DOWNLOAD EBOOKSage Patanjali systematized the science of Yoga that has been in existence in India since times immemorial. Historians believe that he lived near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh in BC 400. So the Yoga Sutras are about 2400 years old. He built the edifice of his Yoga Sutras on the foundation of a much older Sankhya philosophy. In this course he appears to have borrowed some concepts from Buddhist philosophy also. Sage Vyasa, King Bhoja, Adi Sankara, Vachasapati Misra, Vijnana Bhikshu, Ramananda Saraswati were the main commentators on these highly abstruse sutras. In the modern age, Swami Vivekananda breathed new life into them by his English speeches some 125 years back. I made a humble attempt to explain the intricacies of these sutras in a simple manner. I believe this book will make the reader understand the real meanings of the sutras in a simple and straight manner.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDating from about the third century A.D., the Yoga Sutra distills the essence of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga into fewer than two hundred brief aphorisms. It is the core text for any study of meditative practice, revered for centuries for its brilliant analysis of mental states and of the process by which inner liberation is achieved. Yet its difficulties are legendary, and until now, no translation has made it fully accessible. This new translation, hailed by Yoga Journal for its "unsurpassed readability," is by one of the leading Sanskrit scholars of our time, whose Bhagavad Gita has become a recognized classic. It includes an introduction to the philosophy and psychology underlying the Yoga Sutra, the full text with explanatory commentary, and a glossary of key terms in Sanskrit and English.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is a classic Sanskrit treatise consisting of 195 “threads,” or aphorisms, describing the process of liberation through yoga. Although little is known about Patanjali (most scholars estimate that he lived in India circa 200–300 B.C.), his writings have long been recognized as a vital contribution to the philosophy and practice of yoga. This new, expert translation of the original Sanskrit text of Patanjali’s best-known work presents his seminal ideas and methods in accessible, plain-language English. Patanjali organized the sutra into four parts: Samadhi (absorption), Sadhana (practice), Vibhuti (supernatural powers), and Kaivalya (liberation). Each represents a step in breaking free of our limited definition of consciousness and training the mind to achieve oneness with the universe. Geshe Michael Roach, one of the most respected teachers of Tibetan Buddhism in America and a renowned scholar of Sanskrit, provides authoritative commentary on each of the sutras. His notes and clarification are straightforward and highly readable, untainted by obscure, academic terminology or New Age jargon. The first edition of the Yoga Sutra to present a Buddhist perspective, this paperback original will be welcomed by students and spiritual seekers alike.

In this book, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a master of yoga for the 21st century, offers his own commentary on this fundamental work. "The aim of Patanjali Yoga is to set man free from the cage of matter.
