The Most Important Sutra

During a Raja Yoga Teacher Training course, Swami Satchidananda is asked, “What is the most important sutra in Raja Yoga?” He explains that the essence of Raja Yoga is to teach us what Yoga is and how to be a yogi. He reminds the trainees that real Yoga is learning to keep the mind well balanced and undisturbed always. He gives several key sutras and notes that the 2nd sutra alone is enough because it explains the very goal of Yoga and all the other sutras elaborate on this essential sutra. He also responds to questions regarding the practice of brahmacharya and regarding facing fears. (c)2017 Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville, Inc. / www.integralyoga.org
