Mira Rajput Instagram – Ayurveda is the science of life. It is a way of life. My way of life. It’s not just Amla, Neem and Ashwagandha or churans, rasas and lepas. It is Prakriti (individual constitution you were born with), Vikruti (current state of balance or disbalance), our journey through different stages of life Bala, Madhya and Jirna, and Ritu (season). It is the process of “knowing thyself” and the continuous evolution of the self. Ayurveda is the ultimate exercise of self-realisation. Interestingly at the ‘heart’ of Ayurveda is Digestion. It isn’t just what the body (sharir) feeds on, but what the mind (satwa), the senses (indriya) and the spirit (atma) digest too. It is as much about internal balance, as it is about harmony with nature and being in-tune with it; the movement of the sun, seasons, the quality of the wind, the virya (inherent quality) of the produce and the way the body responds to it. Let’s celebrate Ayurveda Day by making it a part of our life. For it is essentially, understanding who we are and caring for the body not with fear but with kindness and knowledge. The wisdom of our Indian heritage deserves our respect for it is still relevant more than 3,000 years later. Eat with your heart, digest with your soul and heal through the gut. For all of you celebrating Dhanteras, wish you all health & wellness, for Health is Wealth. Happy Ayurveda Day 🌹 Forever grateful to my mentor, guide and teacher Dr Uppoor @sudhindrauppoor #ayurveda #ayurvedalifestyle #ayurvedaday
