Sri Gajendra Moksha Stotra is a story from the Srimad Bhagavat Purana. It relates the story of Gajendra (king of the
elephants) and his struggle to free himself for the deadly grip of a crocodile. More then just a story of an elephant and a
crocodile, it is about man, ego, selfishness and Maya (illusion). It is said that whoever will chant or listen to Sri Gajendra
Moksha Stotra will be endowed with success and happiness.

These workshops will show how the planetary cycles act as a timetable for the unfoldment of life lessons.
