Show Notes
I remember having read somewhere - perhaps in Yoga Journal - that around 70% or so people who pick up BhagavadGita cannot go past the first chapter! And BhagavadGita has 18 chapters! In fact, as I teach Sanskrit and Yoga Philosophy to audiences across the world, I hear - more often than not - from my students and audiences that Yogic texts such as BhagavadGita and Yoga Sutras can be very confusing…especially to western Yoga practitioners. I thought...hmmmm…that sounds interesting! Let me address this. So, in this episode, let us talk about why yogic scriptures can be confusing and what is the secret to understanding them.
