Description

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali contain a collection of 196 Indian sutras on the theory and practice of yoga. The Yoga Sutras were compiled by sage Patanjali who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from older traditions. Hindu tradition holds the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali to be the foundational text of classical Yoga philosophy.

Author

Patanjali is the sage traditionally named as author of the Yoga Sutras — a compact classical map of mind, practice, and liberation. The sutras outline concentration, ethics, and the stilling of mental fluctuations in a grammar that later yoga traditions still unpack. Our catalogue carries that spiritual framework in English for readers who want the root text of raja yoga.
