Human Life and the Enlightenment of Therayar

Abstract

From the day humans appeared in the world, disease also formed. “Health is wealth” is a proverb which explains that a life without disease is wealth without deficiency. Diseases befall humans due to changes in food, changes in climate, and changes in culture. It is wisdom to prevent diseases from occurring. The aim of this study is to explain how the methods stated by Theraiyar, one of the nine Navanatha Siddhas, in his works regarding the manner in which diseases occur, the types of diseases, and the pathology of diseases, are helpful for human lifestyles in advising on disease prevention.
