Readers may be interested to know that Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles recently hosted a conference on Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras. A video playlist including all of the talks is now available on YouTube.
Among the many fine scholars to present there were Philipp Maas, Sthaneshwar Timalsina, Yohanan Grinshpon, Ian Whicher, Daniel Raveh, Edwin Bryant, and Stephen Phillips. At the conference I gave a talk entitled “Patañjali in the Eyes of His Opponents.” (Click here to access the complete YouTube playlist.)
Thank you, Andrew! Philipp told me that the lectures were online, but I had only managed to discover your Patanjali lecture…
This looks great. I’ve spoken to other presenters and it seems like it was a great conference. Looking forward to watching. Thanks for the heads-up.

Is this video still available? I’m getting a “Video Unavailable”.
The playlist link appears to have expired, but the individual videos are still online.
