SUMMARY Dr. Swami Shankardevananda Saraswati
Dr. Chattopadhyay has presented us with a very informative talk from a different angle. We are often saturated by research into physiology and psychology, so it is refreshing to have this cultural perspective. Unless yoga can transcend cultural barriers, any 'l' yoga, any division will create suffering and limitation in knowledge and understanding. The more barriers we create between cultures, between races, between societies and religions, the less we know about each other and the more alienated we become. This is the path to destruction. Only by breaking down these barriers in ourselves through critical selfexamination, through looking at what is going on, can we understand our society. So thank you very much for your enlightened perspective.
