Mundaka Upanishad (Online)

Thursdays 6 – 7:15 PM

Mundaka is one of the major and most widely studied Upanishads, as it presents a clear and concise vision of the Ultimate Reality, which underlies the creation as well as you, the individual. The name of this Upanishad, namely “Munda” (head) “Kam” (Ananda or joy) signifies that one loses touch with one’s innate happiness by straying away from the center of one’s being, the Atman or consciousness, and one regains it by reconnecting to the Source. The Upanishad brings us back to our True Self by helping us understand that our essential nature is the Unlimited Universal Consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita (Online And In-Person)

Sundays 8 to 9:15 AM

The Bhagavad Gita is a unique scripture, which teaches both yoga and Vedanta. It offers guidance for living a balanced life while performing our duties and facing all types of situations. The Gita also helps the aspirant gain a clear understanding of his or her own Self, the limitless consciousness. We will take “deep-dive” into these teachings and their application and implications in our lives.

Retreat Day – Bhakti, The Yoga Of Devotion

Sunday March 3, 2024

All yearn to love, as pure love is the fragrance of the Divine. In worldly love, there’s a mixture of expectation, attachment, sentiment, and love, hence we get some comfort – along with pain and disappointment. Bhakti is developing love for the Supreme, the one presence which is in and through each living being, within every drop of the creation, and beyond all limitations. By recognizing this unwavering presence in all – as well as in your own heart, one finds solace from life’s trials and gains the means of Jnana, clear understanding that I am no other than That.
