Patanjali Yog Sutra | EP #24 | दुःख का कारण अविद्या — Sri Guru

पतंजलि योग सूत्र के दूसरे भाग साधनपाद के आधार पर जानें 'अविद्या' को दुख का प्रमुख कारण क्यों कहा गया है।

Life is full of new challenges and struggles, which often lead to suffering. This suffering can manifest as physical discomfort as well as various mental health issues like stress, anxiety, depression, overthinking, etc. In general, people struggle to identify the underlying reason for suffering and how to get rid of it. Through the Sadhanpada (the second chapter of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras), Maharishi Patanjali points out the primary cause of all our sufferings – अविद्या (Ignorance). 'Avidya' isn't just about having a lack of knowledge, but also about staying attached to wrongful beliefs. Thus, as per the Yog Sutras, we suffer because the fundamental knowledge and beliefs are wrong and inadequate.

In Episode 24, the Master describes Kriya Yoga's role in helping us rise above our sufferings.

_________________________

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.
