The Yoga of Mahabharata Course is a transformative experience that utilizes the ancient epic Mahabharata as a tool for self-reflection and introspection. This epic has been a part of people's lives for centuries and is considered the 5th Veda. Its vast repository of human contexts and archetypal characters provides us with a unique opportunity to explore our inner worlds and gain a deep comprehension of our psyche and its patterns.
The course is designed to awaken the archetypal characters from the Mahabharata in one's own life through dialogue and reflective activities. Through an experiential engagement with the Mahabharata, one can develop greater insights into their own psyche and patterns of the mind. The course aims to offer a holistic experience of yoga beyond just postures (asanas) or breathing techniques (pranayama) and evoke healing processes within oneself.
The course is based on the teachings of Yogacharya T Krishnamacharya, the father of modern yoga, and his son Shri TKV Desikachar. It requires a pre-work of reading select stories from the Mahabharata and writing reflections before attending each session. The exploration in this course is not a didactic course on Mahabharata but enables one to delve into one's psyche using the Mahabharata as a mirror into one's mental processes.
The course is dialogic and calls for a willingness to be self-reflective, share with oneself, and listen to others sensitively. It aims to develop the sakhi bhava (friendliness) and sakshi bhava (meditative listening) to be able to listen to our own self and the others from a deeper space. However, the course is not recommended for anyone who is going through treatment for any psychological illness.
In conclusion, the Yoga of Mahabharata Course is a unique opportunity to explore our inner worlds and gain a deeper understanding of our psyche using the ancient epic Mahabharata as a mirror. It offers a transformative experience that goes beyond just the physical aspects of yoga and helps us develop greater insights into our mental and emotional processes.
