Patanjali defined yoga as "Chitta Vritti Nirodha", which means that if you can still the modifications and activity of the mind, you are in yoga. 

This chant, an excerpt from Patanjali’s yoga sutras is composed and sung by Sounds of Isha. 
#InternationalYogaDay

Yoga
Your face is hard,
they think you are a loveless wench
To me you are like a lover’s song
gentle as the spring breeze
Like a mango tree in full bloom
every leaf hides a delicious fruit

Such bare and scarce ways
did your progenitor describe you:
folks would never know
the luscious lass that you are

Clothed in rough and common raiment,
who could dream
of the uncommon possibility
that you are

I espied and pursued you
with a stout heart

Waiting and wooing
for lifetimes three

Trailing you through terrain unknown
of untold pain and sweetness too
The very journey has left me so complete—
the creation and creator are within me

Can no more see the world without you
-Sadhguru

Lyrics and Meaning: 

योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः 
yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ
Yoga is to still the patterning of consciousness

तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम् 
tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe-'vasthānam 
Then, pure awareness can abide in its very nature

वृत्ति सारूप्यमितरत्र 
vṛtti sārūpyam-itaratra 
Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness

वृत्तयः पञ्चतय्यः क्लिष्टाक्लिष्टाः 
vṛttayaḥ pañcatayyaḥ kliṣṭākliṣṭāḥ
There are five types of patterns, including both hurtful and benign

प्रमाण विपर्यय विकल्प निद्रा स्मृतयः 
pramāṇa viparyaya vikalpa nidrā smṛtayaḥ
They are right perception, misperception, conceptualization, deep sleep, and remembering

प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि 
pratyakṣa-anumāna-āgamāḥ pramāṇāni 
Right perception arises from direct observation, inference, or the words of others

विपर्ययो मिथ्याज्ञानमतद्रूप प्रतिष्ठम् 
viparyayo mithyā-jñānam-atadrūpa pratiṣṭham
Misperception is false knowledge, not based on what actually is

शब्दज्ञानानुपाती वस्तुशून्यो विकल्पः 
śabda-jñāna-anupātī vastu-śūnyo vikalpaḥ 
Conceptualization derives from linguistic knowledge, not contact with real things

अभावप्रत्ययालम्बना तमोवृत्तिर्निद्र 
abhāva-pratyaya-ālambanā tamo-vṛttir-nidra 
Deep sleep is a pattern grounded in the perception that nothing exists

अनुभूतविषयासंप्रमोषः स्मृतिः 
anu-bhūta-viṣaya-asaṁpramoṣaḥ smṛtiḥ 
Remembering is the retention of experiences

अभ्यासवैराग्याभ्यां तन्निरोधः 
abhyāsa-vairāgya-ābhyāṁ tan-nirodhaḥ 
Both practice and non-reaction are required to still the patterning of consciousness

This instrumental rendition of the Yogeshwaraya chant is by bansuri maestro Rakesh Chaurasia. Playing mesmerizingly, he gives a surreal feel to this ancient chant.

In the Indian tradition, Shiva, the Adiyogi has many forms, each of which represents a powerful possibility for inner evolution. Yogeshwaraya - meaning the lord of Yoga - is a musical offering to Adiyogi by Sounds of Isha, Pandit Jasraj and Rakesh Chaurasia.

In the yogic tradition, Shiva is not worshiped as a God. He is the Adiyogi, the first Yogi, and Adi Guru, the First Guru from whom the yogic sciences originated. Guru Purnima is celebrated as the day when Adiyogi began the transmission of these sciences to the Saptarishis, his first seven disciples. So this Guru purnima, this is our musical garland. An offering of different renditions of the Yogeshwaraya chant to the Adiyogi.

Lyrics and Meaning:

Yogeshwaraya Mahadevaya
The Lord of Yoga, the great one

Trayambakaya Tripurantakaya
Three-eyed one, destroyer of the Tripura

Trikagni Kalaya Kalagni Rudraya
He who like fire, devours the past, present and future within himself

Neelakantaya Mrityunjayaya
Blue-throated one, who has conquered death

Sarveshwaraya Sadashivaya 
Lord of everything, the eternal one

Mahadevaya Namaha
Oh great one, we bow down to you

Yogeshwaraya - The Source Of Yoga

Yogeshwaraya Mahadevaya Instrumental - Rakesh Chaurasia | Bansuri | Shiva stotram

On Dec, 11, 2012, The GodFather of Sitar & WorldMusic left this world's stage to play with the heavenly orchestra. This is a little tribute to him who was an inspiration to so many, and to me to get hold of a sitar & try to play it. May he live & be blessed forever...

"Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar, who was responsible for bringing classical Indian music to the masses in the Western world via Beatle George Harrison's interest in Shankar, his instrument and his Hindu religion, died at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla last week. He was 92.

Shankar had been given heart-valve replacement surgery. A message on his website said, "Though the surgery was successful, recovery proved too difficult for the 92-year-old musician."

The three-time Grammy winner's final performance was Nov. 4 in Long Beach; it was a celebration of his 10th decade in music.

In 1952, Shankar began a musical collaboration with Western classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin but their work, while highly lauded, didn't bring about mass exposure to a Western audience. That would come a decade-and-a-half later.

In 1965, Harrison developed a fascination with the sitar and Indian music. The Beatle bought a secondhand sitar in a London shop and improvised a sitar part on John Lennon's "Norwegian Wood," marking the first time the instrument was used in a Western pop song (months earlier, The Yardbirds recorded a version of their hit, "Heart Full of Soul," with a sitar as the lead instrument, but that version wasn't released until much later).

In June 1966, Harrison met Shankar and asked to be his student. Shankar accepted. Interest in the sitar and other Indian instruments and the music spread through rock music like a wildfire.

His appearance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival provided his introduction to a young generation of music fans eager for diverse sounds and blending of musical forms. He also performed at Woodstock and in August 1971, he convinced his friend Harrison to stage rock music's first major benefit, the Concert for Bangladesh, that raised international awareness of the plight of refugees following a devastating cyclone and civil war in the south Asian nation. Shankar opened the two concerts (afternoon and evening) at Madison Square Garden.

Eventually, Shankar became mostly critical of rock's incorporation of the sitar because of its connection to drugs. He and Harrison remained the best of friends and collaborated often until Harrison's death from lung cancer in Los Angeles in November 2001. Harrison was 58.

Among Shankar's survivors are his wife Sukanya and two daughters, acclaimed sitar player Anoushka Shankar Wright, whose husband, Joe Wright, directed the recently released film, "Anna Karenina," and Shankar-Wright's half-sister, adult contemporary singer-songwriter Norah Jones."

Shiva Panchakshara Stotram

Having started off as a drummer in a PopRock Coverband, passing through the eXPerimental & psychedelic stages of music of the 1970s, arrived in the New Millennium as a percussionist in the Berlin Band "Los Multikultis", privileged to play alongside brilliant musicians like Colin Bass of the Band "CAMEL", I now mainly produce WorldFusion music in my home studio in Berlin, Germany   
----------------------------
I'm a Hobby Musician (various drums, sitar, guitar, vox, plus now VST's & loops), Sound- & ComputerEngineer from Berlin/Germany.
Initially having been somewhat forced to "enjoy" a musical education of sorts as a child (playing sheet music on a recorder) I really started enjoying music with the appearance of The Beatles. So I started off my "career" as a drummer in the mid - 1960s here:

After the Band dissolved, and inspired by the upcoming of psychedelic & electronic music I got into SoundExperiments together with the BassMan of our group. Of course, there is no way these can compare to the intricate "symphonies" being created nowadays in the age of computer music.

http://soundcloud.com/experimentator/sets/experimental-sounds-of-the-1960s/

Further following the path of The Beatles, esp. George Harrison, I travelled to India in 1971, getting myself a Sitar there, and upon my return trying to teach myself to play on it:

http://soundcloud.com/experimentator/sets/sitar-music

Later I found out that I also was able to sing, and so I also learned some Guitar playing

http://soundcloud.com/experimentator/sets/vocals-28/

In the mid-1990's I met my friend the BassMan again who had moved to Bavaria and joined another Band. The "Bavarian Power Jam" Session came about very spontaneously around 1995. Credits for anything but drumming go to http://www.dbusk.de

http://soundcloud.com/experimentator/sets/bavarian-power-jam/

Now, having seen the vast possibilities at hand, I have got into "it" again...and with a little help from my newly found and amazingly lovely SoundCloud & FaceBook friends I feel I could succeed...
