Based on the book: Demystifying Patanjali: The Yoga Sutras (Aphorisms) –The Wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda as Presented by his Direct Disciple, Swami Kriyananda
About 2200 years ago, a great spiritual master of India named Patanjali described the process of Self-Realization and presented humanity with a clear-cut, step-by-step outline of how all truth-seekers and saints achieve divine union. He called this universal inner experience and process “yoga” or “union.” His collection of profound aphorisms-a true world scripture-has been dubbed Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
Dive into the Yogic Teachings: explore the 8-limbed path Patanjali outlined—using introspective exercises, affirmations, visualizations, discussion, and meditation practices.
