This recording is a satsang on the 5 Kleshas or 5 Types of Suffering with Swami Sitaramananda. This teaching is taken from Patanjali Maharishi's Raja Yoga Sutras writted thousands of years ago. It is commented on in the Meditation & Mantas by Swami Vishnudevananda.
The 5 types of suffering come from Ignorance, Egoism, attraction, aversion, and fear of death. The only solution to this is Yoga which alleviates our suffering. Sometimes we think "I am the only one suffering" - but in fact everyone is suffering. The ancient sages knew this reason of why we suffer and give us specific yoga practices to help.
