Join renowned storyteller, COMEDIAN and Vedanta scholar Manoj Chalam for a captivating journey into the heart of Yogic symbolism, where ancient deities become living archetypes and gateways to self-realization.
In this immersive talk, Manoj uses sacred statues (Murtis) of Hindu and Buddhist deities—like Ganesh, Lakshmi, Shiva, Buddha, and Tara—to illuminate the path of enlightenment. Through myth, humor, and deep insight, he reveals how these divine forms represent aspects of our own psyche and spiritual evolution.
Expect to explore:
  •  The difference between form and formless in Yogic and Vedantic philosophy
  •  How to discover your Isthadevata—your personal deity archetype
  •  Five practical ways to work with deity archetypes for spiritual growth
  •  A blend of science, psychotherapy, and mythology to make ancient wisdom accessible
Whether you're a seeker, a yogi, or simply curious about the deeper meaning behind sacred symbols, this talk offers profound tools for awakening, healing, and connecting with the divine within.
Come with an open heart. Leave with a deeper understanding of your Self.
