Abstract
Health and longevity are the motto of human life but salvation is ultimate goal. Self-realization is needed for salvation. Sadhana and ayurvedic therapies are suggested to improve self-realization, which inturn promotes spirituality. Ayurveda, the science of life, has taken its shape with the objective of deerghayu (Longevity). Ayurveda has not only emphasized on longevity but also improves quality of life through various specialised procedures. The concept of rasayana has been evolved for improving the quality of life. Rasayana deals with all angles of health i.e. physical, mental, social and spiritual aspects. Achara Rasayana has been described to maintain the pace of psychological, moral aspects. This is a methodology to rejuvenate tissues of body, develops mental health and other aspects of human life. Achara rasayana is an adravyabhoota type of rasayana in which no pharmaceutical measure is taken under consideration. It increases immunity of the body and mind which an essential factor for healthy life. It is also described in achara rasayana, to gain the knowledge of vedic literature which sharpens our intellect. With the knowledge of literature, one will restrict himself from pragyaparadha which is a factor between three major contributors for ill-health. It teaches about virtuous behaviors which are necessary to develop healthy society. It also works in the way to calmness of mind which is necessary to develop spiritual aspect. Thus, we can say that achara rasayana strengthens physical, mental, social and spiritual parts of health i.e. health in its totality.

Key words: Health, Achara Rasayana, Spirituality
