I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali held on Saturday, 11/21/20.
Sutras covered:
- Sutra 2.41: sattva-śuddhiḥ saumanasya-ikāgry-endriyajaya-ātmadarśana yogyatvāni ca ॥41॥
Moreover, one gains purity of sattva (intellect), cheerfulness of mind, one-pointedness, mastery over the senses, and fitness for Self-realization.
- Sutra 2.42: saṁtoṣāt-anuttamas-sukhalābhaḥ ॥42॥
By contentment, supreme joy is gained.
- Sutra 2.43: kāyendriya-siddhir-aśuddhi-kṣayāt tapasaḥ ॥43॥
By austerity, impurities of body and senses are destroyed and occult powers gained.
- Sutra 2.44: svādhyāyād-iṣṭa-devatā saṁprayogaḥ ॥44॥
By study of spiritual books comes communion with one’s chosen deity.
