📄 Abstract
Background: Ayurveda developed through a structured system of knowledge transmission known as the Guru–Shishya Parampara. Adhyapana Vidhi, the teaching methodology described in classical Ayurvedic texts, plays a vital role in the dissemination and preservation of medical knowledge. Detailed descriptions of teaching methods are available in the Charaka Samhita, particularly in the Rogabhishagjitiya Adhyaya of Vimanasthana. Objective: To analyze the concept of Adhyapana Vidhi described in classical Ayurvedic literature and explore its relevance in the present educational system. Materials and Methods: The present study is a qualitative conceptual review based on classical Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya along with contemporary literature related to Ayurvedic education. Relevant references regarding teaching methods, teacher–student relationships, and pedagogical tools were compiled and analyzed thematically. Results: Classical Ayurvedic texts describe various teaching methods including textual recitation, interpretation of verses, question–answer discussions, logical reasoning, practical demonstration, and scholarly debates. These methods were aimed at developing intellectual, practical, and ethical competence among students. Conclusion: The classical concept of Adhyapana Vidhi demonstrates a comprehensive educational philosophy that integrates theoretical knowledge, clinical training, and ethical conduct. The integration of traditional Ayurvedic pedagogy with modern educational approaches can significantly enhance the quality of Ayurvedic medical education.
