Patañjali

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Patañjali is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, an important collection of aphorisms on Yoga practice, and also the author of the Mah¿bh¿¿ya, a major commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi. However, whether these two works are that of the same author or not remains in some doubt. In recent decades the Yoga Sutra has become quite popular worldwide for the precepts regarding practice of Raja Yoga and its philosophical basis. "Yoga" in traditional Hinduism involves inner contemplation, a rigorous system of meditation practice, ethics, metaphysics, and devotion to God, or Brahman. At the same time, his Mah¿bh¿¿ya, which first foregrounded the notion of meaning as referring to categorization, remains an important treatise in Sanskrit linguistic philosophy.
