Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, presents a unique perspective on genetics through the concepts of Beeja (seed), Beejabhaga (gene), and Beejabhagavyava (chromosomal subunit), which together describe the biological and hereditary basis of life. These concepts mirror many principles of modern genetics, including inheritance, mutation, and congenital anomalies. This paper provides a critical appraisal of the Ayurvedic understanding of heredity, congenital, and developmental disorders by comparing them with modern genetic science. Ancient Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridayam describe hereditary defects (Beeja Dosha), congenital anomalies (Garbhaj Vikriti), and developmental abnormalities (Janmabala Pravritta Vyadhi). Modern genetics explains these phenomena in terms of chromosomal disorders, gene mutations, and environmental influences during pregnancy.
