A freed mind is an eternal mind!

Patañjali Yogadarśanam is a new translation of and commentary on the Patañjali Yoga system, a 2000-year-old treatise on the wisdom of Yoga and how to achieve it.

The Patañjali system has become a fundamental text in modern yoga circles, but most translations don't capture the essence of Yoga philosophy. Patañjali Yogadarśanam aims to correct that knowledge gap with an updated, in-depth translation. It begins with a detailed introduction to Yoga philosophy and Kapila's Sāṃkhya tradition. Both Sāṃkhya and Yoga are mokṣa dharma śāstras, doctrines to liberate an individual from duḥkha, pain and suffering. These philosophies are also a panacea to unshackle the constant concomitant frustration accompanying all human beings in trying to fundamentally achieve their perfection in all their efforts and endeavors. The book then presents Patañjali's four sections on Yoga philosophy, arranging word-for-word translation of the Sūtrams from Saṃskṛt to English with commentaries. It guides practitioners of yoga to cultivate free and discerning minds.

If you want to understand the complexities of Yoga philosophy and free the mind, this comprehensive text provides the fundamentals of ancient knowledge.
