The beautiful stone figure of the Guru of Yoga Patanjali is given a refine and detail treatment with the Lord being carved out with folded hands. A sense of gracefulness and accomplishment is manifest in the figure. Maharshi Patañjali is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, a major work containing aphorisms on the philosophical aspects of mind and consciousness, and also the author of a major commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi.
In recent decades the Yoga Sutra has become quite popular worldwide for the precepts regarding practice of Raja Yoga and its philosophical basis.
It is claimed that Patañjali is known to be an incarnation of Ādi S'esha who is the first ego-expansion of Vishnu, Sankarshana. Sankarshana, the manifestation of Vishnu His primeval energies and opulences, is part of the so-called catur vyūha, the fourfold manifestation of Vishnu. Thus may Patañjali be considered as the one incarnation of God defending the ego of Yoga.
Patanjali was born to Atri (First of the Saptha Rishis) and his wife Anusuya in South kailash, now called as Thirumoorthy hills which is located 100km away from Coimbatore, India.
