Yogavasistha Sara Sangraha

The original Yoga Vasistha is a voluminous book that contains 32,000 verses. Represented as a conversation between Prince Rama, a questioning disciple, and Sage Vasishta, his Guru, Yoga Vasistha covers the entire philosophical thought of Sanatana Dharma.

The composition of this text is popularly attributed to Sage Valmiki, who also composed the Ramayana. The term ‘yoga’ means uniting. Here it means to unite the individual with Reality. This is the teaching of yoga, as expounded by Sage Vasistha to Sri Rama, and hence it is termed ‘Yoga Vasistha’.

This webinar covers the text ‘Yogavasishtha Sara Sangraha’, a text compiled by Swami Tejomayananda which is an abridged version of the larger text comprising 86 verses.

‘Yoga Vasistha’ is a great treasure of knowledge and stories giving solutions to questions such as ‘Who am I?’; ‘What is the nature of the world?’; ‘What is the purpose of human existence?’
