The Yogasūtra of Patañjali is one of the most ancient and foundational texts of Yoga Darśana containing a systematic presentation of India’s Central Philosophy of Meditation. Āchārya Sthaneshwar was taught this and other Yoga texts by his Guru the Kashmiri Saint Paramahaṃsa Svāmī Śrī Saccidānanda Sarasvatī (Khaptaḍ Baba) at his Himalayan hermitage in the mountains of Nepal. He will draw upon this experiential transmission of traditional wisdom and classical knowledge to expound the philosophy and practice enshrined in the Yogasūtra of Ṛṣi Patañjali.
