Satya

Satya (Sanskrit: सत्य; IAST: Satya) is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as "truth" or "essence.“[3] Across Indian religions, it stands as a deeply valued virtue, signifying the alignment of one's thoughts, speech and actions with reality.[4] In Yoga philosophy, particularly in Patañjali's Yoga Sutras, Satya is one of the five yamas—moral restraints designed to cultivate truthfulness and prevent the distortion of reality through one’s expressions and behavior.[5]
