Listen now
Description
In this episode we explore the 4 parts of the mind and Limbs 6 and 7, Dharana and Dhyana as a way to liberation. We discuss the 4 stages of a Hindu householder's life and delve further into the definition of what being a "Yogi" means according to the Gita, moving away from the whitewashing and continual colonization of this term. We end with a reflection on how we can utilize the mantra OM as a way to unite individual consciousness with universal consciousness and yoke all of our actions to the Divine presence that is all pervading.
