I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali held on Saturday, 3/20/21.

Brief summary of the sutras we covered:

  • Sutra 2.50: bāhya-ābhyantara-sthambha vr̥ttiḥ deśa-kāla-sankhyābhiḥ paridr̥ṣṭo dīrgha-sūkṣmaḥ ॥50॥
    The modifications of the life-breath are either external, internal or stationary. They are to be regulated by space, time and number and are either long or short.

  • Sutra 2.51: bāhya-ābhyantara viṣaya-akṣepī caturthaḥ ॥51॥
    There is a fourth kind of pranayama that transcends any reference to an internal or external object.

  • Sutra 2.52: tataḥ kṣīyate prakāśa-āvaraṇam ॥52॥
    As its result, the veil over the inner light is destroyed.

  • Sutra 2.53: dhāraṇāsu ca yogyatā manasaḥ ॥53॥
    And the mind becomes fit for concentration.
