The Essence of the Yoga Sutras: An Introduction to Patanjali's Aphorisms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540510730)

The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali present a brilliant system for the direct experience of freedom. When the study and practice of Yoga increase and identity with our thoughts begins to diminish, the assurance of our true, natural state awakens. The path of Yoga then becomes established as the principle that guides our actions and serves as the basis for the removal of doubt, the elimination of suffering, and the fulfillment of inner transformation.

The Essence of the Yoga Sūtras is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of Patañjali's aphorisms. Inside this book you'll find:

• An introduction and overview of the Yoga Sūtras
• A short introduction to the Sanskrit language including an alphabet chart and pronunciation guide
• The Yoga Sūtras with devanāgarī, Roman transliteration, word-by-word analysis, and translation
• A translation of the complete commentary on the sūtras by Vyāsa
• Chapter summaries, an appendix of the sūtras with devanāgarī and transliteration for chanting, an alphabetical index of the sūtras, and a complete glossary
