Beskrivelse
Kaivalya Gayatri, The Yoga of Detached Awareness is a thread of teachings, told through the guru-disciple relationship of Rishi/Sage Vishwamithra and his student, Ashty Hozan. The story describes the aspiring student's frustration at routines and reactions followed by his emergence into disciplined choices and a sense of meaning. Through a course of weekly Gayatri mantra lessons they explore Ashty's moments of clarity, confusion and crisis as necessary steps toward "kaivalya" which is radical freedom based in detachment. The teacher offers discourses with practical applications in the context of Kriya Yoga, logical analysis, awareness training, and devotional practice. Vishwamithra presents these as necessary ways of "becoming human." The human must willingly practice those disciplines that can assure harmonious existence within a world of creatures guided by instinct. The guru and disciple demonstrate the challenges of urban society as opportunities to become free beings, aware and purposeful, even while experiencing difficulty. The reader will discover the Sanskrit Gayatri mantra line by line, with word by word interpretations and explanations. Vishwamithra draws associations with human personality and its distortions, yogic disciplines, and the way toward clarity in relationships along a journey of transformation.
