This meetup is a study group for those seekers who are looking for more practical explanation & translation of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

The group will be listening to the commentary on Maharishi Patanjali’s ‘Aphorisms of YOGA’. by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of Art of Living a non profit & humanitarian organization.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali presents a systematic study of the consciousness, including the various hurdles that block the mind from experiencing equanimity and harmony. Patanjali then lists several ways to overcome these hurdles and suggests specific practices such as the eight-fold practice that includes asanas and pranayamas and to attend to one self. 
In these series of talk, Sri Sri translates and interprets the ancient Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali. In his inimitable style, Sri Sri reveals the deep wisdom contained in the sutras in an easy way to understand yet in thorough manner. He also identifies the many practical techniques of Patanjali and tells us what is necessary in order to perform all of our activities with equanimous mind. 

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all 
your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your 
consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, 
and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you 
discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself 
to be.” Patanjali 

 
Patanjali says, “Heyam Dukam Anagatam” –Yoga is not only if you are suffering from pain and ailments, the pain that is yet to come can also be avoided through yoga.


The meetup will get together every week for 2 hours.
The first hour will be focusing on gentle stretches, breathing exercise, meditation & the second hour we will be watching the recording of the talks on Patajali Sutra by Sri Sri followed by discussion on the subject for the day.

**This meetup accepts donations for every session. 
It’s been hosted by the volunteers of Art of Living chapter of Lehigh Valley

*A perfect opportunity to meet other seekers & immerse oneself in meditation & knowledge & get practical wisdom to live our everyday life more effortlessly & complete.
