1:01:00..Believe me diet is & plays huge role in mind control, & following ashtang yog

Saatvik diet=more controlled calm mind ^ vice versa

It's obvious that Prof. Bryant is a practitioner since his understanding and explanations are so clear and well organised! Only a practitioner would be able to do this since they would have some experience and also the deep interest and passion to really learn - as opposed to someone that was merely a scholar.

One of the most brilliant explanation of the Yoga Sutras ever !! Asatoma jotir gamaya.. (may this lead me from darkness to light)

[hemantamaity]

This is the profound expression of the uniqueness of yoga from an academician. I loved your talk.

[sisimontez]

Brilliant! A serious topic shared with sense of humor. Thank you so much Professor.

[peterchase]

Writing is a prop for a weak mind. This is a fascinating thought. Many so called lesser cultures did not develop writing as their culture was passed on orally.

[nandinidatta]

This is a brilliant talk !! Hats of to professor Brayant .🌺

Great illumination of the Yoga Sutras and their context in Hinduism and western yoga. I have been a fan of his commentary on the Sutras for a long time, such a great exploration for yoga teachers. I found this lecture as I am creating a podcast episode around the historical context of the Yoga Sutras, and having recently learned about their fall into obscurity before the British colonialism and subsequent translation of the text into English. Some good insight into that here. I had some citta vrttis arise with his constant fidgeting with the microphone and the sounds that it created, so I hope he will see this video and be more conscious of that in the future! Otherwise, I am happy to see he is as brilliant in lecture as his writing. Thanks Mr. Bryant!
