The Psychology of Karma:
Almost without exception all schools of classical Indian thought have at least one belief in common: they accept the law of karma, a divine arrangement of external events in order to help one grow spiritually. Dhanurdhara Swami will explain how our life experiences are a map of growth and source of blessings. We only need to learn how to understand and respond to them properly.

DD Swami will also clarify commonly misunderstood aspects of the law of karma, including:?

1) the co-existence of free will and destiny
2) the harmony between the Divine and the existence of suffering
3) Vedic astrology as a map of destiny? ?

To support the existence of the law of karma – that there is a destiny set at birth- Swami will give a short astrological reading describing some of the attendees’ general personality and life events.

If you are interested in participating in this activity, please send your date, exact time and place of birth to bryn@yogamayanewyork.com at least 10 days before the seminar.

Time restraints limit readings to the first five to ten people who sign up for the event.

The Environment of Consciousness
Dhanurdhara Swami is a lifelong scholar of the Bhagavad-gita.  In this satsang he will demonstrate how, based on Bhagavad-gita, one can make very simple choices in the make-up of his or her immediate environment to achieve greater clarity of perception, enhanced peace of mind, and improved self-control.

The ancients had a simple, but profound teaching: When we lack self-control, we fail. This is true with regard to our diet, our relationships, our career, and our spiritual disciplines, such as yoga. Simply put, a successful person learns to control their mind, rather than be controlled by it; this is the practice of yoga. The Bhagavad-gita is one of the main yogic texts. In its discussion of spiritual discipline, it not only gives an outline for the various methods of yoga, but also gives specific, comprehensive insight into how the quality of our environment affects the quality of our awareness. In the fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, this knowledge is called “the supreme wisdom” and “the best of all knowledge”.
