VOLUNTEERS CALLED FOR IN EFFORT TO PUT CHARAKA SAMHITA ONLINE

The Charaka Samhita Online Project is seeking a few good editors of proper English, who have clinical experience, knowledge of Ayurveda, and a willingness to learn medical editing. The English editing team will be editing the 120 chapters of the revered classic text in the next 4 months.

The world has changed since the original publication of the Charaka Samhita. There is an urgent need for a new edition of this treasure of knowledge, incorporating new techniques for accessing the knowledge. A team of 70+ Ayurvedic scholars, biomedical researchers, modern medicine physicians, content managers, business consultants, language editors, illustrators, and audio-visual professionals have been assembled to collaborate on a new 2014 edition of Charaka Samhita. True to its tradition of dialogue between teacher and student, it will be a "living and interactive" text, planned and redacted online to allow maximal outreach to readers and to references online. The new Caraka Samhita has the same sequence of chapters as the original text, as clinical knowledge unfolds like petals of a lotus flower.
