SESSION #2: Yoga and Hinduism

The aim of this session is to explore the main themes circulating at Yogaland.

From the trivial to the subtle, don't panic.

The point is to bring out the "points" we hold dear, to be able to put them into shape, perhaps to open up new investigations, a source of erudition perhaps and, let's hope, of positive joy...

Presentation

The presentation I'm going to use (which I suggest you consult after the session if you want to review an extract or the whole thing).

Preparation

A brief history of yoga: 5' at most...

Exploring the Yogic Path: 26'.

Please write down the minutes of a passage that spoke to you, that you really appreciated and another that shocked you...

Indian philosophies (4-4) - Yoga, a discipline of the mind

A very curious program from France Culture... Yes, 50 minutes... But so enjoyable! (If you're in a hurry, you can skip the last part, from min 26 onwards, about Aurobindo. For the curious, at the very end: the sidhis are back, for real!

Extras

A denser video with more familiar references: What's yoga?

Finally, for those with an appetite, the film: "Le Soufle des Dieux" by a German debonair who has gone back to his roots: Mysore etc. Available in theatres on DVD on request!
