The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Black Yogi Master and the African Roots of Yoga — The Ancient Wisdom That Unified Kemet, Africa, India, and Beyond

Yoga's foundational scripture, as you've never been taught it — through the eyes of a Black yogi master, and traced to roots the standard story leaves out.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the bedrock of yoga: 196 aphorisms that define what yoga actually is — not postures, but the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind (yogas chitta vritti nirodhah). For two thousand years they have guided seekers toward stillness, mastery, and liberation. Yet the deeper history of this wisdom — its threads reaching back through the Siddhars, into Kemet, and across the ancient African world — has rarely been told.

In The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Black Yogi Master and the African Roots of Yoga, #1 bestselling author Ajarn Shaman Shu (Shri Surya Narayana Swamikal) presents the timeless text alongside a bold reclamation of its origins — arguing that the science of yoga belongs to a wisdom stream that once unified Africa, Egypt, and India.

Inside you'll explore:

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali — the foundational teachings, explained clearly

What yoga truly is: the mastery and stilling of consciousness

The eight limbs (Ashtanga) and the real path to liberation

The 18 Siddhars — the original masters of yoga — and their place in the lineage

The African and Kemetic roots of yogic wisdom, from Patanjali back to their source

How this ancient science unified Kemet, Africa, India, and beyond

Part sacred text, part historical reclamation, this is the Yoga Sutras restored to their fullest lineage — the philosophy of yoga and the forgotten story of where it truly began.

The cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. The African roots of yoga. The wisdom that unified the ancient world.
