About Ravi Ravindra, PhD
We can't say enough about how much we adore Ravi Ravindra. When he speaks, we swoon. He is brilliant, with doctorates in Physics, Philosophy, and Religion. And he is a Yogi. He speaks from his heart with such tenderness and genuine wonderment, you feel a part of the Oral Tradition. We have cleared our calenders to be with him. We suggest you do the same.
More formally, Ravi is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he was Professor and Chair of Comparative Religion and Adjunct Professor of Physics. He is recipient of several awards and research grants and author of more than 100 papers in physics, philosophy, and religion. The latest of his many books is The Wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Explorations in the Rig Veda: A Three Week Immersion
Dates: April 10 to 13, 17 to 20, 24 to 26*
Tuesday thru Friday: 10 to Noon
This three-week course will explore some of the most significant sections of the Rig Veda, the oldest text in any Indo-European language and the most authoritative scripture in the Hindu tradition. Among the sections to be studied are those dealing with the origins of the cosmos, the natural order (rita), sacrifice (yajña) and the sacred Gayatri mantra. In our exploration of the sections dealing with cosmogenesis, particular attention will be given to the Purusha Sukta and the Nasadiya Sukta. The latter is quoted extensively by HP Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine before the Stanzas of Dzyan. Any translation of the Rig Veda will do. No previous experience with the text necessary.
*Please note that the last week ends on a Thursday.
Cost:
Series $95, Week $35, Single session $10.
Churning the Milky Ocean: A Weekend Workshop
Dates: April 13 - 15
Friday 7:30 to 9, Saturday 10 to Noon, 2 to 4, Sunday 10 to Noon
In this weekend workshop we will explore the meaning and implications of the ancient Indian myth of the churning of the milky ocean. This myth is to be found in the Rig Veda as well as in the Mahabharata. It is presented in many great works of art and architecture in India as well as in some neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Cambodia. We will show slides of some of these works and bring practical exercises to help us search for the inner meaning of the myth as it applies to the depths of our consciousness.
Cost:
Weekend $35, Single session $10.
