This is not just another translation of the Yoga Sutras from Sanskrit. Readers may discover, perhaps for the first time, the hidden meanings of sutras 1.17, 2.47, 3.4, and many others.

The distinctive features of this edition are, first, a carefully verified and meaningful translation, presented in a way that preserves and conveys the original intent of the sutras without resorting to confusing, quasi-philosophical formulations. Commentaries have been added alongside the sutra translations wherever further clarification or comparison with other yogic and Buddhist texts is required.

Second, the practical focus of this edition enables a deeper understanding of the method proposed by the author of the Yoga Sutras for attaining the goal of yogic teaching-the development of superconsciousness. Applying this method allows readers to work toward achieving this goal through personal practice.
