Dear Sanga listeners,
Attached is the class outline for Dhanurdhara Swami’s class tonight on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Dear Sanga listeners,
My respects.
Thank you for attending the first class on Yoga Sutras. As I teach it, ideas will develop how best to present it in this phone conference medium and with the varied audience of listeners. One Idea I got already is to refine my personal notes after the class and send them to you. Also I will send before the class a basic summary of the subjects I will speak on. Here are my notes for the first class.
Humbly in service,
Dhanurdhara Swami

TRANSLATION
My dear spiritual master, Hanuman’s greatness is well known from scriptual statements like “The chief of the monkeys became perfect by acting as the Lord’s servant.” His servitude is proof of the Lord’s mercy.

The Lord truly gives His mercy, saintly authorities believe, when He grants the right to render various kinds of service, a blessing He gives to such devotees as Hanuman. Nothing else counts as His mercy.
