Why study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (YSP)?
Because, YSP is not just a manual on yoga philosophy, it is a manual on "life". A study of this manual will help us understand:
- How to live a life full of peace, harmony and fulfillment
- What is stress, what causes stress and how to manage stress
- How to achieve your maximum potential in life
- What is mind and how to understand its functioning
- What causes suffering and how can we prevent suffering
- How to keep the mind calm and peaceful in the face of adversity
- What is the goal of life and how to achieve that goal
- Does the practice of yoga only involve the practice of asana (physical postures) or is there more to this practice?
- What is self-realization
- … and much more …
Here is a brief summary of what we covered in the last session (an audio recording is available upon request):
- pranayama (breathing techniques)
- pratyahara (sense withdrawal)
Here is what I plan to cover in the upcoming session:
- Introduction to the three stages of meditation – dharana (focus), dhyana (meditation), samadhi (total absorption)
Come join me for these introductory talks on the Yoga Sutras and see how its study can help you in all aspects of life listed above.
