Description
The Integrity of the Yoga Darshana focuses on the teachings of Patanjali, the key figure behind the Classical Yoga school of Hinduism and the Yoga-Sutras. This book presents a fresh and innovative interpretation of the Yoga-Sutras, challenging conventional readings that suggest Yoga promotes world-renunciation. Instead, it argues that Yoga encourages a way of living fully in the world without attachment or enslavement to material existence. By addressing misinterpretations from both traditional and modern perspectives, the author provides a deeper understanding of the Yoga-Sutras and their relevance in contemporary spiritual practice.
