“A Sanskrit jewel meaning free from ego”

Origin & Etymology

Asmitha derives from the Sanskrit asmita with the prefix a- meaning without or free from, and smita meaning smile or ego-sense. In yoga philosophy, asmita refers to the ego-illusion, one of the five kleshas (obstacles to spiritual liberation). The name thus carries the beautiful spiritual meaning of one who is free from ego, selfless and pure. It is a variant spelling of the popular South Asian name Asmita.
