Ep. 5 - Sutra 1.23 On the Nature of Iśvara, Surrender, and the Spirituality of Yoga

In this week’s episode we explore the concept of and devotion to Iśvara - as the most direct path to yoga (1.23), and then the attributes of Iśvara to more fully understand the yogic concept that best translates in English as “God”.  We will take a moment to discern the difference between “religion” and “spirituality” to our best understanding, and how yoga is not a religion but is very much a practice of spiritual devotion.  We will continue and explore the nature of our understanding of the divine, how we all have access to a direct experience of the divine of our individual understanding, and our lifelong journey to know the Truth.
