Nepal is a multi-diverse country that is also the land of saints, sages, and devas who have significant contributions to the whole human civilization.
Earlier, Greater Nepal was covered from Mt. Kailash, Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Agra, and Calcutta to eastern Sikkim, covering half of present-day India. Nepalese had to compromise with the British during their time in India, giving birth to the name India. The original name of India was Hindustan since it is a holy land of Hindus. The Indian continent was unified by the ancient King Bharat having the capital ties in Bharatpur, Narayanghat district, Nepal. Therefore, India and Nepal had a rooted connection in terms of culture, political, spiritual, and social values.
Myths claimed that all spiritual gurus from all around the world like Yogis of India and Jesus Christ visited Nepal in search of great spiritual vibration in Annapurna and Daman. Meanwhile, there is still confusion among people regarding Yoga’s “Patanjali” birthplace. Let’s find out more in detail.
Life History of Maharishi Patanjali
Patanjali was a great Siddhar and philosopher of some Sanskrit works. Maharishi was the one who derived the true essence of the spiritual path into the word of wisdom that became the Yoga Sutras.
The life biography of Patanjali is still a mystery that is full of myths and contradictions. There is no absolute proof of the Yogi’s birth as it differs over a millennium. Some believe he was born during the 2nd and 3rd centuries BCE, while others claim that he lived from the 4th to 7th centuries BCE.
