In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast I speak with David McGrath, author and Kriya Yoga teacher. David and I discuss his most excellent and engaging commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Pada 1.  David has written one of the most lucid and helpful modern commentaries on Patanjali's work. It is well worth the read for any serious student of yogic meditation. 

You can find David's new book, Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali: Book One – Samādhi Pāda — Concentrated Absorption here: https://a.co/d/1CvtSnK
