Virtual Satsang with Dr. Benjamin Major and Joanna Bertzeletos of Yoga Nature Sheffield 💖

The Sanskrit word tattva (pronounced more like “tattwa”) literally means “thatness”, and one could also define the tattvas as “principles of reality”. The tattva schema first appears in Sāṃkhya, one of the earliest known systems of Indian philosophy. In Sāṃkhya, just 25 tattvas were articulated. The schema was reworked by the later Śaiva Tantrikas, who added eleven more levels of reality on top, which it claimed Sāṃkhya had failed to discover. The tattvas are central to Tantrik philosophy and cosmology. You can see them as a kind of map of the conscious being’s experience of reality. It is this Tantrik system of tattvas that we will be exploring in this session, from earth upwards.

In addition to the talk and discussion there will also be meditation and kirtan.
