patanjali

I presume you mean Ashtanga Yoga as given in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

A framework for such a practice can be seen in the Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali which was influenced by Buddhist practices.

After that, you might look into Why Buddhism is True or The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali or Mindfulness in Plain English.

Even Patanjali is mentioned as Śeṣa in the scriptures and every school agrees with it.

Or as Patanjali the writer of the famous Yogasutra called it: Stopping to identify with the ebbs and flows of the mind.

If Patanjali had patented his Yoga sutras, we may not even be aware about this great practice.

A complete framework/discipline like Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga is a good one to follow.

The definition I give above, refers to the Patanjali Yoga Sutra definition of Dhyana, which is essentially an extremely old technical document related to meditation and yoga.

Why the comment removed I said this breathing is in ancient Hindu scripture Patanjali Yoga Sutras???

Yoga is now a global phenomenon and I personally know many people in the west and elsewhere study Patanjali and other texts.

This is from Indian Hindu text Hathayoga and known as Pranayam not the creation of Dr Andrew You should give the credit to the right text Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

One article (apparently by the same author) mentions that the Canadian government denied Patanjali Kambhampati (a physical chemist who seems quite accomplished, and works on quantum dots, has published 132 papers, and has an h index of 37) grants because he refuses to write the kind of woke diversity statement that the Canadian grant authorities demand.

Patanjali Raja Yoga follows on Samkhya by giving a eight-part framework/discipline (aka Ashtanga Yoga) to literally "stop all mental/thought stuff creation/expansion".

In fact, Patanjali himself is in the theistic school of Sāṁkhya as he talks about: "īśvara praṇidhāna" in the sūtras and even defines īśvara.

In Patanjali Yoga Sutras the concept of "God" is merely used as an entity and technique to help you in your practice to break out of your self-identity (i.e.

> "God" is merely used as an entity That is true, because Patanjali's project was "svarūpe avasthānam", the method by which the seer can abide in its own nature.

Patanjali, the Yogacharya, and Patanjali, the Grammarian were different people.

Read into philosophy (not the depressing kind), read books like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishadas.

Patanjali in the Yoga Sūtras says that the seer abides in its own nature, that is what pure consciousness is.
