Ep. 1.07: An Overview of the Yoga Sūtras Pt. 2 - David Andrew Miliotis - Ashtanga Yoga

Greetings - Namaste - ॐ तत्सत्

In today’s Satsaṅga episode, we honor the Indian holiday, Gaṇeśa Caturthi, which occurred last Monday, 2019 August 2. We chant the Gaṇapati Atharva Śīrṣa Upaniṣat (Vol. 3, Pg. 30) and recite a verse from the Gaṇeśa Stotra (Vol. 3, Pg. 13) and learn that the spirit of Gaṇeśa is really about how we manage our own state of balance. This is the same theme highlighted in the first chapter of the Yoga Sūtras!

After chanting we quickly overview how the 4 chapters (Samādhi, Sādhana, Vibhūti & Kaivalya Pādas) of the Yoga Sūtras flow from one-to-the-next, and then dive into a quick overview translation of the first chapter (Samādhi Pāda). Understanding the over-all meaning of the Yoga Sūtras gives us the proper context for understanding each of the 195 sūtras. So last week’s (part 1) and this week’s (part 2) will hopefully prove to be interesting, valuable & useful for you. Let me know ... ॐ Tat Sat

If you would like to follow along, with the chanting & lessons in these episodes, you can purchase our textbooks, Sanskrit & Chanting, through our website: ashtangayogaorangecounty.com/books or you can always just listen … either way, please enjoy!

To follow the chanting from our books, it is much easier to use Vol. 3 which is simply a pure collection of Mantras without any extras. However, you can also use Vol. 1, but you will have to turn the pages many many more times. With that said, the opening mantras are found in Sanskrit & Chanting Vol. 3, Page 1 & 2, or Sanskrit & Chanting Vol. 1, Pages 2 - 10.
