About the author
Maharshi Patañjali is revered as the ancient Indian sage who systematized the philosophy of Yoga through his seminal work, The Yoga Sūtras. Thought to have lived between 200 BCE and 400 CE, he is considered the father of classical yoga and one of the most influential spiritual thinkers in Indian history.
Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras—a collection of 196 concise aphorisms—form the foundational text of Rāja Yoga, outlining a practical and philosophical path to spiritual liberation through mental discipline, self-awareness, and inner peace.
In addition to his work on yoga, traditional accounts also credit him with contributions to Ayurveda (Indian medicine) and Vyākaraṇa (Sanskrit grammar), making him a polymath and spiritual icon whose legacy continues to shape the global yoga tradition.
