Greetings Reader - I hope you'll join me for my new four-part series of classes on Patañjali’s Yoga-sūtras, starting this Sunday, February 18 @ 12:00 pm ET. The Yoga-sūtras are codified instructions on the science of self-realization. Often thought of as a system of yoga for renunciants, Patañjali’s sūtras also contain actionable guidance on how to engage with the world in such a way as to spiritualize our consciousness. The Yoga-sūtras challenge us to find the connection between the relative self we experience ourselves as being and the absolute self who is the ultimate experiencer. In this four-part series, we'll look beneath the surface of Patañjali’s definition of yoga to its practical as well as philosophical implications, examine key sūtras that have special significance for practicing traditional yoga in a modern context, and explore the ways in which the sūtras defy conventional wisdom about who we are, what the world is, and the meaning of “self-realization.” Topics we'll explore include:
Here's the schedule and other details: Journey into The Yoga-sūtras Four 60-minute classes - Live via Zoom @ 12:00 pm Eastern Time Sundays, February, 18 & 25 / March 10 & 17 Tuition: $67.00 All classes will be recorded and available for replay This course is registered with Yoga Alliance and offers 4 hours of CE credit.

Greetings Reader - I live in Washington, D.C., a company town where the "company" is the federal government, where seeing the President's Press Secretary at a coffee shop constitutes a celebrity sighting, and policy geeks crowd into sports bars to watch Judiciary Committee hearings instead of the Nats, Caps, Wizards, or Mystics. Politics is the number one spectator sport here in our nation's capital. And for those of us who live here, being a spectator is all you get to be. Fewer people live...
Greetings Reader, I'm happy share the news that my new my book, Journey Into the Bhagavad Gita - A Guide to Exploring Timeless Principles of Transcendental Knowledge and Integrating Them Into Your Life, is set for release on May 23, 2024. Here's the cover: When I started on this project, I had no idea how long it would take to finish writing, editing, designing, and publishing this book. To be honest, if I had, I might not have written it. But I didn't and I did and it's done. Whew! Here's an...
Greetings Reader - In a world of 60-second news cycles, wildly competing narratives, and hyperbolic supposition posing as authoritative journalism, distinguishing truth from opinion has become increasingly challenging. Without a compass that can reliably point us in the direction of reasonable belief and away from misguided theories, We can easily get lost in a sea of information - and misinformation - overload. That's where pramāṇa comes in. Pramāṇa, which means “evidence” in Sanskrit, is...
