The lecture “Emotions, Desire, and Sexuality in Classical Yoga” works to identify misconceptions and debunk myths around human sexuality in the yogic texts. Starting with an analysis of sexuality in a cultural context throughout Indian history and Western influences on texts, the speaker leads us through extensive discussion on the imaginary asexuality in Buddhism and the greek influence, on desire and sexuality in the axial age, sexual metaphors in the Indian tradition, sexual practices in hatha yoga and much more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\n Vegetarianism - some misconceptions on its traditional Indian roots\n \n <\/h3>\n
\n In this lecture Dmitry Danilov, Ph.D., a founder of Yogis Without Border is talking about some fundamental misconceptions on the traditional Indian roots of vegetarianism.\nDown below are examples of the misconceptions and its demystification:\n\u2043 \u201cVedic culture\u201d tells us to avoid animal food. (No, actually not)\nOn the opposite, there are a lot of examples of meat-eating that one can find in Vedas. For instance, there is a hymn on a wedding ritual in Rigveda where it says that there should be the preparation of bullocks done. The other example comes from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad hymn, where the instructions on eating the meat of a vigorous bull were given to a couple wishing to give birth to a reputed scholar. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2043 The authentic pre-Arian tribes didn\u2019t eat meat. (No, not at all)<\/p>

Archeological findings show the opposite. There were many examples of the bones and instruments for hunting and fishing were found, Dravidian people were fishermen and hunters.<\/p>

\u2043 Ahimsa: Buddha and Mahavira were vegetarian. (No, actually not)<\/p>

The understanding of Ahimsa nowadays is not exactly the same as when it was found. It\u2019s not understood as vegetarianism but rather a non-killing concept. For instance, from the Vyasa commentary, we know that there is no aggression around the person who follows the ahimsa principle. There are two stories that come from the Buddhist canon about Buddha and examples of him eating meat, even though he was practicing Ahimsa. One of them says that Buddha announced to his monks that they are allowed to eat meat unless it was especially killed for them.<\/p>

\u2043 Ayurveda teaches to abstain from the consumption of meat. (No, absolutely not)<\/p>

There are a lot of examples of prescriptions on how to get better with meat recipes in the basic Ayurveda text, such as Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita. For instance soup with beef juice, with marshy animal juice, the meat of wild animals and birds, etc.<\/p>

\u2043 India is a vegetarian country. (Not exactly)<\/p>

Dmitriy gives examples of different statistics where one can clearly see that there are more meat eaters in India than vegetarians.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\n Yogic Resilience Tools to Master the Crisis\n \n <\/h3>\n
\n In this lecture, Diana Gladka, the yoga instructor of Yogis Without Borders and Ukrainian Federation of Yoga is talking about the tools in Yoga that serve to develop resilience and master the crisis. She defines resilience as an ability to stay constructive and proactive, to keep doing what needs to be done. Diana introduces the notion of \u201creframing\u201d based on the fact that people\u2019s point of view depends on the frame it is viewed.\nWe\u2019ve highlighted the bullet points of this talk: <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2043 \u201cReframing\u201d causes the shift in meaning, in thinking, and finally in behavior. However not any conscious mental shift should be considered as the one. Reframing should have a constructive connotation, empower, and show the way out.<\/p>

\u2043 The notion of reframing is widely used today, however not many people know that the technique itself, the understanding of the importance of intellectual and cognitive practices is a huge part of the tradition of Yoga.\u00a0 Whereas the very first definition of yoga is from Katha Yoga Upanishad (3.5 c. BC) – Yoga is a steady control of the senses.<\/p>

\u2043 The knowledge (jnana) transforms us inside out – if you have comprehended something you can\u2019t forget it, or get emotional about it.<\/p>

\u2043 Cognitive practices in yoga directly impact the foundation of our personality- beliefs and world view, which in turn determines our emotions and actions. Examples of cognitive practices in Yoga: Vitarka (intellectually looking at a certain situation through a certain position or perspective; Vichara (intellectually looking at the same situation through opposite perspectives; Bhavana – something we have experienced or lived through, ability to play with your emotions – \u201cactualize something\u201d to reach a particular state.<\/p>

\u2043 From Stoicism. The district I\u2019ve emotion quite often result from the errors of judgment. People should aim to maintain a will that is \u201cin accordance with nature\u201d. Stoic meditations: Testing frame: setback=test of our character; Storytelling frame: how do you want to see yourself dealing with this situation after years to come?; Last time meditation: What if I don\u2019t see them again?; Negative visualization: imagining the worst-case scenario.<\/p>
