One of the specialities of the Gitananda tradition is the use of 12 diagnostic methods (dwadasha rogalakshna anukrama) in the process of yoga therapy assessment. These can be contemplated as a method of self-analysis (swadhyaya) that not only enables the therapist to understand the client better, but also enables the client to understand themselves better too. This is explained in detail in ssss1.
SVYASA model
This model is based on Yoga Vashista,22 which describes the cause and manifestation of disease in detail—both psychosomatic as well as non-psychosomatic ailments. It attributes all psychic disturbances and physical ailments to the five elements (the pancha mahabhuta) in a similar manner to other systems of Indian medicine. Commonly seen diseases or disorders of a psychosomatic nature (samanya adhija vyadhi) are described as those arising from day-to-day causes, while the essential “disease” of being bound to the birth–rebirth cycle (sara adhija vyadhi) may be understood in modern terms as congenital diseases. The former can be corrected by day-to-day remedial measures such as medicines and surgery, whereas the essential disease of lifetime-to-lifetime bondage to human birth (sara adhija vyadhi) does not cease until knowledge of the Self (atma jnana) is attained.
