This correspondence course by Dr. Robert Svoboda, BAMS, provides
a deeper perspective on the material presented in Vasant Lad's
book, Ayurveda, The Science of Self-Healing.
It is an introduction not only to Ayurvedic principles and
philosophy but to a new way of thinking about health and disease.
It covers material similar to the Ayurvedic Studies Program
but in much less detail. It can be used with great benefit
to prepare for the Ayurvedic Studies Program or for participation in our seminars and intensives.
The course consists of twelve individual lessons written
by Dr. Svoboda. These treat more deeply the fundamental principles
and practical application of Ayurveda that are introduced
in Vasant Lad's book.
Study materials with the course include a two-tape lecture
series by Dr. Svoboda, a copy of The Hidden Secret of Ayurveda,
and a recording of the pronunciation of Sanskrit terms. Course
audio material is available on cassette or CD. A written examination
is required after each section of the three-section course.
This exam is corrected to assure the student's understanding
of each lesson and then returned to them.
It is strongly recommended that, in order to receive maximum
understanding and benefit from the course, the student first
read, listen to and understand the book and tapes before proceeding
to the lessons and examination questions. The student is allowed
one year in which to complete the course. Upon successfully
completing the course, the student will receive a certificate
of completion. The course is also available in Spanish.
