[prashveda]

Thank you very much for the response, Chetan. Yes, you are right – I wanted to understand the co-relation of ‘Aatma Samyama’ to Bhakti which is loosely thought of letting go of one’s control.

Swamiji addressed this in today’s class and I really liked his response and will ponder more – Freedom of the senses, freedom from the senses.

And apologies for any confusion with spelling. Spelling of Samyama was based on pronunciation according to Praachya Shaakha, the way I have learnt from my Vedic gurus.
