Since 1893, a stately parade of swamis, gurus, and yoga masters have journeyed from India to grace the shores of the United States. They have irrevocably changed the spiritual landscape. Regardless of our own path or tradition, we’ve all been influenced by them to one degree or another, often in ways we’re not even aware of. Now, in this e-course, we turn to six legendary teachers to dramatically enhance our spiritual growth.

With the help of audio and video recordings, the course dives deeply into the fascinating lives and groundbreaking teachings of six masterful teachers:

  • Swami Vivekananda
  • Paramahansa Yogananda
  • Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
  • A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (aka Srila Prabhupada)
  • Swami Satchidananda
  • Swami Muktananda

Two lessons are devoted to each teacher.

Strictly speaking, they were all Hindu monks. But what they taught was universal. It was applicable to the lives of Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others affiliated with one of the world religions, and also to atheists, humanists, and secularists. They had in common an emphasis on direct experience, personal transformation, and the practical application of eternal spiritual principles. But they were shaped by different times, places, and spiritual lineages, and they each emphasized particular aspects of the diverse streams of Indian philosophy and yogic methods. As a result, this course covers a broad range of essential ideas and practical teachings for the benefit of our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls.

We invite you to gain deep insight into the core discoveries of India’s sages through this e-course delivered by emails on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It includes 12 sessions. You will:

  • Learn about the historic impact of Indian spirituality on the West;
  • Acquire powerful techniques and crucial action steps to accelerate progress on your spiritual journey;
  • Apply the four yoga pathways to form a holistic approach to spiritual development;
  • Discover new meditation techniques, breathing practices, and devotional chants from the yogic tradition;
  • Explore little-known teachings that are both fascinating and useful, such as kundalini science and tantra;
  • Be invited to journal about what you are learning.
