Divided into 15 chapters, it explores the discrimination of reality, the illumination of truth through meditation, and the bliss that arises from Self-realization. Combining philosophy, logic, and spiritual practice, the text serves as a guide for seekers to understand and experience the unity of the self with the infinite Brahman, leading to liberation ( moksha ).

Recorded on May 15, 2021How we see the past shapes our understanding of the present. Scholarship defines the past as something shaped by temporal human forces, primarily politics, power, and market trends. Wisdom traditions, on the other hand, see the past as shaped by universal, timeless truths. In this dialog, religious studies professor Ravi Gupta and host Joshua Greene explore competing narratives of the past, their impact on the present and their role in shaping humanity’s future.Ravi M....

Navratri, also spelled Navaratri or Navarathri, is a 9 day long Hindu festival celebrated in almost every part of India. In most parts it is celebrated in honor of the divine Devi - Durga, a re-incarnation of Adi Shakti. In the southern and eastern states of India, the Durga Puja is synonymous with worshiping the Goddess - Navratri, wherein goddess Durga battles and emerges victorious over Mahishasura - the buffalo demon. In the northern and western states, the festival celebrates the battle and victory of god Rama over the demon king Ravana. In both cases, the festival celebrates the victory of the good over evil. The 9 days of Navratri are dedicated to the worship of 9 forms of the Goddess - Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalaratri, Mahagauri, Durga or ParaShakti. Here are the stories of each of these Goddesses. नवरात्रि भारत के लगभग हर हिस्से में मनाया जाने वाला 9 दिवसीय हिंदू त्योहार है। अधिकांश भागों में यह दिव्य देवी - दुर्गा, आदि शक्ति के पुन: अवतार के सम्मान में मनाया जाता है। भारत के दक्षिणी और पूर्वी राज्यों में, दुर्गा पूजा का उत्सव मनाया जाता है, जिसमें देवी दुर्गा युद्ध करती हैं और महिषासुर - भैंस दानव पर विजय प्राप्त करती हैं। उत्तरी और पश्चिमी राज्यों में, यह त्योहार राक्षसराज रावण पर भगवान श्री राम की लड़ाई और जीत के जश्न के रूप में मनाई जाती है। बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत का सन्देश यह त्यौहार देता है। नवरात्रि के 9 दिन देवी के 9 रूपों - शैलपुत्री, ब्रह्मचारिणी, चंद्रघंटा, कुष्मांडा, स्कंदमाता, कात्यायनी, कालरात्रि, महागौरी, दुर्गा या परशक्ति की पूजा के लिए समर्पित हैं। यहां आप प्रत्येक देवी की कहानी सुन सकते हैं।

“The teachers of the science of Yoga, therefore, declare that religion is not only based upon the experience of ancient times, but that no man can be religious until he has the same perceptions himself. Yoga is the science which teaches us how to get these perceptions.” (Swami Vivekananda Raja Yoga, page 15)
The tradition of yoga philosophy in India takes Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as its fundamental text. The author of these sutras was the ancient sage Patanjali who is also well-known for fundamental contributions in other fields of Indian philosophy. This unique tradition and text give a deep and profound analysis of the human mind, which in yoga philosophy includes the emotions (obsessive attraction, aversion, fear, etc.), memories, the speculative and imaginative faculties, the decision-making faculty, the will, our sense of “I”, etc., which have their sources in our words, thoughts, deeds from this life and in previous life cycles and which determine how we behave and react today. In short, the Yoga Sutras explain the deep mysteries of the experiences that we go through.
A sutra is an aphoristic statement concisely describing fundamental spiritual truths experienced by ancient sages as a result of their spiritual insights and realizations. These sutras have been accepted over the centuries as being authoritative and have stood the test of time.
Because of their brevity, these sutras have over the centuries been repeatedly commented on by qualified spiritual teachers who have transmitted their insights in the form of commentaries on these sutras. In this series of classes Swami Tattwamayananda will be teaching these sutras in the light of the traditional Sanskrit commentaries. It is a new expanded version distinct from the exposition given from October 10, 2014 to December 21, 2018. The recommended text for this lecture series is “Raja Yoga” by Swami Vivekananda.

This series of lectures is co-sponsored by the Stanford Hindu Students Association.
