Tapping Into Ancient Wisdom: Enhancing Women's Health With The Yoga Philosophy In The Bhagavad Gītā Epic

Abstract

This research delves into the profound connection between the teachings of the Bhagavad Gītā, an ancient Indian scripture, and the enhancement of women's health through the exploration of yoga philosophy. Rooted in the foundational principles of Indian philosophy, the Gītā addresses duty, righteousness, and paths to spiritual realization. Through a synthesis of ancient wisdom and contemporary research, this paper unveils a holistic approach to well-being that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional dimensions. The study explores the multifaceted benefits of yoga practices rooted in the Bhagavad Gītā on women's health, offering tangible insights into physical well-being, mental resilience, and empowerment. Recent research studies, including examinations of yoga's impact on menstrual disorders and stress reduction at work, align seamlessly with the Gītā's teachings, affirming the practical applicability of ancient wisdom in addressing contemporary health concerns and workplace challenges. The integration of yogic principles into contemporary healthcare practices emphasizes the Gītā's teachings on balance, discipline, and self-awareness. Empirical evidence supports the positive correlation between yoga practices and women's physical well-being, providing a comprehensive framework for reproductive health, menstrual discomfort, and mental resilience. In essence, the Bhagavad Gītā emerges as a timeless guide, bridging the wisdom of the past with the advancements of the present. As the dialogue between ancient philosophy and modern healthcare unfolds, the Gītā stands as a beacon, offering women a transformative tool for achieving balance, resilience, and self-awareness in their journey towards holistic health.
