. Svoboda, a copy of The Hidden Secret of Ayurveda, and a recording of the pronunciation of Sanskrit terms. Course audio material is available on cassette tape or CD. A written examination is required after each section of the three-section course. This exam is corrected by the course administrator to assure the student’s understanding of each lesson and then returned to them.
It is strongly recommended that the student first read, listen to, and understand the book and tapes/CDs before proceeding to the lessons and examination questions. This ensures maximum understanding and benefit from the course. The student is allowed one year to complete the course. Upon successfully completing the course, the student receives a Certificate of Completion.
