Patanjali Yoga Sutras
About the Book
Description
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the foundational text of classical Yoga philosophy. Composed of 196 concise aphorisms (sutras) divided into four chapters, it systematically presents the theory and practice of yoga.
The text defines yoga as "Yogash chitta vritti nirodhah" (Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind) and outlines the Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed path): Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
This edition includes the original Sanskrit sutras, the Vyasa Bhashya commentary, and detailed Hindi explanation.
