अथ योगानुशासनम् ॥ १.१ ॥atha yogānuśāsanam ॥ 1.1 ॥Now, I enunciate the discipline of Yoga.Thus begin the Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali. This one sutra sprouts a thousand questions, and causes one to wonder.We spend a lot of life looking for answers. Our life looms over us like a big question, never letting us rest, never letting us stop. There is no end to the things we do for those answers except for one little thing. We never turn in. We never stop to seek answers in our own self. We never seek to scale the walls our minds create. No one can give us any answers. The purpose of the knowledge is not to provide answers. If answers could be found just by listening or reading a book, the entire world would have become enlightened a long time ago. The purpose of knowledge is simple - it motivates us to find our own answers. It plants a seed of curiosity - we start asking the big questions. Once the questions are right, and the intent to look for answers is unshakeable, the answers reveal themselves. It is inevitable. Truth cannot be denied to those who seek it.Keeping this fundamental, irrevocable principle in mind, this book has been penned in the hopes that the knowledge of Yoga Sutras will nudge you in asking the right questions. The illustrations have been carefully created by a brilliant illustrator and a yoga master for each sutra. Art provides a unique opportunity to go beyond logic, and connect to something beyond the intellect. All the subtleties of the mind are engaged, through words and through art, through philosophy and psychology, and through science and spirituality.Come and experience a mystic amalgamation of art and prose of the ancient knowledge of Yoga.--------------------Contains original Sanskrit Verse with a Latin Transliteration and in-depth commentary in English.Each Sutra is illustrated to connote the Bhava or Emotion. Full Color Plates.

Yogic asana and pranayama have been developed in such a way that they work on multiple aspects at once. The asanas realign the muscles of the body to their correct position, improve digestion and the hormonal balance. The breath and our attention to the breath and body remove the mental dullness and the emotional toxicity that collects in the body and mind. Once the body is in a good state while awake, it is active, productive and lively. Consequently, a day well spent leads to a night well rested - sleep automatically becomes deep and peaceful and rhythmic. This book is a record of an actual session from my Yoga Studio, and since it is so easy, practical, quick and beneficial, I thought to share it with you all.

The human body is a machine with a complexity beyond anything we have ever seen or built. Even after millions of years, we are yet to understand it completely. Bones, muscles, fluids, organs, and other innumerable components keep this one organism in a sustainable working state that requires little voluntary effort. In the early times, when Homo-sapiens were still hunters, there was no time or the need to develop any kind of special techniques to keep the body in an optimum condition. Either one survived and created stronger off-springs, or one was devoured by some animal or the environment. Hunting, creating spaces to sleep safely. Doing everything oneself gave the body a strength that is unmatched by people who have lived in the last 500 years in the changing world. Even today one can observe the "superhuman" strength and skill in tribal people that have not changed their ways for millennia. The Seers realized that the body and mind are deeply interconnected, and when they are in harmony, life is pleasant and powerful. The scientists developed techniques to achieve harmony between the mind and nature. Hence, Yoga was born, the technology to bring harmony between Body, Mind and Nature. In the earlier times, control on breath and sensory organs were taught to the students because the food was always seasonal and freshly cooked, there were few distractions, and the regular routine of life provided more than enough exercise to the body. Bodies were strong and flexible, and minds were alert. Asanas came into vogue as life became more and more placid and the body started deteriorating. This book reinforces the YOGA Practice by showing ASANA that can help reinvent the MIND and allow LIFE a cheery boldness a and a gusty enthusiasm.
