Sleeping Tortoise

The sleeping tortoise takes all its limbs into its carapace. So does the yoga: going back into himself he does not see anything worldly any longer, He makes peace in himself. -B.K.S. Iyengar Namaste Pamela Nelson Www.plnyoga.vpweb.com

Invocation to Patanjali

yogena cittasya padena vacam
malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena
yopakarottam pravaram muninam
patanjalim pranjalir anato'smi
abahu purusakaram
sankha cakrasi dharinam
sahasra sirasam svetam
pranamami patanjalim

English Translation:
Let us bow before the noblest of sages, Patanjali, who gave yoga for serenity and sanctity of mind, grammar for clarity and purity of speech, and medicine for perfection of health.Let us prostrate before Patanjali, an incarnation of Adisesa, whose upper body has a human form, whose arms hold a conch and a disc, and who is crowned by a thousand-headed cobra.
