Become proficient in Patanjali Yog Darshan (read about our Sanskrit spelling) Yog Darshan is the ancient Indian text on the practice and understanding of Yog, or Oneness. Timeless and universal, its teachings transcend the boundaries and divisions that the human mind places on its perception of reality, whether religious, social, or personal. Study this ancient system of Yoga culminating in the attainment of Kaivalya, the unfolding of the vision of Oneness, enlightened liberation. Through the ages, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali has been a concise handbook for yogis, providing them with practical, clear advice for keeping them on track towards their goal of the Vision of Oneness.

What professionals are saying about this course:

I already know the yoga sutras of Patanjali and I need to be certified in order to teach these courses. Brijendra's course is very beautiful and wonderful, each paragraph is a sutra in itself. In fact, I've never read a similar course. It's explained in the light of our modern life and accessible to everybody. Indeed, my knowledge helped me to grasp directly the content (with its Sanskrit words) but it's really a transcendental course. Walid Haddad, Vincennes, France Brijendra has been my teacher of the the Patanjali Sutras since 1987. On one of his extremely successful and profound world tours, he visited South Florida where he presented at the Meditation Center in Delray Beach. At that time, I was the director of the Center and sponsor of this event. It was a full house and all who attended just reveled in the awareness, depth of knowledge and space of samaadhi (perfect meditation) that was experienced by all. Now this same experience is available while listening to these CD recordings. How I wish I had that opportunity when I was living in the West, rather then having to take so much time to study various different written, sometimes confusing, editions of Patanjali's work on my own. Listening to these recordings with closed eyes, I not only developed a clearer and deeper understanding of this system of Yog but I also experienced the spaces of meditation that were being spoken about. Sherrie Wade, MA Licensed Mental Health Counselor The Essence of Patanjali Course has been a true gift for me. I feel fortunate studying it. The CDs and graphic charts have helped to appreciate the manual. Renate Podhorecka, West Hartford, CT Click Here to read more comments from graduates of this course from around the world.
