  Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are one of the six darshanas of Hindu or Vedic schools and, alongside the Bhagavad Gita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika, are a milestone in the history of Yoga.
The Yoga Sutras are built on a foundation of Samkhya philosophy and the Bhagavad Gita.
In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps (the sum of which constitute "Ashtanga Yoga", the title of the second chapter) to quiet one's mind and merge with the infinite.
