Patanjali beschrieb in seinen Yoga Aphorismen (Sutras) vor mehr als 2.500 Jahren die Yamas und Niyamas als Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen und als zentrale Voraussetzungen für ein dharmisches Leben. Wir lieben und schätzen diese Tugenden, jedoch ist es äußerst selten, jemanden zu treffen, der diese nicht nur von anderen fordert, sondern sie auch selbst in seinem Verhalten ausdrückt. In diesem Hörbuch werden die Yamas und Niyamas vorgestellt und als Lesung aus dem Buch Der Guru spielt Golf zum Zuhören, Wiederholen, Vertiefen und Kultivieren bereitgestellt.

More than 2,500 years ago, Patanjali described the Yamas and Niyamas in his Yoga Sutras as attitudes and behaviors, and as central prerequisites for a dharmic life. We love and value these virtues, yet it is extremely rare to meet someone who not only demands them of others but also embodies them in their own behavior. This audiobook introduces the Yamas and Niyamas and presents them as readings from the book The Guru Plays Golf for listening, reviewing, deepening, and cultivating. Every life is unique!

The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely religious in nature, reflecting the world view and spiritual preoccupations of ancient India.

Eknath Easwaran grew up in Gandhi's India and was deeply inspired by him.
