From 13th to 17th March, a hybrid reading workshop was held devoted to studying parts of a forthcoming edition of Śivānandasarasvatī’s Yogacintāmaṇi, a lengthy unpublished seventeenth-century Sanskrit treatise on yoga which expands on an earlier treatise of the same name by a certain Godāvaramiśra. The work is rich in quotations from a broad range of sources and contains discussions that display considerable erudition. The work on the edition is supported by a grant of the NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) and the editors are Shaman Hatley (University of Massachussets, Boston), Jim Mallinson (SOAS / Oxford), and Jason Birch (SOAS).
