with host Rick Archer June 2nd 2021.
Stephen Cope is the Scholar Emeritus at the renowned Kripalu Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He is the author of many best-selling books on the topic of yoga and meditation.
For over thirty years, his interest has been in bringing important but esoteric yoga scriptures to the mainstream, including, most recently, the two-thousand-year-old spiritual classic called The Bhagavad Gita, or “The Song of God.” His new book on The Gita, entitled The Dharma of Difficult Times, will be released later this year.
Some of the points discussed in this conversation:
- Â Stephen’s background.
-  Dharma – “Sacred Dutyâ€, “That course of action most conducive to your spiritual development†– with particular reference to the Bhagavad Gita.
-  Indra’s net – the connection between the soul’s good and the common good.
- Â Dharmic hierarchies: individuals, families, communities, nations, planets.
- Â The evolutionary opportunities of the human realm as compared with higher realms.
-  Being honest, humble, and discreet about one’s progress on the path.
