Matt himself has cheated his former partner Jody Kurilla, in Portland and ran away to New Mexico, to avoid legal repercussions. Is he not a sham and a shame himself? And I think it must be worth considering if free distribution of copyrighted matter (Copyright of Yoga Makaranda is with Desikachr and his family) is an offense in itself. So I suggest people like Matt to remove this content before some legal repercussions catch up with him and his cronies.

Honestly cyberyogi, you don't want my official comments on this public website. In essence, I think Kausthub is an utter sham of a yogi and that is putting it mildly. He is a pale shadow of his grandfather. A formal “apology” was issued by KYM but I am skeptical. Honestly cyberyogi, you don’t want my official comments on this public website.

So far I have read only the first chapter. It is a very good translation of the original. I am enjoying reading the English version. I hope to read Desikachar's translation too, but I am not in a hurry. cyberyogi, thank you for posting the link to the pdf file. So far I have read only the first chapter.

I plan to put up the original version for free download on my website very soon. I would encourage all not to buy the KYM version and support this violation of copyrighting, deceit and theft. Feel free to contact me for more information.

It was still known as Sanathana dharma. India was NEVER called "Sanatana-dharma" (see also the correct spelling) - "Sanatana-dharma" means "Eternal law" (eternal dharma, religion) - so it refers to Vedic and Brahmanic religion known today as Hinduism. India was called "Jambu-dvipa" or "Bharata-varsha" (the modern name of India is exactly "Bharata" in Sanskrit, or "Bharat" in Hindi). > The first Sutra says Yoga is open to all and there are no restrictions. It doesn't say so, nor anything close to it. It simply says: "Atha yoga-anushasanam", which means "And now - the exposition of yoga [is being made]". It is directed to the initiated students, as all the commentators underline, that the word "atha" (and now, here, behold) has the power of initiation. What funny errors:

I think it is even less necessary in a class, when there is an energy flow from many people. I used to listen to music when I started my home practice, but now it seems unnecessary.
