Dive Deep into the Ultimate Knowledge of Maharishi Patañjali and Lord Krishna

Maharishi Patañjali Yoga Sūtra

Aug 9 - 16, 2025 

Bhagavad-Gita ch. 1-10

Aug 16 - 23, 2025 

Join us at the Purusha campus in West Virginia (USA) or Oebisfelde (Germany) for a profound immersion into the timeless wisdom of the Yoga Sūtra and the Bhagavad-Gita chapters 1-10. You can apply for both courses together or for the Yoga Sutra course by itself.

The courses will be led by distinguished Vedic scholars:

To unite both campuses and enhance the shared experience, we’ll be connecting once a day via Zoom.

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.

The main features of the course:

Immerse yourself in the wisdom of the Gita through group study and individual reflection

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
