Five Verbatim Teachings of Saint Guru Chod

with introduction and commentary

The current text-ensemble is dedicated solely to the presentation of five verbatim teachings as pertain to the classical Yoga of Saint Guru Chod of Bangkok (1900-1988). These are five separate pieces of written instruction. They are limited in scope and specifically pertain to the lower forms of yoga. The texts are intended for public viewing but mainly as a means for assisting students in the process of yoga training. Suffice it to say, they are supplements merely: there can be no substitute for the personal guidance of a master. I hasten to add that Guru Chod never accepted any credit for the teachings he advanced, but gave all credit to Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh (1887-1963). He entrusted his guru with the highest veneration. He said: "Swami Sivananda was a living god in India.... He left this world.... He is Gurudeva."

 

 The Five Verbatima Teachings are listed as follows:  

1. Bhucha Phra-Athit (Classical Thai Sun Salutation)

2. The Names of the Sun

3. Asanas

4. Anuloma Viloma Pranayama (Alternate Breathing) [Dutch]

5. Yoga Practice Guidelines
