Farewell... For Now

Ātmā tvaṃ Girijā matiḥ sahacarāḥ prāṇāḥ śarīraṃ gṛham
Pūjā te viṣayopabhoga-racanā nidrā samādhi-sthitiḥ
Sañcāraḥ padayoḥ pradakṣiṇa-vidhiḥ stotrāṇi sarvā giraḥ
Yad-yat karma karomi tat-tad-akhilaṁ Śambho tavārādhanam
Jaya jaya Karuṇābdhe Śrī Mahādeva Śambho!

The path of classical Yoga is a time-tested methodology for understanding, and working with, one's mind so that the practitioner can transcend it to have a deep experience of their essential nature, the true Self. These two yogis have decades of experience navigating the mind's mysteries and share what they've gleaned over many years of study and practice.
