Chyavanprash has an interesting story behind its name: “Chyavanprash is linked to the story of the Rishi Chyvana and the events surrounding his tale. Chyvana devoted a large part of his time to pursuing enlightenment, which eventually attracted the attention of the Devas or Gods. Through their fear of Chyvana’s devotion and the high chance of him being admitted to the Heavenly realms – which they really didn’t want - they attempted to put a stop to his actions by summoning the beautiful nymph Menakā. Menakā quickly sought out Chywana and this is where the story of Chyavanprash really begins. Menakā worked hard to prevent Chyvana from deep meditation, offering beautiful flowers and delicious foods as distractions. After months of this, Chyvana slowly turned his attentions to Menakā’s beauty and kindness, and away from his original goal of enlightenment. It wasn’t long before Chyvana and Menakā were together, though this wasn’t without its problems. Not only was Menakā a lot younger than Chyvana but she was also immortal, which doesn’t make for a great pairing. Chyvana quickly abandoned his practices and set out into the forest to find a way to solve their problem. After preparing an elixir to reverse his aging, Chyvana returned completely rejuvenated. Rather than remaining as an elderly man, he had a much more youthful appearance and a new lease of life. Thanks to this mysterious elixir that we now know to be Chyavanprash, Chyvana and Menakā remained together and went on to, as they say, live happily ever after.”
