Deepest thanks to Down Under student and author Popsi Narasimhan for this landmark oration of one of the foundational texts of classical yoga. The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali are a collection of 196 Sanskrit sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga compiled around 500 BCE by the sage Patanjali in India who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from much older traditions. This is a complete version of all the Sutras.
