001: What Does it Mean to Be True to Yourself? Quote Exploration + Intro to the True to Yourself Podcast with Ananta Ripa Ajmera

Welcome to the True to Yourself Podcast, where we explore the power of authentic living. I'm Ananta, Co-founder and Director of The Ancient Way.  Ayurveda, and its sister science, Yoga, are oral lineage-based traditions, passed from teacher to student since time immemorial. I consider myself fortunate to have studied in lineages for 12+ years. I learned Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta spiritual philosophy from ancient source texts. 

Ananta is a spiritual name I received while studying. It's symbolic of my journey to know my true Self. It means "eternal." Another meaning of Ananta is King of the Naga serpents. Ananta is an Ayurvedic herb with deep roots, benefitting skin and digestion. It's a definition of Truth.   

I look forward to sharing the alchemy of Ayurveda, which has deep roots in my family, and ancient wisdom of the Vedas. I'll help you understand verses of revered texts like The Bhagavad Gita. I'm delighted to also introduce you to some of my soul friends.

Welcome home, to your true Self.
