Abstract
Ayurveda is science of life dealing with prevention and cure of diseases. The notion of Anuvanshiki (Genetics) has been known to the eminent scholars centuries back. Every life starts from a seed to grow into an individual as we see in process of budding of a plant from a littleseed. Acharya Sushruta & Charaka gave relevant concepts regarding hereditary and its effects during developmental period and even for later stage of life. Genes are the structural & functional unit of hereditary which is encoded with genetic information for an individual. The article is based on the Anuvanshiki Siddhanta with the ideology of modern genetics including teratological impact. The advancement in technology based life has a severe impact over the upcoming progeny (generation) because of the induced stress level, work pressure, sedentary lifestyle which over all affects the fertility rate. It is reviewed under literary methodology by putting together the thoughts of contemporary sciences and classical literature.
