Yoga Chakra Book 8: Exploring Samskaras of Shantata and Niyamitata

The text is curated by the Bihar School of Yoga, an internationally acclaimed spiritual institution founded in 1963 by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Based in Munger, India, the school specializes in synthesizing classical Vedic traditions with contemporary logical and psychological frameworks. The teachings are carried forward by his successor, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, who focuses on integrating head, heart, and hands to foster complete human evolution.

The book demystifies samskaras—the deep-seated behavioral patterns and mental impressions that dictate human actions. The author shifts the focus toward two specific divine qualities required to advance on the spiritual path: Shantata (a state of unshakable inner calmness) and Niyamitata (uncompromising consistency in one's personal sadhana or daily routine). Rather than offering mere philosophical explanations, the text outlines precise mental tools, reflective exercises, and behavioral disciplines that allow a modern practitioner to weed out chaotic mental traits, rewire negative internal habits, and successfully anchor their life in peace and spiritual order
