In our regular Bhagavad Gita satsangs, we do not just recite verses. We break down the philosophy to address your real-world problems, from managing professional anxiety to navigating modern distractions like endless scrolling. This is about discipline, not just relaxation. The Path of Jnana is the yoga of intellect and wisdom. At AIKIA, we treat this path with the same rigour as our asana practice. We don't believe in quick fixes or superficial spirituality. ### Why Study Philosophy? Without understanding the 'why' behind the practice, yoga remains mere exercise. Our sessions involve deep dives into the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, and the Upanishads. We challenge you to apply these ancient texts to your life in Bengaluru. Whether you are dealing with work pressure, relationship dynamics, or a lack of focus, these texts offer a blueprint for equanimity. ### The AIKIA Approach We are strict about consistency. We do not do 'Instagram yoga' where posture matters more than peace of mind. Our approach is rooted in the Guru-Shishya Parampara, where we engage in real conversations. We want you to question, to debate, and to understand. - **Bhagavad Gita Satsangs:** We gather on weekends to discuss specific chapters and how they apply to the life of a modern householder. - **Modern Context:** We address the 'why'. Why do you feel anxious? Why is the mind acting as an enemy? We relate these to modern habits like overeating, oversleeping, and digital addiction. - **Application:** Philosophy is a practice, not a theory. We encourage you to take one principle, such as Satya (truthfulness) or Asteya (non-stealing), and live by it for the week. If you are looking for a place to sit, listen, and truly transform your thinking, our doors are open. This path requires surrender and effort, but the clarity you gain is worth the struggle. ## About Aikia Yogashala We are Surya and Namita. We don't teach yoga just so you can post a photo.
