Jai Sri Krishna & Emituofo Friends!

I am thrilled to share these recordings with you. We begin with a few rounds of alternate nostril nadi shodhana breathing. Guruji Pattabbhi Jois leads us in the Ashtanga Yoga opening & closing mantras. We recite the Divya Stotrani & Devi Aparadha Kshamapana Stotra, and a very special recording by astrojyoti.org of the Ganapati & Saraswati Dhyanams (Prarthanas). I hope you enjoy this offering.

May we all awaken to the blessings available each & every moment, and may we all quickly realize the Infinite Truth of Being.

Dr MA Jayashree has a beautiful strong voice that makes learning to use our own voice so pleasant. So I wanted to share these recordings to help you with these chants that we recently began working on. I know that you will enjoy them!

Guru Aṣṭaka, Āditya Hṛdaya & Gaṇeśa Pañca Ratna Stotra - Please find the chanting to these recordings in Sanskrit & Chanting Vol. 4 on pages 9, 10 & 14.

You can learn more about Jayashree here: ashtangayogaorangecounty.com/sanskrit & anantharesearch.org

We will begin studying the 4th Chapter of Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, Kaivalya Pāda, next week on Thu (10/22/2020).

I first met Jayashree during my second trip to Mysore, India in 2002. She has a strong voice that makes learning to use our own voice not only easier, but pleasant too. I instantly knew she was a valuable gem and took every opportunity to study with her while I was there. If you look at the date of my chanting book, you will see the project began that same year (2002).

My following trip 2004, Jayashree began teaching Yoga Sūtras chanting. I am incredibly fortunate to have learned Yoga Sūtras chanting from her. I cannot imagine a better foundation for studying the philosophy then having the sūtras readily available from memory. If we are patient & persistent - as long as you never quit - we will always continue learning. How much we can learn is mind boggling! So do not hesitate, do not postpone. Whatever you value, do not think of how daunting the project may be, just take it step by step and do not ever quit!

I hope you enjoy this recording of Jayashree reciting the next chapter which we will begin studying next week on Thu (10/22/2020). You can learn more about Jayashree here: ashtangayogaorangecounty.com/sanskrit & anantharesearch.org
