Ancient Mystical Teachings…….Bhagavad Gita Scripture Study Group

For the next few months….starting in January 2026 we shall be taking a deeper look into yamas and niyamas which are the first two steps outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras to successfully traverse the path of Yoga…..UNION of the individual soul with the Parent SOUL….the GOD Soul.

To silence the mind….to enter NO MIND and open the heart…….this is the journey of yoga….and all the practices that make up the science of yoga support this process….posture practice, breathing practices, meditation, chanting, yamas and niyamas…..as well as swadhyaya which is the study of the SELF…..our highest SELF….the divinity that lies in wait within each one of us……in wait for us to become curious and interested to look into the deeper meaning of life……..and ask those existential questions like, “WHY AM I HERE? WHAT IS MY UNDERLYING PURPOSE? AM I JUST A BODY AND MIND…..OR IS THERE MORE?

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is a very special scripture. It is written in the form of a dialogue between a spiritual seeker named Arjuna and the Lord. And in it Lord Krishna details the journey of life back into the arms of the Beloved…..The Source……The Almighty.

We have been studying this sublime text with our very special Teacher and Guide for 20 years…..and always there is more to learn as we walk this path and grow in our depth of understanding.

Under the auspices of our teacher, Swami Ashutosh Muni, a true Master who lives and breathes the scripture, including Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Narad Bhakti Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Brahma Sutra and the like……we derive much joy in sharing what we have learned as well as insights that continue to draw us in deeper to this life path.

Mantra chanting is a powerful combination of sounds that resonate deep within the heart…..affecting our state of consciousness and awakening in us a deep cellular memory of joy, peace…..and a longing to return to Spirit!

All our yoga classes begin with a focus on the breath…..to bring awareness and more depth to the breath in the body. This supports the practitioner to begin to relax and let go of stress help in the body……..as it switches on the parasympathetic nervous system. Then…..with attention to the feeling sensations that arises as we move from one posture to another……AND the breath…..you can easily become fully engaged……and PRESENT…..as you plug into what your body is doing and feeling in each moment.
