Yagna, Daan and Tapas: Ancient Teachings...

Myra Lewin
About this episode

What does it mean to live a life with purpose or dharma?

Ayurveda and Yoga go beyond symptom management and these practices invite transformation. They create a connection to spirit that sustains true health.

In this episode, host Myra Lewin explores three foundational practices of dharmic living: yagna (sacred offering), daan (generosity and circulation) and tapas (discipline and transformation). 

These daily practices shift our intention from self-fixing to Self-offering. They help us let go of the idea we're broken and need to be fixed in the first place.

Through personal stories and reflections, Myra shares how these practices reshape our relationships with food, resources, discipline and devotion — opening the doorway to our eternal Self.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why Ayurveda and Yoga are about transformation, not just symptom relief
  • How yagna turns simple routines into sacred offerings
  • The deeper meaning of daan as generosity of heart, knowledge and presence
  • How tapas strengthens your inner fire for sustainable growth
  • Why all three together guide our growth and create lasting joy, balance and connection

This episode is great for anyone ready to move beyond “band-aid” approaches to healing and embrace the fullness of Ayurveda and Yoga as a path of service and spirit.
