Classical South Asian philosophy encompasses such a rich, beautiful millieu of wisdom and insights that have transcended time, and continued to inspire people around the world. At Sachi Skin, we’ve always been rooted in ancient wisdom, so we wanted to share some quotes, taken from things like the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita, as well as from poets like Rumi, to offer some new and profound perspectives on life and self-realization. The modern world is ever-moving and sometimes overwhelming, so we invite you to enjoy these teachings with us.
