Brought to You by Senior Students of Lama Marut
The CLASSICAL TEXTS AND AUTHENTIC PRACTICES OF EASTERN SPIRITUALITY curriculum offers a progressively unfolding, comprehensive course of study in the wisdom and practical application of Eastern spirituality as it pertains to modern life.
The curriculum as a whole is comprised of twelve courses to be taught over two years. When taken together, these stand-alone courses constitute an extensive course of study in the classical scriptures and principal practices of Eastern spirituality.
Based on Lama Marut’s original translations and relevant, applicable interpretations of the Sanskrit classics of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Yogic traditions, each course consists of six weekly two-hour interactive online classes, including lecture, discussion, and guided meditation portions.
These courses cover a wide range of teachings and practices from an inclusive, comparative, and non-sectarian point of view. They are designed to provide an in-depth, systematic, and coherent foundation and overall framework for any serious spiritual practitioner.

Busyness and stress are the enemies of the calm and relaxed state of mind that both a proper spiritual practice and happiness in general require. This course is designed to help us create more peace in our lives even while we are engaged in necessary action and the fulfillment of our responsibilities in relation to our friends, family, and community.
Topics include: “Why We Are So Busy,” “Doing What Needs to Be Done,” “Getting Organized,” “Keeping Your Priorities Straight,” “Knowing When to Act and When to Relax,” “Mindful Action and Mindful Non-Action,” “Living a Retreat Lifestyle,” “Acting Without Expectation,” and “Work as Play, Life as Art.”
Benefits of the Course:
- Identify the areas of excessive busyness that damage your spiritual life
- Take control of the addiction to external stimuli
- Learn methods for how to remain active without stress

Based on selections from the Bhagavad Gita, Ashtavakra Gita, Shantideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, and Svatmarama’s Hatha Yoga Pradipika
