Sanathana Dharma is also a science of radical problem solving. Most of us experience physical, Pranic, mental, intellectual, spiritual, and social problems.

Physical, Pranic, mental, intellectual, and spiritual Dukhas; grief and suffering are Vaiyaktika Prashnas (personal or individual problems).

Samajika Prashnas (social problems) are those that are related to family, community, political, international, finance, employment etc.

Root cause of problems:

The fundamental cause of all problems is Avidya or Ajnanan; ignorance. But in effect, there are 3 main causes of Dukha. These are called Tapatrayam, Dukhatrayam, Kleshtrayam, Durithatrayam, Prashnatrayam. Samoola Prashna Pariharam is solving the problem by solving these root causes. Only then we will be able to find a permanent solution to the problems we face.

1. Aadhyatmikam
2. Aadhibhautikam
3. Aadhidaivikam

A radical solution is possible only when these three causes of Dukha are solved. The term radical solution means to solve the problem from the root.

1. Aadhyatmikam – Here the term Aadhyatmikam does not mean spiritual. It means that which arises from ourselves. The grief caused by ourselves. Those that arise from action, habits, character, and culture (tendencies). Lifestyle diseases for example.
2. Aadhibhautikam – Those that are caused by others or by the five elements of nature. Dukhas that are caused by family, society, nation, world, virus, bacteria, fungus, animals (snakes, dogs, and predators), birds, aquatic organisms, plants, accidents, falling, vehicles, fire, water, air, other substances (like poison) etc.
3. Aadhidaivikam – Suffering caused due to natural disasters (storms, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, Tsunami, floods, phenomena incomprehensible by humans – mysterious phenomena that man hasn’t been able to comprehend so far – or supernatural forces). For example, problems caused by planetary influences, curses (imprecation), evil eye, evil tongue, witchcraft, mental power etc.
