योगेन चित्तस्य पदेन वाचा मलं शरीरस्य च वैद्यकेन I
योपाकरोत्तं प्रवरं मुनीनां पदञ्जलिं प्राञ्जलिरानतोऽस्मि ll

I bow down to the greatest sage Patanjali, who has helped us purify our minds through the system of Yoga, speech through the Mahabhashya and body through the system of Ayurveda.

Yoga is one among the six āstika-darśanas of Indian tradition followed by people all over the world. Sage Patañjali of the 2nd century BCE an incarnation of Lord Ananta, is believed to be the founder of this wonderful system. He has compiled the aṣtāṅgayoga tradition in the form of 196 sūtras. An in depth study of the sūtras show that he has formulated the system of Yoga based on the then existed social system. Sage Patañjali defines Yoga as ‘cittavṛttinirodhah’ (inhibition of modifications of mind). The term Yoga derived from Sanskrit dhātu ‘yuj samādhau’ means Samādhi. Among the eight limbs of Yoga Samādhi forms the eighth one. The ultimate aim of practising the system is the attainment of Kaivalya. It is a state where the Puruṣa realises his separateness from the Prakṛti and there by evolves and escapes from the chain of rebirths and pains of this mundane existence.

These days practitioners have simplified and restricted Yoga to its third and fourth limbs viz. Āsanas and Prāṇāyāma. Just by few days of practise people deem themselves as teacher of this system and lead the life of followers towards ultimate devastation. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya in his commentary to yogasūtras opine that a life time practitioner of Yama and Niyama is the adhikāri of this system. Yama include non-violence truth non-stealing celibacy & non-possessiveness. Niyama include cleanliness happiness austerity self-study & surrender towards God. A true aspirant should be able to practise them both physically and mentally. A true follower of the system admits and truly believes on the power of God, surrenders all his actions and worships him through Upāsana. Sage Vyāsa comments that this God can be any deity whom one worships or can be one’s own Guru. King Bhoja comments this as the easiest method to attain Samādhi and Kaivalya thereafter. So let us all pray for the blessings of our divine Guru, Amma. Without her grace fulfilment of any of the aṣtāṅgas would remain impossible. Let us practise Yama and Niyama and celebrate Yoga throughout our life.
