http://satyogainstitute.org/ Student Question: In the Bible, when they talk about Adam and Eve, is that symbolically Sat Yuga?

http://satyogainstitute.org/ Student Question: In the seminar last weekend you said that archetypes are the ones that are running history and our lives. Can you give a little more information on that?
