Yoga: Path to Stillness & Samadhi
This blog explores the sutra "yoga? citta v?tti nirodha?," defining yoga as the cessation of mental fluctuations to achieve samadhi. It emphasizes quieting the mind to reveal the true Self and experience bliss.
This essay aims to explore the meaning of yoga by delving into the essence of the sūtra: yoga? citta v?tti nirodha? (YS 1.2). By examining the key terms within this sutra- yoga, citta, v?tti, and nirodha, we will gain a deeper understanding of the foundational concepts that reveal the profound significance of yoga as a practice. This exploration will highlight the essential goal of yoga: to still the fluctuations of the mind to experience the bliss of samādhi.
Program Spotlight
Doctor of Hindu Studies (DHS)
The Doctoral Program in Hindu Studies builds upon a solid foundation in Hinduism, advancing students into the realm of contemporary application and practice. When a student articulates the relevance of Hindu thought and practice to the specific challenges faced by the Hindu community and by contemporary humanity and is empowered to create innovative approaches centered on Hindu thought to address them, this constitutes mastery. This enables students to move beyond the conceptual limitations of Orientalist and Indological scholarship which frames Hinduism as a relic of the past, and engage creatively with our shared, globally integrated future with confidence and clarity. Students must take 20 courses across five areas: Research Methods, Core Hindu Studies, Intersectional Studies, Specialization, and Doctoral Studies. Please see Structure of Program for a detailed description of the distribution of courses.
