Knowledge of human body is the very foremost step in the world of medical science. Sharir means human body and Rachana means structure. This Human Sharir is mainly made up of six main parts or segments. The concept of Hriday is found in almost all text of Ayurved which is considered or taken as ‘Heart’ by Ayurvedic specialties. It is considered that the concept of brain is not described in Ayurved. As in modern science and hence it is thought that brain is the only concept of modern science and Ayurveda is far away from this concept which is totally wrong. Most of the scholars and expert of Ayurveda consider ‘Hriday’ as Heart only.
