I think what is very ironic Suhas is this gentleman Asuri has a web site on Samkhya-Yoga giving translations of the Yogasutras and talking about Samhya-Yoga philosophy, and yet, he fails to understand the very basic principle of Yoga is to eradicate all thoughts and desires(chit vritti nirodha) He claims this is a misinterpretation and what Patanjali is saying that we simply should control desires not eradicate them, despite the fact that I have pointed out to him 10 different translations of this verse which state otherwise.

I had a discussion with him in the past and it became blatantly clear he did not know what Purusha and Prakriti was, and had again taken free licence to translate them as he wanted.

He obviously wants to believe what he wants to believe. The misfortune is he is spreading wrong information online.
