Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali

One of yoga's most important and influential works, The Yoga Sutras of Pata?jali forms a keystone of Indian philosophical and religious thought.

This volume contains complete sutras, along with a commentary by Veda-Vyasa and explanations by Vachaspati-Mi?ra, plus background information provided by the translator's introduction and appendixes. Unabridged republication of the classic 1927 edition.
