Book Overview
This fascinating text contains a new, independent translation of Patanjali's 'Yoga Aphorisms', interpreted in the light of ancient and modern psychological knowledge and practical experience. The legendary Patanjali is thought to be the author of many seminal Sanskrit texts, including the Mahābhāsya (treatise on Sanskrit grammar and linguistics) and the Yoga Sutras. An interesting text that will greatly appeal to those with an interest in Patanjali and his Yogic teachings, this text constitutes a must-have addition to any collection of seminal Indian literature. Chapters contained herein include: 'The Five Ideas and Their Control', 'Practice and Uncoloredness', 'Yoga in Daily Life', 'The Five Sources of Trouble', 'The Man and his Body', 'Abstinences and Observances', 'The Mind-Poise', 'On Psychic Powers', 'Seventeen Psychic Powers', 'Greater Powers', et cetera. This antique text has been elected for modern republication due to its immense historical value, and is proudly republished now with a new introduction to the subject.
