Book Overview

The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali is a comprehensive guide to the practice of yoga, written by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali. This particular edition of the book has been translated and annotated by Manilal Nabhubhai Dvivedi. The text is divided into four chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of yoga practice. The first chapter outlines the nature of yoga and its goals, while the second chapter provides a detailed description of the eight limbs of yoga. The third chapter discusses the various powers that can be attained through the practice of yoga, and the final chapter explores the nature of samadhi, or enlightenment. Throughout the book, Patanjali emphasizes the importance of self-discipline, concentration, and meditation in achieving the ultimate goal of yoga, which is to attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
