Yogacharya Sundaram was part of an emerging movement to blend yoga with body building in the 1920s. He was known to K and had a gym and a great following in nearby Bangalore in the years K was active in Mysore. Few could match K in eloquence and textual knowledge, and Sundaram was not even in the running.

K unifies the categories of modern practice by featurizing them with the bhakti yoga of devotion (first firmly articulated in the Bhagavad Gita) and thence directing them toward the Highest.

You have this too, Amazon must love you Claudia : ) We studied this with Ramaswami along with the yoga Makaranda on his Krishnamacharya course.

Interestingly the translation is a little different than yours, going by the pictures you posted.
