***Free Course*** It's always good to get back to basics. In this free three part course I lay out the basics needed to understand Yoga's unique Ethics.
Part 1, Yoga Ethics and Western Impositions
Part 2, Yoga Ethics and South Asian Alternatives
Part 3, Yoga Ethics and Activism
When I began my research in South Asian Studies (SAS), the dominant view among people who fancied themselves scholars of South Asia was that there was no extensive or significant history of thinking critically about ethical, moral and political questions. This means, there wouldn't be any such thing as Yoga Ethics. My lonely distinction as a researcher since the 1990s has been to show that this narrative gets things upside down. Ethics or moral philosophy was the basic concern in this tradition (philosophy about dharma) and the usual gloss that denies that South Asians engaged critically in moral and practical questions is a function of Western colonialism and its anti-logical approach to everything.
