The first three sutras of Sage Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras are: Atha yogah anushasanam. Yogah chitta vritti nirodha. Tadha drashta swaroope awasthanam. The first sutra is the introduction to Yoga. The second sutra mentions that with Yoga we quiet the mind, we get over the agitation and distractions in the mind. The third sutra says that once the mind is stable and at peace, it can look inward or it can look at the world without any biases that state is called drashta. The stories that will follow are also my views as an unbiased observer of the happenings around me --- as a drashta (द्रष्टा).
