“It should be thought very strange if one’s hands and feet refused to behave, or behaved in a manner which showed that their owner had no control over them. Yet that is how too often human beings allow their most delicate instrument, the mind, to behave.”

Quote for the Moment
“Abstinence is easier than temperance.”
Seneca
Yoga Sūtra Samādhi Pādaḥ – Book One
This page, and the other chapter pages, are not yet active with content.
I am still at the input stage with the many facets of this site.
Once all the migration work of collating my web sites under one roof is complete I can turn my attention to output, especially Yoga Sūtra work.
Meanwhile the work in progress can be viewed here
This process is nearing completion and a recent development is the ability to present the teachings using ‘proper’ Romanised Saṃskṛt as part of the web interface.
I feel strongly that we need to be able to appreciate how the vitality and poetry of Yoga concepts is an inherent aspect of correct pronouncing. In this instance I feel it to be more vital to correctly sound vibrationally Yoga concepts relating to states of Heart such as Duḥkha, rather than states of Body such as Uttānāsana.
Thank you for your interest and patience.
