Vedanta Teachings of Swami Dayananda

An Inquiry Into the Nature of I I highly recommed this video- although it is old it is so easily understood and classic brilliance of Swami Dayananda. The Swami Dayananda - (w/subtitles) The Nectar of Non-Duality series is also good to watch or listen to a few 100 times as well. :-)


Ramanand Patel Interviews with Leslie Howard

Special Pranayama Class on youtube.

Time with Ramanand and pranayama. There are also many great interviews with Ramanand with vedanta tones of yoga beyond asana subject matter in this youtube series.


Wisdom of the Sages Podcast

These are daily one hour teachings of the Srimad Bagavatam and all things yoga related. Raghunath and Kaustubha of the Krisna Consciousness lineage bring ancient teachings into reflection for modern living. An inspirational and uplifting way to start,refresh or end your day. (I listen to one or three daily.)
