Sir Darius the Clairvoyent Posted January 10 I have read the bagavad gita as well someeee of the vedic texts. Isha upanishad in particular was the most enlightenting text i have every read (highly reccomend, only 18 verses). So, since my experience so far has les to a lot of growth, i feel, what would my fellow bums advice for an even greater understanding? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Darius the Clairvoyent Posted January 10 1 hour ago, oak said: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. I asked ChatGPT about this book, and it sounds promising. Yoga means unity, no? In the answer i got from god/ai, it seems like thiw book is mostly theoratical. Is that the case, and any thoughts on yoga (as the excersize we westerners now it as), mantras, meditations etc?

Sahaja Posted January 16 I like Jnanadeva or Jnanashwara the 13th century Marathi poet. He has two main works, one a commentary on the Bhadavad Gita (on religion) and one his own view of spirituality he wrote for his guru called Amritanubhava. https://ia800303.us.archive.org/27/items/Sri.Jnandevas.Bhvartha.Dipika-Jnaneswari/Sri.Jnandevas.Bhvartha.Dipika-Jnaneswari_text.pdf https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.4625/page/n61/mode/2up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
