"That yoga has fallen down in the eyes of the public and is now even ridiculed and derided must be blamed on those who watered down the yoga of Patanjali and insisted that they had the right to opt only for that part of yoga which they emotionally wanted to follow.
Patanjali's Ashtanga yoga is 'No Option yoga'. Simply performing asanas and pranayama without the higher aspects of yoga is fruitless."
~ Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri
