Abstract: Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology) are integral components of Ayurvedic science, offering a holistic approach to understanding human biology. This paper explores the comparative aspects of Rachna Sharir and Kriya Sharir, elucidating their individual and interrelated roles in maintaining health and diagnosing diseases. The theoretical framework draws on classical Ayurvedic texts, highlighting key anatomical concepts such as the Srotas (channels), Marma (vital points), and Dhatus (tissues). It also examines physiological principles including Dosha (bio-energies), Agni (digestive fire), and Mala (waste products). Practical applications are discussed, with a focus on how these principles guide Ayurvedic diagnostics and treatment strategies. The paper concludes with a discussion on the modern relevance of these concepts, suggesting ways to integrate Ayurvedic anatomy and physiology into contemporary medical practice.
