Virtual Presentation: Meditations on Yoga

Saturday, May 21, 2022
Virtual Presentation via Zoom Only (see information on obtaining a link below)
2:00 – 4:00 pm PDT
Presenter: Srinivas Chari

This talk will focus on the two classic texts on Yoga, which is one of the six systems of orthodox Hindu philosophy. The first text is Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, considered a manual on the theory and practice of meditation for serious practitioners. The second, the Bhagavad Gita, is the ever-popular extract from the sixth volume of the epic Mahabharata, which describes the different ways by which yoga can be practiced in daily life. The proliferation of yoga would undoubtedly contribute to the promotion of a culture of non-violence, benevolence and compassion. Time permitting, some of the manifestations of yoga that have pervaded America and the West will be discussed.

This will be a virtual presentation only. Members will receive a link to join via Zoom automatically. For all others, please email donna@worldculture.org to obtain a link.
