Ayurveda is a document based on the traditional learning methods of passing knowledge from teacher to students (guru shishya parampara). It ensured proper dissemination of knowledge through generations of teachers and disciples. The knowledge transfer is a continuous process. [Chakrapani on Cha. Sa. Sutra Sthana 1/3] The teaching and learning methodology in ancient India was based on oral communication (shruti parampara). The written communication or documentation through the means of Alphabets began only after 1500 BC, which were preceded by contact through logography or imprints.[1] Thus the substantial knowledge of Ayurveda was transferred through the oral communication itself. (A. H. Sutra Sthana 1/3, Cha. Sa. Sutra Sthana 1/4,5) As a medical science, Ayurveda also includes the methods of clinical examination and ethical aspects in the teaching methods. This article deals with the teaching methodology or pedagogy mentioned in the Ayurveda texts and its contemporary practices.
