The holy texts to study and contemplate on will be " the crest jewel of discrimination" of Shankara as an introduction to Vedanta and one of the eight major Upanishads. After long years of exploring the bhagavad gita of lord krishna, this course is designed to lead deeper into the teachings of vedanta philosophy as a culmination of all knowledge.

Patanjali teaches us the importance of removing
the modifications of the mind, self-study with
devotion, and praticing with detachment. Learn
the path of yoga, the discipline to be adopted
in our lives by spreading the stability through
awareness of self while living in a place where
meditation can be strengthened in the company
of spiritual seekers. Discover the ancient philosophy
that believes one can use discipline to observe
daily life, that the mind is to be trained on
the way to union, and learn the importance of
being a witness. This course is important to deepen
your awareness, especially if you have studied
Yogasana (physical postures) and would like to
learn about yogic philosophy.

Gita with Mataji.
The Bhavagad Gita is a wish-fulfilling book. Each

and unshakable faith. The knowledge of this song
will free us from ignorance, the source of suffering.
Through meditation, its wisdom will be experienced,
filling us with the bliss of devotion, wonder,
and detachment. In this course aspirants will
have the unique chance to transfer the teachings
of the Gita directly into practice in the favorable
atmosphere of the ashram. Each day will be guided
by one of the teachings of Lord Krishna and will
be applied to the asana practice, meditation,
