Over time as cultures changed and inner pollution increased, emphasis on Patanjali's Yoga system changed into what was acceptable. Patanjali's body language was completely forgotten. Humanity has stayed true to the words; the spirit has been shrouded in unconscious obscurity.
The state of the body and the quality of the mind has undergone radical changes. Our lifestyle, the way in which we sit, move and work, the types of food we eat and the kind of information we are exposed to have all combined together to make us very different from our ancestors.
The modern mind has an attention span of not more than 3 seconds. To work with the body seems much easier than to work with the mind. We are more comfortable with things at a grosser, material level than at the subtle, spiritual level. Modern man needs the model of the human mind that will be easy to understand and relate with. Also, we need a practice that will be quick, direct and deeply effective.
So what we need is an approach to the practice of yoga that is straight, effective and brings about individual transformation rapidly; an approach that will bring back to life the lost body-language of the great Patanjali himself.
That approach is already here. Paramahamsa, the young, inner scientist and Master of the present age, has a profound understanding of the human mind. With a deep reverence for Patanjali, he re-presents the earlier view of the mind in a direct, modern and elegant manner. He resurrects the lost language of Patanjali's very Being. He brings to vibrant life the body language expressed by the

The Nithyananda Sutra: 'Be Un-clutched'
‘We are nothing but a collection of unconnected, independent, illogical thoughts. By our very nature we are ‘un-clutched’.’
