Episode 57: The Guru Must Customize the Teaching – Prashant Iyengar

Welcome back to On the Light. I'm your host, Susan Johnson.
This is the third conversation in my series with Prashant Iyengar exploring the History of Yog. In our previous two episodes, Prashantji encouraged us to understand our own history before turning to the history of the Yog tradition itself.
Today, we begin exploring that tradition. Prashantji explains the relationship between the classical texts and the living teacher, reminding us that while the texts illuminate the path, the guru must customize the teaching according to the individual student, the time, and the circumstances.
