Guru-Shishya Class

Recently the young monks enjoyed a two hour class with their satguru. The class is a continuation on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Satguru Bodhinatha has developed a commentary on the Yoga Sutras and is preparing another class on how Patanjali's Sutras relates to Gurudeva's writings.
"Patanjali was a Saivite Natha siddha (ca 200 BCE) who codified the ancient yoga philosophy which outlines the path to enlightenment through purification, control and transcendence of the mind. His system is one of the six classical philosophical systems (darshanas) of Hinduism and is known as Yoga Darshana. In English it is called Classical Yoga."

\"Dispassion can be recognized to have been mastered by those who have no desire for what is seen or heard about.\"

\"The non-thirsting for the gunas which arises when the purusha realizes its own nature is the supreme state of dispassion.\"

\"Samadhi is near through devotion to Ishvara.\"
