Yoga Philosophy: In Relation to other Systems of Indian Thought  (Paperback, S. N. Dasgupta)

About The Book: This book provides a thorough exploration of Yoga Philosophy, tracing its origins back to the ancient Upanishads and examining its relationship with Patanjali's teachings. It delves into the Theory of Gunas and explores fundamental ontological inquiries through this framework. The concept of the soul is scrutinized alongside Yoga's cosmological viewpoints. Moreover, it contrasts Sankhya's atheism with Yoga's theism and scrutinizes the psychological dimensions and ethical frameworks inherent in Yoga. Practical applications and real-world implementations of Yoga are also discussed, catering to both scholars and practitioners. The book's comprehensive index enhances its utility as a guide. Despite Yoga's classification as one of the six orthodox systems of philosophy, questions persist regarding its distinctions from Kapila's Sankhya, challenging conventional understanding and inviting deeper inquiry.
