Patanjali Yog Sutra | EP #41 | धारणा - ध्यान का पहला कदम | Sri Guru
In Vibhutipada (विभूतिपाद), the third chapter of the Patanjali Yog Sutras, Maharishi Patanjali propounds yet another important element of the Ashtanga Marg - Dharana (धारणा). These Sutras talk about bringing your intense awareness upon a certain object (whether light, sound, breath, etc.). Although Dharana has long served as a powerful medium in one's journey of Sadhana, the absence of an enlightened master often breeds many misconceptions about this glorious practice.
Here, Sri Guru redefines the practice of Dharana, in a way that it becomes a stepping stone toward Dhyana.

_________________________
The teachings of Yoga that had been handed down in an oral tradition over thousands of years from ancient times, are said to have been synthesized and compiled by Maharishi Patanjali in the form of ‘Yog Sutra'- one of the foundational texts of classical Yogic Philosophy. The Patanjali Yog Sutras explain about the अष्टांग योग (Ashtanga Yog) illustrating the 8 Elements for a Holistic Life, i.e. यम (Yama), नियम (Niyam), आसन (Aasana), प्राणायाम (Pranayama), प्रत्याहार (Pratyahara), धारणा (Dharaana), ध्यान (Dhyana), समाधि (Samadhi). The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali consist of 196 Sanskrit Sutras organized in 4 Adhyaya (chapters) - समाधिपाद (Samadhipadah), साधनापाद (Saadhanpadah), विभूतिपाद (Vibhutipadah) and कैवल्यपाद (Kaivalyapadah). He defines Yoga as that which restrains the mind-stuff (Chitta) from taking various forms (Vrutti).
At SRM, Sri Guru has always emphasized the subtler spiritual objective of Yoga; hence, the term ‘YogaYog' was coined- experiencing Union (Yog) through Yoga. Through this Satsang series on the Yog Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali, Sri Guru takes the seekers deeper into the understanding of ‘Union' through physical, mental, and intellectual evolution.
