I was struck by Ravi's observation on the etymology of the word "religion", from the Latin "to re-connect", and how close this is to the meaning of "yoga". I think that if, in our traditional religious practices we could reconnect with this reconnection, the essence of all religion, it would be very hopeful...
Hello, Im spanish talker and sometimes i miss some words. who is the philosopher he is talking that talks about knowing and being: i hear platoinus Thank u
onon , hi there. Great question. I do not know of a way to speed up the audio.
Each day of this course opens with meditations, so if that is what feels slow to you, can skip ahead to the talk by selecting "Chapter 2". On the desktop, you'll see this to the right of the video.
If this is not what feels slow to you, and Ravi's style is not for you, perhaps's James rendition of the Bhagavad Gita is a better fit. Perhaps, you might jump in with Season 3, skipping the opening background and recitation: Season 3 of Song of Self. Thanks for being here, Kira.
Thank you Ravi for increasing my awareness of buddhi, which up to now I had only paid little attention to as found in the Sankhya map of reality, it is so much more. Also I really liked the comment that in the indian spiritual tradition there is almost never a separation made between the heart and the mind - because sanskrit texts and their interpretation can seem to lean one way or another - but with that background awareness the differences converge - amazing talk, with gratitude !
