We were invited to teach mantra meditation at a small hatha yoga group's gathering in Taiwan. About 15 students came. In the course of our presentation we mentioned the uncontrolled senses being like untamed horses, pulling the chariot each to its side, the reins being the mind, the driver the intelligence, the passenger the soul... and passed around a Bhagavad - gita open on the painting of that description. I saw one girl taking note of the ISBN number of the book and other info (so that she could get it later), before she handed it on to the person sitting next to her. Near the conclusion of the lecture and the chanting, we said that in case anyone wondered where they could get a copy of the Bhagavad-gita, we had some downstairs in the car. Seven of the fifteen students came forward and bought a book.
Your servant, Dayal Nitai das (Taiwan).
