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. Hari-kirtana will guide us in examining how yoga philosophy invites us to see all beings as spiritually equal, offering profound tools for fostering justice and compassion in a world marked by material inequalities.

Key topics include:

  • How yoga supports the cultivation of discernment and self-awareness.
  • The intersection of spirituality and social justice in modern policymaking.
  • A non-sectarian approach to divinity and its relevance in secular societies.
  • Practical applications of yogic philosophy in addressing systemic harm.

This session is ideal for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of yoga as a philosophy of liberation and its potential to inspire compassionate engagement in the world.
