Using the Mahabharata as a Mirror to Understand Your Mind

Hindu University Of America03 Mar, 2023Education

The Yoga of Mahabharata Course is a transformative experience that utilizes the ancient epic Mahabharata as a tool for self-reflection and introspection. This epic has been a part of people's lives for centuries and is considered the 5th Veda. Its vast repository of human contexts and archetypal characters provides us with a unique opportunity to explore our inner worlds and gain a deep comprehension of our psyche and its patterns. The course is designed to awaken the archetypal characters from the Mahabharata in one's own life through dialogue and reflective activities. Through an experiential engagement with the Mahabharata, one can develop greater insights into their own psyche and patterns of the mind. The course aims to offer a holistic experience of yoga beyond just postures (asanas) or breathing techniques (pranayama) and evoke healing processes within oneself.
