About the book 

"The Yoga Sutra of Sage Patanjali" with commentary by Shri Lahiri Mahasaya offers insights into the ancient yoga philosophy.

A valuable resource for yoga practitioners and spiritual seekers.

Back of The Book

The classic Sanskrit text of Sage Patanjali's Yoga Sutra is deceptively concise: in fact, it is dense with profound insights into the spiritual path of Kriya Yoga as both the means and end of Self-realization, or merging with the Divine. As such, it has drawn much commentary over the years from sages and scholars alike.
This new treatment of the Yoga Sutra includes key translations of the Sanskrit as well as an original foreword and treasured commentary by acclaimed Yogiraj Shri Lahiri Mahashaya. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda builds upon this substantial foundation with insightful metaphorical explanations that will render the sutras more intelligible to contemporary seekers. The subtle repetitions of this tripartite structure (translations, commentary by Shri Lahiri Mahashaya, and metaphorical explanations by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda) serve to reinforce the complex ideas of each sutra. However, following the example of Shri Lahiri Mahashaya, these new explanations are delivered in accessible and clear language to aid the modern reader's understanding.
As with Sage Patanjali's original text, this set of reflections on the Yoga Sutra is destined to be a cherished companion to countless spiritual seekers as they progress on the path, or pada, towards the ultimate union.
