Your original nature is established at the time of conception and pretty much stays the same throughout your life. Often it is known as your “constitution.” In Sanskrit, it is called Prakrti and is defined as “the original or natural form or condition of anything, it’s an original or primary substance.”
To put it simply, it is the inherent nature of a person (reflected in one’s particular body, mind and spirit).
