Fantastic news, Martyn Neal is coming back to Sweden, giving a seminar on Yoga Sûtra and Bhagavad Gita.
The Yoga Sûtra and the Bhagavad Gîtâ are two major texts of the Indian continent. More or less contemporary, around the beginning of our era, their roots are steeped in the same philosophical earth. Despite this shared compost fertile to spirituality and the questioning of life’s mysteries, there are many differences. And equally numerous links. It is often the angle that each text adopts which throws a different light on similar subjects: knowledge, action, detachment, meditation, the divine, freedom…
TKV Desikachar, as a yoga teacher, based much of his teaching on Patanjali’s great work. However, he would often quote from the Gîtâ in order to enlarge understanding of the concepts which Patanjali presents in such a concise way that commentary is always necessary. On the other hand, the Bhagavad Gîtâ may be read without reference to a commentator.
As a student of Desikachar, I wish to share with you the simple, subtle and refined teaching that I have received in relation to these two magnificent texts.
Inspired by his example, I will move regularly throughout the course from lectures to physical practice and breathing. This alternating method is conducive to assimilation without indigestion. Also chanting will enable us to stretch to another level of integration through a mysterious link to the source of these great texts. Your questions will equally enhance learning together.
