The word Svastha from Sanskrit (ancient Indian language) refers to a state of physical health with an inner well-being of the soul, senses and mind (according to Susruta, an Ayurvedic physician, 3.-4. century).

Sva' literally means 'the self' and 'stha' means 'to stand' or 'to be in'; thus, 'Sva stha' stands for standing (or being established) in one's self. If you want to translate this into a personal experience, it is best described as 
 

Lightness in the body - brightness in the mind.

(AG Mohan)

According to the classical texts of Ayurveda and Yoga, this state is both the goal and the result of following the path of Yoga or the recommendations of Ayurveda.

Yoga deals with the management of our mind. Ayurveda is concerned with how to maintain and restore balance in the qualitties and functions in our body. (AG Mohan)
