Lesson 1- The Nature

Planet earth is a wonderful creation with countless varieties of living creatures and non-living objects. In this lesson we learn about the creation and the creator. We will understand the material nature and three modes of material energy. We will distinguish the characteristics of human beings under the influence of different material energies.

Lesson 2: The Body

Human body is driven by energy and the energy is generated by food. Different kinds of foods produce different types of material energy namely Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. In this lesson we understand the influence of material energies on human body. We learn the ways to deal with the body for gaining balance in life.

Lesson 3: The Mind

The mind has no physical shape yet it controls most of our actions. In this lesson we discuss the characteristics of a human mind and its functioning. The mind when put under self-control behaves like a friend otherwise like an enemy. We explore the factors influencing mind and ways of controlling them.

Lesson 4: Sense Objects

Objects that attract senses are called the sense objects. Brain identifies such objects and Mind experiences joy or pain from them. In this lesson we discuss the composition of the material nature and categories of people engaging with it. We understand the influence of material nature and material energy on human actions.


Lesson 5: Sense Control

One of the ways to deal with senses is to control them and reasonably enjoy the material nature. One who controls senses can gain stability in life. In this lesson we discuss the ways of sense control and its effect on human life. We explore the characteristics of “SthitaPragna” in other words the stable conscious.


Lesson 6: Sense Gratification

The irrational way of dealing with senses and enjoying material nature with no limits and conditions is called sense gratification. One who fails to control senses will lose stability in life. In this lesson we discuss the consequences of sense gratification and its effect on human life. We explore ways to overcome the influence of material nature and gain eternal peace.
