Understanding Trauma Through Saṃskāra, Vāsanā, and Prajñāparādha

In this session, Anjali Deva will explore trauma through the lens of Indian knowledge systems, offering a profound understanding of how past impressions (saṃskāra), latent tendencies (vāsanā), and mistakes of the intellect (prajñāparādha) shape our emotional and mental experiences. By delving into these Sanskrit concepts, Anjali will guide participants in recognizing how trauma manifests and how it can be addressed holistically within the framework of Indian wisdom traditions.

Sattvāvajaya: Healing Trauma with Yoga and Ayurveda

Following Anjali Deva’s exploration of trauma in the previous Vedic Threads session, her father, Arun Deva will present sattvāvajaya, a therapeutic approach rooted in the integration of yoga and Ayurveda, to heal and balance the mind. This session will focus on practical methods for restoring mental clarity and emotional well-being, providing tools to address the impact of saṃskāra, vāsanā, and prajñāparādha on our lives. Participants will learn how to cultivate sattva—purity and balance—through specific treatments and practices.
