The sutras of the great sage Patanjali, which together constitute a
landmark text in yoga spiritualism, are available here in this
classic translation by theosophic scholar Charles Johnson.
Historically the most translated of all ancient Indian texts,
Patanjali's sutras since the beginning of the 20th century enjoyed
audiences within and outside India. The translator Charles Johnson
was one of Ireland's celebrated theosophists, with a great interest
in the religious and philosophical texts of old. This edition
originally appeared in 1912, and introduced yoga to Western
audiences. The sutras explain the tenets of various yoga, and how
the yogi is able to absorb energy and strengthen thereby. The means
of gradually attaining a serene mental state known as Kaivalya as a
precursor to the blissfulness of samadhi is detailed. The constant
practice and disciplined honing of the bodily senses, and the
differing forms of yoga used to achieve a state of perfection in
each pillar of the practice.
