A Journey to Holistic Living
Timeless Teachings
- Patanjali Yoga Sutras: “Yoga stills the mind.”
In the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, the phrase “Yoga stills the mind” refers to the core purpose of yoga — achieving mental stillness and inner peace. Patanjali defines yoga as “Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah” (Sutra 1.2), which means yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. Our minds are constantly filled with thoughts, emotions, and distractions, creating mental turbulence that affects our well-being. Through yoga practices like meditation, breath control, and physical postures, one learns to quieten these mental waves, bringing clarity, calmness, and self-awareness. This stillness allows the mind to detach from external chaos and connect with the deeper self, ultimately leading to inner harmony and spiritual growth.

Yoga in Modern Life
Yoga nurtures well-being, resilience, and inner peace. With abhyasa (effort) and vairagya (detachment), we master the mind and reconnect with our true essence.
Yoga is the journey from me to we, from ego to essence.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
