🕉️ Ayurveda in Nepal: A Living Legacy of Chandra Nighantu
Expanding, Exposing, and Enterprising Himalayan Wisdom
In the sacred terrain of the Himalaya—where Hanuman carried the Amrit Buti to revive Lakshmana, and where Pasanabheda (पखानबेद) breaks stone to grow—Ayurveda is not folklore. It is functional sovereignty.
At Himalayan Family House, we honor Chandra Nighantu—a collective compendium of Nepal’s Baidhyakhaanaa (traditional healing houses), refined and revived by Acharya Balkrishna of Patanjali Bharat. This text is not just a record—it is a roadmap.
We now invite investors, innovators, researchers, producers, and processors to collaborate with our education and enterprise initiatives to regenerate Nepal’s Ayurvedic economy.
đź“ś What Is Chandra Nighantu?
- A living archive of Himalayan herbs, healing practices, and Baidik formulations
- Rooted in Nepal’s indigenous knowledge systems, refined through Acharya Balkrishna’s scholarship
- A bridge between spiritual healing and scientific validation

🕉️ Vedic Foundations for Regenerative Agriculture (Ayurveda)
From Rta (Cosmic Order) to Krishi (Sacred Cultivation)
đź”± 1. Rta: Cosmic Order and Ecological Balance
- The Vedas describe Rta as the universal law that governs nature, seasons, and morality.
- Agriculture aligned with Rta respects:
- Seasonal cycles (ṛtu)
- Soil fertility as divine (Bhumi Devi)
- Water as sacred (Apah)
🌾 2. Krishi: Agriculture as Yajna
- Farming is not exploitation—it is Yajna, a sacred offering.
- The Rigveda praises the plough and seed as divine instruments.
- Krishiparashara, an ancient Vedic text, outlines:
- Soil types and their qualities
- Crop rotation and lunar planting cycles
- Organic manures (gomaya, kunapa)
- Rainwater harvesting and irrigation ethics
🪔 3. Pancha Mahabhuta: Five Elements of Soil Health
| Element | Soil Expression | Agricultural Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Prithvi (Earth) | Texture, minerals | Compost, mulching |
| Apah (Water) | Moisture, irrigation | Rain-fed systems |
| Tejas (Fire) | Energy, sunlight | Seasonal planting |
| Vayu (Air) | Aeration, microbes | No-till farming |
| Akasha (Space) | Root depth, biodiversity | Intercropping |
đź“ś 4. Vedic Texts to Integrate
- Rigveda: Hymns to Earth, Rain, and Seeds
- Atharvaveda: Healing herbs, soil rituals
- Krishiparashara: Agricultural treatise
- Charaka Samhita: Ayurvedic farming and plant energetics
- Bhagavad Gita: Karma Yoga through farming
