How does karma work? What is yoga? What is the nature of bhakti? What does it mean to surrender to our destiny? Is there free will?

All of these existential questions are truly important on our seeking and spiritual journeys. Dr. Edwin Bryant, the yoga master, bestselling author and professor at Rutgers University guides us through them all.

Dr. Bryant is the author of bestselling books like The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Bhakti Yoga. If you've ever been to a yoga studio, I am sure you will find a the copy of his translation and analysis of the scriptures and ancient texts. His deep research and ability to honor the scholarly traditions of ancient India are honorable. He has taught Hindu Philosophy at Harvard University, and teaches Hinduism, Yoga Philosophy and Krishna Bhakti at Rutgers University - New Brunswick, NJ.

We dive into the depths of his spiritual journey and how he believes God helped him land in the land of Krishna. He talks about developing deep bhakti or devotion to God, and an analysis of yoga and Hinduism.

Because Dr. Bryant is filled with SO MUCH knowledge, we had to split his episode into 2 parts. The first half we are easing into DISCOVERING devotion. Next week, we will dive into it with him.

To start off, let's understand the heart of a Bhakti Yogi and his philosophy of NOW. Join us as we listen, meditate and learn TOGETHER.
