Introduction
All human beings are bestowed with latent psychic capabilities, which can be revealed by various methodologies mentioned by Maharshi Patanjali. By practicing these scientific techniques, human beings can attain their natural state of bliss and thus realize the ultimate Truth. On material front, one can gain positive attitude, enjoy better health, and lead a harmonious & happy life.

Why this Book?

Many authoritative commentaries on Maharshi Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra are available in the market. But it has been observed that the available literature is either too complex or too bulky to generate the interest. Further, most of the literature also appears to have been explained with a conditioned mind set. Hence the inspiration to compose the present book.

Reader’s Segment 

This book has been specifically designed to cater to the needs of both the beginners and the advanced seekers. Its compactness will be of special interest to busy people for whom time is a major constraint.

Uniqueness of the Book

  • In this unique effort, the translation (from Sanskrit to Hindi) of the Yoga Sutra has been done with an unbiased and pure mind. The translation is very simple and uses minimum words, without losing the essence. The result is a very compact yet a complete book. 
  • Each word of the Sutras has been translated in such a way that the translation read from top to bottom makes a complete sentence. After each Sutra, a link (Sangati) has been provided, which not only links it with the previous Sutra, but also sheds light on the subject matter of the succeeding Sutra.
  • Maharshi Kapil’s Tattavsamas is the core of the Patanjal Yoga and normally not found in most of the commentaries. But this book covers this very important part of Sankhya Darshan.
  • At the end of the book, running list of Sutras has been printed in bigger fonts for the ease of recitation. In addition, a cross-section of relevant information from various perspectives has been compiled in the shape of tables. Diagram displaying the Sankhya hierarchy, at a glance, has also been given in the annexure. Also various foot notes have been provided, giving additional information on the relevant subject matter.
     


     

     
  • The book is likely to be used repeatedly by the seekers. Hence to increase its life, excellent quality of material (printed on 100 GSM White Italian maplitho paper) has been used. Lots of white marginal space on each page is available for comfortable reading and making personal notes.
