Spiritual Study: From Theory to Practice: Samkhya Philosophy & the Yoga Sutras, 1 of 3-Parts

3 Mondays: March 16, 23, 30 | Offered individually

Online | $5-20 sliding scale

Please register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard.

Samkhya is a foundational philosophy that’s been shaping India’s spiritual landscape for millennia. We’ll explore how this profound wisdom tradition, one of the oldest in the world, is intricately woven into Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Using Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati’s book, Samkhya Darshan (Yogic Perspective), as our compass, we’ll unpack the core concepts of Purusha (pure consciousness) and Prakriti (primordial matter). Discover how understanding the dynamic interplay of these two—and the three gunas (qualities of nature)—isn’t just an intellectual exercise; it’s a key to seeing the world and your own yoga practice with fresh eyes. This isn’t about just learning history. Together we’ll connect these ancient insights directly to your personal sadhana (spiritual practice), helping you see your asana and meditation practice in a new light. Gaining a deeper understanding of the mind’s patterns ultimately leading to greater balance, clarity, and inner freedom.

The Yoga Spiritual Study series is an offering in which participants learn and discuss how the teachings of Yoga apply to our daily lives. We read passages from scriptures of Yoga and other ancient and contemporary spiritual texts, take time to reflect upon them, and share with each other how these words and practices support us on the spiritual path. All are welcome to join any one or all of the sessions. To ensure a private space for all attendees, this will not be recorded.

Sunday Spiritual Talk: The Power of Purpose in Spiritual Practice

$5-$20 | Enroll for free, use promo code FREE

We appreciate advance registration.

“The Power of Purpose in Spiritual Practice: Understanding Our ‘Why’ to Deepen Our Journey”

A Sunday talk exploring the profound impact of purpose on our spiritual journey. Let’s dive deep into Yoga Sutras 1.13, 1.14, and 1.15, examining how understanding your deeper motivations for spiritual growth can:
⋅ Illuminate your path: Discover the true meaning and direction of your practice.
⋅ Sustain your efforts: Overcome challenges and maintain consistency with unwavering purpose.
⋅ Deepen your connection: Experience a more meaningful and fulfilling spiritual journey.
You will be encouraged to reflect on why and how it can empower your own practice.

This Sunday talk might resonate with you if:
⋅ You’re curious about what truly drives your spiritual journey
⋅ You’re seeking ways to deepen and enrich your spiritual practice.
⋅ You’re open to exploring how a sense of purpose can transform your life.
⋅ You’re ready to explore the transformative power of purpose.
Let’s dive into those big questions that light you up inside – no heavy lifting required, just pure inspiration and “aha!” moments.

Satsang is a special time for us to come together as a community. In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored often through an informal discussion. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.

People of all faiths are welcome.
