Ayurveda Sanskrit - #6312
I’ve been reading about Ayurveda lately, and I noticed a lot of the terms are in Sanskrit. It’s beautiful but confusing for someone like me who doesn’t know the language. Do I need to learn Ayurveda Sanskrit to understand the texts better, or are there good translations out there? For example, I keep seeing words like “prakriti” and “vikriti,” but I have no idea what they really mean without looking them up. It feels like Ayurveda Sanskrit is such a big part of the tradition, but is it possible to understand Ayurveda fully without it? Also, some people say Ayurveda Sanskrit texts have a depth that gets lost in translation. Is that true? If Ayurveda is all about balance and harmony, maybe Ayurveda Sanskrit carries some of that energy? How important is it to know Ayurveda Sanskrit if I want to dive deeper into this?
