Invocation Chant to Patanjali from the Yoga Sutras at Dukinfield (MDIIY)


Patanjali was an Indian sage and author of The Yoga Sutras in which This invocation is a prayer that honours him and expresses respect to yoga. The video was taken at a yoga event held at MDIIY Manchester andDistrict Institute of Iyengar Yoga, Dukinfield in December 2010. yogena cittasya padena vacam malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena yopakarottam pravaram muninam patanjalim pranjaliranato’smi abahu purusakaram sankha cakrasi dharinam sahasra sirasam svetam pranamami patanjalim hari om To purify the mind (citta), Patanjali gave the science of yoga (yogena) to us. To purify our use of words (pada) and speech (vaca), he gave commentary on grammar To remove the impurities (malam) of the body (sarira), he gave us the science of medicine (vaidyakena). Let me go near the one who has given these things to us. Let me bow down my head with my folded hands to Lord Patanjali. [the second stanza says what Lord Patanjali looks like.] From the hand up to the head he has the shape (karam) of a human (purusa.) In his hand he is holding the conch (sankha) and the disc (cakra.) On top of his head (sirasam) he has got a thousand (sahasra) hoods of cobra, because he is the incarnation of Adishesha, the greatest cobra (Svetam means white). I bow down to that Patanjali.
