Heart is known as HRUDAYAM in Sanskrit & Ayurveda. This word is a mixture of three words:
- HRU- Which means receiver. Heart receives impure blood from whole body.
- DA- Which means giver. Heart gives pure blood to completebody.
- YAM- Means regulator. (YAM is the sloka of choice for Heart-Chakra. No doubt most of the seers meditate with the mantra SOYAM or tosay SONHAM)
Heart is the seat of emotions like joy, sadness, love & compassion. Thus a phrase for emotions always contains heart in it like ‘my heart is full of love and compassion.’ So heart has two aspects, physical & emotional. Both are taken care of with holistic approach of Ayurveda, Yoga and Diet.
