Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Posted April 14, 2001 Hi,<br><br>Thanks for all the responses. I have a new question. As a Christian if someone was looking for a place to start reading the scriptures I would know where to tell him or her to start. If they were looking for a spiritual direction read Romans, or someone who has minimum Christian back round might start in the gospel of John. So my question would be where do I start.<br><br>Lewis Quote

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Posted April 14, 2001 If you are asking about where to start in the yoga/vedanta field, I suggest:<br><br>1. The Raja Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. This is an excellent and complete philosophy of consciousness<br><br>2. The Principal Upanishads. At first, read them as you would the Psalms, as devotional poetry.Let them open your heart and mind.<br><br>Then you can read commentaries on them. There are many inspiring commentaries by knowledgeable people on both of these suggestions. Quote
