India in Focus | The Land of Ayurveda and Holistic Wellbeing Icelandic below
Health in India is a holistic pursuit focusing not just on body but also mind, spirit, emotions, and environment. Indian Philosophy (including Ayurveda) views a connection between the universal cosmos and every matter on this earth, including human beings. Through Ayurveda, we shall understand this significant connection, by gaining insights about the panch mahābhūta (Five Great Elements), tri-doṣa (Three Body Humors/constituents: vāta, pitta, kapha), six tastes, appropriate dinacaryā (daily regimen), and ṛtucaryā (seasonal routine) for holistic benefits.
Shilpa Khatri Babbar is a Sociologist from India and has been teaching University students for almost 25 years. From 2022, she has been appointed as the Chair of Indian Studies at the University of Iceland, by ICCR - the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.
Shilpa will give two lectures at Reykjavik City Library Grófin in November, continuing with her focus on Indian culture but she held three lectures at the library in the spring. India for her is not just geography but a string of spiritual, cultural, social, and philosophical beads that has enabled the country to sustain itself as one of the most ancient living civilizations. To share important aspects from the ancient wisdom and the diversely colorful culture of the country, she has set her journey as a carrier of Indian fragrance across the globe.

Indland í brennidepli | Ayurveda og heildræn vellíðan
Á Indlandi felst góð heilsa ekki aðeins í líkamlegu heilbrigði heldur er augum samhliða beint að huganum, andanum, tilfinningunum og umhverfinu. Indversk heimspeki (þ.m.t. Ayurveda) lítur á samhengið á milli alheimsins og alls þess sem er á jörðinni, líka manneskjunnar.
Með hugmyndafræði Ayurveda getum við öðlast skilning á þessari mikilvægu tengingu með því að fá fá innsýn í panch mahābhūta (hina fimm stóru þætti), tri-doṣa (líkamsefnin þrjú) vāta, pitta, kapha), sex bragðefni, viðeigandi dinacaryā (daglega meðferð) og ṛtucaryā (árstíðarbundnar venjur) til að ná heildrænni vellíðan.
Shilpa Khatri Babbar er félagsfræðingur og hefur starfað sem háskólakennari í 25 ár. Hún hefur verið gestakennari og formaður indverskra fræða við Háskóla Íslands frá árinu 2022 á vegum ICCR – Indian Council for Cultural Relations.
Shilpa heldur tvo fyrirlestra í Borgarbókasafninu Grófinni í nóvember en þeir eru framhald af fyrirlestraröð sem haldin var í vor. Fyrir henni er Indland ekki einungis staður á landakortinu heldur líkt og perluband sem myndar þá andlegu, menningarlegu, félagslegu og heimspekilegu þætti sem hafa lagt grunninn að ævafornum siðum og hefðum sem enn eru við lýði í Indlandi.
