What is The Satvik Lifestyle Management ?

The Vedic philosophy believes that all life has come from a disturbance of equilibrium of three aspects of nature; Satvik as symbolized by calmness, wisdom and good nature; Rajsik as symbolized by restlessness, impatience and intolerance; Tamsik as symbolized by laziness, ignorance and foolhardiness.

In any living being these three aspects exist in varying proportions. A person is thought of Satvik, Rajsik, or Tamsik depending on which aspect is dominant in him.

We believe that by judicious use of wisdom a person can ensure that it is the Satvik nature that is predominant in him.

The Satvik lifestyle management is an adaption of simple, tried and tested principles of Yoga & Ayurveda in our daily lives. Their greatness lies in the fact that even practitioners of varied faiths or for that matter even atheists can imbibe its salient features in their daily living and reap the benefits there from.
