Dipta Disha (brightened Direction) is an ancient Omen (Shakuna) concept which is mentioned in both the sciences. There are various and auspicious and inauspicious omens which are described in both Ayurvdic and Jyotish sciences. Most of the omens in Jyotish science are described with regard to positive outcome of the task in hand. Ayurveda had used omens in the form of good or bad signs while visiting the home of the patient to examine him or her. On the basis of that ancient acharyas have roughly calculated about the outcome of the disease. The ancient acharyas have carefully observed the typical movements of the various animals and birds sight of some things, utensils, food products, meat, gems, ornaments, umbrella, flag etc to decide the good or bad omen. The ancient acharyas have also noticed the particular voices, good or bad, crying or laughing of the animals for deciding the good or bad omen. The critical study of the observations showed that there are lot of similarities between the Dipta Disha omen described by Ayurvedic and Jyotish science and can be used to decide the prognosis of the disease. Dipta Disha omen concept needs to be studied in the controlled atmosphere at higher medical institute.
