Patanjali, is the original author of the Yoga Sutras, which has
been universally acknowledged as the fundamental text on yoga and
meditation in the Indian tradition.He is also the sage regarded in the opening prayer of Ashtanga Yoga.
The Yoga Sutras codifies the royal or best (raja) yoga practices, presenting these as a eight-limbed system (ashtanga).The focus is on the mind; the second sutra defines
Yoga - it is the
cessation of all mental fluctuations, all wandering thoughts cease and
the mind is focused on a single thought (ekagrata).
