Future Manifested II
Yoga Sutra 2.16
Future Manifested II begins with a beautifully restrained front: an oversized cotton tee with only the sutra reference at the chest. Across the back, the Sanskrit repeats in measured rows, shifting in tone around one emphatic line. It has the ease of a favourite everyday T-shirt, but the presence of a piece chosen with intention—especially good with relaxed tailoring, worn denim or a long, fluid skirt.
About your tulsi mala
Tulsi is revered in Hindu tradition and regarded as auspicious, with a longstanding place in daily worship and devotion. A tulsi mala carries that significance in a simple strand of wooden beads.
Wear it as a necklace, on its own or alongside your everyday jewellery—a small connection to a living tradition.
We’re including one with every Anuvaka T-shirt as a gesture of goodwill and a thank-you from us.

Yoga Sutra 2.16
हेयं दुःखमनागतम्|
The suffering that has not yet come can be avoided.
Patanjali asserts that it's possible to change your future. It sounds like magic, but it's actually pretty logical. We can change our future by changing the choices we make today.
The philosophy
Future Manifested
Patanjali asserts that it's possible to change your future. It sounds like magic, but it's actually pretty logical. We can change our future by changing the choices we make today.
In his commentary on the Yoga Sutras, Swami Satyananda Saraswati distinguishes between the fruits of karma already ripening in our lives and those we can influence through our actions now. The karma we create in the present helps shape our tomorrow. There is agency in this understanding: our future is something we participate in creating.
This begins with recognising our unhealthy patterns, the argument we keep repeating, the decisions we make out of fear, the resentment we allow to build because we never say what we need. Through awareness and practice, we can change these responses—and with them, the actions and consequences that follow. Our past need not become the pattern for our future.
In Chapter 2, Sutra 16 of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali states: The suffering that has not yet come can be avoided.
