Wisdom of Pantanjali's Yoga Sutra Book

Some of yogaâ??s most important writings, Patanjaliâ??s Yoga Sutras have remained relevant for 2,300 years because of their wisdom and inspiration. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps to quiet the mind and achieve the sacred state of kaivalya. Spread throughout are Patanjaliâ??s 196 aphorisms, found in each of the book's four chapters: â??Samadhi Padaâ? (blissful state where the yogi is absorbed into the One), â??Sadhana Padaâ? (practice or discipline), â??Vibhuti Padaâ? (power or manifestation), and â??Kaivalya Padaâ? (liberation). In The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, noted scholar and longtime practitioner Ravi Ravindra offers a fresh, direct translation of Patanjaliâ??s text. Ravindraâ??s enriching, extensive commentary and his spiritual exercises make this book an integral part of daily practice.Read More
