What students carry forward
“Rajani Ma'am is an extremely wonderful teacher, par excellence. She teaches in a manner that is understood by a person of average intellect. Nādalaya is a great community to be part of. If someone really wishes to learn, please do join.”
“The explanation is so precise that we understand the Sūtra easily. Chanting is important, and I am able to chant because Ma'am makes it very easy. Thank you for making the Yoga-Sūtras easy to understand and love.”
“The meaning of the Sūtra is explained from the Sūtra itself by dissecting it. Dr. Pradhan’s deep understanding of Saṃskṛta helps in breaking words to their roots, and simple examples make the teaching easier to understand.”
