SRV’s Autumn Retreat, October 6th – October 9th
The Mental Sadhana of Yoga:
Climbing the Eight-Limbed Tree of Classic Yoga
Babaji Bob Kindler will present essential facets of Yoga, the science of mental control that prepares one for Samadhi, absorption in perfect Freedom and Bliss.
This first Raja Yoga retreat ever given by Babaji was presented in Hawaii last June. He is offering it again for mainland students. The Mental Sadhana of Yoga features most of Babaji’s 16 charts on Patanjala Yoga and a few others. Each limb is covered deeply, with especial attention given to pratyahara and dharana (withdrawing the mind from objects and concentration), the pivotal limbs that either prevent or assure that samadhi is reached.
“Most of us know how adept Babaji is at integrating the different darshanas/philosophical systems. At our retreat in Hawaii he did this to a superlative degree within the context of the 8 Limbed Yoga of Patanjali in the realm of method, practice, and realization. Gaps were filled in with regard to the essential limbs of pratyahara and dharana, as well as a deeper understanding of prana from its basic import to psychic prana and beyond.” — student
