This afternoon, the Aadheenam's Natyam and young sadhaka took part in a special class with Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami. The subject was Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Verse by verse Satguru went through explaining and answering questions about this profound yogic text. Much of a monastic's training at Kauai Aadheenam is experiential, so a chance to sit down with their satguru for a in-depth discussion of high philosophy was a rare treat. Aum Namah Sivaya.
