Overview:

The Mahabharata is one of the great epics of India, and is often regarded as the greatest and longest story ever told. Embedded within this magnificent tale is the Bhagavad Gita. Taken together, they stand as a pillar of yogic thought and spiritual insight. We shall unravel this remarkable epic and explore the myriad of subplots in a clear, simple, and engaging manner. Learn the main players along with their histories, strengths, trials, and victories. All the way through, we shall investigate the spiritual tenets and dharmic teachings that the epic offers, but are not always so evident to the reader. Discover how the events that occurred 3500 years ago (that’s right this is not mythology, but history) serve as a beacon of light for how we are to live our lives in this ultra-modern era. We will draw from a variety of sources and media, and will rely on my own 25-year love affair with this epic to tie it all together.

Every participant will gain:
(a) literary / academic understanding of this epic;
(b) insights into yogic spiritual teachings which help bring clarity and mental peace;
(c) practical guidelines for leading life in this modern era;
(d) an understanding of dharmic tenets that can serve as a guide in daily life and times of struggle;
(e) confidence to speak on and pursue further spiritual topics;
(f) new perspectives and greater reflection on their own life.

This course is appropriate for learners and seekers of all ages and backgrounds, including advanced practitioners, and experienced yoga teachers.
