VAIDIC ANATOMY BASED ON TRIDAND SHARIR(SATVA, AATMA, SHARIR), WHILE AYURVEDA ANATOMY BASED ON KARMAPURASHA(PANCHAMAHABHUTA)
Acceptance or objection to the statement depends on the paradigm from which the we see.
From the standpoint of the Vaidik foundation... YES
I have been working in this field for quite a few years, results are now being written and hope it to be available in books by the mid of coming year.
The aim of Vedic human anatomy is self-liberation or moksha while Ayurveda explains human anatomy for healthy and disease free life.
Yes aim of Ayurveda is healthy life, a healthy life for what is answered by Veda.
The aim of life in Vaidik tradition and Veda are not just direct moksha.. But through chatur purusharthas... Arth dharma kaam and ultimately moksha.
And shareer, what you call Vedic anatomy is a saadhan
Ayurveda is a part of a Vedic system only. The sole aim is to achieve salvation i.e. true happiness for which one has to remain healthy not only in terms of physical as well as mental and spiritual health. Anatomy is just a step of a ladder because to remain healthy we need to know what we are made up of. Subtle anatomy which is better described in Vedas is more profound but to understand that level we have to know the materialistic body first. Panchmahabhuta are the components that can be easily understood and practised rather than satva or atma.
