| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well. I have a really exciting conversation. Actually, it's not |
| 0:05.7 | exciting. It's really enriching conversation lined up for you on the show today. Wikram Jit Singh is back on |
| 0:11.2 | the podcast. We're talking about the yoga sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita. How these two texts |
| 0:17.0 | merge and where the two texts are vastly different. And Vikram really gives you so much |
