Usually defined as happiness (authentic vs. temporary) and commonly known through the Yoga Sutra, the term ‘sukha’ सुख has various meanings upon examining its roots. Su = “good, fine”. Kha = “state”. So a more literal translation of sukha is “Good State”. But kha can also mean “space”, so su-kha can signify “happy space” or “good space”.

**What is the Ayurvedic approach and perspectives on establishing Sukha/good space in one’s body, mind, spirit, soul through daily habits/living?

**What is the role of ghee in establishing sukham?

In this session, Dr. Ramadas will explore these questions through one of the key causative factors of imbalances and dis-eases - Pragyaparadha.

‘Pragya’ means intelligence or wisdom and ‘Aparadha’ means an offense. Thus, pragyaparadha means an offense against wisdom.

When a person’s dhi धी (ability to comprehend), dhriti धृति (controlling power), and smriti स्मृति (power to recall memories) get impaired, one acts against one's own best interests of wellbeing and living highest potential.

Sukha / “good space” (an emptiness beyond form) - which helps to create contentment and healing, where harmony becomes a matter of our perspective and is no longer dependent on outer circumstances alone - is disrupted by pragyaparadha

Join us in this soulful conversation on the role of ghee in inner and outer Sukham.

Inspired by my recent knee injury (more on that later!), Join me with guest experts on MahaGhee platform to un/learn more about musculoskeletal healing in Ayurveda and SNIGDHA GUNA.

In our modern times of increasing musculoskeletal ailments and indiscriminate decisions for orthopaedic surgeries, it's critical we explore how Ayurveda can play a role in deep healing for short and long term pain management, vitality and quality of life.

Ghrita/ghee is "snehothama," a most desired lipid to support the functional quality of joints and musculature of the human system. Ghee can prevent/cure degenerative changes in the joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and other connective tissues in various conditions such as inflammation, osteoarthritis, spondylitis, spine diseases and acute/chronic sports injuries.

Additionally, in this session, we will learn how Kalarippayat ("the mother of martial arts") with its legacy of using ghee to enhance performance and treat various musculoskeletal ailments, proves the time tested efficacy of Ghrita.

Speakers:

Dr. Lal Krishnan is an Ayurvedic doctor based in Kozhikode, Kerala, India. He specializes in Orthopedic and sports injury management, also known as Kalari Marma therapy, non-healing wound management, chiropractic adjustment therapy, TCM, exercise therapy and more.

Radhika Gurukkal is a Kalari Master, born and bred in the lineage of the Hindustan Kalari Sangam, an ancestral Kalarippayattu training center and Ayurvedic healing praxis established during the year of 1950, under the patronage of Guru Veerasree Sami Gurukkal.

One of the gifts of caregiving for my elderly Maa is that
uncertainty becomes ....certain, at least becomING more certain, more palpable.

Maa has pretty much every diagnosis under the Sun, except diabetes. Winters are extra tough on her body and mind.
So the uncertainty of how she feels can run the gamut from day to day.
Its been a good teacher for me - being aware of how I react/respond also runs the gamut. LOL

Its transforming from less of an intellectual spiritual concept, more of the norm that is embedded in the waking hour… embodied in way of life, in breath.

This certainty of uncertainty is not rigid and hard, but soft, malleable, spacious for all that is to be that is. Its becoming to feel quite grounding and freeing.

Initially the constant pivoting of what/how/when my time, energy and attention felt more draining and exhausting.
Now its becoming less so.
The acceptance of the uncertainty and its impact on my being and doing is morphing.

More to continue to be unraveled in this yarnball of life…
Thank you, Uncertainty, dear friend.

One may be eating all the right foods, and practicing yoga and other natural healing practices but still feel stuck in life. This is often due to not being able to process emotional imbalances.
We experience life via the five senses, which incites pure, raw emotion within us (Rasa). But we generate a preference around it - it may be one that we like or we don’t like which impacts us at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. How we express this rawness (bhava) differs person to person.
Rasa has a number of meanings - taste, enthusiasm, juice, plasma, blood, essence….

Rasa is the true essence of life and it affects every facet of our Being - from structure, physiology, mind, consciousness and emotions. Ayurveda defines rasa algorithms that determines not only how you experience your food, but ultimately, the overall flavor of your existence.

In this session we will explore:
- How do we understand these emotions and its impact? What perceptions and daily realities do we create around them?
- How to manage “negative” emotions such as anger and sadness which impacts our health and living life to the fullest?
- How does the sight/smell/experience of food/life experience impact digestive processes, carry this taste and its related emotion into every cell of the body?
