Bodhinatha's Maha Sivaratri Talk

February 17, 2010

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jby8ckVzFPQ

Once a profound relationship is developed with Lord Muruga, then with the guru's permission and guidance, true yoga may commence. Otherwise, no matter how long one sits in meditation, no matter how hard one tries, it is just sitting, it is just trying.

– Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
