Many people easily interchange
Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine, and very few know the distinction between these two and Siddha-Veda. Those who practice alternative healing encourage more people to discover the essential difference between these.
First, the principles that guide Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine need to be discussed. Siddha medicine is built on "ventha marunthu vinnai theerkum" which means "cooked medicine cures illness." Treatments are made through fire of some degree or another. This process is called "pudam podarathu" in Tamil. In Ayurveda, dietary recommendations can sometimes be given raw. They follow the "pudum poodatha marunthu" guide which means that "it need not be treated in fire." So while both believe in the imbalance of energy centers as the source of illnesses and disease, Ayurveda can be considered a branch of Siddha.
Siddha medicine is also a closed system. That is, Siddha healers believe that there are only 4448 diseases a human body can experience. Any "new" disease found by medical science is merely a sub-condition of their recognized list of ailments.
It is often asked which branch of these two medicines is "better." There is no right or wrong answer to this. Ayurvedic medicine is, perhaps, more well-known but its principles are still based on Siddha practices. Both branches believe in the duality of nature and the elements that constitute a human body. It is believed that the body manifests illnesses based on the type of imbalance they have within themselves. These are easily corrected with proper diet and exercise.
The third ancient healing system from India, is known as Siddha-Veda. The ancient Siddha-Veda lineage that Dr. Pankaj Naram was initiated into by his master Baba Ramdas and later chosen to lead it has additional distinctions. First, whereas you may be able to learn Ayurveda and Sidda medicine in a college or from a book, Siddha-Veda healers are only taught master to student. As such it is a lineage of practitioners who have gone deeper and deeper into the ancient healing art and science.
Additionally Siddha-Veda encompases healing beyond the body, as the masters learned the ancient art and science of achievement - helping people discover: 1) what they want, 2) how to achieve it, and 3) how to enjoy what they have achieved. Dr. Pankaj Naram was bestowed from his master with the ancient scriptures which contain secrets for the body, mind and emotions. Siddha-Veda is very powerful in helping with healing the body. And yet it also goes beyond the body as well.
Dr. Pankaj Naram received his doctorate in Ayurveda, but it wasn’t until he met his master Baba Ramdas that he discovered the unbroken lineage of Siddha-Veda, which was a step beyond anything he had ever learned. Siddha-Veda is the step beyond most other ancient healing practices like Ayurveda or Siddha medicine. Dr. Pankaj Naram is a doctor or “vaidya” of Ayurveda, but is also a true living master of Siddha-Veda, which many consider is a development beyond Ayurveda based on intensive deep practice.
