Lectures:

1. Lectures on the 10 Upanishads

Also called the Vedanta, the 10 Upanishads are the final chapters of the Vedas, in which the most sublime and the highest science of Spirituality has been described. They are considered to be the Divine Traditional Texts that form the backbone of Indian Mysticism and Spirituality. Though mainly concerned with Jnana Yoga (the Yoga of Wisdom and Self-realization) the Upanishads still mention Raja Yoga in various places briefly, which can be taken as the most ancient account of Raja Yoga.
The term Upanishad literally means "the Supreme Wisdom that unites the individual souls with the One Supreme Soul".

Only confined to some great traditional scholars until now, these ancient texts are now being taught in Patanjala Yoga Kendra to the Yoga Students, so that they can understand the most ancient traditional view of Yoga.

2. Lectures on the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita

This ancient text of India is one the most famous and widely translated text in today's world. This Divine Scripture beautifully describes all the different systems and thoughts of Yoga, and is in itself a beautiful synthesis of all of them. Thus it is again one of the greatest and most authoritative texts on Yoga.

The name of the text literally means, "Divine Song sung by the Lord".
Lectures are regularly conducted on the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita so that the Yoga students can be fully acquainted with all the different types of Yoga and have a comprehensive outlook of all the different classical thoughts related to Yoga.
