I have had an old copy of Vasistha's Yoga by Swami Venkatesananda for years it seems like. It was free, given as an offering at the Siddha Meditation Center where I live. I had to do a paper on counseling methods. I am a student in psychology with a concentration in substance abuse counseling, so I had read about Existential, Gestalt and Person Centered theories in my current class and I had to do a paper. So much of it sounded like what I was into, Siddha Meditation and the empty mind. I am taking a course in the Truth of the Present Moment and I knew I wanted a therapy that was about awareness. Well, the author of Truth of the Present Moment, D. R. Butler is a big fan of Vasistha so I was looking at this old book but I wanted a reference. I have to cite everything. My school, also is online so I was online and searched for Vasistha and found the files. I was so happy to hear the book and I was delighted at the readers Irish lilt of an accent. I am Irish, or according to society and the world I am and I had Irish family so this was very comforting for me. I have also been rereading the Ramayana and recognized some comments from it. It is a great read by Mr. Gurugillies. I am so grateful to have found it. Sadgurunath Maharaj ki jay!
