Nithyananda
Talks on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
Nithyananda....

Born in Thiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu, South India on 1st January 1978, Nithyananda is a self realized Master. Starting out at a young age, and enduring years of intense penance, He persevered with the single-pointed vision of realizing the Ultimate Truth. He traversed the length and breadth of the country studying with great Masters in India and Nepal. At the age of 22, He experienced the final flowering of Consciousness, when He entered into the state of Ultimate Bliss or Nithya Ananda.
