Sungas Period: revival of Brahminical Society and Sanskrit Literature

History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in Sunga Period (185-73 BCE) -
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia-
(With Special mentions of History of Medicines in India)
By: Acharya Bhishma Kukreti (Medical Tourism Historian)
-
The Sunga Rule was over 112 years from 185 – 73 BCE on India and has great importance in terms of defending Yawan attacks from west as well reviving Brahminical culture in India too. The emergence of Panini’ Ashtadhyayi and thereafter Mahabhashya or great commentary on Panini‘s Ashtadhyayi by Patanjali are important aspects of Sunga Period. Yoga Sutra by Patanjali is also the creation of that great period. It is said that Manusmriti was also created in Sunga Period but might have compiled, edited in later period.

Pushyamitra Sunga
Pushyamitra Sunga was the founder of Sunga dynasty. Pushyamitra belonged to Brahmin family and most probably, Maurya Royal Priest family. When Mauryan rule became very week, Pushyamitra captured the Maurya Kingdom (1)
Pushyamitra ruled for 36 years and restarted animal sacrifice (horse sacrifice (Ashvamedha yajna) .
Pushyamitra expanded his empire from Magadha to half of India from Sialkot.
Though, there are debates on Pushyamitra as prosecutor of Buddhists but it is true that Buddhist arts and architects flourished in Sunga Period too. (2)
Agnimitra Sunga
Agnimitra the son of Pushyamitra succeed his father Pushyamitra.
After Agnimitra, Sunga dynasty rule started disintegrating and ended around 73 BCE. (1). Devbhuti was the last Sunga King .
In Asoka period, Brahminical culture diminished and so the Sanskrit literature preservation and creation too diminished. . In Asoka period, the sponsors for Sanskrit lessoned hence, Sruti ( literature preservation by memories and telling to disciples for preservation ) system diminished too and perhaps that is the reason that Mahabharata tells that 1lakhs shlokas of Guru Brihaspati lost .
There is no doubt that Sunga period revived Sanskrit literature and Brahminical culture that became important factors in later stages for creating ,compiling and editing tens of Sanskrit classics including Ayurveda literature . Sunga rule put foundation stones for revival of Sanskrit promotion.

Patanjali: Paving the way for Yoga Tourism for Centuries

History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in Sunga Period (185-73 BCE) -2
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia- 82
(With Special mentions of History of Medicines in India)

Yoga Surta by Patanjali is one of the most important Formula books in the History of Human meical treatment and Spirituality. The Yoga Sutra by Patanjali is still relevant in physical exercises, psychology and spirituality. Yoga Sutra by Patanjali paved the way for Yoga Tourism in the world. The classic book still motivate Yoga Tourists tour Uttarakhand and other parts of India. Yoga Surta by Patanjali is playing great role in establishing new Yoga tourist places in the world.
Patanjali: Dispute over who was Patanjali of Yoga Sutra
There have been many Patanjali. One Patanjali is that wrote commentary on Panini’s grammar and another that wrote Yoga Sutra
There had been other Patanjali in eighth century and eighteen century too.
Was Panini Patanjali too?
Some believe that Panini was Patanjali too
The author of ‘ Mahabhashya’ the commentary on Panini ‘s Ashtadhyayi (Sanskrit Grammar) was also Patanjali and historians note that That Patanjali was from mid-2nd BCE (Banerji and George Cardona ) .
Most historian accept that Patanjali that wrote Yoga Sutra lived between 2nd CE to 4th CE (Philipp, Demarais ).
There is dispute for who was Patanjali of Yoga Sutra but there is two theories that Yoga Sutra was a revolutionary treatise in the history of human history.
Yoga Sutra
The reasons behind theory of Panini being Patanjali is that the words used for each in Sutra or Aphorism/ formula are the least and that was possible only when the author was grammar and vocabulary super expert. There are 196 aphorisms in Yoga Sutra by Patanjali
There are following parts of Yoga sutra
Samadhi Pada
Sadhana Pada
Vibhuti Pada
Kaivilya Pada
Yoga had been India from Veda or before Veda. Patanjali put in words the physiology and psychological amalgam together .
There are examples of some words of human physiology, human psychology and spirituality (Iyengar) cited in Yoga Sutra by Patanjali –
Yoga=union of body, mind soul with God .
Astangyoga – Eight Aspects of Yoga
Yama = Restrain on behavior
Niyam=Spiritual observances
Asan= Posture
Pranayam= Control of breath
Pratyahara = Withdrawal of senses
Dharana= Concentration
Dhyana =meditation
Samadhi = complete absorption
citta = conscious composed of mind , intellect and ego
Asmita =sense of self
viritis = thought waves
abhyas = practice
Yoga sutra by Patanjali opened up yoga tourism and till date Yoga Tourism is flourishing . Yogi teaching teacher or preparing students for yoga teaching is part of Yoga tourism and even with all odds, Indians preserved the Yoga and Yoga tourism for many centuries after Patanjali.

Six Types of Dreams mentioned in Milinda Panha

Indo Greek King Menander asks questions to Buddhist monk Nagsena and Nagsena replied (Milinda Panha) . There are description (question answer) regarding Ayurveda and medicines in Milinda Panha too. The Ayurveda or medical knowledge to Nagsena was possible only by Nagsena visiting a medical knowledgeable person or Medical practitioners visiting Nagsena and Nagsena getting knowledge of medical subjects. Both types of visits are example of Medical tourism in past when medical practices were meant for public services and not for profit.
Dream is a psychological subject. King Menander asks the question about dream as follow (1) –
Menander – “Bhante Nagsena! Every male and female sees the dreams. pleasant and evil too, seen before and not seen before; acted before and not acted before too; peaceful and making restlessness too; near from them and far from them and thousand types too; What is this dream and who sees that dream “
Nagsena answers – Maharaja, O King! The dream is a picture coming before Chitta .O King! There are six types of dreams
1-By formation of gas (in stomach)
2-By disorder of Pitta
3-Increase of Cough
4-Influence of deities
5- Seeing the future
Maharaja! The last dream is true and al others are illusion. When there is no sound sleep, then only human sees dream. When Chitta is active the human sees the dream. There are other explanations about dream further.
The meaning of dreams are still unsolved mystery and still people visit to Puchher or Pundit ji priest (who tells the future) in many rural regions of Garhwal for knowing the meaning of dreams seen by person . ( based on this author’s personal experience). If in rural Garhwal, a person sees snakes or tigers in dream that person visits the Brahmin priests or astrologer or future teller either in his village or other village. This visiting astrologer or future teller for knowing the meaning of dreams is nothing but is pure medical tourism.

In Milinda Panha, King Menander asks the questions of timely and untimely death. Sage Nagsena answers about death and exemplifies the untimely death by comparing fall of raw fruits and explains reasons for untimely death (1). Atrideva took references from the book ‘Milinda Prashna’ by Jadish Kashyap(2) –
1-Untimely death by starving (by not getting food in time or hunger)
2-Untimely death by not getting water in time (long thirst)
3-Untimely death by snake bite and not getting medical service in time
4- Untimely death by food poisoning and not getting timely medical aids
5- Untimely death by fire burns
6- Untimely death by drowning in water and not getting physicians in time
7- Untimely death by arrow injuries and nit getting physician in time
All the reasons from 2nd to 7th direct the concept of Medical tourism wherein either patient visits physician or physician visits patients for treatments. The above citation clearly indicates that there was concept of medical tourism in Menander period in Indian sub-continent.

There are questions answers about reasons for Death in Milinda Panha or Milinda Prashna.
Sage Nagasena replies about reasons for death ( 1, based on Jagdish Kashyapa’ s book) )–
“ Maharaja! There are following reasons for natural or common death –
1-Vayu (Ayurveda term)
2-Disorder in Pitta (Ayurveda term)
3-Disorder of Sannipat (Ayurveda term)
4- Bad or unconducive weather
5- Unconducive habitats
6- Other outside reasons
7- Increase in Cough
8- Due to results of past acts or undisciplined habits
Atrideva compare those reasons with Charak Samhita too .
The above mentions of reasons for death is indicative that thee was educating medical science at that time (Menander period ) and Medical Science education creates Medical Tourism without doubt.

Nagsena in Milinda Panha explains difference between timely death and untimely death by many examples. In the same chapter, Nagsena offers example of violence or nonviolence in treating of broils or injury (1) as follows-
O King! Imagine, if a physician and surgeon uses irritating smelling and rough ointment for treating broil or injury and by that swelling goes off. Then the physician cuts the skin for surgery and thereafter the physician washes the injury by base /acid and uses ointment. By doing so, the broil or injury goes off. . O King is that act is violence?

King Menander visited Multi Knowledgeable Sage Nagsena for satisfying his queries. Nagsena was aware about Medical Treatments too. This visit by Menander is one of examples of Medical Tourism in that period.
Nagsena explained to Menander about the importance of practical education for a physician as follows (2)-
“O King! First the physician goes in search of Guru .Then, by offering Guru by his service or money , he learns -how to catch knife, how to cut, how to detect or sign, how to use knife, how to take out spike, how to wash cut or injury, how to dry the cut or injury , how to apply paste or ointment , how to get patient vomiting, how patient gets latrine etc. and how to provide medicines to the sick man. After learning all that the physician takes medical practice freely. “
The above shows that there was medical education system in India and medical education system opnes the front for medical tourism.
Atrideva compares the above answer by Nagsena with chapter Yogasutra of Sushruta Samhita wherein Sushruta explains the importance of practical knowledge by a physician. (1)
