Ayurveda, the science of life focuses on a holistic approach towards achieving health. Body and the mind are
inseparable for a sound health, as per ayurveda. So in view of this, an entity that attracts attention is the
hrudaya. As per ayurvedic treatises hrudaya is not an organ that pumps blood, but an entity with much broader
area of action. Hrudaya is that, which controls, shareera (body), manas(mind), indriya(senses) and also is a seat
of buddhi(intellect) and chetana (vitality). And “Hrudya ” is another term/function which is found mentioned in
various contexts of ayurvedic literature. Hrudya is often interpreted only as, that which is pleasing to mind. The
exact understanding of hrudya , its scope of action and its utility in various somatic and psychic disorders is left
unexplored. Therefore, through this article an effort is being made to understand the hrudya karma(hrudya
function) in light of hrudaya avayava.
