About Sanskrit, Mahabharata

[Guest guest]

There is also an awesome video of the Mahabharata, from Peter Brook's stage

version. Three tapes, six hours, magnificent.

I agree, that Peter Brooks' production of the

Mahabharata is really great! Way exceeded my

expectations.<br><br>Buck's RAMAYANA is a pretty good abridged version,

though I wish someone would write a more complete

rendering (in something besides the Indian-English prose of

the other translations).<br><br>I own a couple of

translations of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Interesting reading.

Much there about "conquering death" with physical

practices; whether this has a metaphorical or literal intent

I've no idea. In any event, I refuse to swallow dhotis

or cut my phrenum with a razor blade in order to

roll back my tongue properly -- just ain't worth it to

me.<br><br>Theos Bernard's HATHA YOGA is a good buy, as it

compares several yoga sutras and the personal experience

of a yogi (Bernard . . . what ever happened to him

btw?) in trying out the recommended techniques.
