The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali – The Core of Yogveda
Yogveda Yoga is based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a 196-aphorism guide to spiritual liberation compiled around the 2nd century CE. It’s divided into four chapters:
-
Samadhi Pada: Explores deep meditation (samadhi) and the eight limbs of yoga to purify body and mind.
-
Sadhana Pada: Covers practices like overcoming the five hindrances (kleshas) and karma’s role in growth.
-
Vibhuti Pada: Discusses yoga powers (siddhis), seen as distractions to avoid.
-
Kaivalya Pada: Focuses on spiritual liberation (kaivalya) through unity of soul and supreme consciousness.
-
Patanjali stresses discipline, self-control, and non-attachment—principles Shahid embeds in his yoga teacher training in Bern, Switzerland.
