With Veronica Thai on Curious Monki Podcast

In Part One of this two-part interview, Hari-kirtana das speaks with Veronica about how the ancient texts of yoga like the Yoga-sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad-gita are essentially handbooks to enlightenment and a life full of bliss and joy. The only problem is that they’re kind of hard to understand and it can be confusing which text to tackle first.

The Values of Bhakti Yoga (Vaisnava Values)

Unlike yoga systems that encourage absolute renunciation of the world, Bhakti-yoga considers engagement with the world to be an essential component of our personal spiritual development. This is why, in the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna encourages Arjuna to engage with his enemies rather than leave the battlefield. In this talk, Hari-kirtana das describes six principal values of Bhakti-yoga and demonstrate how we can translate these values into clearly defined strategies for spiritually uplifting social engagement.
