| The Integrity of the
Yoga Darshana centres on the thought of Patanjali, the great exponent of the
authoritative and Classical Yoga school of Hinduism and the reputed author of
the Yoga-sutras. In this textual, historical, and interpretive study, whicher
offers a plausible and innovative reading of the ‘intention’ of the
Yoga-sutras, namely that Yoga does not advocate the abandonment or
condemnation of the world, but rather supports a stance that enables one to
live more fully in the world without being enslaved by worldly
identification. Challenging and correcting misperceptions about Yoga drawn by
traditional and modern interpretations of the Yoga-sutras, the author argues
for a fresh vision of the spiritual potential present in this seminal text,
thereby contributing to our understanding of the meaning and practical
relevance of Yoga and its reception today. “A superb piece of work, this book
provides an original, constructive, and insightful interpretation of the Yoga
system.” |
