On Saturday, 22nd February 2020, the Culture Circle of New Acropolis hosted a lecture titled “Ayurveda – A Philosophical Approach” by Prof. Ushma Williams.
The speaker explained that the word Ayurveda is derived from the words Ayu, meaning Life, and Vidya meaning Wisdom. Much more than just a science of natural medicine, Ayurveda is a philosophical system of living, one that is based on the natural laws of life. The speaker elaborated specifically on the function of food as the therapeutic medium, to help harmonize the mind and body to a state of Sat, or perfect balance.
