The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras complement each other beautifully, providing a holistic approach to spiritual growth. While the Gita offers philosophical insights through storytelling, the Sutras present a systematic path to inner transformation. By studying them together, we gain greater insight into daily living and a richer understanding of yoga’s ultimate goal – union with the Divine Self.
Join Kalyani on an illuminating journey exploring how two of India’s most revered spiritual texts offer guidance for navigating life’s challenges and attaining inner peace. This series will delve into the intersecting wisdom of these timeless works, revealing practical tools for living.
The Yoga Scripture Study series is an offering for participants to learn and discuss how the teachings of Yoga apply to our daily lives. We read passages, take time for reflection, and share how these words and practices support us on the spiritual path.
