What is
Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, a healing system that originated in ancient India 5,000 years ago, derives its name from the Sanskrit words “ayus” (life) and “veda” (wisdom). This ancient practice, known as the wisdom of life, provides a time-tested guide to achieving happiness, vitality, love, and purpose.
What are the goals of Ayurveda?
Ayurveda aims to improve mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, recognizing that all individuals share common emotional needs for happiness and comfort. Its second goal is prevention, advocating for a lifestyle harmonized with nature to support a happy and long life. Lastly, Ayurveda focuses on therapeutic measures to restore balance, counteracting disorders and disease predispositions.
What is Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)?
There is a connection between the macrocosm (the universe) and the microcosm (the individual), where the same principles apply to both. This idea indicates a link between the laws and phenomena across different planes of existence. In astrology, planetary positions and movements influence human affairs, suggesting that aligning oneself with cosmic patterns leads to a harmonious life.
