Krishnamurti on Yoga
'If you are doing yoga there must be no effort at all, no forcing the body. If you force the body it is not yoga.' This week’s episode on Yoga has six sections. The first extract (2:30) is from the fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1972, titled ‘The origins of yoga’. The second extract (5:36) is from the fourth talk in Amsterdam 1971, titled ‘Which is more important, a healthy body or a healthy mind?’ The third extract (12:23) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth discussion at Brockwood Park School in 1970, titled ‘Yoga without effort or control’. The fourth extract (24:45) is from the first question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1979, titled ‘Can yoga awaken deeper energy, called kundalini?’ The fifth extract (35:25) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Ojai 1985, titled ‘The highest form of yoga’. The final extract in this episode (42:28) is from the sixth talk in Ojai 1980, titled ‘There is only one yoga’. Season three of the Krishnamurti podcast continues with the format of carefully chosen extracts from the archives of philosopher’s talks.
