Abstract

The concept of genetics/heredity evolved from here and he says in the context of Vajikarana, Su Bahu Praja it indicates that the couple should have the best numerous progeny and social mode of conduct also plays a crucial role in genetics. Now in present scenario modern genetics also accepted that the couple who has good intellect can have more than one child. This increases the growth of country and literacy. The incidence of gene related disorders and developmental fetal defects are growing day by day due to various changes in the lifestyle of individuals, environmental changes and due to various other factors. Genetics plays an important role in human life it states that every individual is different in physical characteristics and mental behaviour; all these are based on the genes which carry them. Even the gene influences the person from susceptibility to various disorders. The importance of such individual variations in health and disease is an important basic principle of Ayurveda which is explained by Acharya Charaka. In this present study the concept of genetics given by Acharya Charaka in Atulyagotriya Sharir Adhyaya will be interpreted with the present concept of genetics, detail consequences of above said factors and to educate the families because most of who are practicing these marriages are illiterate hence the proper guidance related to hazards of consanguineous marriages on health of the progeny has to be explained to them. This study would help to bring to light the concepts related to various branches of genetics described in Charaka Samhita and may bring newer concepts which can be useful in the prevention of such cases to reduce the burden of genetic and developmental diseases in the society.

Keywords: Atulyagotriya; Genetics; Progeny; Consanguineous marriage congenital anomalies.
