Yoga is an ancient science, practiced in India for thousands of years.
Liberation being the ultimate goal of all Indian religious and spiritual
traditions, Patanjali's Yoga Sutra is the Yoga school's treatise on how to
achieve it.
 
Maharshi Patanjali divided his Yoga Sutras into four chapters:
 
समाधि पाद Samadhi Pada
 
Samadhi is that spiritual state wherein one's mind is so completely
absorbed by whatever it is contemplating, that the mind loses the sense of
its own identity. The thinker, the thought process and the thought fuse
with the subject of thought. There is only oneness.
 
This chapter contains the famous sutra: योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः
yogaścittavrittinirodhaḥ {Yoga is the restraint of mental modifications}.
 
साधना पाद Sadhana Pada
 
Sadhana is the Sanskrit word for practice or discipline. Here the author
outlines two forms of yoga:
 
-
 
Kriya Yoga {Action Yoga}
-
 
Ashtanga Yoga {Eightfold or Eight-limbed Yoga}
 
 
विभूति पाद Vibhuti Pada
 
Vibhuti is the Sanskrit word for power. Siddhis {supra-normal powers} are
acquired by the practice of yoga.
 
कैवल्य पाद Kaivalya Pada
 
Kaivalya stands for emancipation or liberation, which is the goal of yoga.
The Kaivalya Pada describes the process of liberation and the reality of
the supreme self.
 
The practitioner of yoga works to attain unparalleled ecstatic awareness,
which, once achieved, is irreversible. This ultimate liberation is known as
moksha.
 
The original text, and accurate and well-worded translations in the Yoga
Sutras of Patanjali, convey this information beautifully. The English
translation uses diacritics to ensure correctness.
