This advance training will give you the techniques to attain Self-realisation. The text of Aproksha Anubhuti, with its 144 verses is a concise and brilliant work. We will use it to unfold the teachings of Shankaracharya, the great Indian philosopher and master of Vedanta.
If you take it to heart, the message of Vedanta will revolutionize your thinking, your understanding of yourself and of the world. It will inspire you to question and overcome many of your pre-conceptions. Examining, debating, challenging and meditating on the highest metaphysical truths will lead you step by step to a clearer understanding of the essential unity of everything, and of your own true nature as pure Sat-chid-ananda.
Aproksha Anubhuti gives concrete exercises to help you directly understand the highest reality. These practical meditations show Shankaracharya’s jnana yoga interpretation of the eight limbs of raja yoga: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. It views these practices in a much broader metaphysical sense than in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra.
This promises to be a unique seminar for sincere spiritual aspirants which will aid you greatly in your spiritual development. It will include an overview of classical Indian scriptures and schools of philosophy. In addition: stress management, stress psychology, anatomy and physiology of the musculo-skeletal system, and hatha yoga teaching techniques will be integrated.
