Pantanjali's life story is somewhat unknown, leaving many
details unexplained and disputed. Pantanjali
was born to Atri and Anusuya; both masters of Ashtanga yoga.
The details surrounding his birth have assumed mythical
dimensions. It is said that in order to teach
yoga,
Pantanjali fell from the heavens in the form of a little
snake, and fell into his virginal mother's open palms. His most
known accomplishment is the compilation of the Yoga Sutras, a
major work which contains aphorisms on the philosophical aspects
of mind and consciousness, and is the assumed writer of work on
the ancient Indian medicine system. Recently Yoga Sutra has
become popular worldwide for the precepts of Raja Yoga, and also
the philosophical basis of the Yoga movement, which aids in the
health of harmonizing of the bodymind. |
