Yoga Sūtras Samādhi Pādaḥ
This is a course that runs for 15 weeks, covering the chanting and learning key concepts of the first chapter – Samādhi pādaḥ of The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali. You may of course take longer or sooner to go through the course depending on your personal progress. Each week, we recite about 10 Sūtras, learning the correct pronunciation, with the intention to memorise the Sūtras. Vocabulary and the main points from the traditional commentaries of Vyāsa, Vijñānabhikṣu, Hariharānanda and others are succinctly discussed.
