The Yoga Sūtras — A Science of the Mind
From The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, taught by Acharya T Krishnatrey. This lesson is free to read.
Some eighteen centuries ago the sage **Patañjali** gathered the living science of **yoga** into about **196 sūtras** — aphorisms so compressed that each is a seed to be unfolded. The *Pātañjala Yogasūtra* is the foundational text of the **Yoga darśana**: a precise, experiential science of the mind and the path to **stillness (nirodha)** and **freedom (kaivalya)**. <pre data-block="quote">Yoga is not a belief to be argued but a laboratory of the mind — a method to be practised and verified in one's own experience. — the spirit of the Yoga darśana</pre>
