Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The art, science and spiritual insight of Yoga has come to us through a long tradition. As a matter of fact, this science has its source in the utterances of Bhagavan Hirayagarbha the ‘ Universal womb”, who is none other than Lord Narayana.

Yoga is a complete science of human beings. It takes into account the various aspects which constitute the human being. They are physics, psychophysics, psychics, Meta psychics and metaphysics.

PHYSICS means that which constitutes and governs physical and physiological body. This consists of the five gross elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. Therefore, it is called the physics of the human being.

PSYCHO-PHYSICS means that which deals with the combined and co- ordinated activity of the mind and body (psychics and physics). This is unique to Yoga practice. The life force (prana)  is the medium of co-ordination.
