Patanjali Yoga Sutras (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789353116576)

The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali are a fundamental text on the practice of Integrated Living, Attaining Fitness and Joy, and preparing oneself for Liberation.

Even today, such practices are alive in Ashrams, Gurukuls and Villages. Many enlightened Masters have taught and are teaching such values across the globe.

It is hoped that this book, re-interpreted in the context of modern thinking and lifestyle will encourage Educational Institutions, the Medical Fraternity and Administrators worldwide to see how well the practice of Yoga, especially Pranayama and Meditation can be approached and deployed with success.

Mankind's prayer and Gurudev Sri Sri's vision of "a disease-free body, quiver-free breath, stress-free mind, inhibition-free intellect, obsession-free memory, ego that includes all, and soul which is free from sorrow" can then be easily realized.

This book is also written with a view to its adaptation in Sanskrit Grammar colleges, as the words in each Sutra have been identified with meaning. The original Sanskrit text is given with a Latin transliteration and an English commentary.
