Yogena Cittasya

This chant is dedicated to the sage Patanjali, who is the author of the Yoga Sutras. His sutras are thought by many to be the beginning of yoga and the philosophy associated with yoga. This chant is often practiced at the start of a yoga practice or a lecture on the yoga sutras. Sung in Sanskrit, as all chants are, it is an amazing way to connect to the ever present vitality flowing through the universe.


Yogena cittasya padena vacam
Malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena
Yo pakarottam pravaram muninam
Patanjalim pranjaliranato smi

Abahu-purusakaram
Sankha-cakrasi-dharinam
Sahasra-sirsasam svetam
Pranamami Patanjalim

Srimate anantaya nagarajaya namo namah


TRADITIONAL TRANSLATION


I am a deep bow with hands folded to Patanjali,
The most excellent of sages, who removed
Impurity of consciousness through yoga
Impurity of speech through word (grammar) and
Impurity of the body through medicine (Ayurveda).

In the form of a man up to the shoulders,
Holding the conch (divine sound), discus (wheel of time)
And sword (discrimination),
Thousand-headed, white,
I bow respectfully to Patanjali.

To the magnificent endless one, the king of the nagas, salutations, salutations
