Ashtanga Yoga - Yama3: Patanjali Yoga Sutra 82
Description:
"Why are laws made?", enquires Paramahamsa Nithyananda and begins today's Patanjali Yoga Sutra 82, chapter 2, verse 31 - "Jaati Desha Kaala Samaya Anavacchinnah Saarvabhaumah Mahavratam". This translates to "these great vows - ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (living like God) and aparigrahah (living with minimal) are universal truths; not conditioned, not restricted by birth or species, place or time, circumstances or situations - beyond all these, these 5 vows are universal."
