Each class contains 2 CDs 160 minutes @ $20 per Class. KARMA - Science teaches us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The ancient Vedic culture knew that these laws governed more that merely the physical world and also included human evolution from lifetime to lifetime. As Jeffrey Armstrong so intriguingly puts it, the universe is in fact a University, and karma is how the soul, or Atma, learns the lessons it needs to progress through this cosmic school. DHARMA - Why are we here and what is our purpose? If you've ever considered the idea that it was no accident that you were born, then the next thought should be, "How should I live and what should I do that fulfills the reason for my life?" Dharma looks at what rules constitute right living so that we are not only in alignment with our purpose, but also with the well-being of all living beings and the entire planet. ARTHA - According to the Vedic culture, one of the four duties, or purusharthas, in human life is the creation of wealth. But, how can we really understand this as a sacred dharma when we live in a money-obsessed world that seems bent on destroying everything in the name of profit? As Jeffrey Armstrong points out, with more wealth comes more, not less, responsibility. Artha, therefore, is not simply mindless acquisition, but entails the well-being and long-term care of the planet and all the resources for the common good. KAMA - How does the enjoyment of life feed the soul? In Western traditions, pleasure was often seen as sinful and in opposition to spiritual pursuits, while the East took a very different point of view. In this class, Jeffrey Armstrong shows how the Vedic culture used Kama, or the sixty-four arts and sciences, to link us to our deepest hunger for divine connection. MOKSHA - Why is it that we so often feel trapped: in our jobs, our relationships and our daily lives? Is it possible that our deep yearning for freedom is an essential quality of the soul and therefore we unconsciously rebel against being stuck or limited in any way? By understanding our true nature, we begin to free ourselves from bondage and take the path that leads towards liberation, or Moksha, rather than burying ourselves deeper into distractions and addictions. SUMMARY - A thought provoking class whose conclusion offers a life changing challenge. KUNDALINI Series The Yoga of Fire and Light - How to Enter the Transcendental Kundalini is Sanskrit for the life force and refers metaphorically to the coiled serpent of energy that lies at the base of the spine. The ascent of the kundalini within our own body also refers to the soul s return journey back to the transcendental realms. The great Vedic yogis and Rishis of India have clearly articulated the differences between the material and transcendental realms. Through yogic and tantric practices the kundalini can be reawakened to allow for greater selfexpression, leading ultimately to self-actualization or moksha, liberation. 10 Class Series: Order the complete set for $170.

The Yoga of the Bhagavad-Gita By Jeffrey Armstrong The Bhagavad-gita is the tip of a transcendental iceberg, the peak of a mountain called the Mahabharata in the great epic history of India. Set in the mysterious and opulent Asia of 5,000 years ago, the 100,000 verse Mahabharata is ten times bigger than the Iliad and Odyssey of Greece combined. In eighteen chapters and 700 verses, the Supreme Lord Krishna who appeared on Earth at that time in history, explains to His cousin and friend Arjuna, all of the most important truths of Yoga philosophy and practice. Each of the 18 chapters reveals another aspect of yogic learning and practice until finally Arjuna is restored to his original Divine consciousness. This same immortal text of the Bhagavad-Gita has inspired thinkers in India and around the world to find courage and face the challenges of life with spiritual grace and peaceful determination. In the words of Shri Krishna: "My dear Arjuna, armed with Yoga, stand and fight." Albert Einstein When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous. Aldous Huxley The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.

The Para mahamsa Series Presented by Jeffrey Armstrong Kavindra Rishi Learning for Yoga Students and Teacher Training Reviews by Michelle Hall 6 Class Series. Order the complete set for $102. Each class contains 2 CDs 160 minutes @ $20 per Class. CLASS 1 Ambassadors of the Transcendental In the Vedic teachings the swan, or Hamsa, is a symbol of the aspiring soul who yearns for divine connection. In this first of a 6 part series, Kavindra Rishi explains that like the swan, we need to learn how to glide across the waters of the material world, choose to live only in the cleanest of waters, associate with others with that divine yearning and develop the skill, as the Vedic supreme swans the Parama Hamsas can, of separating milk from water when the two are mixed. In other words, we need to live with discernment within the material world so that we do not become poisoned by it. CLASS 2 Restoring Memory Through Sarasvati Do you ever sense that there is something that you once understood, but have now forgotten? In this class, Jeffrey explains how Sarasvati, the mother of all learning, is the source for inspiration and as a role model. As the keeper of all knowledge and in charge of the sixty-four sacred arts, developing a relationship with Sarasvati opens us up to receiving the knowledge we have forgotten as well as inspiring us to the refinements that are the highest qualities of human activity on this plane. Relating to this divine feminine aspect is much needed in our world for men and women alike. CLASS 3 Brahma the Creator - Guru and Source of the Vedas What if the problems in life were not problems, but simply the outcome of us violating the Laws of Nature? By living in ignorance of how and why this world was created, we are unable to live harmoniously and in accordance with our dharma. In this class, Jeffrey talks about how knowledge and wisdom are the divine expressions of Brahma and Sarasvati. Once we begin to live as if this were true, it completely changes our way of being and we realize that everything in our lives rests on knowledge and the refinements of expressing it. CLASS 4 Longing & Belonging With the Transcendental One of the largest psychological scars that most people suffer from is the sense of not belonging or, as psychologists call it the wound of abandonment. Heightened by our Western scientific perspective of the world, we often feel like accidental motes adrift in an unfeeling universe. But that perspective only persists because we have not been taught the truth about our divine nature and a greater, subtler reality that exists beyond what we can see. Yogic practices help us to redirect our hurt feelings of longing towards positive emotions that focus on our true and intrinsic connection to the divine. CLASS 5 Nama & Rupa Dharana - Seeing & Hearing the Transcendental What exactly is meditation? So many traditions suggest that we focus on the 'void' or the 'oneness'. But according to the Vedic Dvaita school of thought we are eternally individual, so it makes no sense to meditate in such a way that the ultimate goal is a merging with the one. In this class, Jeffrey turns our attention away from negative meditation to pointing out how our deepest hunger is not for dissolution, but for a profound connection with the divine. CLASS 6 Matter is the Dictionary of Spirit Many spiritual traditions suggest that the ways of the world are a distraction and offer ways of turning away from them. However, in this final class of the Paramahamsa series, Jeffrey explains how the Vedic culture sees the world as unconscious matter infused with transcendental beauty, rather like sugar mixed in sand. Rather than renouncing the world, Jeffrey shows us how to walk through life with the discernment that beauty has the power to awaken and inspire our atma. Like the sacred swans or Paramahamsas, as yogic students we need to learn to glide across the troubled waters of life drinking only the pure and not being harmed by the impure. 8- Page Total In the Vedic teachings the swan, or Hamsa, is a symbol of the aspiring soul who yearns for divine connection.
