Discourse on Yoga Vāsiṣṭha By Sri M

The Yoga Vāsiṣṭha (also called Vāsiṣṭha Yoga Samhita) is structured as a discourse of the Sage Vāsiṣṭha with Rama (as a prince), and consists of six books describing the search for liberation through self-effort and meditation, presenting cosmology and metaphysical teachings of existence, and expounding the principles of Maya and Brahman, as well as the principles of non-duality, and a discussion of Yoga.

During this Shibir, Sri M will impart the teachings embedded in this sacred text each day.

Each day will include Mantra chanting. Yogasana and Pranayama to reinforce the appropriate frame of mind and body for inward exploration.

The days of this Shibir will be planned such that participants also have the opportunity for an all-round experience of the MahaKumbh. Participants can utilise unstructured time to visit the akhadas (places of training and practice) set up by the numerous sadhus from various streams and schools of thought, as well as to visit the sacred sites and important places at and around the Kumbh.

There will also be opportunities to contribute seva (service) in the spirit of Karma Yoga.

More details and planned schedule for the Retreat shall be shared with participants in the coming weeks.

Participants can plan to arrive on 15th/16th February.
