  • Bhagavad Gita Class Darshan
    The Bhagavad Gītā tells the story of the inner battle that rages between the positive and negative energies that are within each individual (bhagavadgītā: भगवद्गीता ). Babaji, in his commentary and through his answers to questions during darśana reminds us that this battle is waged as we struggle to achieve self-development and ultimately freedom from the bondage of ego, attachment and desires.

  • Saṁyama Retreat
    As described in Book III of the Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali, saṁyama is a rapid turn of concentrated mind meditating on an object and falling into samādhi on that object. This gives awareness of the subtlety of that object and enhances the powers and knowledge of the yogi. Baba Hari Dass led this retreat pertaining to Saṁyama in 2000. ( Patañjali: पतञ्जलि ; samādhi: समाधि ; samyama: संयम ; sūtra: सूत्र ; yoga: योग ; yogin: योगिन् )
  • Yoga Sutra Class Darshan
    These questions and their answers from Baba Hari Dass were recorded by transcripts taken in darśana after the Yoga Sūtra Class. While the class covered one sūtra in detail, the Q and A was not always focused on the topic of that teaching. ( darśana : दर्शन ; sūtra : सूत्र ; yoga : योग )
