From 11th to 15th December 2017, Swami Niranjanananda gave a series of satsangs during the Yoga Chakra program held at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth. The program was part of the ongoing process to develop the next chapter of yoga where the focus is on connecting with yoga vidya, the essence of yogic knowledge, and exploring the deeper dimensions of yoga.

The theme of the satsangs was raja yoga and bhakti yoga, two of the spokes of the six-spoked yoga chakra, the wheel of yoga. Swamiji explained how raja yoga and bhakti yoga complement each other in the yoga chakra and should not be perceived as stand-alone systems. He took the participants on a parallel journey in both yogas so they were able to truly experience the process of creating harmony between mind and emotions.

Swamiji clarified many misconceptions on the subject and encouraged the participants to develop their own understanding and experience so they may become emissaries of this knowledge and of the 2nd Chapter of yoga which is unfolding before us.
