Yoga Vasishtha | Satsang 1 | 16 Feb 2025 (Evening) | Sri M | Yogadham, Prayagraj | Maha Kumbh

'The Yoga Vasishtha is the greatest help to the spiritual awakening and the direct experience of the Truth. This is certain. If this is what you want, you are welcome to the Yoga Vasishtha' - Swami Venkatesananda.

Satsang 1 of Yoga Vasishtha - The Supreme Yoga, begins with a prayer, which is a salutation to the Supreme Consciousness. This is followed by a brief introduction to the Yoga Vasishtha and Valmiki's explanation about the qualifications of one who can read the Yoga Vasishtha. The text then goes on to speak at length about Rama's despondency at the changing vicissitudes of life and it's transient nature. Sri M intersperses the reading with stories like that of Sukha Deva. The session draws to a close with Vasishtha's wise counsel to Rama on the importance of self-effort in the spiritual path.

This session (1) took place in Yogadham at Prayagraj, Maha Kumbh on 16th February 2025.
