I am so grateful for this channel. Edwin Bryant brings a richness to the study of consciousness. I am delighted this particular wanderer found UA-cam. 🙏
another great interview. Going to boarding school at 7 would drive anyone to existential angst...But create great conditioning to be a yoga scholar....or Jogi warrior (it started with the scythians)
While reading about the nature of Purusha in "Patanjali and Yoga" by Mircea Eliade, I was struck with the impression that Buddhism IS Samkhya. Is it possible that Nirvana=Purusha? Could the Vaisnavas and Buddhists actually be talking about exactly the same thing?
they are certainly part of the same tradition no doubt! On the other hand, they do differ on the nature of Self and God. So, still quite big differences..
Would anyone be able to help me locate the author of a 1960s book about yoga by Dr. B. Edwin? I thought it might be the father of the guest. Thank you in advance.

Thank you Dr Bryant, your books rescued from the dogmatic institutional mire of Bhakti traditions.
We have been very fortunate to have had this opportunity to talk and learn from Dr Bryant indeed! 🙏
this is my professor :)
You are very fortunate.
Apart from Siddhartha (Herman Hess), what was the other book referred to here ? Great stuff BTW 👍👍🙏🙏
This interview was one year ago now, so I forget. Sorry. Maybe, something like Paul Bruntons’ ,a Search In Secret India’ ..?
Carlos Castaneda’s books

Dang... my first book on the way to exploring spirituality was Jouney to Ixtlan (Carlos Castaneda)

Sorry, we haven’t heard of that - and not Edwin’s own father who was in the civil service in the UK.
@@keenonyoga Thanks so much for getting back. This was an American. he would have been around 35 to 40 in 1971 or so. Thanks again.
I would like to hear more of his journey-the finding of his tradition etc. free of constant interruptions. He got as far as India-Then what?
I see you found parts 2 and 3 :)
@@keenonyoga please post links to part 2 and 3
Is there a longer version of this? This one seemed to end a bit abruptly.
'Finding Krishna' is the second part
