With its promise of personal improvement, physical well-being and
spiritual enrichment, yoga is enjoying a resurgence in popularity
at the turn of the third millennium. To unravel the mystery of the
discipline, its philosophies and relevance in contemporary life,
the original text of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali must be explored.
This book offers the first accessible translation and commentary on
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. An introductory section examines the
multidimensional aspects of yoga as philosophy, psychology,
science, and religion, as well as exploring popular versions of
yoga in the West. The core of the book offers a new translation of
the entire text of the Yoga Sutras, in a language that is clear and
comprehensible to students. Commentaries are presented to highlight
the meaning of various statements (sutras) and key themes are
outlined via sectional summaries. A full glossary of key words and
names is also provided. Concluding chapters look at yoga in
contemporary life, revealing the popularity of yoga in the 21st
century through Star Wars, and exploring yoga's connection to
health and science, contrasting yoga's holistic view of healing
with that of the limited view of present day medical science.
Sample physical, breathing and meditation exercises are provided.
An Introduction to Yoga Philosophy offers a comprehensive
introduction to the Yoga Sutras text of Patanjali to all students
and interested readers of Indian philosophy and religion, world
religions, east-west psychology, and mysticism.
