Chapter: 45. Who was Patañjali?
Blurb:
The Yogasūtra, also known as Pātañjalayogaśāstra or Yogaśāstra, was composed around the 2nd century CE. What is unclear, however, is whether the Yogasūtra was the work of one ‘author’ or, more likely, several composers and editors over some centuries, all grouped under the credible name of ‘Patañjali’.
