We are inspired by Ravi's lectures on the Bhagavad Gita at Krotona, particularly his talks about the collaborative effort of yoga and that yagna is necessary for yoga to happen. Yagna is usually translated as sacrifice, which Ravi says is not wrong, but incomplete. He has defined yagna a few ways, and we worked today with "willingness to recognize the involvement of subtle energies" (aka Devas). The dance of human effort and Divine Grace (Tapas Prabhava, Devas Prasada) lead our discussion, with particular emphasis on Devas Prasada.
