Tula

/ˈtuːlə/ noun

Definition

In Indian and particularly Hindu philosophy and martial arts, it refers to balance, equilibrium, or a weighing scale used metaphorically for balance of energies.

Etymology

From Sanskrit 'tulā,' meaning 'balance' or 'scales.' It's related to the zodiac sign Libra and appears in various Indian spiritual and philosophical texts.

Kelly Says

The Sanskrit concept of 'tula' represents balance so fundamental that the same root word is used for the Libra zodiac sign, yoga philosophy, and Ayurvedic medicine—showing how ancient cultures built entire systems around one powerful idea.
