If one truly goes through these 8 steps… what changes will happen within a person?
Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Thirumoolar’s ​​Thirumantiram and Hatha Yoga reveal a fascinating path from ordinary life to higher consciousness.

Is yoga just about asanas and exercises?

Thousands of years ago, the Indian yogic tradition has explained a profound path to gradually transform the human body, breath, senses, mind and consciousness.

In this video, we look at these eight stages as mentioned in Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga and Thirumoolar’s ​​Thirumantiram.

Yama – rules that regulate life
Niyama – spiritual disciplines that develop the soul
Asana – postures
Pranayama – breathing and the practice of prana energy
Pratyahara – turning the senses inward
Dharana – concentration of the mind
Dhyana – deep state of meditation
Samadhi – complete internal absorption and heightened state of consciousness

But Patanjali also mentions some very surprising concepts on this path.

What happens when one is completely established in non-violence?

What power do the words of one who is established in truth gain?

Why is it said that knowledge of previous and next births is gained by establishing detachment?

How is celibacy related to spiritual power?

Are these just fairy tales?

Or are they the profound insights our ancient yogic traditions have to offer about the mind, consciousness, discipline and spiritual development of man?

We ponder that in this video.

Most importantly — the purpose of these eight stages is not just to gain “powers”.

True spiritual growth is…

Transforming our lives.

Purifying the mind.

Focusing on attention.

Awareness of the senses.

Turning inward.

Ultimately moving towards the question “Who am I?”

Before seeking a greater spiritual experience…

Practice a small discipline every day can be the beginning of this journey.
