A Journey Through Time to an Animal Infirmary of Bombay (1834)

An exciting picture of 19th-century India hidden in the vault of time unfolds via the travel account of Anna Leonowns. Through her excerpt, she captures the life of the animal infirmary of 1834 in Bombay and the local practice of veterinary medicine. The ancient understanding of life (Ayur) knowledge (Veda) has been embedded in the society which is still evident in all corners of India.

Living a meaningful life is to engage in Dharma (actions not affecting others) to attain wealth (Arth) to get the pleasures of life (Kama) and to reach salvation without any regret (Moksha). <a href="https://medium.com/@tvelpandian/a-journey-through-time-to-an-animal-infirmary-of-bombay-1834-859adb84e3b9">Read More</a>
