On initiation and transformation: The Marine Corps and the Bhagavad Gītā with William S Whorton

I enjoyed this third conversation with William S Whorton, co-translator with Acharn Tassanee Sinsakul of The Bhagavad Gītā published last year by Uppsala Books: https://uppsalabooks.com/bg on the 65th anniversary of Bill's first day of training in the Marine Corps. It is a privilege to listen to Bill and receive some of the fruits of a lifetime of seeking and practice on the WAY of yoga and the sincere search for TRUTH. In this conversation we touch on themes of initiation and transformation, of apprenticeship and the role of desire, readiness and sacrifice on any genuine path of growth and transformation.
