OSHER 94 - Gifts from India: Spiritual Transformations

Our modern, fast paced, materialistic life style is leading many people to seek a deeper meaning in our lives. India has an ancient and vibrant spiritual tradition. From its inception, Indian Hindu spiritual seekers explored how to realize their divinity. Through inner expiration and practice, they discovered that different practices to inner peace all lead to the Divine and Self-Realization. We will examine the philosophy and practice of four approaches to spiritual development. Each approach is based on the understanding that people have different personalities and are drawn to different practices. They include devotion, thinking, action and mediation. Our class will be interactive, experiential, practical and fun.
