Patanjalis Yoga Sutras | Vibepedia

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are a collection of 195-196 Sanskrit sutras that compile knowledge about yoga from Samkhya, Buddhism, and older Yoga traditions. Compiled in India in the early centuries CE, these sutras provide a foundation for the practice of yoga and have been influential in the development of various yoga traditions. The Yoga Sutras draw from distinct traditions, including Samkhya, Buddhism, and older ascetic and religious strands of speculation, and are built on Samkhya notions of purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter).
