A Review on Role of Prakruti in Vocational Guidance

Ayurved is an eternal science with sound & absolute principles. Prakruti is an important concept of Ayurveda & plays a very important role in the designing lifestyle of a person for maintenance of health. At the time of union of sperm & ovum, predominance of trigunas, panchamahabhutas & doshas decide the prakruti or constitution of every individual. Once this proportion is set, generally it remains permanent for the lifetime of that individual. Vocational exploration courses offer students the opportunity to research different career possibilities as well as to learn in which vocational areas they have aptitude or talent in. By knowing the prakruti of a particular person, we can get an appropriate idea about his likings or the things he is comfortable with. So, we can guide the person in choosing appropriate profession which will be according to his liking or passion & also he will have the ability to become successful in that particular profession. Through this article, I have made an attempt to evaluate the interrelationship between prakruti & vocational guidance. From this study, I conclude that all the physiological processes are directly controlled by tridosha and thus by the predominant dosha in a particular type of prakriti. Vocational guidance is closely related with prakriti. This conceptual study will be helpful in various vocational guidance centers & also in assigning a particular designation to an employee based on his ability.
