Namaste! It is Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self-podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your highest involvement.

Today I shot a project that I have been working on for the past year now and it is to embrace the goddesses that exist inside of us.

So if you know me, you know there are two things I'm very passionate about, one which is Ayurveda and the other is the concept of the goddesses and the goddess living inside all of us.

I love how they are both archetypes and how we can connect to them, they both relate to the ancient Vedic system.

So in this podcast episode I want to discuss a finding that I've come across which is that the Ayurveda Doshas and the Trifecta, the three main Hindu goddesses are actually quite similar and mere each other.

So again this is a concept that I have come up with, I'm not saying that this is written in any books or something like that.

This is just something that I have found from studying the goddesses and Ayurveda that I think is a really helpful way of understanding both because you can kind of see the patterns and the similarities and they don't only exist in Ayurveda and the goddesses but they exist in everything in life.

So Ayurveda has three Doshas, Vata which is Aaron's space, Pitta which is fire and water and Kafa which is earth and water.

While Hinduism offers hundreds of goddess archetypes, they represent different elements of the Shakti, the woman, the divine feminine force, which is the powerhouse of life, of creativity, of power, of motherhood.

So the goddesses really are not actual people but they're rather sides of ourselves. They represent different elements that we have inside of us.

We are all the warrior, we are all the mother, we are all the maiden, we have all of these sides to us, we are not, you know, there's not just one woman and even inside of one woman, there's not just one woman.

As you guys know, we're all crazy, we have 50 sides to us. So the goddesses really just represent that and you call upon the goddesses to evoke different qualities that exist inside of yourself.

So really what I want to take home is these goddesses are not people, somewhere up there, they are already inside of you.

So through studying both Ayurveda and the goddesses, I've noticed similarities between the two philosophies. Now Ayurveda was created about 3000 years before the Vedas were formally written.

The Vedas are the world's oldest texts, the word Veda means knowledge. So the Vedas are essentially classical books that were overly passed down traditions based on how to live your life.

So Ayurveda is the science of life. How can you have a balanced mind and body? Yoga is about becoming one with Brahma reaching spiritual enlightenment.

There are many, many, many parts of the Vedas, there are secondary Vedas, there's Upavadas, we're not going to go into all of the Vedas.

But the goddesses come from Hinduism, which is derived from the Vedas, but actually came much later when in India and in Hindustan they wanted to create a religion.

So they created a religion, the concept of religion actually didn't exist in ancient India, they were Vedic, it predates any religion.

The gods and the goddesses were not like there were no churches or temples or anything like that, it was all a personal practice.
