Discovering the Nectar within Sacred Yoga Texts

Graham Schweig

This program will be presented by Graham Schweig from offsite via Zoom.

For well over 50 years, Graham has been practicing Yoga and deeply studying the sacred writings on Yoga. In his program, he will share his translations of carefully selected passages from the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gītā, the Yoga Sūtra, and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. These chosen passages, along with Graham’s illuminations of them, will nourish you with a palpable experience of transcendence and even an encounter with the all-embracing divine energy of Kaivalya (Liberation). Woven into and throughout his presentations will be time to share thoughts, enter into meditation, and chant sweet melodious kīrtans. Walk away with a renewed, transformed, and elevated relationship with the sacred writings of Yoga that can be carried over into your yoga practice.

Offered as 2 evening satsangs (subject to change).
