This classic work is considered a central text to an understanding of Yoga compiled by Patanjali. Swami Vivekananda, greatly influenced by Ramakrishna and the 'advaita' philosophy of non-dualism was an impassioned traveller across India and the World, brings together Patanjali's compilation of verses on Yoga. The work is designed with a simple, clean aesthetic by A. Sherlal for a contemporary reader.
