I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali held on Saturday, 6/19/21.

Brief summary of the sutras we covered:

  • Sutra 1.19: bhava-pratyayo videha-prakr̥ti-layānām ॥19॥
    Those who merely leave their bodies and attain the state of celestial deities, or those who get merged in nature, have rebirth. 
  • Sutra 1.20: śraddhā-vīrya-smr̥ti samādhi-prajñā-pūrvaka itareṣām ॥20॥
    To the others, this Asamprajnata Samadhi could come through faith, strength, memory, contemplation of by discernment.
  • Sutra 1.21: tīvra-saṁvegānām-āsannaḥ ॥21॥
    To the keen and intent practitioner this [Samadhi] comes very quickly.
  • Sutra 1.22: mr̥du-madhya-adhimātratvāt-tato’pi viśeṣaḥ ॥22॥
    The time necessary for success further depends on whether the practice is mild medium or intense.
