The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
- Foundations of Classical Yoga

Recent Webinar: Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 6:00 pm PT / 9 pm ET / 07:30 am IST (Wednesday)

About the Webinar:

Yoga is widely practiced across the world today—but how often do we pause to engage with its original philosophical vision? Join Hindu University of America for an illuminating webinar on The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, one of the most foundational texts of classical Yoga and Hindu philosophy.
 
In this session, HUA faculty will offer an accessible yet rigorous overview of how Patañjali presents Yoga not merely as physical discipline, but as a complete metaphysical, ethical, and psycho-spiritual system. The webinar will explore key themes such as the distinction between external practices (bahiraṅga yoga) and inner disciplines (antaraṅga yoga), the nature of the mind and its modifications, and Yoga’s ultimate aim—transcending conditioned selfhood toward realization of the higher Self (parama antaraṅga yoga).

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

HSF6005 - (MA/DHS/PHD) – Core for MA in Hindu Studies and Elective for DHS) The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali represent a foundational philosophical text for the study of classical Yoga. Although Yoga has achieved widespread global recognition, its original metaphysical, ethical, and soteriological dimensions have often been diminished in contemporary practice. This graduate-level course critically examines Yoga beyond its external disciplines (bahiraṅga yoga), focusing on Patañjali’s extensive treatment of inner practices (antaraṅga yoga) and the transcendence of conditioned selfhood toward realization of the higher Self (parama antaraṅga yoga). Rooted in the Sāṅkhya darśana, the course establishes a rigorous philosophical framework...
