Episode 157: Understanding Deep Science in Patanjali Yoga Sutras

This is a podcast by Anil K Rajvanshi in which he has shown how Patanjali's sutras mirror the knowledge of modern science and technology. According to him Patanjali was a true scientist who gave the first knowledge about the control of thought and mind and about universal laws governing time and space. Unfortunately till now none of the commentaries on Yoga Sutras have  explored them through the lens of science. He feels this podcast will help overcome that lacunae.

It is really remarkable that in his Sutras Patanjali talks about Universe, space-time continuum, movement of planets among others and this was much before the time of Copernicus, Plato, Socrates, Newton and Einstein.

Rajvanshi says that Sage Patanjali has been his teacher. Whatever little he has written in the last 20 years on spirituality or thought about the interaction of mind-matter and higher things have been inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and feels that his spirit has guided him in this journey.
