Understanding Patanjali's Yoga Sutra and the Concept of Yoga
Patanjali, a renowned master in the yoga tradition, introduced the concept of Yoga Sutra, emphasizing the unification of individual consciousness with universal consciousness. Yoga, as presented by Patanjali, transcends physical postures and is a means to experience a state of unity within oneself. This state, known as samadhi, is the least excited consciousness where unity occurs naturally, leading to qualities like Ahimsa and Asteya forming part of the limbs of yoga.
