Diving Deep into the Vrttis Symposium
On February 28, AMAYE sponsored an international virtual symposium that brought together more than 150 participants from around the globe.
The symposium also featured a diverse group of distinguished speakers:
- Dr. Richard Maxwell (USA), a clinical neuropsychologist, presented his research on the physical and psychic interactions underlying cakras and vrttis.
- Dr. Shravan Kumar served as the principal speaker at the recent Deep Dive into the Vrittis conference. His presentation explored the philological study of the vrttis as described by P.R. Sarkar.
- Ac. Premayananda Avt. (Singapore) shared insights from his observations and research with asana and meditation students through his academy.
- Rutgers Tamminga (Taiwan) discussed vrttis through the lens of modern psychology.
- Ac. Kamaleshvara (Italy) spoke about his publications and offered thoughtful reflections on vrttis.
The event concluded with an inspiring 45-minute Master Asana class led by Ac. Vishvarupananda Avt.
This symposium was made possible through donations to AMAYE. Looking ahead, AMAYE plans to launch a Vrtti Study Circle in the near future and hopes to host a Yoga for Mental Health Symposium this summer. Stay tuned for more updates.
