Our Living Tradition is sustained by “Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.” Join Arpit Davé in a brief exploration of the Sanatana Dharma tradition, known more commonly as “Hinduism.” We will seek modern truths in the ancient practice of The Four Yogas and, just maybe, discover the Yogi living within us all.
