Somatic Spirituality-The Mythical Narrative of Body Parts and Gods

&

Abstract

This article unveils ancient wisdom that intertwines the human body with celestial realms, elucidating the sacred bond between organs and deities. Through a lens of Hindu philosophy, each body part becomes a sanctum for revered gods, guiding us to understand our physical and metaphysical selves. From Agni's fiery presence in the face to Varuna's nurturing embrace in the stomach, discover how honoring these deities fosters harmony within. This abstract illuminates the path towards holistic well-being, where reverence for the divine within us nurtures body, mind, and soul.
