So when I finally take the time to really read AND follow your links, wow! Really enjoyed the Coffee Break video and reminder about them. INO system is interesting too, as I am often looking for “plateau busters.” シ

Epic Poetries are Vedic Mythological poems. Mahabharata is like Game of Thrones but less lust and more respect and power. It is from there we extract Shreemad Bhagvad Geeta.

Before that in our timeline, we also have Ramayana - Epic tale of Virtues where we are taught that good always wins over evil (hence the festivals of Dushhera and Diwali in India). To be honest poems are a big part of any culture, our seems to be filled with them.

When I started my Yog journey a friend asked me to read , The Zen poetry of Ryoken Taigu, One Robe One bowl for mindfulness. I find it way more relaxing.

Anyway, amazing article. Made me remind a few things.

I had no idea Coffee Break was doing a YouTube channel now! Or, rather, that they have been for, uh, 15 years or so. Back before podcast was an everyday word, I went through their entire Spanish and Italian programs. Loved them. Thanks for the link, I'm looking forward to getting back into their lessons!
