Gurudev’s commentaries on Patanjali Yoga Sutras
“In Yoga Sutras, Maharishi Patanjali says that the purpose of yoga is to stop misery from befalling you.” – Gurudev
| | In December 1994, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar began explaining the ancient Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Gurudev brought to light the profound wisdom contained in Patanjali's Sanskrit passages. The audience was a group of course participants tucked in Weggis, Switzerland. Amidst the bliss of so much knowledge, somebody had the awareness to record those precious talks. |
For the first time, the transcripts of these talks will be available on the website. It is hoped that people will read this knowledge and share personal experiences of applying the knowledge in their life.
