Thousands of years ago, Ayurveda described multiple levels of the radial pulse that could be used to interpret the status of the organs and systems of the body as well as the mental and physical constitutions of the individual. As the first text on pulse diagnosis for the Western student, this book provides a method by which anyone can learn to read his own pulse. Imbalances and potential disease states can be detected in their early stages, giving one the opportunity to correct them before they affect the quality of life. With practice and guidance, one can acquire the proficiency to use this knowledge to heal self and others.

Vydáním Učebnice ájurvédy vstoupilo ájurvédské vzdělávání do nové etapy. Jedná se o první učebnici ájurvédské medicíny, napsanou pro západní studenty. Její vydání by mělo na Západě přispět k rozvoji prvních skutečných ájurvédských vysokých škol, které jednoho dne budou na své pohostinné půdě vychovávat generace žáků ájur-vidji. Tato kniha proto představuje novou, vzrušující fázi procesu adaptace ájur-vidji na kdysi cizí půdě. Každý takovýto vývojový krok přichází prostřednictvím určitého nástroje a v tomto případě je tímto prostředníkem Dr. Vasant D. Lad. Tato kniha je vyvrcholením jak jeho celoživotního osobního studia a ájurvédské klinické praxe, tak dvacetiletého zasvěcení životní síly vyššímu cíli, jímž je rozšíření ájur-vidji do oblastí, které jsou pro ni nové a vzrušující. Představuje další z hodnotných obětí, kterou doktor Dr. Lad pokládá na oltář ájur-vidji.
