Swami Sivananda described sadhana as spiritual movement that is consciously systematized. Sadhana creates the structure and guidelines for a spiritual life, and both requires and develops self-discipline. It is the touchstone to which we return, in times of ease or challenge, and supports our spiritual progress. These talks provide inspiration and guidance in establishing and committing to sadhana. We will discuss the obstacles and pitfalls in sadhana and how to overcome them as well as the benefits and gifts that come as a result of sadhana.
Offered as 3 satsangs and 2 workshops (subject to change).
The presentations associated with this Yoga Vacation Program begin with an 8pm satsang on the first day of the program and conclude with an 8 pm satsang on the last day of the program.
