Construct Delineation of Samatvam (Equanimity): A Pathway to Holistic Well-Being

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian scripture and a spiritual guide to millions across diverse populations and cultures, addresses existential dilemmas that remain relevant across time and context. Its teachings extend beyond the spiritual domain, offering practical philosophical, psychological, and spiritual insights that promote well-being.The objective of this research was to explore Samatvam (equanimity) as a pathway to holistic well-being (HWB). Thematic analysis of the principle of Samatvam, as advocated in the Bhagavad Gita, was carried out to conceptualize holistic well-being through the lens of equanimity. The study illustrates key principles of Samatvam and how they foster HWB through its psychological, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions. Future empirical research is recommended to validate and operationalize these insights across diverse populations and cultural contexts.
