Essentials

And how priorities change as we grow.

I have been thinking intensely about how yoga is affecting people's lives and how from

being non-essential to staying alive, is becoming all the more essential for living.

Let me clarify this. I can live without yoga but I can't live without food, water and shelter.

Yoga is something I can live with or without it, isn't that right?

To answer this question, I must realize what yoga means to me.

Is it a variety of techniques I practice or a meeting with myself?

And who is this person I describe and identify as myself?

With these thoughts in mind, I dedicate Antaratma's kirtan, Hara Hara Mahadev, to those who seek.
