Where each thread leads
Akasha
A Sanskrit word usually translated as 'space' or 'ether' — the subtlest of the classical elements, the medium in which everything else exists.
Consciousness
The fact that there is something it is like to be you — and the long argument about what that fact is.
Dharma
A Sanskrit term with no single English equivalent — somewhere between law, duty, order, righteousness and the nature of a thing.
Sanskrit
A classical Indo-European language whose grammatical precision shaped how a vast body of philosophy could be argued.
Yoga
A family of disciplines aimed at steadying the mind — far older and far wider than the postural practice the word now names globally.
Karma
A Sanskrit word meaning 'action' that became a theory of consequence — and, in English, a rough synonym for cosmic payback it never was.
