I named this blog after Kali, the Hindu goddess of time because I recognize that while some learnings happen immediately, some need time to “stew”.
As I mentioned today, there is a Sanskrit saying that we learn 25% from our teachers, 25% from our peers, 25% we figure out ourselves and 25% we learn over time. So in addition to reviewing today’s presentation, I invite you to come back and look around anytime as your studies and contemplations brew.
Today we discussed “The Language and Literature of Yoga”. Click here for a full recap.
As well, here are a few additional resources for you:
The Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit is the best introductory text I have come across and is recommended for use in the Sanskrit classes at the U of A. At the link above you will find free alphabet charts, videos, worksheets and more.
Yoga Sutras in Devanagari and Transliterated Sanskrit from the Arlington Centre is a free PDF of the full Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with the diacritical marks. I’m not saying this is the “best” translation, but I do find the format and language approachable and helpful.
In addition to PAC classes, The University of Alberta offers courses related to yoga in the departments of History, Philosophy and Religion. We have extraordinary scholars on faculty and I encourage you to explore this subject further.
Thank you for attending and sharing with me today, it was a joy to spend time with you!
