The author concluded that Vedic literature strongly described, meaningful performance of Upanayana sa?sk?ra followed by regular practice of Sandhy?vandanam which enhance scholastic performance.</p><p>Ayurvedic psychotherapy would play a dual role: First, as a revival of authentic medical culture, the exercise of a practice with an assumed primordial dimension, and second as a discovery of authentic subjectivity, the revelation of a self with an assumed interior depth. Tanvi Dayanand in the fourth paper studied the Utility of Ghrita in Treatment of Unmada (Unstable Mind) with special reference to Charaka Samhita and discussed references and possible mode of action of Ghrita, especially Purana Ghrita (old clarified butter) in treatment of mind related pathologies.</p><p>Lastly, Bejoy S Raj and Lumi Bhagat have given a holistic approach to Mental Health Care from the perspective of Shaddhatu Purusha Treatment. The authors described that in Shaddhatu Purush Chikitsa (treatment) it is believed that the disease is the resultant of some Past Karma which can be balanced by balancing the Panch-Bhuta’s and Tri-Guna’s.</p><p>We hope this special edition will help our reader in understanding the holistic approach of Ayurveda and Traditional practices, and alternative indigenous approaches of India including yoga for maintaining mental health.
