Samkhya Karika

The Framework and Foundation of Yoga

   Watch Preview

Samkhya, among the most ancient Vedic darshanas, is detailed in the essential text, Samkhya Karika, authored by the sage Isvara Krishna. Yoga and Samkhya are closely related. The Yoga Sutra is an expansion of Samkhya, and Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita that one must view Samkhya and Yoga as one. Samkhya provides the framework and fundamental theory of how to reach the ultimate transcendental state that yoga points us toward. Yoga expands on the practices.

The Samkhya Karika offers deep insight for serious yoga practitioners and is essential reading for yoga teachers.

In this course, A.G. Mohan and Dr. Ganesh Mohan will guide you through the dense Samkhya Karika- verse by verse. You will follow the text, contemplate the philosophy, and understand the framework of Samkhya thoroughly. This course is an opportunity to learn this essential text and system directly from authoritative traditional sources with confidence and clarity.
