Spiritual Learnings - Shrimad Bhagavad Gita -   'श्रीमद भगवदगीता-यथा रूप' - हिं

Chapter 5, compares the path of renunciation (Sannyasa) and the path of selfless action (Karma Yoga). Krishna explains that both lead to liberation, but Karma Yoga is easier and more effective for most. A true yogi is one who acts without attachment, desires, or ego, and sees all beings equally. Such a person attains inner peace and unity with the divine.-Send a Voice Message-https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spirituallearningpodcast/messageEmail ID - sharmavatsal2705@gmail.com9225522405

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I interview my professor, Dr. Sue Brown, on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. This episode serves as part of the Maharishi Vedic Science miniseries, so if you enjoy this discussion, check out the rest of the series in episodes 47-53.In this conversation, Dr. Brown and I discuss the Bhagavad Gita's setting on a battlefield, the ultimate location of conflict and extreme differences. We discuss how the battlefield is symbolic of the challenges people face in the world. Dr. Brown describes how to go inward to the field of unity in order to transcend these conflicts.Next, we consider this act of transcending as the essence of the Bhagavad Gita, and the practice of Transcendental Meditation as a pathway for avoiding war. Sue describes Chapter 2, Verses 45 and 48 as master keys to unlocking the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the events of the Gita in the broader context of the Mahabharata in which they take place.From there, Dr. Brown explains how Maharishi's commentary differs from those of other sages throughout the ages. We consider the universal field of consciousness, which our individual brains reflect. We discuss how Krishna helps Arjuna navigate the conflict between his heart and mind, between the collective consciousness demands for him to defend his people while also having compassion for the family members on the opposing force whom he must kill. Dr. Brown and I discuss how the human dilemmas captured in the Bhagavad Gita are universal issues, encountered throughout the ages.Next, we consider Samkhya (theoretical) and Yoga (practical) knowledge contained in the Gita. We discuss how Arjuna reconciles the sin of murder and war with the transcendental forces of collective consciousness. We consider the time period of the Bhagavad Gita, and the similarities with our current Kali Yuga – an age of stress. We discuss the opportunity we currently have to usher in Satya Yuga, a time of construction and creativity.From there, we dive into Chapter 3 and ideas of Yagya, Dharma, Karma Yoga, the path of action, and Gyana Yoga, the path of knowledge. We discuss why the danger of following another's dharma is more dangerous than death. We then discuss Chapter 4 and how action and renunciation of action are two sides of the same coin. We consider misinterpretations of the Gita, including those who view renunciation/detachment as a necessary state of life, rather than as a state of consciousness. We consider the rise and fall of knowledge throughout time.Dr. Brown explains why Maharishi chose to emphasize his teachings on the practical effect of enlightenment, not just the theoretical knowledge. We discuss the four pillars of Yoga – Raja, Karma, Bhakti and Gyana Yoga, and the concept of Moksha, or liberation. We consider how action in accordance with natural law leads to spontaneous right action, and how the path of enlightenment is one of effortlessness and bliss.We then discuss Krishna's final words to Arjuna in Chapter 6, his guidance: “Therefore, be a Yogi.”. We end the conversation discussing the state of unity consciousness and how Brahmin consciousness refers to regaining memory of totality.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

בסרטון הזה גלית חוקרת כיצד נראים חיים של יוגה בחיי היומיום ולא רק על המזרן. תחילה נתרגל שיטה שתעזור לנו "לחזור למסלול" לאחר תקופות הפסקה (או שינוי הרגלים), תוך ניהול דיאלוג פנימי עם ההכרה ורתימתה לשתף פעולה במקום להיאבק בה. לאחר מכן, נתעמק בחמש ה"יוגות": 1. האטה יוגה (Hatha Yoga) – יצירת אורח חיים סטווי, בריא ותומך (גוף, נשימה, תזונה). 2. ראג'ה יוגה (Raja Yoga) – שליטה ומודעות בהכרה, "הנהגת" ההכרה. 3. ניאנה יוגה (Jnana Yoga) – חקירת הטבע שלנו והעולם, רכישת "ידע נכון". 4. קארמה יוגה (Karma Yoga) – פעולה מודעת ומועילה בכל סיטואציה. 5. בהקטי יוגה (Bhakti Yoga) – לצאת מהמעגל האנוכי אל שירות אמיתי מתוך אהבה ונתינה. נדבר על: - התמודדות עם תחושות כמו בדידות באופן שמבוסס על הבנה שהרגש זמני ושאנו יכולים להמשיך לפעול ביעילות אף על פי שהוא נוכח. - היחס לאמונות או תורות אחרות (אסטרולוגיה, יהדות, וכד') – היוגה לא שוללת, כל עוד זה מועיל. - ריצוי וסכנותיו – כיצד לוודא שהפעולות שלנו אכן מועילות ולא נובעות מאוטומט של "רוצים להיות בסדר" בעיני אחרים. - שאלת האמונה באל/ברהמן – מדוע ביוגה אין חובה להאמין ב"אלוהות" ומה תפקיד הוודנטה בנושא. לסיכום, נבין שבסופו של דבר "לחיות את היוגה" פרושו להחזיק אורח חיים שמקדם בהירות ורווחה (סטווה), לפעול מתוך מודעות בכל רגע, להביא ידע נכון לתוך ההכרה, ולבדוק ללא הרף איזו פעולה תשרת את הסיטואציה והזולת באופן מיטיב. צפייה נעימה!! ----------------------

In this episode, Eckhart talks with an audience in Hawaii. He jokes that while many are reluctant to leave the island paradise, their task is to bring expanded consciousness to every area of their lives. Eckhart explains as awareness grows, we add a dimension of presence to everything we do. We may work the same job, but we do it in a different way. We become still and then take our insights into action. Eckhart says giving the fullest attention to our performance in the moment is critical. Then whatever task we perform has purpose whether it's creating a work of art or running a company we release excessive focus on the outcome.  The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu text, referred to it as Karma Yoga because Karma means action. When we attend to our daily lives whatever action we take becomes part of our spiritual practice. Want more podcasts from OWN?

Title: Buddhi Yoga: Art of Working Intelligently18th Chapter: verses 57, 58, 59, 60, 6157th verse: “Mentally offer all actions to Me. Buddhi Yoga is the tool with which you should live and work in this world.”Buddhi Yoga refers to purified intellect. It is the higher faculty of the human mind that enables us to perform our actions without obsessive attachment to the outcome. Our actions sometimes yield favorable results and sometimes unfavorable results. When the mind reacts to unfavorable results, we become anxious. Buddhi Yoga enables us to remain calm even if results are not favorable.The 1st and 2nd verses of the 4th chapter refer to Rajarshi. Rajarshi is a person who has the dual qualities of a king (Rajatvam) and a saint (Rishitvam). As a king, he has great prosperity, dynamism and efficiency. As a saint, he has a calm attitude, can see far into things, and understands the limitations and impermanence of his wealth and powers. Buddhi Yoga means working with the refined intelligence of a Rajarshi.From an advaitic sense, Buddhi Yoga means living and working in this world with the understanding of the transient  nature of the empirical world.The 25th verse of the 3rd chapter contrasts two types of people. (1) Those who work hard with motive and are ignorant of the higher philosophy of Karma-Yoga. For them, every small problem becomes a big headache (2) Those who work equally hard, but who are grounded in Karma-Yoga, and see their work as Swadharma. They are not worried and are called Vidwan.58th verse: “Anyone who practices karma yoga or buddhi yoga can cross the barrier of samsara (transmigratory cycle).”The 59th and 60th verses take us back to the original narrative of Gita, where Arjuna was facing conflicts as he did not want to do an unpleasant duty. Lord Krishna says: “If instead of practicing karma yoga, you think you can run away from your duty, that is your fantasy. Your own swabhava will compel you to do the duty.”Swabhava is our inherent nature that determines our outlook to life and our actions. Every action leaves a residual effect (vritti) in our mental system. Many identical vrittis – from similar, repeated actions – solidify a distinct memory block called Samskara. Samskaras express through our determination to act in a certain manner, called Sankalpa. Sankalpa leads to further actions. This wheel continues, and it shapes our Swabhava.We can change our swabhava by consciously doing good actions and increasing the storehouse of positive samskaras.In the 61st verse, Lord Krishna puts forward a new idea. He compared God to an engineer and says: “He is running this huge machinery of creation. He is present in everyone as one immanent reality. He regulates and activates every being just like an engineer regulates and activates a machine.”God is omnipresent through immanence. Creator is present in creation. Neither is outside of the other.Spiritually, the entire existence is one. one who is truly spiritual cannot hurt any being. There is no otherness for him.Happiness is only the temporary absence of unhappiness. When we reach a state of mind, where we have santosha (contentment), we stop looking for happiness. We go beyond the happiness and unhappiness equation. That is true happiness.

Title: Universal Approach of Gita18th Chapter: verses 56, 57, 58, 59Gita offers four paths for spiritual realization: Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Dhyana Yoga.56th verse: “Surrender all your actions and results to Me. Then My grace will take you to the highest spiritual destination.”57th verse: “Mentally offer all actions to Me. Your life will be spiritualized through this philosophy of dedication and internal detachment.”58th verse: “If your fix your mind on Me, you will overcome difficulties through My grace.”Gita encourages us to live life in such a way that we become good human beings. Everything we do should become a path of worship and leads to highest enlightenment.Mahatma Gandhi was inspired by Gita. He said: “Gita has become an infallible guide of my conduct. It has become the dictionary of my daily reference, the dictionary of my conduct. It has the ready solution for all my troubles and trials.”The 57th verse refers to Buddhi Yoga. It is the wisdom and spiritual common sense with which we live in the world. We keep in mind that everything in the world is impermanent – money, power, health are all impermanent. Buddhi Yoga is also mentioned in the 39th verse of the 2nd chapter ofGita – it says that we should do all our actions with a degree of detachment.Buddhi Yoga helps us conserve energy. Our energy gets dissipated when we get anxious and worried due to obsessive attachment to results.These two verses have references to both karma yoga and bhakti yoga. Bhakti is spontaneous, natural flow of love towards God. The 26th verse of the 9th chapter says: “If you offer with bhakti (devotion) even a leaf or flower or fruit or water – I accept it as the devout gift of the pure hearted devotee.”Bhakti and purity of heart is what is important – it is what compels the Lord to accept the offering. A big ritual is in no way superior to a leaf offered with a pure heart. What we are offering is not a leaf or flower – we are offering ourselves and our own heart, which is what the Lord cares about.Bhagavata Purana and Gita both define the highest devotee of God. Bhagavata Purana defines it as: “The one who sees the presence of God in all beings, and who sees the presence of all beings in God.“  Gita defines the highest devotee as one whose “every thought becomes a meditation, every word becomes a mantra, every action becomes an act of worship, every travel becomes a pilgrimage, every movement becomes a circumambulation around the deity, whose whole life becomes spiritualized and an offering to God.”When we can do all our secular activities in a spiritual manner, our karmic blocks are dismantled. A beginner's mind may not cooperate when he starts spiritual practices. This is due to accumulated samskaras which make him act in a certain manner. He may want to read a spiritual book, but the mind presents stumbling blocks – it is accustomed to things that are not conducive to spiritual life. Such a mind should be given healthy food first, such as reading good books, listening to higher ideas and holy association.How can we judge whether our mind is healthy? The answer is in an ancient ayurvedic verse from Sushruta Samhita: “sama dosha sama agnischa sama dhatu mala kriyaaha| Prasanna atma indriya manaha swastha iti abhidheeyate”. It says that the mind is healthy when it is contented, enjoys inner serenity. This happens when we do start doing our actions endowed with Buddhi Yoga.Spirituality goes beyond religion. One who is truly spiritual (1) feels inner contentment, and (2) interacts with others in a positive manner. He feels inner serenity and at the same time is a blessing for others.Gita takes a universal approach towards spirituality. It is not confined to the walls of a place of worship. A spiritual person treats the entire creation as one spiritual family, not limited to human beings. He does not violate the existing harmony of nature. He is not afraid of anyone nor is anyone afraid of him.Gita is a dialog between Lord Krishna and Arjuna in a battlefield. The battlefield is the human mind. Arjuna wanted to shy away from a duty that was unpleasant to him. So, Lord Krishna tells him in the 59th verse: “Everyone should perform their duty with dedication and without attachment top results. If you think that running away from duty will solve your problems, you are mistaken. Your own nature will compel you to do your duty (fight).”Action is inescapable. How we face our action is what matters. No one can remain mentally inactive even for a split moment. The attitude with which we perform our actions determines whether the action is secular or spiritual.

Title: The Three Traits of Karta18th Chapter: verse 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27Gita is a condensation of the entire vedic literature. The 18th chapter is a condensation of entire Gita.Lord Krishna divides human traits in three areas – sattvic, rajasik and tamasik.Jnanam (knowledge), karta (doer), karma (action) and buddhi (intellect) – all can be divided into these three traits. Jnanam refers to our perception of life, how we interpret life. Karma is any kind of activity that we engage in. Karta is how we act and define ourselves in terms of what we do. Buddhi refers to the workings of our emotional system. If we understand our traits in all of these four areas, we can transform and improve ourselves.We can infer which trait is predominant in a person by observing his external temperament. A sattvik person is calm and serene even in difficult situations. A rajasik person is swayed by his circumstances. A tamasik person is dull and non-responsive., not understanding what is happening around him.These traits can also be applied to food. Sattvik food keeps us serene. Rajasik food creates excitement. Tamasik food makes us sleepy, confused and deluded.The 20th, 21st and 22nd verses discuss the three levels of refinement of knowledge - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik. They discuss how people with these three gunas comprehend different situations.The 20th verse describes the sattvik nature of knowledge. “That knowledge by which one sees the one supreme reality which is immanent, which is all-pervading, which remains the same without division, which is the indweller in every being, is Sattvik knowledge.” Even when perceiving the differences in the world, he keeps in mind the presence of the divine as the unifying factor everywhere.21st verse: “That knowledge by which one sees everything as different from everything else, by which one sees certain people as eternally good and certain people as eternally bad, is rajasik knowledge.”22nd verse: “There are people who may have a small, petty idea, which may be irrational, but still, they think that their perception alone is correct. Everything else is false. The knowledge of such people is tamasik.”The 23rd, 24th and 25th verses discuss the three levels of refinement of actions - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik. The way we act and perform our responsibilities is also a sign of spiritual growth.23rd verse: “When we do our actions considering it as our sacred duty, without extreme attachment, without aversion to anyone, without any selfish expectations of benefits – such action is sattvik.”24th verse: “Actions that are done with selfish desire, and which are done with strain to the mental system, are rajasik.”Actions done without selfish motives and attachment keeps the mind tranquil. Actions done with selfish motives and attachment unsettles our mind and emotional system.25th verse: “People who are reckless and ruthless, who do not worry about consequences, who are slaves of their impulses, who do not worry about loss of money or resources, who do not worry about whether their actions bring harm to others, who want to finish the action at any cost – their actions are tamasik.”Lord Krishna describes Karma Yoga as a method by which we can make ourselves sattvik. At a mental level, we do not have control over what thought comes next. At a physical level, we have more freedom. By doing noble activities without selfish motives, in the midst of our normal professional duties, we generate spiritual energy and deposit more sattvik properties in the mental system.The 26th, 27th and 28th verses discuss the three levels of refinement of karta (doer) - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik.26th verse: “Who is a sattvik karta? He is totally devoid of any attachment. He does a lot of good things but does not identify himself as the doer.”If we engage in a lot of work without sense of doer ship, we are not fatigued. The body may take a toll, but the mind stays fresh.Shankaracharya says: “The kindergarten of spiritual life is to engage in some good noble activity.” That approach is described in the 26th verse. It turns the mind sattvik.At the age of seven,  Shankaracharya  became a monk. By the age of eight, he had read the scriptures. By the age of sixteen, he had mastered the scriptures and written philosophical discourses. We read the Gita today because of his commentaries. He walked the Indian subcontinent four times and left by the age of thirty-two. Sister Nivedita says on Shankaracharya's greatness: “This is greatness that we can only appreciate from a distance but can never understand.”27th verse: “Who is rajasik karta? His mind moves from one polar opposite to another, from extreme joy to depression. When he gets expected results, he is overjoyed (harsha). When he does not get expected results, he is depressed (shoka). Obsessed by what he is doing, he is mentally fatigued.”The secret to happiness is to stop looking for happiness all the time.The way to get rid of obsessive attachment is to feed the mind with great spiritual ideas, give it good mental food.

This episode is based on a talk given by Dr. Swami Shankardev to Yogic Studies students in February 2005 on the keys to heart presence and selfless service.This talk arose in response to a student who was struggling to practice service, an aspect of Karma Yoga. In the talk, Swami Shankardev discusses the following:1. Selfless service is an important path to managing the ego and bringing it into a relationship with the highest Self.2. How true service illuminates the mind, enabling us to connect to a higher, more conscious state of being.3. Even in enlightened states, the ego still exists and needs to be managed. (Ego is only eradicated at the very last stage of human evolution.)4. Selfless service is a path to purifying the chakras, allowing higher consciousness and intuition to flow into our lives. Without this capacity for giving, we remain overly attached to things that block consciousness from moving beyond the constricting influence of the ego.The main meditation to disentangle from the selfish aspect of the ego and become centered in the highest Self is Inner Silence (Antar Mouna). This practice enables you to observe the mind and the ego, to free yourself from their negative influence, and to come back into a relationship with the highest Self.One of the best methods for forging a path between our individual self and the universal Self is Ajapa Japa. This wonderful meditation practice charges the mind with energy and links individual consciousness with higher consciousness. We can then act with an awareness of the universal within our individual lives.Subscribe to our eNewsletter and receive substantial discounts on products https://bigshakti.comBig Shakti podcast https://bigshakti.com/podcast/For more information on Big Shakti meditations, go to https://bigshakti.com/meditations/For more information on Big Shakti's Yoga and Meditation Courses, go to https://bigshakti.com/courses/For information regarding Jayne Stevenson's intuitive healing and dream therapy practice, go to https://bigshakti.com/about/jayne-stevenson/For information regarding Dr. Swami Shankardev's medical and psychotherapy practice, go to https://bigshakti.com/about/dr-swami-shankardev-saraswati/Big Shakti's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@BigShakti

In this week's episode of Warriors Unmasked, we had the privilege of welcoming an extraordinary guest, Edit B. Kiss, whose life story and work embody the essence of transformation, healing, and empowerment. Edit, a holistic mentor, success habit coach, #1 best-selling author, Humanitarian Award winner, and international speaker, delves deep into her journey of discovery, healing, and ultimately, helping others find their true selves amidst the chaos of life. Edit's early intrigue with spirituality laid the groundwork for a life dedicated to exploring the depths of human potential. Yet, her path took an initial detour into the world of petroleum engineering, where she spent 15 years before a profound desire to be closer to her children and a deeper calling led her towards becoming a full-time coach and holistic healer. This pivotal transition was not merely a career change but a leap into a world where her passions and purpose converged. With a rich background in various healing modalities, including Reiki, Sekhem Healing, and Karma Yoga, Edit has honed her skills to address the complex tapestry of challenges her clients face. From releasing long-standing pains and blockages to healing ancestral defects and emotional traumas, her work spans the globe, touching lives in the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Nigeria. Her clientele is as diverse as her skill set, ranging from millionaire traders and influencers to artists, each finding solace and transformation under her guidance. Edit's insights and methodologies have not only transformed individual lives but have also gained recognition on prominent platforms. Her participation in Deborah Funmi Mupapa's “Life Assurance” podcast and her role as an ongoing panelist shed light on her profound understanding of life, marriage, and the soul. Furthermore, her contributions to the “Global Hope Conference” and her published advice in “Authority Magazine” on developing serenity in anxious times underscore her commitment to fostering well-being and resilience. Her literary contributions, including co-authoring the #1 bestseller “1 Habit for Entrepreneurial Success” and her latest book, "On the Healer's Journey," offer readers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical strategies for self-improvement and healing. Her recognition by Thrive Global as the Habit Expert and her interviews on platforms like “Business Innovators Radio” and the “Tiaras Tears and Triumphs Podcast” amplify her message of healing and growth. For those seeking to explore the depths of their own being, to heal from within, and to align with their authentic selves, Edit's journey is a beacon of hope and transformation.

In our Mysticast conversation with Dr. John DeMartini (https://drdemartini.com/) a leading authority on human behaviour and personal development, we explore similarities between the Dr. John's discovery on how to stay authentic by applying what he calls the Law of Contrast and Master of Yoga, Dr. King's advanced yoga techniques. https://www.aetherius.org/dr-george-king/ Dr. John is the founder of a private research and education organization, the Demartini Institute, which hosts a curriculum of more than seventy-two courses covering multiple aspects of human development.The biggest parallel drawn from this exploration was the understanding of the necessity of rising above all petty likes and dislikes. Dr. King taught that by using spiritual energy correctly through Karma Yoga (aka Impersonal service) would balance our evolutionary weaknesses and this would reveal the true self.Dr. John explains it as the correlation between your perceptions and authenticity ‘When you compare yourself to others and EXAGGERATE their qualities, you tend to minimize yourself in return by the law of contrast'. ‘When you MINIMIZE their qualities, you might self-righteously believe you're smarter or more successful'.By comparison you actively move away from being authentic.

He also clarifies how by giving, we don't “gain” happiness because happiness is our true nature. The way to not lose our happiness is by not running after non-existent happiness.

As you know, a tantra is often divided into four parts:1. jñāna-pada, the philosophical transmission,2. Yoga-pada, the section of esoteric practices like meditation and mantra repetition3. Kriyā-pada, the manual for pūjā or ritualistic worship4. Cārya-pada, the section on how to live your life in the world as a practitioner!Having discussed the first three parts quite extensively it's now time to turn the next question: “how do we move about in this world as a genuine spiritual aspirant?”How do we set up boundaries against those who might do us harm in a skillful and yogic way? How are we to make a living? Etc.What I intend to do tonight is read to you from some sections of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna where the Master offers some very profound cārya-pada-esque instructions for how to be in the world as an aspirant, especially as householders with families and jobs without losing your spiritual momentum and depth of practice!Here's what we derived:The Master would say: bhakti shār: Bhakti, devotion, is the essence. The purpose of life is to cultivate love for the Divine. As such, for creating this kind of spiritual intoxication, the following is suggested: Cārya-Pada (Code of Spiritual Conduct)/  The Ten Commandments of Ramakrishna:1.Revere everyone, especially all women as the living embodiment of the Divine Mother.2. Pray to God fervently and constantly with a yearning heart for faith, devotion, knowledge and renunciation.3. Go into solitude often and think of God.4. Do you duties but keep your mind on God (through repeating the mantra, chanting/singing God's glories etc. and above all by remembering that the person you are serving is none othert than God, i.e Karma Yoga in the Vivekananda sense.)5. Love everyone intensely even as you renounce them fully knowing they belong not you but to God. (i.e live in the world like the maidservant in the rich man's house)6. Practice discrimination. Ask: "did I get from this experience what I wanted? Did this really fulfill me?“ i.e "Education through Experience". The more you think of worldly things, the more you will be attached to them. Shake off impermanent objects from your mind by practicing discrimination.7. Regularly spend time In holy company (sadhu sangha)8. When dealing with the "tiger God" (worldly people), "bow from a distance". That is to say, have love and respect for them but do not have further dealings with them. Avoid their company as far as possible.9. Remember the Mahut God: be practical in worldly dealings.10. Don't be like the snake: you can hiss to set boundaries and protect yourself without injuring others.Lectures happen live on zoom every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and Friday at 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lectures. It is free and open to the public.

Yoga teachers are often asked to teach for free in the name of Karma Yoga. However, when this term is divorced from the context of yoga philosophy, it can be exploited and misused. In this episode, Mado explores the practice of Karma Yoga and some of the less obvious implications behind the decision of whether or not to teach for free.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: How the term Karma Yoga is commonly misused and a more accurate explanation of what it means.  How Karma Yoga fits into the framework of the Purusharthas or the four aims of life. Three approaches to teaching yoga and how they relate to the Purusharthas. Pros and cons of each approach and how to choose which is best for you based on your circumstances. How teaching for free might help others or harm others - and ways to mitigate potential harm.   LINKS AND RESOURCES: Follow YTR on Instagram @yoga.teacher.resource  Join the Yoga Teacher Resource email list Join the Yoga Teacher Resource Facebook Group Learn more about the Impact Club Leave a review on iTunes Ask a question for the podcast on the Yoga Teacher Resource website or on SpeakPipe
