Yoga Sutra 1.1

ganesh

अथ योगानुशासनम् ॥१॥

atha yoga-anuśāsanam

Now, here begins the exposition of Yoga

The first word of Patanjali’s first sutra is atha or NOW. The past and the future do not exist for the student of Yoga because one who practices Yoga is fully rooted in the present. All necessary steps have been taken to prepare yourself for this significant moment, when you have the desire, commitment, and discipline to pursue the highest path, the path of Yoga.

  1. Great website. However, in my opinion, I think the falling snow effect on the website is a distraction. Or is there something graphically wrong with it?
