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 - Millions of hands grip millions of weapons as millions of warriors, bristling in a rush of adrenaline, press into the balls of their feet, ready to hurl themselves into mortal combat. The fate of an empire is about to be decided. Everyone is in position. The battle is about to begin. It’s at this precise moment that the wondrous and sacred dialogue of the Bhagavad-gita begins. Arjuna, the hero of the Gita, hesitates. Instead of signaling for the battle to commence, tells...
Greetings Reader - Every night for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been going out to a major intersection near the end of our street to bang on pots and pans for 5 minutes with my neighbors. It may sound like a random act of lunacy, but it’s actually a style of protest with a long and storied history. Beginning as mock serenades, noise casseroles became a popular form of protest in France in the 1830s, re-emerged in Algeria in 1961, and has since spread around the world, from South America to...
Greetings Reader - Our free monthly series, Community Conversations, continues next week. This month, again by popular request, we’re going to extend and deepen our conversation from last month and talk about "Karma, Consciousness, and Healing." We’ll explore issues that revolve around our responsibility for the choices we make in this life—and the choices we made in past lives, personal growth, and the many things that have an impact on us that are beyond our control.
