Contemplate Life with Yoga: The Radiance Sutras

10-week series on the Radiance Sutras

Wednesdays @ 8 am

March 29 - July 26 

Vijñana-bhairava-tantra "Radiance Sutras" is a Kaishmir Saivism text that is a conversation between Bhairava (aspect of Shiva) and Bhairavi (goddess) and the revealing of 112 dharana practices as a way of arriving to the doorway of wisdom and clarity. 

We will use the book "The Radiance Sutras" by Lorin Roche and explore specific sutras. In the back of the book are essays on ideas that emerge in the 112 Dharana practices. We have selected the following concepts.
