How to Connect Spiritual Ideas to Real Life
|
Greetings Reader - I can’t think of a time in my life when it’s been more important to know how to apply the ancient wisdom of yoga to our lives than right now. Traditional yoga wisdom sometimes feels out of reach—a mysterious collection esoteric ideas, rigorous practices, and lofty goals that seem disconnected from our everyday experiences. And when we feel a special sense of urgency about our everyday experiences, we might think that studying yoga philosophy is a luxury for when we have leisure time in a stable world. But yoga philosophy isn’t just meant to be informative; it’s meant to be transformative. What if the transformational power of yoga is just what we need to meet the moment? What if tapping into that power can help us maintain our balance in a topsy-turvy environment and show us how to infuse our actions with clarity and force? The truth is that yoga wisdom is meant to be a source of insight and strength in challenging times. That’s why the Bhagavad-gita was spoken on a battlefield! And that's what my next workshop is all about: HOW TO CONNECT SPIRITUAL IDEAS TO REAL LIFE Live via Zoom on Sunday, March 9 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST This workshop will be recorded and available for replay Yoga teachers - earn 1.5 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance. Tuition: $27
This workshop will be a guided journey to discover how to connect six essential teachings from the yoga wisdom tradition to our personal, professional, social, and family lives. Yoga enthusiasts and spiritual sojourners will learn how following the roadmap to spiritual success that’s woven into the pages of yoga’s wisdom literature takes us through the world, not away from or around it. And when we follow that map armed with the wisdom of yoga, we’ll be able to move through the world with higher levels of understanding, steadiness, and power. Make yoga philosophy a lived experience! Join us to discover how ancient teachings can bring clarity and transformation to your life in a way that’s personal, practical, and relevant. Wishing you all good fortune, - Hari-k P.S.: I had a great conversation with Michael Kokal about the five secrets of the Bhagavad Gita on his End of the Road podcast. You can listen in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. |

Greetings Reader, I don’t remember exactly when I first read Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction novel Dune — mid 70’s or early 80’s? For a couple of weeks it was my constant companion on the New York City subway system. I clearly remember thinking that it would be impossible to make a convincing movie out of it, given the limited special effects capabilities of the time. Early attempts to do so proved me right (IMNSHO). It’s possible now, of course, but If you haven’t seen either of the...
Greetings Reader, Anger got the better of me the other day. I was angry at everyone and everything connected to the murder of Renee Nicole Good. I’m betting you’re feeling it, too. Then I saw a post about Ms Good’s murder. It was well-intentioned, but timid. I thought the person who posted it — who I know beyond the confines of social media — had a moral responsibility to make a stronger statement. I posted a comment to that effect. A reply to my comment soon followed, which prompted another...
