This book was released on 2015 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali embrace the entire science of yoga: its philosophy, practices, and moral code. Because the Yoga Sutras are complex and written in sutra form, the use of a separate commentary to unlock their meaning is essential. However, many of the commentaries are dry and academic, and most students become discouraged rather than inspired in their attempts to study the Sutras. This book provides an inviting approach to studying the Yoga Sutras. Beautiful book design, imagery and commentary bring the Sutras to life. Each Sutra is presented in a layout that contains the Sanskrit text, an English translation, imagery that illuminates the Sutra and a commentary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than ten pages of large type in the original. Yet they contain the essence of practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and detail. The theme, if the present interpreter be right, is the great regeneration, the birth of the spiritual from the psychical man: the same theme which Paul so wisely and eloquently set forth in writing to his disciples in Corinth, the theme of all mystics in all lands.

Book excerpt: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali has long been shrouded in mystery and confusion. That's because existing translations rely on confusing language and outdated interpretations. The process can be so frustrating that it seems that only yoga instructors or dedicated gurus are committed to studying this ancient text, the Yoga Sutra. This guide is intended to teach you how to be the leader in your own spiritual journey. By modernizing and simplifying the sutras, this guide makes it easy for you to know exactly how the sage Patanjali conceptualized yoga and the path to realization. Before you know it, you'll be inspired to start meditating, fostering positivity, and dispelling the toxic elements in your life. The guide is broken down into three chapters packed with helpful tips and information: - Chapter One gives you the history of the Yoga Sutra and how it has changed from the time Patanjali wrote the sutras to today. - Chapter Two provides the full 196 sutras in simple language so that you can easily your own spiritual journey toward enlightenment. This chapter also includes new commentary to give you insight on what each sutra means. - Chapter Three brings the practice to your mat by encouraging you to make the Yoga Sutras your own. You'll be invited to write an intention and explore which sutras will be best for your yoga journey. When you make the sutras work for you, you'll be that much closer to enlightenment. Many of the guides out there for the Yoga Sutra are just as confusing as reading this ancient text in the original Sanskrit. With those other guides, you often find yourself having to re-word the sutras in a language you understand. But, here, you won't be bogged down by dense, hard-to-understand language or outdated phrasing. Everything in this guide has been mindfully written and organized so that you can get the most out of this life-changing yogic journey. What else makes this guide so special? Here are a few other ways this guide stands out among the others: - The format allows you to read through the entire translation of a section before reading the author's. That means you get the opportunity to formulate your own interpretations before reading someone else's. - The sutras are repeated throughout the chapter so that you can naturally become familiar with them instead of having to memorize them. - Definitions of complex ideas are simplified and weaved into the text so that you don't have to reference back to a glossary. Why are these aspects so important for your journey towards enlightenment? Well, the more that you're able to take the wheel and genuinely gain the knowledge of the sages, the more you'll be inspired and empowered to stay committed to your yoga practice. But that's not the only advantage. These intentional formatting and language choices make the Yoga Sutra more enjoyable. Because who ever said that the philosophy of yoga had to be a bore? You can achieve enlightenment and enjoy the process with this guide!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Complete Guide with Translations and Commentary Yoga focuses on meditation, pose, breath, and overall control over the mind and body. In this practice comes the road to enlightenment, and understanding of karma and reincarnation, and the explanation of the external mind-images in comparison to the true self and eternal wisdom that connects everything. It is through continued practice and dedication in meditation and the other methods of seeing beyond the external that the sacred text expands spiritual knowledge. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is one of the main sources of inspiration for these practices. This is a new translation and verse-by-verse commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and it aims to simplify the language and make it accessible for audiences both new and old to the subject matter. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are broken up into four books: Book I: On the Contemplation of the Spirit Book II: On the Discipline of the Spirit Book III: On the Divine Power of the Spirit Book IV: On the Freedom of the Spirit Other than verse-by-verse commentary, this translation also provides commentary on a general overview of each of the four books in the Sutras. Piecing together each section, the road to enlightenment and the eternal wisdom of Yoga is explored with focus on the distinction between the external man and the spiritual man. The guidance of practices and dedication is retained without the confusion of Sanskrit and dated translations that rely heavily on the poetics of the verses. Both the literal and the figurative meanings of more complicated verse are expounded upon, and commentary avoids indulgence on the overly-intellectual with preference towards clear and actionable instruction and knowledge.

Book excerpt: A classic work of Indian philosophy that succinctly spells out how the mind works and what is needed to attain liberation Compiled in the second or third century CE, the Yoga-Sutra is a road map of human consciousness—and a particularly helpful guide to the mind states one encounters in meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices. It expresses the truths of the human condition with great eloquence: how we know what we know, why we suffer, and how we can discover the way out of suffering.

He also provides useful auxiliary materials, including an afterword on the legacy of the Yoga-Sutra and its relevance for us today.
