Yoga Vāsiṣṭha
Yoga Vāsiṣṭha
The Yoga Vāsiṣṭha presents the sage Vasiṣṭha's teaching to the young prince Rāma, who has fallen into deep dispassion about the world. Traditionally attributed to Vālmīki, it unfolds across six books, from Rāma's despair through the nature of mind and creation to final liberation. Its hallmark is teaching through vivid stories, used to show that the world as experienced is shaped by the mind. This four-volume course offers a patient journey through one of the most imaginative works of Indian philosophy.
