Shared Notes

In following many paths, I have, from time to time, made quite detailed notes of particular texts that I wanted to study. It occurs to me that others might find these notes to be useful and so here they are. All the errors are mine and so forgive me if you find one!

Sharing these notes with you is a matter of trust. If you use them in your own work, please be sure to acknowledge their source. For example, the notes on the Gita should refer back to either The Bhagavad Gita, Penguin Classics, 1962, translation by Juan Mascaró or Vinoba, Talks on the Gita published by Sarva Seva Sangh Prakashan, 14th Edition, November 2000, whichever is correct for the section that you use.
