The Yogasutra of Patanjali is a foundational text that delves deep into classical yoga philosophy, emphasising control of the mind, liberation, and transcendental knowledge. It guides practitioners towards realising the Absolute by integrating physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions. The Yogasutra holds great significance as it offers a comprehensive guide to the path of yoga. It comprises 196 concise aphorisms and categorises yoga into eight limbs, known as Ashtanga Yoga, each representing a step towards spiritual realisation.

Dr. S. Ramaratnam, Chancellor of Jagadguru Kripalu University, Odisha, through JKYog India, conducts an exceptional online class on the Yogasutra of Patanjali. Dr. Ramaratnam is a foremost authority in Sanskrit and yoga philosophy, with an extensive academic background that includes an M.A. and Ph.D. in Sanskrit, along with several other degrees and diplomas in philosophy, psychology, and management.

The Yog Sutra expounds on the concept of Chitta Vritti Nirodha, the cessation of mental fluctuations, as yoga's fundamental goal. It emphasises self-awareness, discernment, and a holistic lifestyle conducive to spiritual growth. The Yog Sutra addresses human suffering and offers practical insights into alleviating mental afflictions and attaining lasting happiness.

Through systematic practice, individuals traverse the inner landscape of consciousness, experiencing profound unity of existence.
