Knowledge is for Action. Action is for Achievement. Achievement is for Fulfillment. —Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Yoga is much more than Yoga postures. Yoga means ‘union’ and Maharishi Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra describes how one can achieve Unity Consciousness. Embark on a transformative journey into Maharishi Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, guided by the profound translation of Thomas Egenes and the timeless wisdom of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Maharishi explains that the eight limbs of Yoga unfold simultaneously, not in sequence. We’ll explore each limb together in an interactive way.
“
In the vicinity of yoga, hostile tendencies are eliminated.—Maharishi Patañjali
The main features of the course:
Group reading of the Yoga Sūtras via Tom Egenes’ English translation (provided as a handout)
Rare lectures by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Interactive discussions with our esteemed course leaders, Dr. John Bright and Dr. Daniel Pal
Following a week of immersion into the Yoga Sūtra, we will continue our journey with the profound and practical wisdom of the Bhagavad-Gita—where Lord Krishna unveils to Arjuna the ultimate path to freedom and fulfillment, relevant for every seeker of truth.
“
I shall declare to you without reserve this knowledge combined with experience, knowing which there remains nothing else to be known here. —Chapter 7, Verse 2
In this course, we will focus on selected verses from Maharishi’s Bhagavad-Gita, Chapters 1–10, where Lord Krishna takes us on a journey towards full enlightenment.

Rediscover simple, practical solutions to life’s challenges rooted in this ancient knowledge
Deepen your connection to these timeless teachings that will, in turn, inspire lasting transformation

The whole atmosphere was something magical! I found a very deep calmness within myself. It is a real sanctuary of consciousness for me, and ultimate knowledge is the best medicine for everything!—Attila Szilágyi— Bhagavad-Gita course, 2023
