  Episode 63: Sanatana Dharma Is Meant for Every Being – Prashant Iyengar

  Sep 28, 202644 minS5

  Send us Fan Mail Today's episode with Prashant Iyengar is one of my favorites. If you're a regular listener to my conversations with Prashant, you'll notice that I often begin by posing a topic or question in a rather mundane way—one might even say with a somewhat unintelligent delivery—and Prashantji responds with something profound and extraordinarily insightful. His wisdom and ability to expound upon the subject of Yog never cease to amaze me. In this episode, Prashant examines the meaning of Sanatana Dharma and its relevance in the modern world. Drawing on the wisdom rooted in the traditions of India, he explains why Dharma is not merely a system of beliefs or practices, but a universal principle meant for all beings. If today's conversation sparked a question, I'd like to invite you to a special live On the Light event with Prashant Iyengar on October 18. If you have questions from this episode—or from any of Prashant's previous appearances on the podcast—you'll have the opportunity to ask them during this exclusive live event. As a token of appreciation, the event is free for all paid monthly subscribers of the podcast. Don’t worry … Registration is also open to non-subscribers.

  Episode 61: When You Are Teaching You Are Creating Impressions – Prashant Iyengar

  Sep 7, 20261h 4mS5

  Send us Fan Mail This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone who teaches yoga, and for any practitioner of yoga as well. In this thought-provoking conversation, Prashant Iyengar reminds us that teaching is about far more than conveying techniques, postures, or information. Every interaction with a student leaves an impression, and with that comes a profound responsibility. As teachers, we are not only transmitting methods; we are shaping how students understand and relate to yoga itself. Prashantji speaks about the importance of Shastra as a living tradition of wisdom, one that has been handed down through generations and must be approached with humility, respect, and ongoing study. He also emphasizes that students are not objects to be instructed, but human beings to be guided with love, care, and sensitivity. This conversation challenges us to reflect deeply on what it means to teach, what it means to learn, and how we can honor the tradition while serving the students who come to us.
