    Commentaries around

    “Abhiniveśā is the extra-ordinary
    instinctive urge to survive at any cost.
    No one is spared. In a way,
    it is a dislike about one’s death.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 9

    “There are essentially three causes for fear….
    desire, disease and death.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 9

    “Āsana alone can be a support for
    our outer relationship with living.
    However, can Āsana alone be a support
    for our inner relationship with dying?
    Especially as our disposition towards
    clinging to life is continuous, as well as
    being deeply buried within our psyche.
    This is why Yoga offers vehicles beyond Āsana
    for the inner and especially the final journey.”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 9

    “A person who is physically fit and
    who has been cleansed by the Agni of Dhyānam
    has no fear of sickness, disease, age or death.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Three verse 2

    “Breath is indispensable for life
    and its absence is death.
    Hence the necessity to make it longer
    and accumulate the Prāṇa Śakti.
    Just as a rich man accumulates money slowly to get wealthy,
    so also one should practice every day,
    through the proper use of the breath in Āsana,
    to maintain good health.”
    – T Krishnamacharya‘s response to a question on breathing.

    “There is no death for the Puruṣa
    because there is no change for it,
    and what is death but change.”
    – TKV Desikachar Religiousness in Yoga
    Chapter Six Page 87

    “We never know when we are going to die.
    So we must prepare for death.
    Because at the moment of death
    you become what you think.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983
