Dr RR Baliga's Philosophical Discourses: Patanjali (India, c. 200 BCE) โ Compiler of Yoga Sutras
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
Patanjali, an ancient Indian sage, is credited with authoring foundational texts in Sanskrit grammar (Mahฤbhฤแนฃya), yoga philosophy (Yoga Sutras), and possibly medicine (Patanjalatantra). Revered as a mystic and philosopher, his works laid the groundwork for classical yoga and linguistics, profoundly influencing Indian philosophical traditions. Though scholarly debates persist about his identity, Patanjali remains a significant figure in Hinduism, particularly in yoga and linguistic studies.
