TOWARDS
CREATING GLOBAL AWARENESS: RESTORATION OF AYUSH LEGACY THROUGH MUSEUMS
ABSTRACT
Latvia, one of the
beautiful Baltic nations has many museums and here one such national museum
shall be discussed. Nation building by educating kids and making them wonder at
the beauty of nature’s bounty is one major aim of most museums apart from preserving
antiquity for posterity.
Museums are the pride of any
nation. Museum laws govern the art, history, war, medical history, ethnography,
etc. State-owned and private museums depict the priority they enjoy. Whole life
events either stuffed or in various forms are showcased here, which make every
one contemplates about the nature just as Ayurveda in its glory. Museums in
India finds itself in a high pedestal.
Ayurveda, the ancient
holistic science suitable even to the next generation includes all those could
be represented in museums. Raw, fresh or dry preserved flora, fauna and all
aspects of changes in environment, geology, entomology and many more need to be
included here. Review of the exhibits are discussed and examples analogous to
Ayurveda given to create extensive cognizance to public. International Union
for conservation of Nature (IUCN) and many such aspects from ancient times to
present can be focused in such Ayurveda museums based on information from
classical texts produced in various historical time period. Oriental libraries
and temples built carry invaluable heritage not only for religious purposes but
also to carry art, sculpture and scientific innovations craved.
Knowledge tourism based
on geoclimatic variation concept in various parts of the world shall have huge
impact in empathetically acknowledging Ayurveda globally. Biodiversity hot
spots, climate changes, zero carbon nations are some important facets that
every individual needs to understand, accept and adopt for us to ensure a
better world in future. Virtual Ayurveda museums could be the next generation revolutionary
movement to create health, happiness and global peace.
KEYWORDS –
Museum, biodiversity, knowledge tourism, virtual Ayurveda.
BACKGROUND
Nature museums are highly
significant in helping knowledge dissemination and build a better world for
future generations. “A visit to a museum is a search for beauty,
truth, and meaning in our lives. Go to museums as often as you can.”– Maira Kalman. Public with
expertise in different fields gets much more clarification scrutinizing all
exhibits in the museums. Every museum is informative for all age people who
passionately look through. Museums also provide space to collect, restore and preserve
the collective heritage to look back on in the future generations.
[H1] Museums
in India
It is said that in
1784, first Indian multipurpose museum was started with a few galleries[H2] exhibiting exquisite and antique collections in
Indian Museum Kolkata. In 1819, museum in Madras was started [H3] followed by 6 more museums in Bangalore, Bellary, Coimbatore,
Cuddalore, Otacamund and Secunderabad. Later on, Government museums at
Mangalore, Tiruchrapali, Trivandrum and Mysore came into existence. Mysore
Government museum in Bangalore came into existence around 1865. Many more
places such as-Jaipur, Udaipur, Rajkot, Vijayawada and many more.[i]
Brief history of museums in Latvia
One of the oldest museums in Latvia and
the Baltic is, ‘The
Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation’ started on
22nd February 1773
and established by Riga
Town Council in the Riga Dome complex which was 13th to 20th-century
old architectural
monument.[ii] Another one is ‘The Latvian National Museum of Natural History’ which was
founded in 1845 by the Riga Naturalistic society. It is
multi-disciplinary museum of natural sciences in the Baltics.[iii] It is an invaluable
museum with a sizeable collection of objects from Latvia and around the world. The beginnings of the museum's
collection are the collections of natural objects of the famous collector
Nikolaus von Himsel (Nikolaus von Himsel, 1729-1764). About 600 mineral and gem samples, a
collection of wood, several turtle shells, a small collection of horns and
bones have survived from them.
Museums of Latvia include Art, ethnographic,
architecture, decorative art and design, natural history, pharmacy,
photography, railway history, war museum, barricades, televisions, occupation,
history of medicine, etc. It
is said that Art, history and ethnography are the main focus of these national
museums and 83 accredited museums, 36 are state owned and additionally
municipal and privately-owned museums can be seen in Latvia. Each of these museums are worthy of visiting. All museums are governed by law of
museums depicts the importance given to safe guarding them. The museum acquired
national accreditation on 17th December, 2021 issued by Ministry
of Culture of Republic of Latvia .

Palaeontology Exhibition: The branch of geology that deals with life forms from the
past, esp. prehistoric life forms, Asterolepis ornata, the armoured fish, and Panderichthys, the
lobe-fin fish through the study of fossils. collection of fossils and here are few fossils from them
museum. From all the Devonian period, Jurassic period Tyrannosaurus and
other interesting specimens are depicted here.
Minerals and gems:
About 600 minerals along with their geological structure are
sourced in Latvia including the
bedrock and sedimentary rock systems are showcased, their complex and
billions-of-years-long formation of rocks in the territory of Latvia are
explained using animated videos, such as ‘how the Baltic Sea, lakes and bogs
formed over the millennia’. Along with this, 18th-century collection of N.
Himsel: rock crystal, dolomite, clay, limestone, sand and gravel malachite,
kyanite, and epidote amethyst and citrine geodes, and a rock crystal druse are
all exhibited along with their specific physical properties to differentiate
them in terms of translucency, colour, luster, cleavage, hardness, density
(specific weight), magnetism, and fluorescence. A detailed display on Karl Hugo
Strunz mineral classification scheme followed by Less common and commercially
valuable crude petroleum, colour earth, and iron ore are featured

Establishing Ayurveda Virtual museums
Being inspired visiting this museum, wanted to make
points for Ayurveda virtual museum to create global awareness. Ayurveda
libraries, classical treatises give a precise idea how such museums could be
made and the archaeological writings are sure guidelines to build up upon.[iv] We
have lot of impressive museums in India but AYUSH museum depicting many aspects
shall play a great role.[v][vi][vii]
Few suggestions for establishing virtual museum are -
1)Statue of Unity which gets a substantial footfall
daily and attracts people globally to visit India could depict all aspects of Dinacharya,(daily
routine), Ritucharya(seasonal) and various Rasayana
(rejuvenation) aspects could be built to showcase as per geography.
2)Ayodya Ramajanmabhumhi can have a museum of Ayurveda
aspects during Ramayana period-flora, fauna, Ashtavaidya prescence and
more.
3) Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam (Extensive
manuscript museum)
4) Kanyakumari temple (Ayurveda museum depicting ocean
wealth)
5) All four directions (North, South, East ,West)-designate
local flora fauna and historical aspects— could have train or mobile museums
travelling all over. Could collect prakruti of all public attending.
6) National AYUSH Institutes – which could add
annually more exhibits training students.
7) Research Council centres – each research could be
exhibited in local or regional or international language - Evidence based Ayurveda
Museum.
But before the
development of Ayurveda virtual museum there is a need to build virtual museums
for Vedas followed by Upanishads, then only the extent of Ayurvedic literature
can deeply understood.
Specific
search engines for flora and fauna described in ayurveda can be a valuable
addition in the virtual space. These engines can also venture into different
instrumentations described in ayurvedic classics will surely be a fest for
knowledge seekers and will incite interest in research [1][2]
Surgical instruments in Sushrutha Samhita
itself can be a unique museum and all surgical techniques described by ancient sages[viii][ix]
Thousands of manuscripts of Indian knowledge before
Independence were collected and stored in many libraries,[x] digitalization of these can be initiated.
Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani have list of medicinal
plants listed in major Ayurveda classical treatises and based on these IUCN
categories and criteria of medicinal herbs shall be listed and checking from
classical Charaka, Sushrutha, Vagbhata[xi][xii][xiii][xiv] to latest Nighantus,
databases one can make lists as per the historical periods.[xv][xvi][xvii][xviii][xix][xx]
Minerals listed in many treatises[xxi] (24)
Few pertinent issues which could be highlighted
a) Circadian rhythms discovered
from Vedic period to present need to be highlighted. b) Seasonal dietary and
lifestyle changes as per climatic and environmental c) Surgical instruments,
personalized surgical techniques d) Royal warfare techniques in ancient days. e)
educational institutes in Vedic period f) surgery simulation teaching methods
in susrutha Samhita g) Circulation, heart, blood vessels, capillaries in
ancient classical treatises. h) types & qualities of water, milk, yoghurt,
fat, meat, fruits, vegetables, honey fish, pulses, sugars, dishes, salts. i)all
about leeches j) bloodletting methods & all details. k) pharmacovigilance
in Panchkarma l) Ethics of medical practice. M)Embryology in minute details
N)Geoclimatic variations & personal preventive measures O)Reptiles
described in susrutha Samhita P)Shamashmana Q)Shodhana aspects R)Infectious
conditions & microorganisms S)Pathology T)Stages of diseases U)Quantum
particles V)Anatomy in precision as per Susrutha W)Every diseases –aetiology,
pathology, symptoms, prevention, management.V)surgical & medicinal
management X)Juris prudence Y)Preventive aspects Z)Herbal , herbo mineral,
ritualistic, spiritual management.
One of the oldest
library museums associated with Saraswathi mahal oriental library has 39,300 sanskrit
manuscripts, totalling 60,000
volumes medical reports (1342 bundles) eye case sheets
and instruments and other ancient exhibits from the Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji's Sarasvati Mahal[xxii][xxiii][xxiv][xxv]
Ayurveda museum already
in existence are worthy of mention and inspiration.
It has a regular library, digital library, picture gallery,[xxvi]
These are some of the
best virtual museums in India and being very intricate, culturally rich and
mesmerizing needs more popularization.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Active learning experience b these museums shall help
kindle the curiosity, interest, and lasting impact on the visitor so Ayurveda
museums can be of maximum utility not only to create global awareness but also
to record history to pay homage to innumerable altruistic sages of yore. Quoting from -William Wordsworth here “Life is
that which was, which is and which shall be. So let us learn from the past to
profit by the present and from the present to live better in the future. Extensive
planning, channelizing right amount of funding to precise institutes to create
best museums shall pave best foundation for global sustainable development of
AYUSH. Textual information supported by evidence exhibited in museums is the
need of the day. (fig1)
These virtual AYUSH museums not only support universal
popularization it shall invite the best passionate brains to the system and
also create more jobs for the related sectors.
