Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Question

Did Yogananda ever speak or refer to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in his teachings?

Nayaswami Anandi

Answer

Dear Raymond,

Yogananda gave a series of lectures on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Unfortunately, I don’t think these are currently available in any printed form.

In writing his Art and Science of Raja Yoga course, Nayaswami Kriyananda used information about Patanjali that he had learned from Yogananda.

Joy to you,

Anandi
