The Heart of Yoga: Philosophy, Policy, and Social Justice with Hari-kirtana das

Join us for an illuminating conversation with Hari-kirtana das, a seasoned yoga teacher, philosopher, and advocate for non-sectarian spirituality. Together, we’ll explore how ancient yoga philosophy provides a framework for addressing modern social and political challenges, including the separation of church and state, systemic injustice, and the role of discernment in creating equitable policies and communities.
This webinar will weave together a guided meditation, insights into the Bhagavad Gita, and reflections on how the qualities of material nature (the three gunas) shape individual and societal behavior.
Key topics include:
How yoga supports the cultivation of discernment and self-awareness.
The intersection of spirituality and social justice
A non-sectarian approach to divinity and its relevance in secular societies.
Practical applications of yogic philosophy in addressing systemic harm.
