What is yoga? Swami Sridharananda on the first four sutras of Patanjali.

In seven segments of about 10 minutes each
Swami Sridharananda introduces the foundation
of the teachings of Patanjali through a discussion
of the first four sutras.

Very, very rich. Requires intense concentration.
Introduces several Sanskrit words, phrases, concepts.

In only 196 sutras, or sentences, Patanjali revealed
the essential spring from which the waters of all
metaphysical thought flows. As Swami Sridharananda
points out, Patanjali did not originate these words and
concepts, rather he was raised in communion or yoga
or divine inspiration with the Author.
