Description:
Patanjali's Yoga-sutra, one of the most significant texts in the Indian classical tradition, is considered the foundational scripture of Yoga philosophy. In this book, Dr. Saugata Bhaduri adopts a unique yet simple approach to make the Yoga-sutra more accessible to Indian students.
This English translation of the Yoga-sutra, guided by Prof. Kapil Kapoor at the Shastra Group of the Centre of Linguistics and English, Jawaharlal Nehru University, retains many Sanskrit terms. The English equivalents are provided in footnotes and the glossary, ensuring the Sanskrit technical terms are not inaccurately translated. The translation focuses on conveying the meaning of the sutras as stated, without the addition of extensive commentary, allowing readers to independently interpret the text.
The book presents the sutras in their original Sanskrit form alongside Roman transcription, and it explores Yoga philosophy in relation to the other five orthodox systems of classical Indian philosophy. It also examines how Yoga philosophy addresses issues of cognition and signification.
