The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali are universally acknowledged as the fundamental text on yoga and meditation in the Indian classical tradition. This English translation of Yoga Philosophy of Patañjali is widely regarded as the most authoritative and authentic that has been available in recent times. It is a serious and clear presentation of Patañjali’s sutras and Vyaμsa’s Bhasya, providing these basic texts both in the original Sanskrit and in readable and accurate English. These classical works are augmented by the commentary of Swaμmi Hariharaμnanda A÷ran|ya, a scholar and yogi of great repute, who, in his lifetime, was the foremost exponent in India of the Saμm3khya Yoga system of which the Yoga Aphorisms of Patañjali are the principal work.
This English translation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras was originally published by the Vedanta Society, Southern California for the benefit of readers who do not know Sanskrit and yet are interested in Indian psychology which plumbs the depths of the human mind. Swami Prabhavananda has taken special pains in this book to present the philosophy and practice of Yoga in a non-technical, up to date phraseology that can be understood and enjoyed by all enquiring minds.
Patanjali, a pivotal figure in Hindu philosophy, is renowned for his contributions to two significant texts. The Yoga-sutras systematically categorize Yogic thought across four volumes, exploring themes such as psychic power, the practice of yoga, profound contemplation (Samadhi), and ultimate separateness (Kaivalya). Additionally, the Mahabhashya serves as a comprehensive defense of the grammarian Panini, countering critiques from Katyayana while also addressing some of Panini's own aphorisms. Together, these works highlight Patanjali's influence on both yoga and grammar.
A fresh translation of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with word-for-word meanings and precise commentary. New insight into the advanced practices of meditation, kriya yoga and raja yoga. - A gift from a great yogin-

Patňdžali bývá nazýván otcem jógy a je mu připisována učebnice jógy z doby asi 200 let př. Kr., zvaná "Jógasútra", která představuje jeden z nejvýraznějších literárních odkazů staré Indie. Zároveň jde patrně o nejstarší písemný záznam shrnující základní principy jógy, prazáklady jógy.
