Ranju Roy and Dave Charlton, coauthors of Embodying the Yoga Sutra: Support, Direction, Space, return to talk with J about the role yoga plays in fulfilling our innate religious impulse. They discuss their childhood exposures to religion, the third and forth chapters of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, Ishavara Pranidhana, the evolution of TKV Desikachar's teaching on devotion, prayer and the question of a creator, challenging post-enlightenment viewpoints, chanting and emotions, and coming to humble terms with our place in an unknowable universe.

And today, I waited because all the stuff was going on in the house and people were taking

showers.

1:23.5

When people are taking showers, you can hear the water running in the background.

1:28.1

And maybe you don't notice these things, but I do my best to try to, like, get as best

1:32.9

quality audio as I can.

1:34.8

And if it's relatively quiet, this attic does a great job of, like, acting as a studio.

1:52.9

I can hear that. And so little things like that. And I try to get everything in place. And so today,

1:58.3

I waited and I waited and I got everything in place and I got up here and

2:02.4

everything should have been perfect. But I don't know if you can hear it. It's like thunderstorms
