What is Kaivalya Pada?
Kaivalya Pada is the fourth chapter of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a key text in the philosophy of yoga. The term “Kaivalya” can be translated as “liberation” or “isolation,” and Pada means “chapter” or “section.” Therefore, Kaivalya Pada is the “Chapter on Liberation” or the “Chapter on Final Isolation,” which addresses the ultimate freedom of consciousness from the cycle of suffering and ignorance.
