8. SM

Nithya Kriya SM is soundly anchored in the sacred yoga scriptures, including the legendary Patanjali Yoga Sutras, as well as the three classic texts that form the base of yoga - Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhita. Scriptural Roots of Nithya Kriya

Patanjali Yoga Sutra

The Patanjali Yoga Sutras is the foundational text of yoga, written by the father of yoga, the enlightened sage Patanjali. This esoteric yet highly practical text is based on Sankhya Yoga. It is said to date back to the 2nd century BC, although it is believed to be far more ancient. Patanjali Yoga Sutras emphasize the value of yoga as a lifestyle through ashtanga yoga (8-limbed yoga).

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are useful even after 5,000 years; they are time-tested and fool proof and still produce the intended results for hundreds of yogis around the world.
