The yoga sutras

Hardcover; xiv + 137 pp., including a glossary. From the inside cover: " The origin of our contemporary practice of yoga can be traced back to one of the most venerated wisdom books of India: the Yoga Sutras. Comprised of 195 aphorisms, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is a fundamental work that defines the system. Over the centuries, many important commentaries have been written seeking to explain and extrapolate on the full meaning of the sutras, and to this day, the text continues to be appreciated for the deep psychological insights it contains.This new translation and guide-produced by the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, a recognized independent centre of the University of Oxford-offers an accessible reading experience for modern audiences without sacrificing any of the profound wisdom of the original Sanskrit."
