Yoga Philosophy of Patajali

The Yoga Sutras of Patajali are universally acknowledged as the fundamental text on yoga and meditation in the Indian classical tradition. This English translation of Yoga Philosophy of Patajali is widely regarded as the most authoritative and authentic that has been available in recent times. It is a serious and clear presentation of Patajali's sutras and Vysa's Bhsya, providing these basic texts both in the original Sanskrit and in readable and accurate English. These classical works are augmented by the commentary of Swami Hariharananda Aranya, a scholar and yogi of great repute, who, in his lifetime, was the foremost exponent in India of the Skhya Yoga system of which the Yoga Aphorisms of Patajali are the principal work.
