As yoga becomes increasingly popular in our globalized world, the need to immerse ourselves in the foundational teachings of yoga becomes fundamental to protecting the integrity of its most transformative practices.

True to Embodied Philosophy’s commitment to the synergy of knowledge and experience, we have curated a program that brings together a faculty of scholar-practitioners from both devotional and academic contexts.

This talk decodes the mythology of Gaṇeśa, the elephant-headed lord of wisdom and auspicious beginnings.

This seminar will explore the concept of ahimsa from the perspectives of a variety of traditions, as well as the fraught question of the relationship between violence, nonviolence, and the world’s spiritual traditions.

In this seminar, attendees will get a brief glimpse of how the Ramayana has shaped notions of love and relationships, and begin to understand how the Ramayana still impacts the lives of Indians today.

In this talk, Neil Dalal will highlight these important differences with special reference to the Bhagavadgītā’s foundational yogic methodologies. These teachings provide a process for handling the vicissitudes of life and mind with joyful equanimity; and an insightful reflexive inquiry designed to discover an innate stable wholeness that is the reality of one’s self. 

This seminar will offer an introduction to Shantideva and a way to better understand one's relationship to equanimity, patience, and effort through meditation and reflection.
