"Learning" Tantra & Yoga





My great teacher Bhramanand said, "Don't think you can 'learn yoga' in some complete and final way. As you are in the process of learning, it is important to remember that for one - you can never 'learn it all' for there is more data out there than you could learn in 100,000 lifetimes. You will learn what you are meant to learn within your lineage. Also, the teachings are evolving inside you. You are a vital link in a lineage vintage, which is likened to a fine wine of tradition, sadhana, and knowledge. This vintage deepens with each new generation of practitioner. You will discover things that your teachers have not. Stay awake! Be the respectful explorer rather than the perfectionist. The tradition is alive!"
