I will be giving a talk at the Rudolph Steiner House for the Astrological Lodge on Monday 4th March at 7pm. See the website for details.
I will be exploring two topics close to my heart: Astrology and Yoga: I am calling it Salutation to the Stars. But what would such a yoga sequence even look like? Are you an astrologer? Are you a yogi/yogini? If so do you practise both together? How can that be done effectively? This is what is now called Yogastrology.
Have you ever wondered how Astrology overlaps with Yoga in so many interesting ways? Does each practice have the same goals? What are the parallels and what are the differences? How does yoga interact with Ayurveda as well, along with Astrology? Are they completely different, or do they share any core beliefs or practices or are they three sister sciences dancing together? I hope to answer all these questions.
Mostly I want to analyse the charts of some of the central figures emerging out of India: Sri Yukteswar, Swami Vivekananda, Yogananda Paramhamsa, Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamacharya, BKS Iyengar, Patthabi Jois, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sir Bhagwan Rajneesh and of course Bikram Choudury.
I want to ask what set these guys apart from others? How did they become yogis? They set out on a mission to bring yoga to the West and we have to wonder, were they successful? Did they complete their intentions? Is there something in their charts that indicates that? Most people would say yes since both yoga and astrology are on the rise What is in their charts that would indicate they would be successful?
So what are the key drivers and aspects of their charts? I will explore these leading players setting their incredible stories in a historical context and picking out key signatures in their charts including asteroids and astrocartography.
Not to forget the role of women in yoga too although this could probably be a whole other talk in its own right to do it justice. There may not be time. But I will take a brief glance at the astrology of some of the key female yogis too:. Blanche de Vries, Indra Devi, Ida Rolf, Tao Porchon-Lynch and Guru Jagat.
There are other key players too in the sidelines such as Alan Bennett, Aleister Crowley, Sr Ramakrishna, Pierre Bernard and Theos Bernard .They were all key influencers on the growth of yoga.
All that in just one hour will certainly be a challenge. The session begins at 7pm so hope to see you there.

Tag your Yogi's & Yogini's ಯೋಗವು ಪುರಾತನ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯವಾಗಿದ್ದು ಅದನ್ನು ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರಿಂದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ 'ಗುರು ಶಿಷ್ಯ ಪರಂಪರೆ' ಎಂದು ರವಾನಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಮೌಖಿಕ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು, ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿಷ್ಯರು ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರ ಸುಳಿವುಗಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿಕೊಂಡು ಅವರಿಂದ ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. Yoga is an ancient tradition that was passed down from teachers to students as the ‘guru shishya parampara’. It was an oral tradition in which disciples picked up on the teacher’s cues and learned from them. . . 👆👆👆@generalknowledgeinkannada ನಮ್ಮ ಪೇಜ್ ಅನ್ನು Follow ಮಾಡಿ. ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ YOUTUBE CHANNEL ಅನ್ನು SUBSCRIBE ಮಾಡಿ .
