THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI Tr. Swami Vivekananda
The basic questions of Who Am I? Where Am I Going? What Is the Purpose of Life? are asked by every generation, and Patanjali's answers form one of the oldest, most vibrant spiritual texts in the world. Yoga restores our lost wholeness, our integrity as complete human beings, by unifying the personality around a centre that is silent and unbounded. Patanjali explains how this may come about, and exactly how to purify the mind and let it settle into absolute stillness. Composed by the famous Indian sage sometime between the first and third centuries CE, The Yoga Sutras lay the practical and philosophical foundations of Raja Yoga in aphorisms that clearly mark out the path to Self-Realisation. They are presented here in a free translation, with a clear and insightful running commentary, to make them accessible to the modern reader and yoga practitioner. 189pp, 112mm x 160mm, hardback, 2007
