Solar Yoga Book Club
The Solar Yoga Book Club is a chance for us to take the journey we start on our mats – towards awareness, openness, and growth – and continue it in our daily lives. Every two months a new book will be selected, and there will be an optional meeting for anyone who would like to discuss the book with other community members. Tea and cookies provided.
Next meeting: To be determined.
What we are reading now:
Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment
by Deepok Chopra
"Best selling author Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to life in this gripping novel of the young prince who abandoned his inheritance to discover his true calling. This iconic journey changed the world forever, and the truths revealed continue to influence every corner of the globe today.
A young man in line for the throne is trapped in his father's kingdom and yearns for the outside world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Siddhartha abandons his palace and princely titles. Alone and face-to-face with his demons, he becomes a wandering monk and embarks on a spiritual fast that carries him to the brink of death. Ultimately recognizing his inability to conquer his body and mind by sheer will, Siddhartha transcends his physical pain and achieves enlightenment.
Although we recognize Buddha today as an icon of peace and serenity, his life story was a tumultuous and spellbinding affair filled with love and sex, murder and loss, struggle and surrender.
From the rocky terrain of the material world to the summit of the spiritual one, Buddha captivates and inspires -- ultimately leading us closer to understanding the true nature of life and ourselves."
