An extended archive podcast from Professor Thurman's annual holiday message and his monthly teaching for the ongoing Kālachakra Study & Practice Group.

Robert A.F. Thurman discusses the value of end of year celebrations, compassion and the Kālachakra yoga in helping individuals of any tradition or religious background to escape the terminal lifestyle of self centered materialism.

Highlighting the common spiritual threads found in Christmas, Hanukkah, Losar & Pagan Solstice celebrations Robert Thurman discusses his upcoming program at Kripalu based upon his book “Infinite Life: Awakening to Bliss Within”, his long time New Year's tradition of teaching with Sharon Salzberg, and the place of mindfulness, emptiness and compassion in transforming one's life.

Recording includes an extended call to action and re-telling of Professor Thurman's vision of creating a space for the development and support of an Kālachakra Yoga practice community in New York City.
