As is the case with most of the ancient scriptures from India, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were also written in Sanskrit. In order to help those interested in listening to the sutras in original Sanskrit sounds, I have made an effort to record each sutra with accurate Sanskrit pronunciation along with its translation in English. I have used the translation by Swami Satchidananda for these audios.
I am pleased to present the audio recording of all four chapters of the Yoga Sutras. I have made every attempt to pronounce each sutra with the correct Sanskrit sounds.

Visit this page on the yoga sutra blog to see the text of all the sutras written in the Sanskrit (Devanagari) script.
I would love to get your feedback.
I wanted to ask you for the audio file you made available. It’s great to have a downloadable resource to listen to on the phone and carry with me.
I am learning Sanskrit and I find your website very useful.
Thank you for your contribution!
Best wishes,
Giulia
