The Story of Adishesha

Patanjali’s Legacy - The Divine Roots of Yoga

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a comprehensive book where Maharishi Patanjali describes the 196 sutras on the theory and practice of Yoga. Though Yoga was being practiced in the pre-vedic period, Maharishi Patanjali systemized and codified the existing Yogic practices, its meaning and its related knowledge.

Maharishi Patanjali is believed to have lived in the 2nd Century BCE. Maharishi Patanjali is said to be the reincarnation of Adishesha, the 1000-head serpent who is said to support Lord Vishnu. As per legend, he fell in the form of a serpent into the hands of a virtuous woman named Gonika, who was praying for a son. It is believed that the serpent was none other than Adishesha, who reincarnated as Patanjali.

Another legend says that once while watching Lord Shiva dance, Adishesha was unable to support the weight of Lord Vishnu. Upon asking the reason for this, he was informed by Lord Vishnu it was because of his harmony with Lord Shiva’s state of energy owing to the practice of Yoga. Realizing the benefits of Yoga, Adishesha decided to be born amongst human to impart the knowledge of the great art. Hence he took birth in the form of Patanjali.

Aidshesh Yoga Retreats in Rishikesh, India A Sanctuary for Holistic Wellness

Adishesh Yoga is situated on the banks of the sacred Ganga River, nestled beneath the Himalayan Mountains, on the outskirts of the Yoga Capital of the World—Rishikesh, India. The name Adishesha is derived from two Sanskrit words: "adi," meaning "first" or "primordial," and "shesha," meaning "remainder" or "that which remains." Adishesha, also known as Ananta, is the cosmic serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu rests, symbolizing the eternal and infinite support of the universe.

Sage Patanjali, the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, is traditionally regarded as an incarnation of Adishesha. According to legend, Adishesha took human form as Patanjali to impart the knowledge of yoga, grammar, and medicine to humanity. This divine association highlights Patanjali’s role as a transmitter of spiritual and cosmic wisdom. Adishesha also represents the maha-kundalini shakti—the great serpent power that lies dormant within all beings—thus linking the practice of yoga to the awakening of divine consciousness.
