    It seems like the lineage on these teachings is like a massive game of telephone.  I’ve only been dabbling in Ayurveda, yoga, and jyotish for 4 years but it feels like as I learn and share, information gets lost in translation. Seems we need to be attentive and patient in putting the puzzle pieces back together as we climb back to the light.

    Would it be safe to say the Puranas were a way for the general public to study gods as we descended in consciousness and the epics are a way for the general public to study the gods as we ascend consciousness?
