Abstract This research paper is based on Yogavasishtha, the main text of Advaita Vedanta. In which, through the dialogue between Shri Ram and Vasishtha, the means of liberation from all kinds of sorrows in life have been described. In this, two types of sorrows have been described - physical and mental diseases, which are called Vyadhi and Aadhi respectively. The root of physical disease has also been told to be impurity of thoughts, dirtiness of mind. Also, the cause of both diseases has been told to be ignorance and lack of control of senses. Ayurvedic medicine, mantras, good deeds, etc. have been told as the temporary solution for both types of diseases and Moksha has been told for the permanent solution. Moksha, that is, complete freedom from sorrows, has been told to be possible through Yoga and Gyan. In today's era of rush and competitive social media, ideological pollution is also increasing like other pollutions. Due to this ideological pollution, impurity of the mind is increasing and due to impurity of the mind, psychosomatic diseases are increasing. This theory was propounded in Yogvasishtha of the 10th century. Psychologists have paid attention to it in the last few centuries. In this research paper, the concept of diseases described in Yogvasishtha and the measures for its prevention have been analyzed and an attempt has been made to study how the principles can be adopted in the present times.
