The yoga sutras of Pantajali are a set of 196 aphorisms that guide yoga practice. They are one of the most important texts in yoga and offer a comprehensive view of the philosophy and practice of yoga. Patanjali compiled the classic sutras around 200 CE for an in-depth look at the nature of mind, consciousness, and liberation. The timeless teachings work as practical advice rooted in the yoga tradition.

The word "music" is not just a word. It's a term, a special notion. And it has a spiritual dimension. Music unifies three forms of art: vocal music, instrumental music and dance. They merge together in a harmonious way. This combination is natural. The three elements are indispensable parts of one whole thing, called "muse", from which the term "music" originated. The triad of Svara, Laya and Ashaya - note, rhythm and state - corresponds to it as well. This is music.

Yoga Sutras: Extensive practical explanations of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Yoga Sutras succinctly outlines Yoga Meditation for Self-Realization. Patanjali created no new Yoga, but rather, systematized existing Yoga into the Yoga Sutras.
