    Commentaries around

    “We can summarise all the Bheda into three:
    – Saṃskāra Bheda (division by tendencies)
    – Pariṇāma Bheda (division by transformation or change)
    – Avidyā Bheda (division by illusion)
    They are not bad things, only different.
    We need to recognise and do something so the negative differences don’t take us over.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “Patañjali has proposed 3 approaches to verify the indications.
    Tapas – Process of action
    Food, Āsana, Prāṇāyāma.
    You will be doing something that you will not be habitually doing.
    For example one day no salt, cigarettes, Prāṇāyāma.
    Tapas is from the root to create thirst.
    It means to deprive.
    It will tell us about ourselves.
    It will reveal our Saṃskāra and Pariṇāma or changes in ourselves.
    From this Tapas we will start to get an indication of our individual nature.
    For example active or lazy.
    Tapas indicates the the beginning of the Bheda, through the Bhāva.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “What are the factors to consider in our teaching?
    At least they should be made known to the student.
    Deha Bheda – tall, fat, lean, scoliosis, straight back.
    Sādhana according to the physical characteristics.
    Something which must be fed, otherwise it will destroy.
    For example lumbar lordosis and deep back bends could cause problems.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983
