Samadhi Pada : Patanjali

Joel B. also gave me a copy of the Samadhi Pada after class last Sunday. It is the 1st section of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali , consisting of 51 sutras. Samadhi can be interpreted as a trance like state or as an altered state of consciousness.In the Samadhi Pada , Patanjali gives us the aim of yoga in theoretical terms, explaining it as the restraint of the chitta vrttis , the restraint of the mind. We got around to the 27th sutra at class today ; what a feat ,so much to think about. Thanks to DylanisHappy from Thailand for the vdo.
