Students learn to unravel the deeper layers of meaning in the Bhagavad Gita and to apply the eternal wisdoms contained therein to their own internal growth and spiritual development. The course guides students to examine how attachment and desire, and their partner states of anger, greed and spiritual pride, are foundational to obstructing spiritual growth and how the application of techniques recommended in the Gita expel these. The Gita is explored through the writings of four masters who embody Guru Parampara (eternal wisdom flowing in the lineage of Jnana Shakti): Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Chidbhavananda, Swami Rama, and Swami Veda Bharati. Their insights on the Gita are expounded and applied to the use of yoga therapy in contemporary healing environments. The teachings in the Gita are contextualised by examining earlier and later texts from the yogic tradition including and not limited to: the Vedas, Tantras, Samkhya Yoga, Tattva samāsa sutras, and Patanjali’s Sutras. The teachings contained in the Gita are explored with reference to several yoga practices and their application in yoga therapy, and how the use of these enhance the yoga therapist’s intuition in service of the healing process.
