The Bhagavad Gita
Instructor:
(the anchor, and one of the strongest single courses in the whole Sanctuary. Arjuna collapsing on the battlefield between two armies of his own kin is literally a man frozen between polarized parts, with Krishna as Self-energy in the chariot beside him. The text does your integration work for you.)

The Upanishads
Instructor:
(the source texts for Atman, tat tvam asi, the Self behind the mind; contemplative, quotable, perfect lesson structure)

Brahman, Atman, and the Self
Instructor:
(keep, and treat it as the flagship concept course of the entire Sanctuary — this is the course where a student realizes every path has been pointing at the same inner room. The naming collision with IFS's Self isn't a problem, it's the whole point.)

The Four Yogas
Instructor:
(karma, bhakti, jnana, raja — four temperamental paths to the divine, which doubles beautifully as "different parts need different doors." Popular, structured, practical.)

The Ramayana
Instructor:
(your narrative slot; Rama's exile, Sita's abduction, Hanuman's devotion. Hanuman alone — boundless capacity forgotten until someone reminds him — is one of the great parts metaphors in world literature.)

The Major Hindu Deities
Instructor:
(highest raw-curiosity traffic on this shelf; Westerners are fascinated by Ganesha, Kali, Shiva, Lakshmi. And archetypal deity energies map naturally onto inner landscape work — Kali as the fierce protector, Ganesha as the part that clears or guards thresholds — as long as you keep it reverent rather than reducing gods to psychology. Handle with care, but keep it.)

Bhakti: The Path of Devotion
Instructor:
(keep; devotion is the emotional heart of lived Hinduism, and surrender through love is a distinct trailhead — the parts that can't receive love, the parts that find devotion embarrassing, the exiles that never got to adore anything safely)

The Gita Journey — 18 days.
Instructor:
Eighteen chapters, eighteen days, walking Arjuna's arc from collapse to clarity. Each day the student finds their own battlefield: the place where two parts they love are at war and they've frozen. Krishna's counsel becomes the daily model of Self-led presence. This is the premium flagship of the path.

The Neti Neti Journey — 7 days.
Instructor:
Built on the Upanishadic practice of "not this, not this": I am not my thoughts, not my roles, not my fear. In parts language, this is unblending, taught by sages 2,800 years before IFS named it. Each day the student meets one layer, thanks it, and steps back from it. Short, profound, and the purest IFS-tradition fusion you'll ever get to write. My bet for best-seller here.

The Hanuman Journey — 10 days.
Instructor:
Devotion, service, and forgotten power. Hanuman doesn't remember he can leap the ocean until Jambavan reminds him, and the journey works one forgotten capacity at a time: what parts made you forget your strength, and what were they protecting you from? Warmth and courage rather than contemplation, which gives this path an accessible entry-price journey.
