You will learn and engage in Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breath regulation), reflective drawing, introspection, and contemplative conversations. These practices help explore your Svabhava (true nature), Svatantrata (inner freedom), and Svadharma (life purpose) through a long-term lens.
By cultivating a long view, you gain perspective beyond immediate challenges, leading to steadiness and clarity in your decisions and actions.
Create space in your week for movement, reflection, and dialogue. Observe patterns over time and engage in regular practices that support long-term self-awareness.
Raghu Ananthanarayanan is a visionary practitioner who bridges traditional Indian wisdom with contemporary challenges. Mentored by masters like Krishnamacharya, Desikachar, and J. Krishnamurti, he developed Citta Vidya—a path of inner transformation rooted in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Through practices like Antaranga Yoga and Mahabharata Immersion, Raghu integrates movement, theatre, drawing, and introspection to explore one’s true nature (svabhava), freedom (svatantrata), and purpose (svadharma). His impact spans individual growth, organizational transformation, and social development, including craft revival and governance reform. His pioneering leadership frameworks and seven published books reflect a lifelong commitment to applying Indic knowledge in meaningful, contemporary ways.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is an ancient and foundational text that outlines the philosophy and practices of yoga. It consists of 196 short aphorisms (sutras) written by the sage Patanjali, believed to have been compiled around 2,000 years ago.
Yoga Sutras say practicing yoga, especially meditation, brings self-awareness and helps us understand our true nature, leading to inner peace.
