'''Patañjali''' (devanāgarī: पतञ्जलि) is regarded as the compiler of the Yoga Sūtras, an important collection of aphorisms on Yoga practice.
 
The dates proposed for Patañjali's birth and life vary by a millennium. Some authorities suggest that he lived in the 4th century BCE, while others insist that he must have lived in the 6th century CE. About this, [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky|Mme. Blavatsky]] wrote:
 
<blockquote>The date assigned to him by the Orientalists is 200 B.C. and by the Occultists nearer to 700 than 600 B.C. At any rate he was a contemporary of Pânini.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 251.</ref></blockquote>
