A Self guided tour

The light of yoga guides you to itself.

The practices of yoga–asanas, meditation, contemplation and study, chanting…–guide us to the state of yoga–union.

The Self guides the self to itSelf to realize it is the Self.

Playing at life

“I am,” this state of being, plays at being these roles–father, mother, lawyer, accountant, man, woman–much like a child playing house.

Our ego is the mistaken identity with these roles, rather than with the universal energy that freely plays them.

I am the “I am” that plays these roles, not the roles “I am” plays. That is who I am!

Devotional practices can free us

Persistent joy does not ignore or turn away from suffering.

It illumines suffering with its love and compassion,

and loosens its snake-like coiled grip.

Devotional practices like yoga, meditation, chanting, and the study of teachings free us and those around us again and again… and again.
