  • Yoga Makaranda Part 2
    Yoga Makaranda (Part II) Sri T. Krishnamacharya About this Document by A. G. Mohan While reading the document please bear in mind the following: 1. The document seems to have been written during the 1930s and early 40s. It contains gems of advice from Krishnamacharya spread over the document. It can help to make the asana practice safe, effective, progressive and prevent injuries. Please read it carefully. 2. The original translation into English seems to have been done by an Indian who is not proficient in English as well as the subject of yoga. For example: a. You may find translations such as ‘catch the feet’ instead of ‘hold the feet’. b. The word ‘kumbhakam’ is generally used in the ancient texts to depict pranayama as well as the holdings of the breath. The original translation is incorrect and inconsistent in some places due to such translation. c. The word ‘angulas’ is translated as inches. Some places it refers to finger width. d. The word ‘secret’ means right methodology. e. ‘Weighing asanas’ meaning ‘weight bearing asanas’. 3. While describing the benefits of yoga practice, asana and pranayama, many ancient Ayurvedic terminologies have been translated into western medical terms such as kidney, liver, intestines, etc. These cannot be taken literally. 4. I have done only very minimal corrections to this original English translation to remove major confusions. I have split the document to make it more meaningful. 5.

    Yoga Chicago : July - August 2005 www.yogachicago.com/jul05/mitra.shtml A Workshop with Dharma Mittra: The Road to Self-Realization By Cara Jepsen I was delighted when I learned that Dharma Mittra was giving a May workshop at Moksha Yoga Riverwest.

As a student of ashtanga vinyasa yoga, which is “99 percent practice, one percent theory,” I was eager to hear one of the country’s most senior yogis talk about the latter--and was not disappointed. Wearing baggy white gauze pants and with his gray hair tied back in a ponytail, Dharma was in a headstand when I arrived at the Moksha weekend workshop. “I will be happy to share some of the secrets that bring me some peace,” he humbly told our group. It was a rare opportunity for Midwesterners to study with the teacher of classical raja yoga, who is best known for his 1984 Master Yoga Chart of 908 postures and his recent book, Asanas: 608 Yoga Poses. Dharma was raised Catholic in southeast Brazil and discovered yoga in the 1950s through his younger brother’s books on the topic. Dharma, a former gymnast and bodybuilder, injured his knee in the Brazilian Air Force in 1961.
