A concise and poetic rendering that conveys the essence and depth of
this perennial classic of yoga.
"This beautiful, poetic rendition of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras was
gathered from Mukunda's lifetime of abiding in the good company of the
saints and sages of the Great Tradition. We can rely upon the fact that
these words come from his own authentic experience of love and life and
of Yoga. Please enjoy this gift of poetry from Mukunda and embrace the
beauty of your life every day." --Mark Whitwell, author of Yoga of
Heart: The Healing Power of Intimate Connection
Patanjali is to yoga what the Buddha is to Buddhism. His yoga
sutras--literally "the path to transcendence"--are a means to profound
self-realization and are considered the spiritual and philosophical root
of the yoga tradition in its various forms.
This concise, poetic rendering of the classic Yoga Sutra text conveys
both the essence and depth of the yoga tradition. Mukunda Stiles had a
lifelong devotion to the spiritual practice of yoga. Here, he shares
Patanjali's essential work with precision and insight. He also includes
a succinct line-for-line commentary, as well as word-by-word
Sanskrit-to-English translation.
