ISTAGOSTHI: Q & A

The beautiful necessity of bringing questions to the table opened the sharing in this istagosthi. Without sincere inquiry—which is more about disclosure than a quest for facts—there would be no Bhagavad-gita. Krishna would have said a few lines and that would have been the end of it. But because Arjuna—as well as Pariksit in the Bhagavatam and many others—revealed his doubts, his brokenness, his despair, not only did it allow Krishna to address our shared human predicament, but he also established that vulnerable disclosure of one’s heart—emotions and thoughts—is the currency of reciprocal revelation. Ask something that is relevant to our inner life so the teacher can have an accurate idea of where you are and know how to respond.

Tune in for balanced, sensitive, nuanced and radically personal responses to the following questions that shift the entire perspective of the question to look at our approach to life in whole new ways.

Should we avoid people from out past so we don’t get “pulled down” into past behaviors or lower energies?
What to do if we are distracted from our practice?
How to deal with doubt?
What is the best way to study scripture so that we can go beyond jnana?
