AÂ Vedic Psychology Clinical Case Study Group

Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM (Russia Time)
Four Sessions Monthly | Start Date: Thursday, April 9
A Gathering Within the Bhakti Marga Community
for Bhakti Marga Russian Psychologists
Â
By the grace of Gurudev, Swami Paramahamsa Vishwananda—who invited Dr. Joshi to offer a lecture on seva during the Holi pilgrimage—and whose blessings have been the inspiration for this entire training—a unique opportunity has arisen for psychologists within the Bhakti Marga community.
Inspired by this, Bhakti Marga psychologists—exclusively those within the Russian community—are warmly invited to come together in Chitta Charcha for deeper shared exploration of the mind.
How it WorksÂ
You bring your most challenging client cases, and Dr. Joshi examines them through the lens of Vedic Psychology.
Step 1:
Present Your Case
Bring a real client case you are currently working with. Share with the group:
- what you’ve tried
- what has worked
- what hasn’t
- where you feel stuck
Step 2:
Learn the Vedic Psychology View
Listen as Dr. Joshi asks targeted questions and offers a Vedic Psychology analysis to uncover the deeper forces shaping the case—with the usual culprits being those sneaky samskaras and the allmighty ahankara (ego identity).
Step 3:
Discuss and Deepen Insight
Engage in group discussion. Share your clinical persepectives. Ask Dr. Joshi questions. Walk away with a deeper understanding of the root cause of the problem and how to apply your new insights to uplift your clients.
An Auspicious Beginning
Â
Our first gathering begins on an especially sacred day:
Thursday, April 9
Ganesha Chaturthi
This day is dedicated to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the giver of wisdom.
Beginning Chitta Charcha on this auspicious day symbolizes our shared intention to remove obstacles in understanding the human mind and deepen our insight as clinicians.
