Yoga. All the orthodox systems of Indian philosophy point to one

philosophy; the lectures are accompanied by the Sutras (aphorisms)
of Patanjali, along with an explanatory commentary.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is widely regarded as the most
authoritative text on yoga. It comprises a collection of 196 Indian
sutras ("threads" - as sutra translates from Sanskrit) written
1,700 years ago. These threads or aphorisms were compiled by the
Indian sage Patanjali and offer guidelines for living a meaningful
and purposeful life. The book is organized into four parts and
provides descriptions of the eight limbs of yoga, such as pranayama
and asana. The translated text is presented alongside a clear and
insightful commentary by Swami Vivekananda, which makes them more
accessible to the modern reader and yoga practitioner. His message
of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant today,
especially in the current backdrop of widespread political turmoil
around the world.
