Patanjali’s Yogasutra vs Secular-Acharyas
A debate on the true nature of yoga as professed in the Patanjali’s Yogasutra and a perspective into the Secular-acharyas approach.
Yoga-Sutra
Over a period of time yoga and yogasanas
including pranayama (breathing exercises) have been greatly promoted
across the globe. People across races, religions, languages and
nationalities have practiced it, become followers and realized its
positive impact on their lives.
While going through Patanjali’s Yoga
Sutra, which is the principal philosophy of yoga, one admires that it is
professed so human mind can attain balance and remain healthy.
According to Patanjali, one of the major
instruments to attain it was by focusing on any likable form of God.
Likability means any person following a form of god according to one’s
belief and liking. Patanjali’s Yogasutra, in its Samadhi Padd, 32nd Sutra, talks of this as “Aek tattavābhyās”.
Debate on Yoga

asana leads to a flexible and healthy body, and breathing exercises lead
to de-stressing, healthy lungs, and plenty of oxygen to the brain, to read the full article, please visit shridevsharma.com/patanjalis-yogasutra-vs-secular-acharyas/
