Hyderabad|India|March'2010: The Department of Sanskrit Studies is organizing a two day National Conference on Sanskrit Texts of Ayurveda and Yoga (AYURYOG 2010) during 21-22, March, 2010 at C.V. Raman Auditorium, University of Hyderabad.

To achive the highest pursuits of human life, one should be healthy in body and mind. So, the highest importance should be given to health at any cost. If health is lost everything is lost. Physically, psychologically and socially good health helps us to be productive. The key to good health is being austere, Controlling intake of food, control over senses, maintaining tranquility of mind. The fundamental concepts of Yoga and Ayurveda are intertwined.

Unfortunately, Ayurveda has been sidelined by WHO by being giving a tag as 'alternative medicine'. Now, it is high time to bring back the applicability of Ayurveda to our lives. The seminal text in Ayurveda, 'Charaka Samhita', is still not available as a critical edition in India. Many more Sanskrit texts even do not see the light of the day due to neglect. It is with this idea that this Conference is being organized.

Inaugural is at 9:00 am on 21st March and, Dr. C.H.S. Sastry, Former Advise, AYUSH is delivering the keynote address. Prof. V. Kannan, Pro Vice Chancellor, University of Hydeabad will inaugurate the conference. Prof. Mohan Ramanan will preside over the function. Dr. J.S.R.A. Prasad is the coordinating the conference and his contact number is 99495-29761. About twenty five scholars are presenting research papers. Sanskrit Academy is supporting the event.
