FYI & additional Comments .
Yoga Rahasyam is no longer available to us .
It was an anushtAnam , the method of visualizing
the Lord blessed to AchArya Naatha MunigaL by
Swamy NammAzhwAr directly . It is more related to
Bhakthi yogam . As you might recall , Swamy
NammAzhwAr was
deeply involved in the Yogic meditation on the Lord
for many
years without eating or drinking and bein
gsustained only by
the Lord as His food and drink and Sarvam
.
AchArya Naathamuni's grandson was delayed in
Thiruvananthapuram
and missed being initiated into the mysteries of
Yoga Rahasyam by
Sottai Nampi , the direct disciple of AchArya
Naathamuni . by the time ,
AchArya AlavanthAr returned to his home , Sottai
Nampi had attained
his AchAryan's sacred feet and as a result ,
AchArya Naathamuni's
anushtAnam could not be propagated down the AchArya
Paramparai .

Subject: [Oppiliappan] Patanjali, Yoga in Sri Vaishnava
context How is Patanjali reckoned in the Sri Vaishnava lineage? Is the Yoga Rahasya
of Nathamuni a commentary on the Yoga Sutra's of Patanjali?
What is the status of yOgAbhyasa in Sri Vaishnavism today? Is Yogi
Krishnamacharya's commentary on Yoga Rahasya accepted in the pan-academic
community of Sri Vaishnava acharyas?
Lastly, if Patanjali's tomes are accepted within the Sri Vaishnava context,
how does his Mahabhasya, a commentary on Panini's tomes, compare? This
since Panini had strong Shaiva leanings as we witness in Asthyadyayi.
