This scholarly edition offers a comprehensive exploration of the Yogasutras, one of the foundational texts of Hindu philosophy and the classical yoga tradition. Authored by the sage Patanjali in the 2nd century BCE, the Yogasutras outline the eight limbs of yoga, including ethical precepts, physical postures, breath control, and meditation techniques for stilling the fluctuations of the mind. This translation by Fernando Tola, Carmen Dragonetti, and K.D. Prithipaul provides a faithful rendering of the original Sanskrit text, accompanied by insightful commentary that illuminates the profound wisdom and practical guidance contained within these ancient aphorisms. For students of yoga, Eastern philosophy, or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the path to spiritual liberation, this volume offers a rich and authoritative resource for exploring the timeless teachings of the Yogasutras.
